Testimony Wednesday in the sex-trafficking and racketeering trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs was marked by a surprise motion for a mistrial from Combs' defense team. The play, prompted by a reference to destroyed evidence in an arson investigation, was quickly turned back by the judge, who has kept a tight grip on the headline-grabbing trial.

Diddy’s federal sex trafficking trial wrapped its third week on Friday, following a failed mistrial bid and testimony from a former assistant who accused him of rape.
