Diddy trial draws media circus to New York streets: ‘I just want to catch the vibe’

Sean Combs's racketeering and sex-trafficking trial had plenty of cameras but few if any demonstrations or protests

Outside the southern district courthouse in Manhattan, at least a hundred members of the media gathered on Monday as the high-profile racketeering and sex-trafficking trial of Sean Diddy" Combs begins.

Passersby could see dozens of cameras and crew members; perhaps surprisingly, there were few, if any, demonstrations or protests. Rows of cameras in front of the courthouse on both sides of the street could be seen pointed at the entrance.
