How to be a successful Ace Attorney Prosecutor:

Step 1) Pass the Bar exam. This is presumably very easy, considering how young some of the lawyers and prosecutors are in the series. They hand those badges out like hotcakes. Presumably it's part of Themis Legal Academy's graduation package, so you might not even have to TAKE the bar exam! Step 2) Only take murder cases. This will probably happen to you regardless of whether you want it to or not, so I'm including it in the list so you feel like you have SOME control over your life. Step 3) Be an honest and morally good person who seeks for truth and justice above all else in court. This one isn't TECHNICALLY mandatory, but eventually you'll end up facing off against someone from the Wright Anything Agency and once they're involved you'd better get on the level fast, or you risk either humiliation or being arrested for murder. Better to get this one out of the way sooner rather than later. Step 4) Pay the Detectives. Please. Gumshoe desperately needs a raise. If you aren't going to pay your Detectives, you should at LEAST take a summer sabbatical in Europe. Germany would be best. Step 5) This is very important: Be a sadist. Just a bit. Be a troll. A gremlin. A deranged little maniac. You're going to be watching a lot of people suffer on the witness stand (and behind the Defense's bench), and if you don't enjoy watching that happen then you're in for a very miserable career. Might as well get SOME entertainment out of it. Trust me, if you aren't capable of making Phoenix Wright recoil in fear, you're doing your job wrong.

In light of the ongoing human rights crisis in my country, I will not be engaging in the abortion debate on this blog for the foreseeable future.

Right now, men and women—cis, trans, nonbinary—immigrants, natives, and people of color, including many I love and care about, are facing real and urgent persecution. Rather than standing in opposition to those working to free our country from injustice, I am choosing to step back and stand with them.

My beliefs on this issue have not changed, but every battle has its time and place, and I refuse to contribute to an atmosphere of fear. My advocacy will resume when my brothers and sisters have the right to live in safety and in peace.

To anyone I have been insensitive toward or seemed cold/uncaring in the past—I am truly sorry. We all deserve safety.

Trump has so many charges against him that he's almost certainly going to be convicted of something. Not everything, probably not even a majority, but something. He knows he won't get unanimous acquittals across the board, so his only hope will be to slip loyalists onto some of the juries to hang them. A mistrial means months or years of delays as prosecution works each case through the system all over again.

In New York, he'd be retried over and over until a unanimous verdict is reached, guilty or not guilty, however long that takes, and every state level Republican candidate from now on will campaign on promises to drop the charges or pardon him or help him in some way, shape, or form.

In Georgia (he hasn't been indicted yet, but it's coming), he's going to be pardoned almost immediately. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets pardoned before it even goes to trial. Yeah, the governor refused to find 11,000 votes for him, but he's still a Republican and trump is still the leader of his party. If he didn't pardon trump, he would be crucified by his voters and shamed out of office, and his successor would pardon him instead. If he stood his ground and couldn't be bullied into resigning, then just as in New York every Republican candidate would run on the pardon promise platform. Trump will NEVER face justice in Georgia.

In the federal case in Florida, a mistrial means the judge, a trump appointee, could drop the charges and prevent the DOJ from retrying it. Best case scenario, it would get delayed into 2025 or 2026 and a different judge in the southern district of Florida will be randomly assigned to it, but that's assuming Biden wins re-election in 2024. If trump wins, he'd immediately pardon himself, or invoke the 25th to have his loyalist VP pardon him to avoid a Supreme Court decision on a self-pardon's validity. If Biden wins, the 2028 Republican candidates will all run on promises to pardon him, so he'll be out of prison the second the White House goes red. I don't trust Democrats to hold the line long enough for him to die in prison.

The federal case in Washington, DC looks open and shut, the best chance for a conviction. Trump only has four appointees in that district, so the odds of him getting off on a retrial in case of a hung jury are 4 in 13, 30.77% (4/15, 26.67% if Biden can fill the two remaining vacancies). Again, all this does is kick the can down the road until 2025 or 2026. He will walk free whenever the Republicans take back power.

The only way donald trump faces long term consequences for his crimes is if New York stays solid blue for the rest of his life, something like the next 15 or 20 years. The federal charges will disappear the second one of his allies gets elected president; I don't think the party would nominate him for a fourth time in 2028 if he loses 2024 for them, so it's looking like it's gonna be ron desantis vs Kamala Harris (God help us all). Then again, who knows? A lot can happen in the next 5 years, so maybe some nobody will be frontrunner by then and desantis will have slinked away into post-gubernatorial obscurity like Jeb and Charlie Crist. Whoever trump endorses will be the nominee, so whoever strokes his ego the hardest will have hometeam advantage. My money says it'll be some blonde woman or a lightskinned black guy for diversity points (whoever it is, they'll be even farther right than trump himself)

"If Evan gets with someone that's younger or heck, older than him, and he's GENUINELY HAPPY, then who the hell cares??"

"who the hell cares?" so let me tell you

"The District Attorney (DA), also known as a prosecutor, plays a critical role in our criminal justice system. They represent the government in criminal cases and are responsible for ensuring that justice is served by prosecuting individuals accused of committing crimes."

https://ndaa.org/about/what-does-a-da-do/

The public prosecutor prosecutes crimes, not consensual relationships between adults. If Evan and his partner are of legal age and happy, this is not a matter for the criminal justice system.

Trump Federal prosecution end

[maspers]

I think it'd be amusing if there was an Ace Attorney Prosecutor who actually knew when to throw in the towel.

Murderer: This is all just hearsay! That attorney has created this elaborate story to frame me as the culprit. But there's no proof of it! You can't prove a single thing! Prosecutor: Yeah, but who cares? Murderer: What? Athena: WHAT? Judge: WHAT??? Prosecutor: The Defense doesn't need to prove who did it, she just need to prove that the Defendant didn't. Or at least shed enough reasonable doubt on the matter. And she did. I don't have any more evidence to conclusively prove the Defendant did it. So we're basically done here. Murderer: What? You're supposed to be on my side! Prosecutor: No? You're a witness, not a plaintiff. Your Honor, I think we're going to indict this witness of murdering the guy. Murderer: WHAT? WHERE'S YOUR PROOF? Prosecutor: That's for the NEXT trial to figure out. Not this one. Though I hope I get to Prosecute that one too, it seems like it will be fun! Hope your lawyer is as interesting as Miss Cykes over there has been. Murderer: NO! NONONONONONO *has a classic AA Breakdown* Prosecutor: You do realize your reaction is just incriminating you further right? Sheesh, why do none of my witnesses ever manage to keep their composure? Athena: ...Because they're guilty? Prosecutor: That's for me to prove in the next trial! Take 'em away, Bailiff! Judge: This is... highly irregular- Prosecutor: This is literally what we're supposed to be doing. Judge: Errr I guess the Court finds the Defendant Not Guilty! *confetti rains down* Athena: What just happened? Prosecutor: What just happened is you successfully proved that your client was probably innocent, and I get paid to do another trial! Thanks a bunch! Athena: ...But I did have evidence to prove that witness did it. Prosecutor: Great, can I see it? I can use it in the next trial! Athena: I'm so confused right now

Dropped Charges in Diddy’s Trial? Exploring The Speculation

On June 24, 2025, the high-profile federal trial of music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs took an unexpected turn when prosecutors dropped several charges against him, including attempted kidnapping, attempted arson, and aiding and abetting sex trafficking. These charges were part of a broader case accusing Combs of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution, all of which he has denied. While the trial continues with other serious charges, the decision to drop these allegations has sparked questions and rumors—especially the idea that Combs may have influenced the outcome through political donations, such as to former President Donald Trump. This writing explores that speculation, clarifies what we know, and encourages us to think critically about justice and power.

The Trial and Dropped Charges

Sean Combs, known as Diddy, was indicted in September 2024 on charges tied to an alleged criminal enterprise involving coerced sex acts, violence, and manipulation. Prosecutors claimed he ran a network that trafficked women, supported by testimony from 34 witnesses, including ex-girlfriends like Casandra Ventura (Cassie) and another woman known as “Jane.” The trial, held in New York, has drawn massive attention due to Combs’ fame and the gravity of the accusations.

Just before closing arguments, prosecutors informed Judge Arun Subramanian they would no longer pursue the charges of attempted kidnapping, attempted arson, and aiding sex trafficking. According to legal experts, this move was to “simplify” jury instructions, focusing on core allegations like sex trafficking and forced labor. For example, testimony about kidnapping (from former assistant Capricorn Clark) and arson (from rapper Kid Cudi about a car fire) lacked sufficient evidence to hold up. Dropping these charges doesn’t clear Combs—he still faces five counts, including racketeering and sex trafficking, which could carry a life sentence if he’s convicted.

The Rumor—Did Donations to Trump Play a Role?

The timing of the dropped charges has fueled online chatter, with some speculating that Combs may have donated money to Donald Trump, who was inaugurated for his second term in January 2025, to influence the case. This idea stems from a broader distrust in the justice system, where people wonder if wealth and political connections can sway legal outcomes. Social media posts have even suggested a direct financial exchange, though no evidence supports this claim.

Let’s be clear—there is no documented proof that Combs donated to Trump’s campaign, political action committees, or any related entities in connection to this trial. Financial records, campaign finance reports, and news outlets show no such transactions. Combs has not been publicly linked to Trump politically in recent years, and Trump’s administration has not commented on the case. The speculation appears to be driven by skepticism rather than facts, amplified by the high-profile nature of both figures.

Why the Speculation Persists

So why do these rumors gain traction? First, history shows that wealth and influence can sometimes affect legal outcomes. High-profile cases, like those involving Harvey Weinstein or Jeffrey Epstein, have raised questions about whether powerful people face the same consequences as others. Second, Trump’s return to the presidency has reignited debates about political pardons and influence, with some pointing to his past comments on celebrity cases. For instance, a June 2025 article noted speculation about Trump potentially pardoning Combs, though no action has occurred.

Third, the dropped charges themselves invite curiosity. Why would prosecutors abandon serious allegations after six weeks of testimony? Legal analysts explain it as a strategic choice: the evidence for kidnapping and arson was weak (e.g., no one was charged for the car fire Kid Cudi mentioned), and focusing on stronger charges like sex trafficking makes the case clearer for the jury. Former federal prosecutor David S. Weinstein called it a “partial victory” for Combs, not a dismissal of the core case. Still, the timing—days before jury deliberations—can look suspicious to those already distrustful of the system.

What We Know About the Legal Process

To understand the dropped charges, it’s helpful to know how federal trials work. Prosecutors build cases on “predicate acts”—specific crimes that support broader charges like racketeering. In Combs’ case, they initially included kidnapping and arson as part of the racketeering conspiracy but later found the evidence lacking. For example, Capricorn Clark’s kidnapping claim (being driven to a residence by Combs) couldn’t be fully substantiated, and the arson allegation (a Porsche fire) wasn’t directly tied to Combs. By dropping these, prosecutors aim to avoid confusing the jury and strengthen their focus on sex trafficking, where testimony from Ventura and Jane is central.

This is a common legal strategy, not a sign of external influence. The judge, Arun Subramanian, oversees the process, and both sides rested their cases on June 24, 2025, with closing arguments set for June 26. The jury will decide based on evidence, not rumors.

As you’re learning to question narratives and seek evidence. The idea that Combs donated to Trump to drop charges is a compelling story, but it lacks any paper trail or credible reports. Here’s how to approach it:

Check the Source: Rumors on social media, like X posts claiming a “courtroom win” for Combs, often exaggerate or speculate without proof. Look for primary sources, like court filings or statements from prosecutors, to verify claims.

Understand Bias: Distrust in institutions can fuel theories about corruption, but assuming a donation without evidence risks jumping to conclusions. Consider why prosecutors might drop charges (e.g., weak evidence) before assuming political motives.

Follow the Process: The trial isn’t over. Combs still faces serious charges, and the jury’s verdict will depend on testimony and evidence, not dropped allegations. Stay informed as the case unfolds.

Cases like Diddy’s test our faith in justice. When charges are dropped, it’s natural to wonder if someone pulled strings. But assuming a secret deal without proof can distract from real issues, like the allegations of coercion and violence still at the trial’s core. For college students, this is a chance to dig deeper—read court updates, question bold claims, and demand fairness in how laws are applied, whether the defendant is a music icon or an everyday person.

The flag we honor stands for equal justice. As Combs’ trial heads to its conclusion, the truth will come from evidence, not rumors.
