Yeah, I get what you mean, I even said the prosecution could have brought a weak case. Both the defense and the prosecution teams choose jurors, so if the prosecutor was basically throwing the case then they would certainly try to choose a favorable jury. The court ultimately decides what the jury sees.
I’m just not convinced the government would orchestrate a complex conspiracy to get Diddy on lesser charges instead of just like…not charging him at all in the first place? Allowing him to take a favorable plea deal? Idk there are a lot of ways they could have handled this that seem less complicated than fixing a jury trial.
sure, I get the impulse, but who selects the jury and controls what they see?
