According to recent filings Diddy plans to argue that he was not in his right mind when the alleged crimes occurred...
From TMZ
Part of Diddy's defense involves his mental capacity to commit the crimes while he was, essentially, wasted -- he even has a doctor lined up to testify -- but the feds think it's a totally irrelevant point.
Prosecutors filed their opposition to this line of testimony, and in the docs they say Diddy wants to have the doctor -- who's a Columbia professor -- testify he had a "mental condition bearing on the issue of guilt."
So, what does that mean exactly?
Prosecutors filed their opposition to this line of testimony, and in the docs they say Diddy wants to have the doctor -- who's a Columbia professor -- testify he had a "mental condition bearing on the issue of guilt."
According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, prosecutors say legal precedent requires the defense to give proper notice before offering any "evidence of the effects of drugs and alcohol on a defendant's memory or cognitive function."
One other clue is prosecutors describing the doctor's potential testimony as evidence of the "defendant's inability to control [his] behavior."
What's interesting is the federal indictment accuses Diddy of drugging his victims into compliance during the "freak offs" -- but now it's a question of whether Diddy himself was in a haze during the alleged crimes.
Even if he was, prosecutors say the doctor's opinion on whether Diddy was "lucid" is irrelevant. In the docs, they point out the doctor's never personally examined Diddy, and his testimony would be based on his experience with other people.
Prosecutors also want to block testimony of a forensic video expert regarding the Cassie hotel beating video ... which the judge ruled will be admitted as evidence.
The judge has yet to rule on either matter, but the trial is just a week away.

So now he wants to be known as a “Crazy Freak “ got it.
Oh no, he better hope that doesnt go wrong and he ends up in a nut house for the rest of his life.
Don't nobody care. He can be nutty as a fruit cake and he's still going to be locked up for the rest of his life. I guess he wishes he was in Bali.
His new reality is wearing on him.
Prosecution wants to be allowed every advantage and block every defense opportunity. Remember, it’s not about guilt or innocence. It’s about what you can prove, Let the games begin.
Doing all the wacky things he was doing… it’s true he is CRAZY
