Sean 'Diddy' Combs trial updates: Bail denied due to 'propensity for violence'

As Sean Combs' mother, Janice Combs, left the courtroom, she told ABC News her heart was fluttering as the verdict was read.

Anthony Carlo reports from Lower Manhattan.

There were screams of joy from Combs' supporters when he was found not guilty of sex trafficking in connection with his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura.

Combs was notably happy when he was found not guilty of sex trafficking in connection with his ex-girlfriend who testified under the pseudonym "Jane," lifting his fist and tightly gripping the hand of his attorney, Teny Geragos.

When a prosecutor argued to the judge that Combs should stay in custody, Janice Combs wrapped her hand around her grandson Christian's neck.

When the judge said he thought Combs didn't want to return to the Metropolitan Detention Center, Combs comically shook his head no and put up prayer hands, prompting the gallery to break out in laughter.

United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York Jay Clayton and Special Agent in Charge of the New York Field Office of Homeland Security Investigations Ricky J. Patel said in a statement after the verdict, "Sex crimes deeply scar victims, and the disturbing reality is that sex crimes are all too present in many aspects of our society."

"Victims endure gut-wrenching physical and mental abuse, leading to lasting trauma. New Yorkers and all Americans want this scourge stopped and perpetrators brought to justice," they said.

"Prosecuting sex crimes requires brave victims to come forward and tell their harrowing stories," they said. "We and our law enforcement partners recognize the hardships victims endure and have prioritized a victim-centered approach to investigating and prosecuting these cases."

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."

The attorney for Cassie Ventura, Sean Combs' ex-girlfriend and a witness in the case, said in a statement, "Although the jury did not find Combs guilty of sex trafficking Cassie beyond a reasonable doubt, she paved the way for a jury to find him guilty of transportation to engage in prostitution."

"By coming forward with her experience, Cassie has left an indelible mark on both the entertainment industry and the fight for justice," attorney Douglas Wigdor said.

"We believe and support our client who showed exemplary courage throughout this trial. She displayed unquestionable strength and brought attention to the realities of powerful men in our orbit and the misconduct that has persisted for decades without repercussion," he said. "This case proved that change is long overdue, and we will continue to fight on behalf of survivors."

Wigdor said outside court that Ventura is "pleased that he's found guilty and held responsible to federal crimes, something that he's never been held responsible in his entire life. She's happy."

"I feel confident in saying he still faces substantial incarceration," Wigdor added.
