Judge Mathis discussed the ongoing trial of music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs and the strategic choice by Diddy's defense team not to call any witnesses. According to Judge Mathis, this decision likely stems from the defense's confidence that the prosecution has not sufficiently proven its case. By not presenting witnesses, the defense avoids potential pitfalls during cross-examination, which could damage their case if witnesses appear unreliable. Judge Mathis, who boasts a successful career as a criminal defense lawyer, noted that he rarely put defendants on the stand, as it's highly risky against an adept prosecutor. He highlighted that while some defendants, like rapper Hurricane Chris, have successfully testified in their defense, these cases are exceptions rather than the rule.
