Sean Combs entered a federal courtroom on Wednesday morning.
He was wearing a yellow sweater and a white collared shirt.
It was around 9.45 a.m.
He then stood in front of his children and mother,
bowed his head, and led his family in prayer.
By 9.52 a.m.,
the jury sent a note to the court that it had reached a verdict in his criminal trial.
Style reporter Ann Branigan was there.
Combs appeared quite nervous.
You know, he kept turning to his family.
He raised his hands in prayer.
It was a very tense scene up until the verdict was read.
After 13 hours of deliberation,
the jury found Combs guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
That's a charge that carries a maximum sentence of 10 years.
But the jury found Combs not guilty of the more serious charges he faced,
sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy,
charges that could have carried a life sentence.
This is a huge victory for Combs.
To go up against the federal government in this way and to beat the most serious charges,
