Sean’s sex trial “Diddy” remains on the right track to start on May 5, and a new legal file suggests that defense lawyers could test an unexpected strategy. His defense team wants to bear witness to a psychiatrist that the 55 -year -old did not have the “mental capacity” to commit crimes, reports People. A large part of the file of the court on which the report is based has been expternal, but it seems that Dr. Elie Aoun would testify that the Combs judgment was affected by drugs and alcohol, according to TMZ.
However, the prosecutors push to block the testimony, arguing that the defense had submitted the witness too late and that Combs does not meet the criteria set out in federal law for such an exception, reports USA today. “The noted testimony concerns the decrease in the decreased capacity of the accused of forming the men required to commit the charged offenses – in other words, a mental state relating to the question of guilt ”, wrote the prosecutors in their file, which was obtained by People. The point of sale notes that “Mens REA” results in “guilty of mind” and refers to the mental state of a defendant. (More Sean Combs stories.)
