Sean 'Diddy' Combs scored a huge courtroom victory after prosecutors decided to drop key parts of the charges against him.
In a letter to U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian prosecutors said they will no longer pursue theories presented during the blockbuster trial, including that the music mogul was involved in attempted arson and kidnapping.
The two alleged acts were initially included in the government's racketeering conspiracy charge against Combs. All charges against him still remain.
The charge still alleges that the 55-year-old was involved in transportation for purposes of prostitution, bribery, witness tampering and drug-related offenses.
'The Government is no longer planning to proceed on these theories of liability, so instructions are no longer necessary,' prosecutors wrote in the letter.
