The Puffy-partisan courtroom exhaled a collective sigh of relief, Johnnie Cochran hugged his second most famous client, and Puffy's mother JANICE, who had brought him brown-bag lunches throughout the seven-week trial, thanked the Lord.

"It's bittersweet," Combs said of the verdict. "My heart goes out to everybody who was hurt by this...
