Diddy, Prosecutors Square Off Over His Mental ‘Capacity’ to Commit Crimes

A part of Diddy‘s protection entails his psychological capability to commit the crimes whereas he was, primarily, wasted — he even has a health care provider lined up to 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 “psychological situation bearing on the difficulty 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.

In accordance to the docs, obtained by TMZ, prosecutors say authorized precedent requires the protection to give correct discover earlier than providing any “proof of the consequences of medication and alcohol on a defendant’s reminiscence or cognitive operate.”

One different clue is prosecutors describing the physician’s potential testimony as proof of the “defendant’s lack of ability to management [his] conduct.”

What’s fascinating is the federal indictment accuses Diddy of drugging his victims into compliance throughout the “freak offs” — however now it is a query of whether or not Diddy himself was in a haze throughout 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.
