“Shawn Combs is a complicated guy, but this is not a complicated case,” Tenney told the court. “This case is about love, jealousy, infidelity and money. This case is about voluntary adult choices made by a consensual relationship with a capable adult. This case is about those real relationships, and the government is trying to turn those relationships into assault cases, cases of prostitution and sex trafficking.”

Tenny told the ju judge that he would hear the “basics” through a variety of witnesses and lens of evidence. Most importantly, the ju judge has the opportunity to “finally” hear the facts about the case.
“Shawn Combs is a complicated man, but this is not a complicated case. This case is about love, jealousy, infidelity, money. This case is about voluntary adult choices made through a competent adult-consensual relationship.”
“I say this isn’t because you’ve heard of the news, read the news, or seen it on social media over the past year and a half,” Tenny said. “This case is not about private lawyers looking for payday trying to get rid of my clients. Over the past year, there has been so much noise around this case. It’s time to cancel that noise and hear and see the evidence presented in this court.”

“He’s not accused of being a jerk. He’s accused of running an assault company,” Tenny said. “And there was the violence you’re hearing about, but you already have, that violence is not part of RICO. That violence is not related to sex trafficking, and violence is not prostitution.”
