WEBVTT - Diddy is denied bond, but dodges the RICO charge

0:00:01.960 --> 0:00:04.160
<v Speaker 1>George. I'm a homegirl that knows a little bit about

0:00:04.200 --> 0:00:07.280
<v Speaker 1>everything and everybody. You don't know if you don't lie

0:00:07.280 --> 0:00:11.600
<v Speaker 1>about that, right Lauren, Hey, y'all, this is Laura la

0:00:11.640 --> 0:00:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Rosa for the Latest with Laura Rosa. I am here

0:00:14.080 --> 0:00:17.919
<v Speaker 1>on the scene at the courthouse following Diddy being denied

0:00:18.160 --> 0:00:21.680
<v Speaker 1>bond for now what a third time, but this time

0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:25.439
<v Speaker 1>being after the verdict has come down. So we talked

0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:28.520
<v Speaker 1>about earlier Diddy being found not guilty on three out

0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:32.479
<v Speaker 1>of five charges, the Rico charge specifically not sticking. He

0:00:32.560 --> 0:00:34.960
<v Speaker 1>was looking at up to life for that Rico conspiracy

0:00:35.000 --> 0:00:35.840
<v Speaker 1>and it did not stick.

0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:40.600
<v Speaker 2>He was convicted for engaging in transportation of individuals for prostitution,

0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:45.519
<v Speaker 2>two accounts of that. Now there's a conversation happening around

0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:48.640
<v Speaker 2>this bond being denied about you know this was this

0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:50.960
<v Speaker 2>fair or not. As we prepare to talk about that,

0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:52.760
<v Speaker 2>I want to take a look behind us, because what

0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:56.200
<v Speaker 2>you see are Diddy's children and Diddy's family are loading

0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:59.200
<v Speaker 2>into these sprinters. Now. When they left earlier from this

0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:02.120
<v Speaker 2>exact scene, the vibe was a bit different. You heard

0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:05.320
<v Speaker 2>people chancing free Diddy, you heard people cheering, You saw

0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:07.280
<v Speaker 2>them dancing I don't know if this will be the

0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:10.680
<v Speaker 2>same exact feeling when they are walking out this time,

0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:14.480
<v Speaker 2>only because the bond has just been denied. And obviously

0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:17.320
<v Speaker 2>that was a very emotional moment for his family who

0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:21.960
<v Speaker 2>thought that their dad, you know, their child's father, their friend,

0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:26.280
<v Speaker 2>their confidant may be coming home until his sentencing happened

0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:31.840
<v Speaker 2>in October. Now let's get on into it. So as

0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:34.800
<v Speaker 2>we came back up into court today, the judge went

0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:38.760
<v Speaker 2>right into it. The judge said, listen, I hear what

0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:41.480
<v Speaker 2>the defense is saying about him being allowed to be

0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:44.680
<v Speaker 2>able to go home until the sentencing happens. The sentencing

0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:48.120
<v Speaker 2>will be early October, right, And Diddy's team has actually

0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:51.440
<v Speaker 2>act for a speedy sentencing because the judge has just

0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:53.760
<v Speaker 2>heard and watched all of this information over the last

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:55.840
<v Speaker 2>eight weeks, and they're like, while it's fresh in your mind,

0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:59.280
<v Speaker 2>we want to make sure that the sentencing happens soon

0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:01.600
<v Speaker 2>because with their going is, they're gonna want a very

0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:04.120
<v Speaker 2>They're gonna want a sentencing that has some empathy in it.

0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:06.280
<v Speaker 2>They don't want the judge to lose that right. The

0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:08.200
<v Speaker 2>judge made it very clear from the rip that the

0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:10.760
<v Speaker 2>bomb was denied he went into the reasoning and he

0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:13.720
<v Speaker 2>talked about the fact that there was additional violence with

0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:18.080
<v Speaker 2>Jane Doe following the indictment, following the fact that Diddy

0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:20.960
<v Speaker 2>knew that he was under a microscope. They talked about

0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:23.600
<v Speaker 2>the fact that in all of the other cases, and

0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:27.840
<v Speaker 2>Diddy's team argued this in their response, like they argued, down,

0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:30.440
<v Speaker 2>I wish I had a recorder so that you guys

0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:33.840
<v Speaker 2>could hear how Diddy's attorney pled and begged for him

0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:37.360
<v Speaker 2>to be able to go home once the bomb was denied.

0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:40.360
<v Speaker 2>But the judge that, listen, we're really talking about any

0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:43.000
<v Speaker 2>previous case, law, right. They brought up a few other

0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:47.119
<v Speaker 2>cases where a number one you know, Diddy team kept saying,

0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:50.200
<v Speaker 2>this is very exceptional, right, because the circumstances are so

0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:53.360
<v Speaker 2>different here, right, And they said it's exceptional because in

0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:57.080
<v Speaker 2>previous cases pimps were involved. Diddy is not a pimps.

0:02:57.400 --> 0:02:59.240
<v Speaker 2>And they made a point that like the you know,

0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:01.160
<v Speaker 2>in this one per particular case, the pimp that was

0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:03.679
<v Speaker 2>involved made over one point four million dollars did he

0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:06.400
<v Speaker 2>did not make any money off of his acts. They

0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:08.640
<v Speaker 2>also brought up the fact that normally in cases like this,

0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:12.800
<v Speaker 2>there are businesses, business entities that make money off of

0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:15.600
<v Speaker 2>the actions that happen in a ring like this or

0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:19.480
<v Speaker 2>in whatever. This is his prostitution thing that the judge

0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:22.080
<v Speaker 2>and the jury believe that Didd he is guilty of.

0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:24.760
<v Speaker 2>And they made it very clear the only person being

0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:27.600
<v Speaker 2>charged for this and that will serve time for this

0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:31.000
<v Speaker 2>and as serving consequence for this. There's no business entity here.

0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:33.800
<v Speaker 2>It is just Sean Colmes. So they tried to pose

0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:37.080
<v Speaker 2>those two US arguments. Did these team? The judge listened

0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:39.760
<v Speaker 2>and heard them out. Did He's attorney probably went for

0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:42.640
<v Speaker 2>a good twenty thirty minutes. He talks about his kids

0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:45.760
<v Speaker 2>being in the stands and you know his kids, you

0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:49.480
<v Speaker 2>know some of their mothers not being here, talking about

0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:52.720
<v Speaker 2>Kimporter and you know the tragic death of Keimporter and

0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:55.520
<v Speaker 2>them needing their dad around, And even that emotional plea

0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:57.600
<v Speaker 2>it did not work. The judge brought it right back

0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:00.600
<v Speaker 2>around and said, let us not forget where we left

0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:04.640
<v Speaker 2>off before you started this pleat his bond has been denied.

0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:07.920
<v Speaker 2>We basically the court is saying they are afraid that

0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:10.760
<v Speaker 2>Diddy is a danger to the community because of the

0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:14.040
<v Speaker 2>Cassie video, because of his blatant disrespect for the law

0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:17.159
<v Speaker 2>and the court and the government, and his actions following

0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:20.480
<v Speaker 2>the indictment coming down, including his incident with Jane, including

0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:23.760
<v Speaker 2>everything they found in the hotel room when he was arrested.

0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:27.280
<v Speaker 2>After everything went down, They're like, listen, we can't trust it,

0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:31.080
<v Speaker 2>and we won't. We will not. The craziest part of

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:33.559
<v Speaker 2>this all is that the judge was able to cite

0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:38.880
<v Speaker 2>specific lines, specific lines from the defensive testimony where they

0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:42.680
<v Speaker 2>conceded to the violence, domestic violence, but violence that did

0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:46.200
<v Speaker 2>he did? I thought that that And even during that

0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:48.280
<v Speaker 2>I remember like the third line in did he looked

0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:50.719
<v Speaker 2>over his attorneys and there was one point where his

0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:52.560
<v Speaker 2>attorneys mentioned that did he wanted to speak to the

0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:56.279
<v Speaker 2>judge himself? And then Nicole Westmoreland, who is the black

0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:58.920
<v Speaker 2>woman attorney on did He's team got up and began

0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:01.480
<v Speaker 2>to go have a commerce with Diddy, and I'm assuming

0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:03.200
<v Speaker 2>she was kind of advising him on that if that

0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:05.640
<v Speaker 2>were to happen. It didn't happen. He didn't even get

0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:10.119
<v Speaker 2>the chance. The prosecutors stood ten toes down on we

0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:13.440
<v Speaker 2>will work with his team and the probation offices to

0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:16.280
<v Speaker 2>make sure that he gets a speedy sentencing because we

0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:19.680
<v Speaker 2>hear them, but it is a danger to the community

0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:22.200
<v Speaker 2>to release him, and the judge agreed Diddy will not

0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:25.279
<v Speaker 2>be released on bond. Tuesday, July eighth, there will be

0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:28.960
<v Speaker 2>a virtual hearing where they'll get on and discuss some

0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:32.160
<v Speaker 2>of the sentencing, just the logistics of everything and how

0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:35.000
<v Speaker 2>all that will work. But no, Diddy is not walking

0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:38.479
<v Speaker 2>free today. What's crazy about this? And just having conversations

0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:40.960
<v Speaker 2>outside of the courtroom one of the biggest things, because

0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:43.080
<v Speaker 2>I said it in my last video, I wouldn't have

0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:45.359
<v Speaker 2>been surprised if the judge had given Diddy a bond,

0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:48.640
<v Speaker 2>only because I felt like he had began to almost

0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:53.320
<v Speaker 2>be able to see the full scope of everything, like, yes,

0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:57.680
<v Speaker 2>these things happen. Yes he was caught right handed doing

0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:01.119
<v Speaker 2>some of these things. But the drug addiction come into play?

0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:05.720
<v Speaker 2>Did alcohol come into play? Bad decision making has been

0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:08.880
<v Speaker 2>in play from the very beginning, right, But I began

0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:11.080
<v Speaker 2>to weigh different things that the judge made wait because

0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:14.240
<v Speaker 2>obviously a jury weided they did not convict him on

0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:18.279
<v Speaker 2>some of the more serious charges, right the judge very

0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:21.200
<v Speaker 2>different story, very different story, And I'm not surprised that

0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:24.159
<v Speaker 2>it was denied. I've said in my earlier videos that

0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:27.680
<v Speaker 2>you also like this was brought up earlier. The violence

0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:30.320
<v Speaker 2>and the things that he did and his disregard for

0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:32.560
<v Speaker 2>the law were brought up earlier. That is literally the

0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:34.600
<v Speaker 2>reason and the judge ever brought this up the first

0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.520
<v Speaker 2>multiple times that did he was denied bond was because

0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:42.120
<v Speaker 2>of his violence that they saw on camera, and a

0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.120
<v Speaker 2>judge did not want to give him a chance to

0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:47.000
<v Speaker 2>endanger anybody else. So we will say lots. We will

0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:49.680
<v Speaker 2>stay here, we will stay on the case physically not here,

0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:51.760
<v Speaker 2>but y'all, I'm gonna keep yall updated with the latest

0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:55.240
<v Speaker 2>because that is what we do. Unfortunately, for his family,

0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:57.039
<v Speaker 2>they will not be celebrated on a holiday weekend with

0:06:57.080 --> 0:07:00.839
<v Speaker 2>their dad, with their grandpa, with their is he a granddad?

0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:03.760
<v Speaker 2>They ain't no granddad with their dad with their you know,

0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:06.760
<v Speaker 2>their their friend with their confidant. But you know, they

0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:09.279
<v Speaker 2>do still have sentencing to look forward to, and I

0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:11.720
<v Speaker 2>think Diddy's team made a really, really good argument about

0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:14.400
<v Speaker 2>making sure the sentencing happened fast while the judge has

0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:16.360
<v Speaker 2>all of these memories and test someone that's fresh in

0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:18.360
<v Speaker 2>his head, because what they're gonna want to hope to

0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:22.000
<v Speaker 2>is is that the sentencing is not harsh. So I'll

0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:23.880
<v Speaker 2>keep y'all updated. Make sure you guys check me out
