About this episode

<p>"He won't take no for an answer," said prosecutor Christy Slavik. She said it over and over during a summation that lasted more than four hours. She argued that the "common purpose" of Combs and his "inner circle" -- his chief of staff, his bodyguards, and some of his assistants -- was to protect him from bad press and law enforcement. And she recounted the dramatic stories told in the courtroom in the past six weeks: <i>Goodfellas</i>-type scenes of alleged bribery, arson, and kidnapping.<br /><br />If you want to read NBC's coverage of the trial, check out our newsletter, “Diddy On Trial”: <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/diddy-on-trial" target="_blank">NBCNews.com/Diddy</a></p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
