Speaker 1: I'm a homegrowl that knows a little bit about everything
Speaker 1: and everybody.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you don't lie about that, right,
Speaker 2: Lauren came in. Hey, y'all, what's up. It's Lauren L.
Speaker 2: Rosa and this is the Latest with Lauren L. Rosa.
Speaker 2: This is your daily dig on all things pop.
Speaker 1: Culture, entertainment, news, exclusives, and the conversations that shake the room.
Speaker 1: We always start off with behind the scenes of the grind,
Speaker 1: checking and today if I'm checking in with you guys
Speaker 1: and letting y'all know how I feel. I am excited.
Speaker 1: I'm excited because number one, I just found out that
Speaker 1: we have the holiday July fourth holiday off of the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club, which means I will have a whole week
Speaker 1: of just podcasting with y'all. So I'm gonna get to
Speaker 1: do a lot more content. Normally, my days are so
Speaker 1: crazy because of court, because of Breakfast Club, and then
Speaker 1: you know, doing the podcast as well, that I don't
Speaker 1: get to do everything I want to do. So I
Speaker 1: have some surprises that will be happening that will pop
Speaker 1: up next week on the podcast that'll be really, really good.
Speaker 1: But I'm also excited because I just it's all just
Speaker 1: new stuff. I can't even talk about the project. But
Speaker 1: I'm also working on a new project with some friends
Speaker 1: and media, and uh, you know, in this next coming
Speaker 1: week or two, things are really really getting off the ground.
Speaker 1: I think it's such a blessing to be able to
Speaker 1: want to create things and one of the things in
Speaker 1: the world and actually been in a position to, you know,
Speaker 1: even if at a beginner level, or you know, a
Speaker 1: first timer level, not a beginner, you know, not a beginner,
Speaker 1: but a first timer level, be able to actually you know,
Speaker 1: pull together your coins and your funds and do it
Speaker 1: and do it on your own terms. So I've just
Speaker 1: been all morning just really excited about what's to come.
Speaker 1: And I said, it's not just excited, it's what's I'm
Speaker 1: excited about what is to come today. Now getting on
Speaker 1: into the latest, because this is the latest with Laura
Speaker 1: La Roads. Like you guys know that you know, Court
Speaker 1: has been courting and we have been this week. You know,
Speaker 1: your girl love to take y'all to court, lot to
Speaker 1: take y'all a court.
Speaker 2: One of the.
Speaker 1: Biggest things that I think most people are talking about
Speaker 1: right now with the Sean Combs trial is the fact
Speaker 1: that Diddy was actually able to speak out, I would
Speaker 1: say for the first time, but it was not the
Speaker 1: first time. He actually spoke previously in court where the
Speaker 1: judge had asked him, you know, if duror six it
Speaker 1: is not dismissed and continues throughout the case, hoping to
Speaker 1: waiving your rights to appeal based on that juror in
Speaker 1: any decisions made by that juror. And did he waved
Speaker 1: his hand and he said, yes, your honor, I waved
Speaker 1: my right. So that was officially the first time Diddy
Speaker 1: spoke out in court. But yesterday June twenty fourth, twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five, Diddy stood in court because they were having
Speaker 1: a conversation about what is about to happen for the
Speaker 1: you know, these final few days in the courtroom, and
Speaker 1: the judge had to ask Didty a series of questions
Speaker 1: about you know, you know, does he understand that he
Speaker 1: is giving up his you know, right to test if
Speaker 1: he says he doesn't want to, you know that he's
Speaker 1: asking Diddy questions about just his mind state, like, you know,
Speaker 1: are you under the influence of any drugs or alcohol?
Speaker 2: Is this your actual decision? Like a lot of people.
Speaker 1: Wanted him to get on the sand and I think
Speaker 1: a lot of people wanted him to get on the
Speaker 1: stand because there are people who feel like the government
Speaker 1: does not have a strong case that a lot of
Speaker 1: the things that were presented at base level, you know,
Speaker 1: when you look at the definition of a crime, potentially
Speaker 1: could roll to okay, there may be something here, But
Speaker 1: the way that this conversation and at this case and
Speaker 1: these charges were shaped. And when I say the way
Speaker 1: that they were shaped, I mean the conversation and the
Speaker 1: narrative that were placed around these charges when the indictment
Speaker 1: first dropped, there has been a very different case presented
Speaker 1: per se. Now, some people will argue on its face
Speaker 1: that you know, if you only have to prove certain
Speaker 1: things that has been done by the government others, because
Speaker 1: you don't have the big, huge, sensationalized like you know,
Speaker 1: he's moving crazy drugs and there's tons of busses of
Speaker 1: women being taken against their will, and you know, all
Speaker 1: these things that I think people thought they were going
Speaker 1: to hear, they don't even get.
Speaker 2: Down to the.
Speaker 1: Crevices of the conversation and of the definition of the
Speaker 1: crime and what the government actually has to do to
Speaker 1: prove these things. So they wanted Diddy to testify. We've
Speaker 1: talked about it here at the Breakfast Club, where throwing
Speaker 1: your mercy on the court and getting up there and
Speaker 1: you know, just taking accountability for what you can take
Speaker 1: accountability for with reasoning, right, because Diddy is saying I
Speaker 1: am not guilty on all charges, but taking accountability for
Speaker 1: things that won't hurt him legally and kind of humanizing himself.
Speaker 1: I think it's something that people wanted to see, but
Speaker 1: we are not going to see it.
Speaker 2: And I mentioned on the.
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club that these were reports that were out there
Speaker 1: that I had confirmed, because you don't ever know. All
Speaker 1: of this stuff is changing, right, So when I was
Speaker 1: on the Breakfast Club yesterday morning, I talked about the
Speaker 1: fact that Diddy was not going to testify, and that
Speaker 1: I'd been told that the theory that that was put
Speaker 1: out there around the reports that he would not testify,
Speaker 1: which is that the government has not proven their case
Speaker 1: according to Diddy's attorneys, is why he's making that choice.
Speaker 1: By the time I left Breakfast Club to the time
Speaker 1: I got into court, that could have changed. All of
Speaker 1: this stuff is moving today. Today is Wednesday, June twenty fifth,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. Today is going to be a charging
Speaker 1: conference in the courtroom, which is where they'll have conversations
Speaker 1: and figure out dury instruction, and you know what the
Speaker 1: direction around that is, and you.
Speaker 2: Know jury instruction.
Speaker 1: It's just like, here's the rules, here's the guidelines, here's
Speaker 1: what you guys are going to be. Like, here's basically
Speaker 1: your job description. While you guys are deliberating, that is
Speaker 1: what that will be. But what the biggest conversation is
Speaker 1: right now is where will we end up? Because yesterday
Speaker 1: in court, Diddy's team made it a big, big, big
Speaker 1: deal to have a conversation about the dismissal. Diddy's team
Speaker 1: they spent more time on asking for this case to
Speaker 1: be dismissed than they did on presenting a defense.
Speaker 2: What so ever.
Speaker 1: Now, for me, I was very surprised. I'm not surprised
Speaker 1: that they asked for the dismissal.
Speaker 2: They have been doing that.
Speaker 1: The difference though, in them asking this time was you know,
Speaker 1: not even just asking for the overall case to be dismissed,
Speaker 1: but saying, you know, if you're not gonna dismiss the
Speaker 1: overall case, at least within you know, these certain charges,
Speaker 1: we need to really sit back and have a conversation
Speaker 1: about was the burden of proof surpassed or not, because it.
Speaker 2: In our opinion, it wasn't.
Speaker 1: That was very different because before this it's just been like, hey,
Speaker 1: all this needs to be thrown out because of ABC
Speaker 1: and D Here they're like, okay, we do believe it
Speaker 1: all needs to be thrown out, but if not, let's
Speaker 1: at least take a deeper look and have a conversation
Speaker 1: about these things on the other side over here right
Speaker 1: court today is gonna be really interesting.
Speaker 2: Going into court yesterday, there.
Speaker 1: Was a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a
Speaker 1: lot of evidence that was on the stand. There was
Speaker 1: an HSI agent, Homeland Security investigator, Homeland Security Investigations, an
Speaker 1: agent from their offices was on the standing. He was
Speaker 1: a summary witness, and what he was doing was he
Speaker 1: was taking a look at, you know, various text converce,
Speaker 1: bank records, a ton of different things that the government
Speaker 1: was trying to use to again prove, you know, that
Speaker 1: this whole thing is the enterprise allegedly that there, you know,
Speaker 1: was the sex trafficking, allegedly just you know, people being
Speaker 1: taken across state lines, all of the things allegedly. Right
Speaker 1: when Diddy's team got up there to have a conversation
Speaker 1: with him. What they pointed out was they wanted to
Speaker 1: point out that, like there were these money transfers and
Speaker 1: the bank transfers of sorts, but how are you able
Speaker 1: to point that directly to who was paid for what?
Speaker 1: Because what they're trying to lean in on is like
Speaker 1: we've heard all of these inferences, right, like these big
Speaker 1: narratives and big notions, but nothing directly that points to Diddy,
Speaker 1: and in doing so, we can't pin him for a crime.
Speaker 1: So they're talking to the HSI agent and they're bringing
Speaker 1: up different payments from his bank accounts, different transfers from
Speaker 1: his bank accounts, and they're generalizing because the government spent
Speaker 1: a lot of time on like making things really direct. Okay,
Speaker 1: this payment or you know, alleging like you know, this
Speaker 1: escort was able to do ABC and D because Diddy
Speaker 1: allegedly was the person who wanted these things, who allegedly
Speaker 1: instructed people around him to make these things happen, and
Speaker 1: who allegedly funded it. Right, his team is back in
Speaker 1: the way, like, Okay, there are these payments, but these
Speaker 1: are going to various LLCs, and how do we know
Speaker 1: that any of this points directly to what you're saying.
Speaker 1: So that's how today set it off. And to be
Speaker 1: honest with y'all, you know, this wasn't the most exciting
Speaker 1: part of the trial. But when Diddy stood up and
Speaker 1: you know, had the conversation with the judge where he did,
Speaker 1: you know, think the judge and tell the judge that
Speaker 1: he was doing a good job, things did get interesting
Speaker 1: at that point.
Speaker 2: People were very interested because you know, here and Diddy
Speaker 2: speak in court.
Speaker 1: This is the longest that we've heard him speaking court,
Speaker 1: not the first time, but the longest he spoke. Of course,
Speaker 1: that's going to get the people going. One of the
Speaker 1: things that I think is important here is like temperament.
Speaker 1: Of course, when Diddy spoke in front of the court,
Speaker 1: the Jews were not in the room. They were actually
Speaker 1: on like a short lunch break. But you could tell
Speaker 1: in Diddy's temperament that it was very jumpy. It was
Speaker 1: very like and I'm assuming right the man is fighting
Speaker 1: for his life, that his nerves are a bit rattled.
Speaker 1: But you could tell that and hear that in his voice,
Speaker 1: that he was a bit rattled. I can't imagine what
Speaker 1: his family is feeling like today or yesterday. I mean
Speaker 1: any day honestly, but now that we are here at
Speaker 1: this point where today there will be a conversation on
Speaker 1: charges and what the jury is actually going to legally
Speaker 1: be able to look at when talking about what he
Speaker 1: will be charged with and how he will eventually be
Speaker 1: sentenced based.
Speaker 2: On the verdict they reach.
Speaker 1: Gotta be yo, I would be nervous on my mind,
Speaker 1: Like I would literally be nervous out of my mind
Speaker 1: if I were his family. So you know that's going
Speaker 1: to be pretty interesting to watch play out as well.
Speaker 2: I'm not for sure.
Speaker 1: I would assume because the family has been there every
Speaker 1: single day that his family will be there today as well,
Speaker 1: but this is kind of like a lot of I
Speaker 1: know I'd be there at all today, they will not.
Speaker 1: The jury will actually be back in court Thursday, June
Speaker 1: twenty sixth and Friday, June twenty seventh is when the
Speaker 1: jury will be back in court because that is when
Speaker 1: the closing arguments will happen between the prosecution and the defense.
Speaker 2: That is supposed to be from nine to.
Speaker 1: Five pm on Thursday and Friday, so I'll be bring
Speaker 1: you guys updates from there as well too, and then
Speaker 1: Monday as long as they use these two days that
Speaker 1: Thursday and Friday, to get through Monday the thirtieth, June
Speaker 1: thirty or twenty twenty five is when the jury deliberations
Speaker 1: will begin. Now, in the beginning of court, the judge
Speaker 1: put this on a timeline. To be honest with you, Now, again,
Speaker 1: everything is moving, every thing is changing, right, So the
Speaker 1: judge is saying, hey, I would love to get us
Speaker 1: out of here by July fourth, because who wants to
Speaker 1: be in here throughout after the holiday.
Speaker 2: But of course, if things.
Speaker 1: Are not where they need to be by you know,
Speaker 1: Thursday to third, because Friday is a holiday, we wouldn't
Speaker 1: be in court on July fourth.
Speaker 2: You won't have to give the jury more time.
Speaker 1: I to be honest with you, guys, it's like one
Speaker 1: day I have a prediction about what I think will happen,
Speaker 1: and the.
Speaker 2: Next day I don't.
Speaker 1: I've been saying from the beginning of this that I
Speaker 1: do believe that Diddy will do sometime, but I didn't
Speaker 1: think that all of the charges will stick. That's another
Speaker 1: conversation that's happening right now too, is like what is
Speaker 1: going to stick and what is not? So look as
Speaker 1: excited and adventurous as I'm feeling about everything else in life.
Speaker 2: This case has me on pens and needles, like I am.
Speaker 1: Like, it's like every every five minutes there's a different report,
Speaker 1: and this is happening, This is happening, This is happening. So,
Speaker 1: you know, being in court and being able to directly
Speaker 1: see and hear what is happening has been helpful. But
Speaker 1: even in court, everybody is on pens and needles, Like
Speaker 1: when I say, you could hear a pin drop when
Speaker 1: Ditty was speaking. After Diddy's team went through and they
Speaker 1: broke it down, they went count by count by count
Speaker 1: you know, they talked about the arts, and they talked
Speaker 1: about the kidnapping alleged, like all these allegations right, and
Speaker 1: broke down why they felt like the government did not
Speaker 1: do a good job improving that Diddy is guilty of
Speaker 1: any of this. After that happened, the you know, rightfully,
Speaker 1: so the judge is able to act the defense like, okay,
Speaker 1: do you guys have any response?
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: The judge is able to ask the government like do
Speaker 1: you guys have any response? And the government, they know,
Speaker 1: they say, look, we believe that we've presented a case.
Speaker 1: You know to the best of our ability, that proves
Speaker 1: you know what we are alleging and that it is
Speaker 1: sufficient to go before a jury.
Speaker 2: And they sat back down.
Speaker 1: I don't know, y'all, we needed some suspense music right here, like,
Speaker 1: I really don't.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Well, guys, this.
