NEW YORK (AP) — Hopes that Sean “Diddy” Combs might testify at his federal sex trafficking trial have faded after his lawyer predicted a defense presentation lasting two to five days. Defense lawyers made the estimate Tuesday when the judge asked how long their case would last. Prosecutors say they’ll rest Friday after presenting evidence for six weeks. The judge says the jury could begin deliberations next week. The 55-year-old Combs has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges. The judge also scolded prosecutors and defense lawyers on Tuesday, saying information about a closed court proceeding involving a juror last week was leaked to a media outlet.
