When the verdict was read, Sean Combs pumped his fist slightly when he heard he was found not guilty of racketeering conspiracy, the most serious charge. Combs continued to look straight ahead as the remaining verdicts were read. When he heard the first guilty verdict he rubbed his forehead.
There was very little reaction from Combs’ family as the verdict was read. His son Justin leaned down and put his head in his lap while others looked straight ahead. Dana Tran, the mother of his youngest child, was in tears.
As each juror confirmed that the verdict read was accurate, Combs nodded his head and mouthed “thank you” to each of them.
When the verdict was done being confirmed and the judge gave the jurors instructions, Combs turned in his seat to his family and said, “I’m coming home, baby! I’m coming home!”

As the jury left the courtroom, Combs clasped his hands in front of his chest and again mouthed, “thank you.”
Combs kneeled on the ground and appeared to pray briefly after the jury was out of the room.
After the judge left the bench, the defense team hugged and congratulated each other and the Combs family broke into applause. One person exclaimed the defense attorneys were the “dream team.”
As Combs left the courtroom he said to his family, “I love you, I’ma be home soon.”
