"LOS ANGELES, July 2 (UPI) -- Sean "Diddy" Combs will not face a possible felony assault conviction stemming from a confrontation between the rapper and a UCLA football coach, the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office said Thursday.

However, the office said, it has turned over the case to the Los Angeles city attorney, ESPN reported Thursday.

The D.A.'s office typically handles the city's serious felony cases, while the city attorney investigates lesser affairs -- meaning Combs still might face a misdemeanor charge.

Combs, 45, was arrested June 22 after supposedly confronting a UCLA coach wielding a piece of weight room equipment, ESPN reported. Combs said he was defending himself and his son, who is a player on the Bruins football team. "

I wonder if the result would have been the same if you replaced Diddly Squat with your neighbor "Bob Doe."

money solves everything. I wonder how much he donated to the schools athletic program that week

Not surprised..

Sure. People get felony charges reduced every day.
The actual difference is that they arent celebrities so it doesnt make world news.

Some people are more equal than others.

FIFY
Combs is a guy with a pit bull mouth and a puppy dog ass. Why wasn't he getting knocked the fuck out?

Another coc violation vibrant, diverse fellow.

Meh, assault with a deadly weapon gets turned in misdemeanor assault all the time when the "deadly weapon" is something weird. Not excusing it--just saying it's pretty normal.
