Since Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs was arrested in September of last year, headlines have been flooded with RICO charges, accusations of abusive behavior, and baby oil. Coverage has been star studded: Tony Buzbee accused Jay-Z of playing a part in the freakoffs<\/a>, Cassie and Kid Cudi gave testimony in the courtroom, and Brian Steel joined Combs\u2019s legal team<\/a> after Anthony Ricco quit for reasons he refused to share<\/a>. He was charged with some very serious crimes that could, were he found guilty, have him spending the rest of his life behind bars. Today, the jury returned a verdict on the five charges he was eventually tried for. While he will be going somewhere (and that somewhere appears to be prison), the Bad Boy for life managed to avoid a life sentence. Washington Post<\/a> has coverage:<\/p>\n

Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs and his family were jubilant Wednesday after a jury acquitted the music producer of the most serious charges against him: sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. But the jury found Combs guilty of two prostitution-related charges that could carry years of prison time, and it was not immediately clear if he will be freed from jail while he awaits sentencing.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The responses to Diddy beating the sex trafficking and RICO charges have ranged from genuine questions about why some charges stuck and others didn\u2019t: <\/p>\n

And while the charges that stuck could see Combs facing upwards of 20 years, folks are already speculating on how that time could be reduced or pardoned:<\/p>\n

Who else thinks the Diddy verdict doesn’t matter because Velveeta Voldemort will pardon him anyway?<\/p>\n

Knocking off three of the five major charges against Diddy will be an (infamous) feather in Brian Steel\u2019s cap for years to come:<\/p>\n
