The trial of P. Diddy has the potential to go down as one of the biggest of our time, similar to the O.J. Simpson or Rodney King cases, as Sean Combs fights charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and more. In any case, but especially in high-profile trials like this one, every detail matters. And, in this case, there’s one strategic decision that’s allegedly been made by Diddy’s team that connects the music mogul to past defendants like the Menendez brothers — his sweaters.
By now, many who've been keeping up with Sean Combs’ trial has seen the artist renderings of the rapper with his gray hair and goatee and, if you wondered why the defendant is wearing blue, gray or beige sweaters rather than a suit, criminal defense lawyer Mark Geragos says (per the New York Times) it’s an attempt to tap “into the collective unconscious of the jury.”
