Speaker 1: I felt obliged to begin with the latest on Showing
Speaker 1: Diddy Combs, currently sitting in jail awaiting trial on federal
Speaker 1: sex trafficking and racketeering charges. P. Diddy Combs and his
Speaker 1: legal team scored a victory yesterday when the judge overseeing
Speaker 1: the case said prosecutors are not allowed to use jail
Speaker 1: house notes taking during the raid of his cell, Comebs
Speaker 1: reportedly had nineteen pages of handwritten notes for his team,
Speaker 1: and the judge ruled those notes are subject to attorney
Speaker 1: client privilege. Combs' legal teams scored another legal victory yesterday
Speaker 1: when the judge ruled the music mogul can appear in
Speaker 1: court without shackles around his legs. By the way, Combs
Speaker 1: is another bail hearing set for this Friday. I think
Speaker 1: when we see something like that, ladies and gentlemen, it
Speaker 1: just gives us an indication that you can't rule anything out.
Speaker 1: He's showing P Diddy Combes. He's worth over half a
Speaker 1: billion dollars. Obviously, he can afford the best lawyers, The
Speaker 1: best legal minds available are available to him. And when
Speaker 1: you look at something like this, all be it minute.
Speaker 1: In the eyes of some he's still in jail. Okay,
Speaker 1: doesn't appear to be getting out before April or May
Speaker 1: something along those lines. And when you see something like this,
Speaker 1: you're like, what's the big deal? So what he won
Speaker 1: the case? Well, take this into consideration. If you have
Speaker 1: law enforcement officials and prosecutors raiding your jail cell to
Speaker 1: take your private notes because they believe, somehow, some way
Speaker 1: you're making a concerted effort to influence potential witnesses against you,
Speaker 1: all right, and the judge rules that non admissible and
Speaker 1: they're not able to use that kind of stuff against you.
Speaker 1: That's very, very beneficial. Everybody else has to show up
Speaker 1: in court essentially with shackles on, but he doesn't. Now,
Speaker 1: some people will sit up there and say, Okay, again,
Speaker 1: that's not a big, big victory. But image and perception
Speaker 1: does matter even in the court of lord. Why because
Speaker 1: this jurors involved, and when you roll up in there
Speaker 1: looking like a prisoner, that hurts. He still want. Perception
Speaker 1: doesn't escape reality, but sometimes in the minds of a few,
Speaker 1: it potentially can. And every time you hear something about
Speaker 1: p Diddy or right, and you hear about his denials
Speaker 1: and then you see him win one little victory after another.
Speaker 1: It does beg the question how much winning is he
Speaker 1: literally capable of doing against the Southern District of New
Speaker 1: York and beyond in terms of the cases that are
Speaker 1: being levied against him. I'm looking at stuff like this
Speaker 1: and I'm watching it with a fine tooth comb because
Speaker 1: i want to see how many small victories is he
Speaker 1: going to accumulate in an effort to ultimately get himself
Speaker 1: out of jail. Yes, he's in prison right now. He's
Speaker 1: in jail right now, Okay, right there in Brooklyn, New York.
Speaker 1: He doesn't appear to be getting out anytime soon. There
Speaker 1: is going to be a trial that's taking place this spring.
Speaker 1: We know all of that. But anytime you've got situations
Speaker 1: where ever is considered non admissible and the prosecution can't
Speaker 1: use it against you, that makes it harder for you
Speaker 1: to accumulate the level of evidence to get at him
Speaker 1: about We heard about the sex trafficking. We saw the video,
Speaker 1: the damning video where he was beating up his former girlfriend, Cassie.
Speaker 1: We saw all of that. But in the end, when
Speaker 1: he's sitting there, he talked everybody bringing up a thousand
Speaker 1: bottles of baby oil, and you know, video tapes of
Speaker 1: you know and and freak offs and all of this stuff.
Speaker 1: Keep in mind, Pete did he No one heard him
Speaker 1: say excuse me, I'm innocent. It never happened to the courts.
Speaker 1: What they're saying is that it was consensual amongst adults.
Speaker 1: And because of that, as his lawyer is intimated, when
Speaker 1: I was watching them on programs like News Nation or Cenna,
Speaker 1: what have you, what did you hear them say? You
Speaker 1: might find his behavior reprehensible, You might find it disgusting,
Speaker 1: you might find it a lot of things. The word
Speaker 1: we're concerned about is whether or not it was legal.
Speaker 1: And if it was legal, meaning consensual, non forced, then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it gives you a reason to
Speaker 1: believe this possibility he could get off. Now, I'm not
Speaker 1: casting dispersions or any kind of judgment on anything involving
Speaker 1: P Diddy outside of that video. That video, that's evidence.
Speaker 1: We all saw that, and there's a discussion to be
Speaker 1: had about the statute of limitation on such a violent
Speaker 1: act against another human being, particularly a defenseless woman who
Speaker 1: happened to be his girlfriend. That is non debatable. We
Speaker 1: saw what we saw. Everything else, everything else speculative they
Speaker 1: got their case, he'll have an opportunity to his defense
Speaker 1: lawyers to present his at which time we'll be able
Speaker 1: to judge. A lot of times we're sitting back, we're
Speaker 1: assuming because somebody's in jail, they're automatically guilty even before
Speaker 1: the trial took place. Did he is saying something else?
Speaker 1: He's saying hell no, he's not going out like that.
Speaker 1: He's not guilty. And when we see stuff like this happening,
Speaker 1: what other small victories will his defense team accumulate? That
Speaker 1: begs a legitimate question that I just asked. It is
Speaker 1: important to point out this is far from over and
Speaker 1: it's far from determined, no matter the tsunami of allegations
Speaker 1: and headlines that have rained down upon him. Just the thought, y'all,
Speaker 1: Just the thought.
