He was only charged on a prostitution offense.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs was convicted of a prostitution-related offense but acquitted Wednesday of sex trafficking and racketeering charges that could have put one of hip-hop's most celebrated figures behind bars for life.

The mixed result came on the third day of deliberations. It could still send Combs, 55, to prison for as long as a decade, and is likely to end his career as a hitmaking music executive, fashion entrepreneur, brand ambassador and reality TV star.

I would have put money on the jury convicting him on at least a few of the greater charges.

Wild.

A few initial reactions:

The prostitution charge has a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison, though word on the street is Diddy will only get a few years of probation and no jail time.
