A part of Diddy‘s protection entails his psychological capability to commit the crimes whereas he was, primarily, wasted — he even has a physician lined as much as testify — however the feds suppose it is a completely irrelevant level.
Prosecutors filed their opposition to this line of testimony, and within the docs they are saying Diddy needs to have the physician — who’s a Columbia professor — testify he had a “mental condition bearing on the issue of guilt.”
So, what does that imply precisely?
Effectively, the element of his alleged situation is redacted all through the paperwork … however, there are some clues, together with a bit about Diddy’s alleged ingesting and drugging.
Based on the docs, obtained by TMZ, prosecutors say authorized precedent requires the protection to provide correct discover earlier than providing any “evidence of the effects of drugs and alcohol on a defendant’s memory or cognitive function.”

One different clue is prosecutors describing the physician’s potential testimony as proof of the “defendant’s inability to control [his] behavior.”
What’s attention-grabbing is the federal indictment accuses Diddy of drugging his victims into compliance through the “freak offs” — however now it is a query of whether or not Diddy himself was in a haze through the alleged crimes.
Even when he was, prosecutors say the physician’s opinion on whether or not Diddy was “lucid” is irrelevant. Within the docs, they level out the physician’s by no means personally examined Diddy, and his testimony could be primarily based on his expertise with different individuals.
The decide has but to rule on the matter, however the trial is only a week away.
