Marc Agnifilo, Diddy's co-lead counsel, is handling the defense's closing argument Friday and he told jurors Diddy owns the domestic violence stories Cassie and "Jane" told on the stand ... but Agnifilo was quick to point out there are no domestic violence charges here.

00:01The defense is now presenting their closing argument in the Diddy trial,

00:05saying there's no way the mogul is guilty of sex trafficking or racketeering,

00:09and the whole thing is really about Diddy's sex life.

00:12Mark Agnifolo basically indicated the prosecution is acting like bedroom police,

00:15examining Diddy's sex life and looking for dirt.

00:17What he's trying to do, it seems like, is strike fear into the hearts of the juror.

00:21That you could be next.

00:22That you could be next.

00:23He said, the crime scene is your private sex life.

00:26And by using your, he's getting into the minds of the jury that really look at this case and think,

00:31would you want these prosecutors and the feds nosing around in your business?

00:35Agnifolo also attempted to make Swiss cheese of the Rico charges and the Cassie video evidence.

00:41With Kid Cudi, he said burning Porsches is really not Diddy's style.

00:45He said he's a man who would fight him face to face.

00:48And they're not running away from the Cassie video.

00:50He says that is a horrible video of domestic violence, but my client is not charged with domestic violence.

00:55Did he get into baby oil?

00:56He did.

00:57He sort of clowned the prosecutors.

00:59He's like, at the end of the day, all they've gotten off the streets is a bunch of baby oil and astrogly.

01:03Bottom line, Diddy's defense says he's no sex trafficker.

01:06Just a dude who had lots of sex with women he was consensually dating.

01:10He was in an 11 year relationship with Cassie.

01:12He was in a long relationship with Jane, who testified under that pseudonym.

01:16And he said, by the way, when she testified, she went home to the house that he pays for.

01:20But what's really interesting about that element is that both sides are using it.

01:25The prosecution is saying that paying for things allows him to manipulate and coerce them.

01:31The defense is saying the women are getting something out of it and it's their choice.

01:36So it's like the same set of facts looked at two different ways.

01:39Yes, both the prosecution and the defense are trying to rush him on it.

01:43And if that doesn't make sense, your knowledge of Akira Kurosawa films is laughably feeble.

01:48Hang tight, people. We're close to the finish line here.
