Marc Agnifilo opened the defense’s closing argument by sharply criticizing the government’s characterization of Combs’s private life as criminal. He jeered at the federal agents for seizing large quantities of Astroglyde and baby oil, sarcastically applauding, “Way to go, fellas,” and insisted that the case had been “badly exaggerated”. Agnifilo argued that what the prosecution portrayed as a racketeering enterprise was nothing more than consensual behavior—a swingers’ lifestyle with drug use—and proclaimed that Combs “did not do racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking."
Before the morning break, Agnifilo portrayed Combs not as a felon but as “a self‑made, successful Black entrepreneur,” emphasizing that the relationships at issue were voluntary, if “toxic,” rather than coerced. He reframed the case as one driven by financial motives, asserting that the accusers, particularly Cassie Ventura, pursued the criminal lawsuit for money—highlighting her multi‑million‑dollar settlement—as opposed to genuine grievances.
