Twelve jurors in New York gathered around 10:00 (14:00 GMT) on Wednesday in a courtroom with firewood to tell Sean “Didi” Grebz that they found him not to blame for running a criminal company and sex trafficking on his ex -girlfriends.

The shameful hip-hop tycoon fell to his knees and buried his head in a chair on the defense table, where he had just spent two months in a test for sexual traffic and racketeering.

Before the sentence came down, Kombs sat quietly in his chair, looking forward, wearing the same almost white sweater and pants he wore through much of his test.

The court subsided when the jurors passed a list of judgment to a court deputy. He was then returned to the front.

And they started reading.

As the sound of “not guilty” ran into court for the first time, justifying combs from the most serious crime of racketeering, the rapper held his head low.

By the time the previous one announced that Kombs was not guilty of sexual traffic, Kombs had a head in his hands.

The jurors found him guilty to the slightest accusations of transporting people to get involved in prostitution. As they confirmed their decision, Combs buried his face in his hands.

There was a noise from small Combs celebrations, which has been in a Federal Prison in Brooklyn since September. He made a prayer sign with his hands to the jurors, then turned and made the same gesture to his family-daughters-twin, sons and an 85-year-old mother.

He appeared in the mouth: “I’m going home.”

The moment seemed equally emotional to many Kombs lawyers, including Teni Geragos, sitting next to him and wiping tears with tissue after the sentence was read.

The crowds respond to the verdict before the New York Court

Combs’ lawyers did not waste time telling the judge that the sentence reached after approximately two days of discussions meant that the combs should be able to leave the Manhattan Judicial Court that day.

His oppression on the most serious accusations meant that he no longer needed to be closed, his lawyer Mark Lambelo told the court, noting that his client’s plane was inaccessible – Chartered and in Maui.

“G -N -Combs have received his life from this court hearing,” he said. “He will not face anything that this court imposes on him.”

Then, in perhaps the most emotional gesture of the day for Kombs, he seems to have expressed his gratitude by pushing his head on his chair on the table for defense.

He rose, clapping hard to hug some of his lawyers. Many family members and supporters in the main courtroom and a full overflow room joined him, applauding.

Then, with one last hug to his lawyer and a wave to his family – blocked by a mass of people and courts – he was accompanied by the court.

The hopes of the hip-hop tycoon of the tycoons were later sunk, as Judge Arun Submanian refused to ensure that another hearing on Wednesday afternoon.

Outside the Manhattan court, there were repeated calls for Free Didi in a large crowd behind the barriers.

But he will remain behind bars until his sentence later this year.
