1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: On Tuesday, during Ditty's trial in New York, an unidentified

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: woman was removed from the courtroom for yelling at Ditty

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: while court was in session. According to reports, she stood

4
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: up and yelled, it's not an effing game, They're coming

5
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: for you, and accused observers of mocking Ditty and his

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 1: legacy as a black man. The judge had her removed

7
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: and she left peacefully. Since the incident, the woman released

8
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: a video obtained by various online sources. The woman stated

9
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: that everyone thinks this is a joke, and she doesn't

10
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: think it's funny. She said, nothing is funny about watching

11
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,639
Speaker 1: a black man's legacy being destroyed. The internet has been

12
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: in a tizzy over her video, with mixed emotions. Comments

13
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: range from praise for the woman to disgust over the

14
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,160
Speaker 1: woman defending Ditty.

15
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 2: What do you think to do well?

16
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 3: I mean, of course, it's hard to watch a person's

17
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 3: legacy being destroyed, But then it's also hard to watch

18
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 3: what you did to bring about the destruction.

19
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 4: I mean, you go two ways. You can't. He ain't

20
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 4: in there for no reason.

21
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,919
Speaker 3: See, we're sitting in this courtroom because of an action

22
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 3: that occurred. I mean, he he has so much regret

23
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 3: right now, Look throwing the freak office your business, that's

24
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 3: your business.

25
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 4: You can do what you want to do. But you did.

26
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 3: You didn't listen to the warning shot, and so then

27
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 3: you know, and then you had a chance to pay

28
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 3: Cassie if you had promised her, and you didn't. And

29
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 3: then when she filed that thing, your lawyers came out

30
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 3: and said, we vehemently will fight these charges. They are

31
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 3: so untrue. Our client is innocent of these. And then

32
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 3: her lawyers sent over a court or or a copy

33
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 3: of what they were going of what the finding said,

34
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 3: see a minute, It was just Cassie versus did it.

35
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 3: But then when they sent over the next morning they

36
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 3: sent over a copy of what they had they wrote

37
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 3: that check today.

38
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: She said on the in the courtroom, on the stand,

39
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: witness stand, it was twenty million dollars.

40
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 3: Oh we did that. Okay, let me send you this

41
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 3: check right here. I didn't know that what you was

42
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 3: gonna say then, right that that would have been okay.

43
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:18,839
Speaker 4: He would have let it go.

44
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 3: But then that video surface, Once that video surface, man,

45
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 3: that made now the state go, wait a minute, let

00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 4: Let me read this paperwork.

48
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 3: And then everything in that paperwork coincided with the timeline

49
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 3: and facts, and now let's go see what's really happening.

50
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 3: Did he fly in such working so they raided their house.

51
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 3: Now they got some computers and some emails. That's where

52
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,240
