0:00:04.840 --> 0:00:06.280
<v Speaker 1>and everybody.

<v Speaker 2>You know, if you don't lie about that. Right, Hey, y'all,

0:00:10.119 --> 0:00:10.559
<v Speaker 2>what's up.

0:00:10.600 --> 0:00:13.680
<v Speaker 1>It's Laura l Rosa and this is the latest with

0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:16.439
<v Speaker 1>Laura de Rosa. This is your daily dig on all

0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:20.360
<v Speaker 1>things pop culture, entertainment, news and all of the conversations

0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:25.160
<v Speaker 1>that shake the room. Now, you guys know, I am

0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:28.000
<v Speaker 1>so big on bringing you what is happening, but bringing

0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:30.360
<v Speaker 1>you what is happening in real time is one of

0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:34.800
<v Speaker 1>my most favorite things. So it is Friday, September twenty sixth.

0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:37.280
<v Speaker 2>And it is later in the evening.

0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:40.480
<v Speaker 1>We have been waiting, like literally, we've been on a

0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:43.519
<v Speaker 1>Diddy trial watch all day. And when I say we,

0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:46.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean me and the other journalists, but also his attorneys.

0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:50.440
<v Speaker 1>I've been checking in, you know, with my other journalist friends.

0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:53.640
<v Speaker 1>We have a group chat that we created, like a

0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:55.320
<v Speaker 1>lot of the other journalists that were covering the case

0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:57.720
<v Speaker 1>from the time that we were in court, you know,

0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:00.600
<v Speaker 1>where we just like share information and links and updates

0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:03.520
<v Speaker 1>and you know, just different things. And a lot of

0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:06.680
<v Speaker 1>us thought that the judge in Diddy's case would have

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:09.320
<v Speaker 1>decided on whether or not he was going to acquit

0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Diddy of some or all of the charges or give

0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:16.640
<v Speaker 1>him a retrial. We thought that the decision was going

0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:19.120
<v Speaker 1>to come down today. So you guys know, I was

0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:21.560
<v Speaker 1>in court in the episode prior to this one. If

0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:23.160
<v Speaker 1>you do not know that, if you have not heard

0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:25.120
<v Speaker 1>that episode, please go take a listen. I broke down

0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:28.720
<v Speaker 1>exactly what happened. But while in court, one of the

0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:31.640
<v Speaker 1>things that I felt like, at the end of the

0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:33.319
<v Speaker 1>court day, the.

0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:35.600
<v Speaker 2>Judge kind of gave himself away.

0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:38.760
<v Speaker 1>He said things like I'll see you guys next week,

0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:41.000
<v Speaker 1>or almost said it, and called himself like, you know,

0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:44.040
<v Speaker 1>small things like that, you know, and that's not verbatim,

0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:47.360
<v Speaker 1>so you want to state that that's not verbatim. But

0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:49.400
<v Speaker 1>there were small things like that that were that he

0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:52.240
<v Speaker 1>slipped up and called himself while he was dismissing in

0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:54.400
<v Speaker 1>a journey the courtroom.

0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:58.200
<v Speaker 2>That made me feel like his mind is made up.

0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:00.560
<v Speaker 1>He knows what he's going to do and what he's

0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:03.480
<v Speaker 1>not going to do, and you know, all of those things,

0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:05.720
<v Speaker 1>but he just has to you know, there's a process

0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:08.280
<v Speaker 1>that he has to go through legally because he wants

0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:10.359
<v Speaker 1>to be fair. So I thought by now we would

0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:12.760
<v Speaker 1>have an answer to all of those questions and all

0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:15.320
<v Speaker 1>the things that Diddy's team proposed, you know, in this

0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:18.200
<v Speaker 1>last trial before and it's one last time we were

0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 1>in court before we go to sentence in but no,

0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:21.480
<v Speaker 1>we haven't gotten it yet.

0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:22.400
<v Speaker 2>So we are still waiting.

0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:24.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, I've reached out to sources close to the

0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:28.400
<v Speaker 1>court who say everyone's still on a wait. This you know,

0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:31.960
<v Speaker 1>this time is where you know, the judge is analyzing everything,

0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:36.000
<v Speaker 1>he's reading everything, he's requesting things to be to be submitted,

0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:38.520
<v Speaker 1>additional information, all of the things.

0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:41.240
<v Speaker 2>But next Friday is the sentencing.

0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Unless Diddy is a quitted of all these charges, which

0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:48.040
<v Speaker 1>I do not predict, what happened next Friday is a

0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:50.919
<v Speaker 1>sentence and so we're gonna want to, you know, hear

0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:53.320
<v Speaker 1>something sooner, and we're gonna need to hear something soon.

0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:54.040
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:57.760
<v Speaker 1>I do want to say though, that whenever that drops,

0:02:58.120 --> 0:02:59.639
<v Speaker 1>and it won't be this weekend. At this point it

0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:03.600
<v Speaker 1>is after hours, courts are closed, it won't be this weekend.

0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:07.399
<v Speaker 1>But whenever that drops, it will be a big indicator

0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:11.840
<v Speaker 1>on what the sentencing energy will give. If a judge

0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:15.119
<v Speaker 1>feels like, you know, Diddy should not be facing two

0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:19.000
<v Speaker 1>counts of anything, and he, you know, lessens account or

0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:22.560
<v Speaker 1>lessens anything. We will know that sentencing is going to

0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:25.480
<v Speaker 1>rule in Diddy's favor. If a judge sticks with what

0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:27.960
<v Speaker 1>he has right now, it's kind of one of them.

0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:29.640
<v Speaker 1>It's a fifty to fifty coin toss. We walk in

0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:33.760
<v Speaker 1>and we kind of really don't know where we're going, right,

0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:37.040
<v Speaker 1>but we'll be able to tell something from this now.

0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:39.840
<v Speaker 2>I did an interview outside.

0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:42.480
<v Speaker 1>Of the courthouse where it was it was, and I

0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:45.680
<v Speaker 1>actually learned to kind of stop doing these.

0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:48.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean not stop. I would still do them when

0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:50.240
<v Speaker 2>we were at court.

0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:53.920
<v Speaker 1>But what I began to realize was my feelings would

0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:57.400
<v Speaker 1>change every single day the information changed that I kind

0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:59.440
<v Speaker 1>of wanted things to like sit with me, but I

0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:01.840
<v Speaker 1>would were my immediate reaction and then I would later

0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:03.920
<v Speaker 1>go and record my later reaction, and then I would

0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:07.080
<v Speaker 1>show you the thought progression, because I do believe that

0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:08.840
<v Speaker 1>that's what the drors are going through, and right now,

0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:11.120
<v Speaker 1>I believe that that's what the judge is going through.

0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:13.880
<v Speaker 1>He's analyzing information from so many different ways and so

0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:19.040
<v Speaker 1>many different people. Things change, thoughts, ideas, feelings change. Facts

0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:21.719
<v Speaker 1>don't change, though. That is the thing and that's what's

0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:23.839
<v Speaker 1>going to be tricky here, is how do we take

0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:27.080
<v Speaker 1>all of this into account and stick to the facts,

0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:29.000
<v Speaker 1>because a lot of people feel like, based on the facts,

0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:32.240
<v Speaker 1>we shouldn't even still be going back and forth about this,

0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:34.320
<v Speaker 1>that he shouldn't be in jail, he should.

0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:35.120
<v Speaker 2>Be home time served.

0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:39.359
<v Speaker 1>But I did an interview with lawyer for workers on Instagram.

0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:42.000
<v Speaker 1>For those of you guys who are not familiar, that

0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:45.600
<v Speaker 1>is an attorney named Moe who has become pretty popular

0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:49.400
<v Speaker 1>for covering these cases in real time. I mean everything

0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:52.440
<v Speaker 1>for Meg Da Stallion to Megda Sallion, Tory Lanez to

0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:55.880
<v Speaker 1>some of the biggest cases Takashi six nine and everything

0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:56.520
<v Speaker 1>that happened there.

0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:59.279
<v Speaker 2>I met him in court. That's been another thing about court.

0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:01.479
<v Speaker 1>I've met so much many other people who do what

0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:03.680
<v Speaker 1>I do that I've been following for some time. But

0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:05.839
<v Speaker 1>I met him in court and we were just having

0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:08.560
<v Speaker 1>a conversation dialogue afterward, which is also normal too.

0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:09.680
<v Speaker 2>We all normally do that.

0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:12.800
<v Speaker 1>And we decided to record a video in road time

0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:15.240
<v Speaker 1>and express our thoughts. So I want you guys to

0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:17.320
<v Speaker 1>take a listen to this, and I want to know

0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:18.000
<v Speaker 1>how y'all feel.

0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:20.120
<v Speaker 3>Diddy update I got a special guest with me.

0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:21.719
<v Speaker 2>Hey, y'all, l Rose here.

0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:25.320
<v Speaker 3>So today's hearing, defense is challenging the verdict, saying that

0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:28.839
<v Speaker 3>under the law, there just wasn't enough evidence presented for

0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:31.919
<v Speaker 3>a jury convictedy of the Man Act charge. Now, the

0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.120
<v Speaker 3>headline moment came at the end of the hearing. The

0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:36.600
<v Speaker 3>judge asked either side do you have anything else left

0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:40.719
<v Speaker 3>to say? And Diddy's lawyer, Alexandra Shapiro, who's very reserved, muted,

0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:43.480
<v Speaker 3>speaks in a judicial tone, doesn't just throw around words

0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:45.560
<v Speaker 3>like that. Well, at that moment, she didn't hold back,

0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:48.720
<v Speaker 3>and she said, this is an embarrassment to the United

0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:50.560
<v Speaker 3>States of America. Lauren, what did you think when you

0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:51.000
<v Speaker 3>heard that?

0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:52.960
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't for sure.

0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:55.960
<v Speaker 1>In the beginning, but now after some thought, I can't

0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:56.839
<v Speaker 1>disagree with her.

0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:00.839
<v Speaker 3>What's left in this case? Right? There's no sex trafficking,

0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:03.880
<v Speaker 3>there is no coercion, there is no fraud. The only

0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:08.760
<v Speaker 3>charge here is that three consumpting adults went to a

0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:11.480
<v Speaker 3>hotel and had a threesome or two of them had

0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:14.640
<v Speaker 3>sex and one watch. Why are we here? Is essentially

0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:17.080
<v Speaker 3>the defense's point. Laura, what were your other thoughts coming

0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:17.640
<v Speaker 3>out of today.

0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:19.800
<v Speaker 1>I think some of the thoughts coming at us a

0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:22.159
<v Speaker 1>day were the prosecution is going to have to do

0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:24.960
<v Speaker 1>a really good job of providing other cases that show

0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:28.320
<v Speaker 1>that because Diddy did not benefit financially.

0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:29.800
<v Speaker 2>He should be held in the way that.

0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:31.880
<v Speaker 1>He's being held and everything that they really have to

0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:33.680
<v Speaker 1>make this make sense at this point if they want

0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:34.920
<v Speaker 1>the sentence to stake that they want.

0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:40.760
<v Speaker 3>Look, the prosecution is continuing to bring out the same stuff.

0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:44.360
<v Speaker 3>After Shapiro Alexander Shapiro, Diddy's lawyer, gave her statement about

0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:47.560
<v Speaker 3>this as an embarrassment, prosecution came back and their point was,

0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:51.360
<v Speaker 3>but judge, he was hitting judge, he was kicking judge.

0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:54.440
<v Speaker 3>There was drugs. That's not what the Man Act is about.

0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:58.080
<v Speaker 3>The Man Act is about transportation to engage in prostitution.

0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:01.000
<v Speaker 3>The reason why I think Shapiro was saying it was

0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:04.120
<v Speaker 3>an embarrassment, the reason why folks around this courtroom are thinking,

0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:06.719
<v Speaker 3>what are we all doing here? Be consenting adults, go

0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:09.320
<v Speaker 3>have sex in a hotel. What are we doing here?

0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:11.400
<v Speaker 2>Get out there in the streets, and the tweets.

0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:15.640
