Speaker 1: I'm a homegrow that knows a little bit about everything
Speaker 1: and everybody.
Speaker 2: You know, if you don't lie about that. Right, Hey, y'all,
Speaker 2: what's up.
Speaker 1: It's Laura l Rosa and this is the latest with
Speaker 1: Laura de Rosa. This is your daily dig on all
Speaker 1: things pop culture, entertainment, news and all of the conversations
Speaker 1: that shake the room. Now, you guys know, I am
Speaker 1: so big on bringing you what is happening, but bringing
Speaker 1: you what is happening in real time is one of
Speaker 1: my most favorite things. So it is Friday, September twenty sixth.
Speaker 2: And it is later in the evening.
Speaker 1: We have been waiting, like literally, we've been on a
Speaker 1: Diddy trial watch all day. And when I say we,
Speaker 1: I mean me and the other journalists, but also his attorneys.
Speaker 1: I've been checking in, you know, with my other journalist friends.
Speaker 1: We have a group chat that we created, like a
Speaker 1: lot of the other journalists that were covering the case
Speaker 1: from the time that we were in court, you know,
Speaker 1: where we just like share information and links and updates
Speaker 1: and you know, just different things. And a lot of
Speaker 1: us thought that the judge in Diddy's case would have
Speaker 1: decided on whether or not he was going to acquit
Speaker 1: Diddy of some or all of the charges or give
Speaker 1: him a retrial. We thought that the decision was going
Speaker 1: to come down today. So you guys know, I was
Speaker 1: in court in the episode prior to this one. If
Speaker 1: you do not know that, if you have not heard
Speaker 1: that episode, please go take a listen. I broke down
Speaker 1: exactly what happened. But while in court, one of the
Speaker 1: things that I felt like, at the end of the
Speaker 1: court day, the.
Speaker 2: Judge kind of gave himself away.
Speaker 1: He said things like I'll see you guys next week,
Speaker 1: or almost said it, and called himself like, you know,
Speaker 1: small things like that, you know, and that's not verbatim,
Speaker 1: so you want to state that that's not verbatim. But
Speaker 1: there were small things like that that were that he
Speaker 1: slipped up and called himself while he was dismissing in
Speaker 1: a journey the courtroom.
Speaker 2: That made me feel like his mind is made up.
Speaker 1: He knows what he's going to do and what he's
Speaker 1: not going to do, and you know, all of those things,
Speaker 1: but he just has to you know, there's a process
Speaker 1: that he has to go through legally because he wants
Speaker 1: to be fair. So I thought by now we would
Speaker 1: have an answer to all of those questions and all
Speaker 1: the things that Diddy's team proposed, you know, in this
Speaker 1: last trial before and it's one last time we were
Speaker 1: in court before we go to sentence in but no,
Speaker 1: we haven't gotten it yet.
Speaker 2: So we are still waiting.
Speaker 1: You know, I've reached out to sources close to the
Speaker 1: court who say everyone's still on a wait. This you know,
Speaker 1: this time is where you know, the judge is analyzing everything,
Speaker 1: he's reading everything, he's requesting things to be to be submitted,
Speaker 1: additional information, all of the things.
Speaker 2: But next Friday is the sentencing.
Speaker 1: Unless Diddy is a quitted of all these charges, which
Speaker 1: I do not predict, what happened next Friday is a
Speaker 1: sentence and so we're gonna want to, you know, hear
Speaker 1: something sooner, and we're gonna need to hear something soon.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: I do want to say though, that whenever that drops,
Speaker 1: and it won't be this weekend. At this point it
Speaker 1: is after hours, courts are closed, it won't be this weekend.
Speaker 1: But whenever that drops, it will be a big indicator
Speaker 1: on what the sentencing energy will give. If a judge
Speaker 1: feels like, you know, Diddy should not be facing two
Speaker 1: counts of anything, and he, you know, lessens account or
Speaker 1: lessens anything. We will know that sentencing is going to
Speaker 1: rule in Diddy's favor. If a judge sticks with what
Speaker 1: he has right now, it's kind of one of them.
Speaker 1: It's a fifty to fifty coin toss. We walk in
Speaker 1: and we kind of really don't know where we're going, right,
Speaker 1: but we'll be able to tell something from this now.
Speaker 2: I did an interview outside.
Speaker 1: Of the courthouse where it was it was, and I
Speaker 1: actually learned to kind of stop doing these.
Speaker 2: I mean not stop. I would still do them when
Speaker 2: we were at court.
Speaker 1: But what I began to realize was my feelings would
Speaker 1: change every single day the information changed that I kind
Speaker 1: of wanted things to like sit with me, but I
Speaker 1: would were my immediate reaction and then I would later
Speaker 1: go and record my later reaction, and then I would
Speaker 1: show you the thought progression, because I do believe that
Speaker 1: that's what the drors are going through, and right now,
Speaker 1: I believe that that's what the judge is going through.
Speaker 1: He's analyzing information from so many different ways and so
Speaker 1: many different people. Things change, thoughts, ideas, feelings change. Facts
Speaker 1: don't change, though. That is the thing and that's what's
Speaker 1: going to be tricky here, is how do we take
Speaker 1: all of this into account and stick to the facts,
Speaker 1: because a lot of people feel like, based on the facts,
Speaker 1: we shouldn't even still be going back and forth about this,
Speaker 1: that he shouldn't be in jail, he should.
Speaker 2: Be home time served.
Speaker 1: But I did an interview with lawyer for workers on Instagram.
Speaker 1: For those of you guys who are not familiar, that
Speaker 1: is an attorney named Moe who has become pretty popular
Speaker 1: for covering these cases in real time. I mean everything
Speaker 1: for Meg Da Stallion to Megda Sallion, Tory Lanez to
Speaker 1: some of the biggest cases Takashi six nine and everything
Speaker 1: that happened there.
Speaker 2: I met him in court. That's been another thing about court.
Speaker 1: I've met so much many other people who do what
Speaker 1: I do that I've been following for some time. But
Speaker 1: I met him in court and we were just having
Speaker 1: a conversation dialogue afterward, which is also normal too.
Speaker 2: We all normally do that.
Speaker 1: And we decided to record a video in road time
Speaker 1: and express our thoughts. So I want you guys to
Speaker 1: take a listen to this, and I want to know
Speaker 1: how y'all feel.
Speaker 3: Diddy update I got a special guest with me.
Speaker 2: Hey, y'all, l Rose here.
Speaker 3: So today's hearing, defense is challenging the verdict, saying that
Speaker 3: under the law, there just wasn't enough evidence presented for
Speaker 3: a jury convictedy of the Man Act charge. Now, the
Speaker 3: headline moment came at the end of the hearing. The
Speaker 3: judge asked either side do you have anything else left
Speaker 3: to say? And Diddy's lawyer, Alexandra Shapiro, who's very reserved, muted,
Speaker 3: speaks in a judicial tone, doesn't just throw around words
Speaker 3: like that. Well, at that moment, she didn't hold back,
Speaker 3: and she said, this is an embarrassment to the United
Speaker 3: States of America. Lauren, what did you think when you
Speaker 3: heard that?
Speaker 2: I wasn't for sure.
Speaker 1: In the beginning, but now after some thought, I can't
Speaker 1: disagree with her.
Speaker 3: What's left in this case? Right? There's no sex trafficking,
Speaker 3: there is no coercion, there is no fraud. The only
Speaker 3: charge here is that three consumpting adults went to a
Speaker 3: hotel and had a threesome or two of them had
Speaker 3: sex and one watch. Why are we here? Is essentially
Speaker 3: the defense's point. Laura, what were your other thoughts coming
Speaker 3: out of today.
Speaker 1: I think some of the thoughts coming at us a
Speaker 1: day were the prosecution is going to have to do
Speaker 1: a really good job of providing other cases that show
Speaker 1: that because Diddy did not benefit financially.
Speaker 2: He should be held in the way that.
Speaker 1: He's being held and everything that they really have to
Speaker 1: make this make sense at this point if they want
Speaker 1: the sentence to stake that they want.
Speaker 3: Look, the prosecution is continuing to bring out the same stuff.
Speaker 3: After Shapiro Alexander Shapiro, Diddy's lawyer, gave her statement about
Speaker 3: this as an embarrassment, prosecution came back and their point was,
Speaker 3: but judge, he was hitting judge, he was kicking judge.
Speaker 3: There was drugs. That's not what the Man Act is about.
Speaker 3: The Man Act is about transportation to engage in prostitution.
Speaker 3: The reason why I think Shapiro was saying it was
Speaker 3: an embarrassment, the reason why folks around this courtroom are thinking,
Speaker 3: what are we all doing here? Be consenting adults, go
Speaker 3: have sex in a hotel. What are we doing here?
Speaker 2: Get out there in the streets, and the tweets.
Speaker 1: The dreats be outside, we outside, we outside outside. Every
Speaker 1: other page, let me know how you guys are feeling
Speaker 1: we're on We're on an acquittal watch, Diddy acquittal watch. Will
Speaker 1: those charges be thrown out?
Speaker 2: What do you think?
Speaker 1: I'm Laura le Roza l O R E N l
Speaker 1: O R O s A everywhere I want to hear
Speaker 1: from y'all.
Speaker 2: At the end of the day, there's always a lot
Speaker 2: to talk about.
Speaker 1: And whenever y'all are right here, whether I got you know,
Speaker 1: guests popping episodes, guests popping recordings in real time from
Speaker 1: outside of your courthouse or wherever I am, you guys
Speaker 1: choose to be right here.
Speaker 2: With me, and I appreciate you guys for that. I
Speaker 2: will see you in my next episode.
