Earlier this morning via the 30 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: Breakfast Club, I reported this. 31 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 2: So before we. 32 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 1: Get into our next story, I do want to say 33 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,960 Speaker 1: it is seven fifty four am Eastern Standard time here 34 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: in New York and there are reports circulating that charges 35 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 1: have been dropped against Sean Diddy Combs. That is one 36 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: hundred percent false. At this time, no charges have been dropped. 37 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: I just want to clear that up because those those 38 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: reports are starting to circulate and I literally just made 39 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: a phone called a confirm that it is not correct. 40 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: Now adding more context and clarity to what I reported 41 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: this morning, because after this report, there were additional reports 42 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: that said the complete opposite, that the charges were officially 43 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: dropped and things of that nature. On the official PACER records, 44 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: there are two documents that were entered last night, and 45 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,959 Speaker 1: these documents, the government was having a conversation about how 46 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: they plan to basically approach the rest of the ending 47 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: of the trial because after presenting their full case. They're 48 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: looking around and they're saying, okay, let's just cut our losses, 49 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: Like whatever is not going to stick best, whatever is 50 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: not strongest, that's not what we're focusing on right now. 51 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: If you've been listening to the podcast, if you've been 52 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 1: watching my content, whether it's here wherever you're hearing this 53 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 1: or seeing this, or it's over on the Breakfast Club, 54 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 1: I appreciate all of it. But if you've been keeping up, 55 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 1: you know that I had a conversation with you guys 56 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 1: about Diddy's attorneys deciding to act for a dismissal in court. 57 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: They said, look, if you're not going to drop the 58 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: case entirely, here are certain things that we think that 59 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: require more attention because these things should not be presented 60 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: in front of a jury to have a conversation on, 61 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: because the government simply did not do what they needed 62 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: to do to prove be on a shadow of a 63 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: doubt that these things happen, and that is the government's 64 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: burden in this federal case that they've brought forth right, 65 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: and they're having a conversation, they're going through the kidnapping 66 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: that was one of the things they're going through. They 67 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: bring up the arson, they're going through, the forced labor, 68 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:23,959 Speaker 1: they're going through. Like they break it down, some of 69 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: the things that we're talking about here are not charges. 70 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 2: These are like. 71 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: Elements that make up the charge, right, so these are 72 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 1: like your plus ones to the party, but they're not 73 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: the main invite. For instance, arsin and kidnapping, these make 74 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: up the bigger charge. So they're talking about all these 75 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: things and they're like, look, if we're going to have 76 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: this conversation with the jury, and we're being fair, these 77 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: things were not proven. So we're asking that these things 78 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: not be allowed, that these things be taken away, these 79 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: things be dismissed. The government later that night posted this letter, 80 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: and I'm going to read from one of the letters. 81 00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: They're judge the government respectfully rights regarding it's requested adits 82 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: to the Court's. 83 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 2: Proposed jury instructions. 84 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: Now, I was in court today for the battle because 85 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: baby it was given Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion in 86 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: there today when it came to jury instructions, and we 87 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: want to talk about that. But so they're basically saying, look, 88 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: before we sit down and even have a conversation about 89 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: what jury instruction looks like, we want to let you 90 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: know where we think we're going with this angle wise, 91 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 1: and when we enter in some of our objections and 92 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: our conversations, we want you to know why. So, they say, 93 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: the government understands the court's desire for streamlined instructions. The 94 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: government has suggested ways to streamline those instructions. Specifically, the 95 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: government has removed instructions from the charge relating to number 96 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 1: one attempted kidnapping under both California and New York law, 97 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: number two attempted arson under California law, and number three 98 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: aiding and abetting sex trafficking. The government is no longer 99 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 1: planning to proceed on these theories. The government is no 100 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: longer planning to proceed on these theories. The government is 101 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: no longer planning. 102 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 2: To perceive on these theories. 103 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 1: I said that three times because it is very important 104 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: for where we're about. 105 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 2: To go with explaining why. 106 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: When I say no charges were dropped against Seawan Ditty Combs, 107 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,239 Speaker 1: that is fact and not fiction. The government has also 108 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: attempted to simplify the language relating to Count one, a proposal, 109 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: as explained in the government's comment bubbles, that the government 110 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,479 Speaker 1: hopes not only serves the purpose of streamlining the instructions, 111 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: but also will avoid any confusion as to the operative 112 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 1: agreement for count one. Now, listen, what the government is 113 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 1: saying here is like, look, we know these up here 114 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:41,359 Speaker 1: are the charges, right, and within us having these charges, 115 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: here are certain things that we say happen to prove 116 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: that all of this went down. Right, So think about 117 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: it like this, Like when it comes to a rico, 118 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: there are multiple things that are alleged to make up 119 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 1: the actual RICO charge. 120 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 2: Right. 121 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: So for Diddy, you have the government alleging that he 122 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 1: kidnapped people. You have the government alleging that he committed arson, 123 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: you have the government alleging that he committed bribery, all 124 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: of these things. Now, after presenting their full case, the 125 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: government is saying, listen, judge, we know that our arguments 126 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: aren't the strongest when it comes to these these are theories, right, 127 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: Because Diddy's team yesterday talked about the fact that the 128 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: government leaned a lot of their charges on things that 129 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 1: could be inferred like these big ideas, these big thoughts. 130 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: That's what we talked about on the last episode of 131 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 1: The Latest with Lona Rosa. 132 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 2: Right. 133 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 1: So now the government is saying that we are confident 134 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: that this charge is a thing, because here's all the 135 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: here's the theory, here's the narrative, here's what You mix 136 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: this in applot, you stir it on up, and you 137 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,559 Speaker 1: have Deanentre. Right after presenting their case, the government is like, look, 138 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: they don't say we're not the strongest here. They say 139 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: they want a streamline, like, let's focus on what we 140 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 1: know won't confuse the jury. We want to make it 141 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: very clear, very simple. We want the instructions to lean 142 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: in on that heavily. We want them to understand, here's 143 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: exactly what we're alleging. Here's exactly the evidence that support 144 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: that theory, that make it something that you know allegedly 145 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: actually happened, so that you're you're able to make your decision. 146 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean that the charge that all those 147 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: theories equal up to has been dropped. Now, could that happen? 148 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: Because that is what Diddy's team asked for. It could happen. 149 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: Has it happened? 150 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 2: No? 151 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: And the reason even this morning when I when I 152 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: did this, when I mentioned this, I time stamped it 153 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: because if you guys haven't noticed, like everything with court 154 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: has been moving like even today. So today was a 155 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: charging conference. In the charging conference, the jury is not there. 156 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: It's the day off for the jury. But you have 157 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: both sides. You have the prosecution and you have the defense, 158 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: and you have the attorneys going through what the actual 159 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: instruction will be given to like that is given to 160 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: the jury for every single count. It has to be 161 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: something that doesn't make you feel like the government is 162 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: telling you something was true or false. And it can't 163 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: be something that makes you feel like the defense is 164 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: telling you something it's true or false either. But it 165 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: can be something that like clarifies when it comes to 166 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: this specific allegation. They talked about are Kelly's case a 167 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: lot today, especially because they were trying to figure out 168 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: how the wording around the sex trafficking conversation would be. 169 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: Diddy's attorneys at a really, really good job today in court. 170 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: I will say that it's not a slam dunk either 171 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: way in my opinion. So I felt like when they 172 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,439 Speaker 1: rested their case so fast, I was like, wait, did 173 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: I miss something? Why aren't they going harder? Like why 174 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: aren't they like, I don't know, just something I expected something. 175 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 1: Each attorney has like their things, so like Attorney Shapiro 176 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: she's the one who presented the acquittal. You have Teeny Garrigos, 177 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: who is a beast when it comes to evidence. You 178 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: have Mark Agnofilio, who kind of is like the glue 179 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,719 Speaker 1: between them all. He's like one of the lead attorneys. 180 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: You have Brian Steele who goes crazy on cross examination. 181 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: Nicole Wes Morland as well goes crazy on cross examination. 182 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: You have Attorney Donaldson, who they've also used a ton 183 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: on cross examination as well. And they're in there and 184 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: they're having a conversation about the sexual acts, right. The 185 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: government was trying to argue and again this is them 186 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: trying to frame it where if they feel like they're 187 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,839 Speaker 1: not strong on something, they're saying, hey, it's all about 188 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: the wording and how the jury is instructed to think 189 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 1: about this, which will in the end of this equal. 190 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:30,319 Speaker 2: A certain result. 191 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: So the government was asking for in the jury instruction 192 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 1: for it to be clarified that forced labor could be 193 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: sex right, and did They's attorneys are. 194 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 2: Like no, Like what no? 195 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 1: And they're like this makes no sense because the government 196 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: is like, well, I know, did They's attorneys tried to 197 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: make it seem like forced labor. It's like you know, 198 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: you're it's almost like an enslavement of sorts or you know, 199 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: you have no other t choice and things of this nature, 200 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: and it's not the physical act of sex. But then 201 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: the government brought in R. Kelly and one of R. 202 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:09,319 Speaker 2: Kelly, the R. 203 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,079 Speaker 1: Kelly case as a landmark case that they refer to, 204 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 1: and they're like, and the judges like, okay, was this 205 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:16,719 Speaker 1: used this way in R. 206 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 2: Kelly's case. 207 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 1: So the judge is like, no, I'm denying this because 208 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: the judge is saying, if we give the joy this instruction, 209 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: it makes them think that all sex is forced labor, 210 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: which isn't fair because technically it depends on the facts 211 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 1: of the case when you're having these conversations, right, So 212 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: that was a win for Ditty's team, But there were 213 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: other times where the judge denied things that Diddy's team 214 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: was asking for it, and it was a win for the prosecution. 215 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: But there was a big conversation around the sex trafficking 216 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: and when I tell you, Diddy's lawyer, Attorney Shapiro, she 217 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: was not backing down it. There was a young attorney 218 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,679 Speaker 1: that was like kind of like assisting her. Oh my god. 219 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,079 Speaker 1: They were eating it up. Okay, the back and forth 220 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: between attorneys is so easy because everything is based off 221 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: fact in case and they just be spitting spit and 222 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: spit and spitting. So the conversation around sex acts commercial 223 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: sex acts, what Diddy's team was making a point to 224 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: try and say was was like, look, when this case 225 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 1: was first presented, from the minute day that the government 226 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: did their opening statements, they've been presenting this sex trafficking 227 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: charge in these sexual commercial acts as completed acts, right, like, as. 228 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 2: They actually had sex. 229 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:35,319 Speaker 1: Or had sexual interaction of some sort and they were 230 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: paid for it. 231 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 2: Right. 232 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: But Diddy's team is like, but now in the jury instruction, 233 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: they're trying to take a step back and say sexual 234 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: commercial commercial sexual acts do not have the actually mean 235 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: actually mean a completed act. And Diddy's attorney was like, 236 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: that is not fair. We've spent weeks in this courtroom 237 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: with this case being presented this way. She read some 238 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 1: of the opening statements to the judge which mentioned that 239 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: she talked about the night at the Intercontinental. They talked 240 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: about several different times when the government has presented these 241 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: commercial sexual acts as being defined as actual sexual intercourse 242 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: or sexual interaction complete it like a completed sexual act 243 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: of some sort. The wording that the government wants and 244 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: the jury instruction is is they want the jurors to 245 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: be instructed by the judge to understand that a sexual 246 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: act doesn't have to mean that it was completed. So 247 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: you didn't have to actually have sex, you didn't have 248 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 1: to actually do anything oral or finish either one of 249 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: them for this to be considered a commercial sexual act. 250 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 2: And the defense was not going. 251 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 1: Baby Diddy's attorneys immediately shot up and were like, that's 252 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: not true. The whole time they've been talking about that night, 253 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 1: they talked about it as if a freak off. 254 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 2: This was a freak off. The judge is like, I. 255 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,679 Speaker 1: Don't think that the government ever tried to imply one 256 00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: way or the other that you know, uh, sexual a 257 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 1: commercial sexual act should not be talked about as something 258 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: that's only completed. Right, And there again did't seem a 259 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: specially back there, like that's not true, that's not true. 260 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 2: That's not true, that's not true. So then did these 261 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 2: team stands up. 262 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: This is one of the younger attorneys, and he says, look, 263 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: if we're going to have a conversation about this, the 264 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: real issue here is whether it's con consensual or not. 265 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:27,079 Speaker 2: We're arguing. 266 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: We're arguing, and we can send you some cases, we 267 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,839 Speaker 1: can send you some actual transcript from what has been 268 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 1: actually said in this courtroom by the government. In the meantime, 269 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: we also have to look at the fact that, like 270 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:43,359 Speaker 1: all of this is a conversation too about something being consensual, 271 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: and the way that this is worded right now in 272 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: the jury instruction, even if things are consensual in the beginning, 273 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: they can start off consensual and then. 274 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 2: End up not. 275 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 1: And they're like, even if you want to talk about that, okay, fair, 276 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:56,839 Speaker 1: And we're talking due process here. 277 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 2: We're talking due process. 278 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: When it comes to the commercial sexual and we're talking 279 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: due process when it comes to the wording around the 280 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 1: sexual acts too, when it comes to us talking about 281 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 1: consensual and not consensual. And what I'm watching the prosecution 282 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: do is, you know, they covering all their bases, They 283 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: got in their eyes and crossing their te's and the 284 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,439 Speaker 1: defense was arguing that even on the conversation about the 285 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: commercial sexual acts, the government is from what Diddy's team 286 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: is alleging and how they're feeling, It's like, okay, y'all 287 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: sitting over there and y'all cheers across from us. Judge 288 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: in the middle like Andy Cohen and y'all are trying 289 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: to make sure that no matter what, y'all get a 290 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: home run. You cannot make this so vague where everything counts. 291 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: It just can't go that way. So let's narrow this down. 292 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: Let's really define what this means. Because if we define 293 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: with this means based off what you guys have been talking. 294 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 2: About, you haven't proven that. 295 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: You haven't been able to prove that these certain things 296 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: have happened. And that's why y'all are backing like backing away. 297 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 2: Again. That backing away. 298 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: The prosecutors and their letter said, hey, look, we want 299 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: to streamline. Basically, we want your ay to focus, okay, 300 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: focus on this right over here because it's over here, Uh, 301 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: we ain't too sure about. 302 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 2: And that is what that letter was. That is what 303 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 2: the dropping was. 304 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: It was the dropping or backing away from certain theories 305 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: that were used to make up a crime. We gonna 306 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: lean on what we're gonna lean on first, which is honestly, 307 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: like to be completely honest with you guys, most of 308 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: the time when you do something like this, like a 309 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: rico like this or just charges In general, most prosecutors' 310 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: offices want to really take their time before indictments come 311 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: down or charges drop because they. 312 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 2: Don't want to get in front of a jury or. 313 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: A judge and can't really provide hard, tangible, concrete evidence 314 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: that these things are happening and. 315 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 2: Not just big theories. So I don't know. I was 316 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 2: confused about that. 317 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: But the whole time I've been confused, and I'm wondering 318 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: if it's because the actual prosecutor who charged or who indicted, 319 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: did he that changed when the trial actually started. 320 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 2: I don't know what it's been. I wouldn't. I don't know. 321 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: I'm very interested to see if anything is acquitted whatsoever. 322 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: I don't think that Diddy is going to walk scott 323 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 1: free from this. There will be some charges that he 324 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: will not walk away from, and that he will whatever 325 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: that consequence may be. He will have to do whatever 326 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: that consequence is. I don't think that he's going one 327 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 1: hundred percent walk Scott free. What that looks like, we 328 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: will honestly find out within the next week. They did 329 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: not directly address at all. What will be dropped won't 330 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 1: be dropped? Is the acquittal happening, dismissal of this. They 331 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 1: didn't get to that at all today. But to clarify, 332 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 1: there have been no charges dropped against Sean Diddy Combe 333 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: as of June twenty fifth, twenty twenty five, at nine 334 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 1: or five pm from my last update. At the end 335 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: of the day, there's always a lot to talk about, 336 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: and I know we've been talking about a lot of Diddy. Okay, 337 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: we've been going and we've been really going into depth 338 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: on Sean Diddy Comb's. Diddy has been in our homes, 339 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: on our TVs, on our radios, our phones, all of 340 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: that for a very very long time. So I think 341 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 1: that's why, you know, people are so invested in this 342 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 1: and I get it.
