<v Speaker 1>Now a quick behind the scenes of the grind checking.

0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:33.639
<v Speaker 1>I am tired, Okay, it is it's late. I got out.

0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:35.960
<v Speaker 1>We got out of court so late today. Court began

0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:38.880
<v Speaker 1>at two pm. It was late at least three times

0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:42.120
<v Speaker 1>a day I left court. The sun was going down

0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:43.559
<v Speaker 1>when I left court. That is the latest I have

0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:46.560
<v Speaker 1>ever left court since this trout started. And then came

0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:48.360
<v Speaker 1>right to film the podcast so I could get you

0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:50.960
<v Speaker 1>guys the info. So thank y'all for tuning on in.

0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:53.559
<v Speaker 1>I know it is am when you listen to this,

0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:56.520
<v Speaker 1>so listen forgive me if I'm giving girl, you've been

0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:59.040
<v Speaker 1>working all day energy because the girl has been going

0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:04.759
<v Speaker 1>since three already this morning. But hey, that's the grind,

0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:07.680
<v Speaker 1>that's how it go. So let's get on into the

0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:08.399
<v Speaker 1>latest now.

0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:10.440
<v Speaker 2>Because you knew your girl, I love to take y'all

0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:10.800
<v Speaker 2>a court.

0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:14.199
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so we are going to have a conversation about

0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:17.800
<v Speaker 1>what did or did not happen when it comes to

0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:23.280
<v Speaker 1>Ditty's charges, because no, there were no charges dropped against

0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:28.760
<v Speaker 1>Sean Diddy Combs today now. Earlier this morning via the

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:30.880
<v Speaker 1>Breakfast Club, I reported this.

0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:32.080
<v Speaker 2>So before we.

0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:33.680
<v Speaker 1>Get into our next story, I do want to say

0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:35.960
<v Speaker 1>it is seven fifty four am Eastern Standard time here

0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:38.560
<v Speaker 1>in New York and there are reports circulating that charges

0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:41.480
<v Speaker 1>have been dropped against Sean Diddy Combs. That is one

0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:44.640
<v Speaker 1>hundred percent false. At this time, no charges have been dropped.

0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:47.280
<v Speaker 1>I just want to clear that up because those those

0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:49.280
<v Speaker 1>reports are starting to circulate and I literally just made

0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:51.160
<v Speaker 1>a phone called a confirm that it is not correct.

0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:55.320
<v Speaker 1>Now adding more context and clarity to what I reported

0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:58.640
<v Speaker 1>this morning, because after this report, there were additional reports

0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:01.920
<v Speaker 1>that said the complete opposite, that the charges were officially

0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:05.280
<v Speaker 1>dropped and things of that nature. On the official PACER records,

0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:08.440
<v Speaker 1>there are two documents that were entered last night, and

0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:11.959
<v Speaker 1>these documents, the government was having a conversation about how

0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:17.320
<v Speaker 1>they plan to basically approach the rest of the ending

0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:20.960
<v Speaker 1>of the trial because after presenting their full case. They're

0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:24.480
<v Speaker 1>looking around and they're saying, okay, let's just cut our losses,

0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:28.280
<v Speaker 1>Like whatever is not going to stick best, whatever is

0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:32.760
<v Speaker 1>not strongest, that's not what we're focusing on right now.

0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:34.840
<v Speaker 1>If you've been listening to the podcast, if you've been

0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:38.080
<v Speaker 1>watching my content, whether it's here wherever you're hearing this

0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:41.360
<v Speaker 1>or seeing this, or it's over on the Breakfast Club,

0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:43.919
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate all of it. But if you've been keeping up,

0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:46.359
<v Speaker 1>you know that I had a conversation with you guys

0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:50.800
<v Speaker 1>about Diddy's attorneys deciding to act for a dismissal in court.

0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:53.680
<v Speaker 1>They said, look, if you're not going to drop the

0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:57.440
<v Speaker 1>case entirely, here are certain things that we think that

0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:01.240
<v Speaker 1>require more attention because these things should not be presented

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.440
<v Speaker 1>in front of a jury to have a conversation on,

0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:06.120
<v Speaker 1>because the government simply did not do what they needed

0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:08.480
<v Speaker 1>to do to prove be on a shadow of a

0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:10.560
<v Speaker 1>doubt that these things happen, and that is the government's

0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:13.400
<v Speaker 1>burden in this federal case that they've brought forth right,

0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:16.360
<v Speaker 1>and they're having a conversation, they're going through the kidnapping

0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:18.840
<v Speaker 1>that was one of the things they're going through. They

0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:21.880
<v Speaker 1>bring up the arson, they're going through, the forced labor,

0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:23.959
<v Speaker 1>they're going through. Like they break it down, some of

0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:26.160
<v Speaker 1>the things that we're talking about here are not charges.

0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:26.720
<v Speaker 2>These are like.

0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:29.480
<v Speaker 1>Elements that make up the charge, right, so these are

0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:32.360
<v Speaker 1>like your plus ones to the party, but they're not

0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:36.320
<v Speaker 1>the main invite. For instance, arsin and kidnapping, these make

0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:40.480
<v Speaker 1>up the bigger charge. So they're talking about all these

0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:41.840
<v Speaker 1>things and they're like, look, if we're going to have

0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.480
<v Speaker 1>this conversation with the jury, and we're being fair, these

0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:46.960
<v Speaker 1>things were not proven. So we're asking that these things

0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:49.600
<v Speaker 1>not be allowed, that these things be taken away, these

0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:53.480
<v Speaker 1>things be dismissed. The government later that night posted this letter,

0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:56.280
<v Speaker 1>and I'm going to read from one of the letters.

0:03:56.600 --> 0:04:01.000
<v Speaker 1>They're judge the government respectfully rights regarding it's requested adits

0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:01.840
<v Speaker 1>to the Court's.

0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:03.160
<v Speaker 2>Proposed jury instructions.

0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:07.200
<v Speaker 1>Now, I was in court today for the battle because

0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:10.400
<v Speaker 1>baby it was given Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion in

0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:12.480
<v Speaker 1>there today when it came to jury instructions, and we

0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.720
<v Speaker 1>want to talk about that. But so they're basically saying, look,

0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.400
<v Speaker 1>before we sit down and even have a conversation about

0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:21.000
<v Speaker 1>what jury instruction looks like, we want to let you

0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:23.800
<v Speaker 1>know where we think we're going with this angle wise,

0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:26.840
<v Speaker 1>and when we enter in some of our objections and

0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:30.400
<v Speaker 1>our conversations, we want you to know why. So, they say,

0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:34.680
<v Speaker 1>the government understands the court's desire for streamlined instructions. The

0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:38.640
<v Speaker 1>government has suggested ways to streamline those instructions. Specifically, the

0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:42.520
<v Speaker 1>government has removed instructions from the charge relating to number

0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:45.720
<v Speaker 1>one attempted kidnapping under both California and New York law,

0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:50.520
<v Speaker 1>number two attempted arson under California law, and number three

0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:54.080
<v Speaker 1>aiding and abetting sex trafficking. The government is no longer

0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:57.480
<v Speaker 1>planning to proceed on these theories. The government is no

0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:01.800
<v Speaker 1>longer planning to proceed on these theories. The government is

0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:03.440
<v Speaker 1>no longer planning.

0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:04.440
<v Speaker 2>To perceive on these theories.

0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:07.040
<v Speaker 1>I said that three times because it is very important

0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:08.000
<v Speaker 1>for where we're about.

0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:10.040
<v Speaker 2>To go with explaining why.

0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:13.200
<v Speaker 1>When I say no charges were dropped against Seawan Ditty Combs,

0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:17.239
<v Speaker 1>that is fact and not fiction. The government has also

0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:21.120
<v Speaker 1>attempted to simplify the language relating to Count one, a proposal,

0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:24.120
<v Speaker 1>as explained in the government's comment bubbles, that the government

0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:27.479
<v Speaker 1>hopes not only serves the purpose of streamlining the instructions,

0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:30.440
<v Speaker 1>but also will avoid any confusion as to the operative

0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:33.600
<v Speaker 1>agreement for count one. Now, listen, what the government is

0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:36.920
<v Speaker 1>saying here is like, look, we know these up here

0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:41.359
<v Speaker 1>are the charges, right, and within us having these charges,

0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:44.920
<v Speaker 1>here are certain things that we say happen to prove

0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:47.320
<v Speaker 1>that all of this went down. Right, So think about

0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:48.960
<v Speaker 1>it like this, Like when it comes to a rico,

0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:52.480
<v Speaker 1>there are multiple things that are alleged to make up

0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:54.480
<v Speaker 1>the actual RICO charge.

0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:54.800
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:58.080
<v Speaker 1>So for Diddy, you have the government alleging that he

0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:01.599
<v Speaker 1>kidnapped people. You have the government alleging that he committed arson,

0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:05.760
<v Speaker 1>you have the government alleging that he committed bribery, all

0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:09.560
<v Speaker 1>of these things. Now, after presenting their full case, the

0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:14.200
<v Speaker 1>government is saying, listen, judge, we know that our arguments

0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:18.520
<v Speaker 1>aren't the strongest when it comes to these these are theories, right,

0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Because Diddy's team yesterday talked about the fact that the

0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:25.680
<v Speaker 1>government leaned a lot of their charges on things that

0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:29.159
<v Speaker 1>could be inferred like these big ideas, these big thoughts.

0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:31.400
<v Speaker 1>That's what we talked about on the last episode of

0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:32.480
<v Speaker 1>The Latest with Lona Rosa.

0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:33.120
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:35.160
<v Speaker 1>So now the government is saying that we are confident

0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:37.960
<v Speaker 1>that this charge is a thing, because here's all the

0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:41.520
<v Speaker 1>here's the theory, here's the narrative, here's what You mix

0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:43.080
<v Speaker 1>this in applot, you stir it on up, and you

0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:47.559
<v Speaker 1>have Deanentre. Right after presenting their case, the government is like, look,

0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:50.680
<v Speaker 1>they don't say we're not the strongest here. They say

0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:53.880
<v Speaker 1>they want a streamline, like, let's focus on what we

0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:56.599
<v Speaker 1>know won't confuse the jury. We want to make it

0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:59.920
<v Speaker 1>very clear, very simple. We want the instructions to lean

0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.080
<v Speaker 1>in on that heavily. We want them to understand, here's

0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:06.880
<v Speaker 1>exactly what we're alleging. Here's exactly the evidence that support

0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:09.720
<v Speaker 1>that theory, that make it something that you know allegedly

0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:13.080
<v Speaker 1>actually happened, so that you're you're able to make your decision.

0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:17.040
<v Speaker 1>But that doesn't mean that the charge that all those

0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:21.400
<v Speaker 1>theories equal up to has been dropped. Now, could that happen?

0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:26.080
<v Speaker 1>Because that is what Diddy's team asked for. It could happen.

0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:27.720
<v Speaker 1>Has it happened?

0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:28.560
<v Speaker 2>No?

0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:31.760
<v Speaker 1>And the reason even this morning when I when I

0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:34.880
<v Speaker 1>did this, when I mentioned this, I time stamped it

0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:37.760
<v Speaker 1>because if you guys haven't noticed, like everything with court

0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:40.880
<v Speaker 1>has been moving like even today. So today was a

0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:44.400
<v Speaker 1>charging conference. In the charging conference, the jury is not there.

0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:46.200
<v Speaker 1>It's the day off for the jury. But you have

0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:49.080
<v Speaker 1>both sides. You have the prosecution and you have the defense,

0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:53.240
<v Speaker 1>and you have the attorneys going through what the actual

0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:56.640
<v Speaker 1>instruction will be given to like that is given to

0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:59.960
<v Speaker 1>the jury for every single count. It has to be

0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:03.240
<v Speaker 1>something that doesn't make you feel like the government is

0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:05.720
<v Speaker 1>telling you something was true or false. And it can't

0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:07.200
<v Speaker 1>be something that makes you feel like the defense is

0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:09.200
<v Speaker 1>telling you something it's true or false either. But it

0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:12.120
<v Speaker 1>can be something that like clarifies when it comes to

0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:16.760
<v Speaker 1>this specific allegation. They talked about are Kelly's case a

0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:20.320
<v Speaker 1>lot today, especially because they were trying to figure out

0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:24.040
<v Speaker 1>how the wording around the sex trafficking conversation would be.

0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:26.880
<v Speaker 1>Diddy's attorneys at a really, really good job today in court.

0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:29.400
<v Speaker 1>I will say that it's not a slam dunk either

0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:32.120
<v Speaker 1>way in my opinion. So I felt like when they

0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:35.439
<v Speaker 1>rested their case so fast, I was like, wait, did

0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:37.840
<v Speaker 1>I miss something? Why aren't they going harder? Like why

0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:42.040
<v Speaker 1>aren't they like, I don't know, just something I expected something.

0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Each attorney has like their things, so like Attorney Shapiro

0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:48.480
<v Speaker 1>she's the one who presented the acquittal. You have Teeny Garrigos,

0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:50.360
<v Speaker 1>who is a beast when it comes to evidence. You

0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:52.760
<v Speaker 1>have Mark Agnofilio, who kind of is like the glue

0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:54.719
<v Speaker 1>between them all. He's like one of the lead attorneys.

0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:59.000
<v Speaker 1>You have Brian Steele who goes crazy on cross examination.

0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Nicole Wes Morland as well goes crazy on cross examination.

0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:07.360
<v Speaker 1>You have Attorney Donaldson, who they've also used a ton

0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:12.040
<v Speaker 1>on cross examination as well. And they're in there and

0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:14.920
<v Speaker 1>they're having a conversation about the sexual acts, right. The

0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:17.400
<v Speaker 1>government was trying to argue and again this is them

0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:20.000
<v Speaker 1>trying to frame it where if they feel like they're

0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:23.839
<v Speaker 1>not strong on something, they're saying, hey, it's all about

0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:26.120
<v Speaker 1>the wording and how the jury is instructed to think

0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:29.440
<v Speaker 1>about this, which will in the end of this equal.

0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:30.319
<v Speaker 2>A certain result.

0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:34.720
<v Speaker 1>So the government was asking for in the jury instruction

0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:39.720
<v Speaker 1>for it to be clarified that forced labor could be

0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:43.520
<v Speaker 1>sex right, and did They's attorneys are.

0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:45.800
<v Speaker 2>Like no, Like what no?

0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:52.200
<v Speaker 1>And they're like this makes no sense because the government

0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:54.080
<v Speaker 1>is like, well, I know, did They's attorneys tried to

0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:55.760
<v Speaker 1>make it seem like forced labor. It's like you know,

0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:59.120
<v Speaker 1>you're it's almost like an enslavement of sorts or you know,

0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:02.280
<v Speaker 1>you have no other t choice and things of this nature,

0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:06.240
<v Speaker 1>and it's not the physical act of sex. But then

0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:08.480
<v Speaker 1>the government brought in R. Kelly and one of R.

0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:09.319
<v Speaker 2>Kelly, the R.

0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:13.079
<v Speaker 1>Kelly case as a landmark case that they refer to,

0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:15.080
<v Speaker 1>and they're like, and the judges like, okay, was this

0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:16.719
<v Speaker 1>used this way in R.

0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:17.480
<v Speaker 2>Kelly's case.

0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:20.200
<v Speaker 1>So the judge is like, no, I'm denying this because

0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:22.800
<v Speaker 1>the judge is saying, if we give the joy this instruction,

0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:25.520
<v Speaker 1>it makes them think that all sex is forced labor,

0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:29.640
<v Speaker 1>which isn't fair because technically it depends on the facts

0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:32.680
<v Speaker 1>of the case when you're having these conversations, right, So

0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:35.040
<v Speaker 1>that was a win for Ditty's team, But there were

0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:38.280
<v Speaker 1>other times where the judge denied things that Diddy's team

0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:40.160
<v Speaker 1>was asking for it, and it was a win for the prosecution.

0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:43.600
<v Speaker 1>But there was a big conversation around the sex trafficking

0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:47.640
<v Speaker 1>and when I tell you, Diddy's lawyer, Attorney Shapiro, she

0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:51.280
<v Speaker 1>was not backing down it. There was a young attorney

0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:54.679
<v Speaker 1>that was like kind of like assisting her. Oh my god.

0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:58.079
<v Speaker 1>They were eating it up. Okay, the back and forth

0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:02.160
<v Speaker 1>between attorneys is so easy because everything is based off

0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:04.840
<v Speaker 1>fact in case and they just be spitting spit and

0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:08.600
<v Speaker 1>spit and spitting. So the conversation around sex acts commercial

0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:10.760
<v Speaker 1>sex acts, what Diddy's team was making a point to

0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:14.480
<v Speaker 1>try and say was was like, look, when this case

0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:17.320
<v Speaker 1>was first presented, from the minute day that the government

0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:21.480
<v Speaker 1>did their opening statements, they've been presenting this sex trafficking

0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:27.120
<v Speaker 1>charge in these sexual commercial acts as completed acts, right, like, as.

0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:29.439
<v Speaker 2>They actually had sex.

0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:35.319
<v Speaker 1>Or had sexual interaction of some sort and they were

0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:35.960
<v Speaker 1>paid for it.

0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:36.600
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:40.360
<v Speaker 1>But Diddy's team is like, but now in the jury instruction,

0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:43.400
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to take a step back and say sexual

0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:46.760
<v Speaker 1>commercial commercial sexual acts do not have the actually mean

0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:50.760
<v Speaker 1>actually mean a completed act. And Diddy's attorney was like,

0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:53.720
<v Speaker 1>that is not fair. We've spent weeks in this courtroom

0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:55.800
<v Speaker 1>with this case being presented this way. She read some

0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:58.680
<v Speaker 1>of the opening statements to the judge which mentioned that

0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:03.600
<v Speaker 1>she talked about the night at the Intercontinental. They talked

0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:08.040
<v Speaker 1>about several different times when the government has presented these

0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:12.640
<v Speaker 1>commercial sexual acts as being defined as actual sexual intercourse

0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:15.840
<v Speaker 1>or sexual interaction complete it like a completed sexual act

0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:19.040
<v Speaker 1>of some sort. The wording that the government wants and

0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:21.520
<v Speaker 1>the jury instruction is is they want the jurors to

0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:24.880
<v Speaker 1>be instructed by the judge to understand that a sexual

0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:27.480
<v Speaker 1>act doesn't have to mean that it was completed. So

0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:30.480
<v Speaker 1>you didn't have to actually have sex, you didn't have

0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:34.560
<v Speaker 1>to actually do anything oral or finish either one of

0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:37.880
<v Speaker 1>them for this to be considered a commercial sexual act.

0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:40.360
<v Speaker 2>And the defense was not going.

0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:43.840
<v Speaker 1>Baby Diddy's attorneys immediately shot up and were like, that's

0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:47.240
<v Speaker 1>not true. The whole time they've been talking about that night,

0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:49.680
<v Speaker 1>they talked about it as if a freak off.

0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:52.520
<v Speaker 2>This was a freak off. The judge is like, I.

0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:56.679
<v Speaker 1>Don't think that the government ever tried to imply one

0:12:56.679 --> 0:13:00.600
<v Speaker 1>way or the other that you know, uh, sexual a

0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:05.440
<v Speaker 1>commercial sexual act should not be talked about as something

0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:10.000
<v Speaker 1>that's only completed. Right, And there again did't seem a

0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:11.920
<v Speaker 1>specially back there, like that's not true, that's not true.

0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:16.120
<v Speaker 2>That's not true, that's not true. So then did these

0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:16.920
<v Speaker 2>team stands up.

0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:20.040
<v Speaker 1>This is one of the younger attorneys, and he says, look,

0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:22.360
<v Speaker 1>if we're going to have a conversation about this, the

0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:26.120
<v Speaker 1>real issue here is whether it's con consensual or not.

0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:27.079
<v Speaker 2>We're arguing.

0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:29.440
<v Speaker 1>We're arguing, and we can send you some cases, we

0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:32.839
<v Speaker 1>can send you some actual transcript from what has been

0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:37.200
<v Speaker 1>actually said in this courtroom by the government. In the meantime,

0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:38.760
<v Speaker 1>we also have to look at the fact that, like

0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:43.359
<v Speaker 1>all of this is a conversation too about something being consensual,

0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:46.160
<v Speaker 1>and the way that this is worded right now in

0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:49.200
<v Speaker 1>the jury instruction, even if things are consensual in the beginning,

0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:51.040
<v Speaker 1>they can start off consensual and then.

0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:51.480
<v Speaker 2>End up not.

0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:55.200
<v Speaker 1>And they're like, even if you want to talk about that, okay, fair,

0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:56.839
<v Speaker 1>And we're talking due process here.

0:13:56.840 --> 0:13:58.320
<v Speaker 2>We're talking due process.

0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:00.800
<v Speaker 1>When it comes to the commercial sexual and we're talking

0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:03.640
<v Speaker 1>due process when it comes to the wording around the

0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:05.720
<v Speaker 1>sexual acts too, when it comes to us talking about

0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:08.560
<v Speaker 1>consensual and not consensual. And what I'm watching the prosecution

0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:11.360
<v Speaker 1>do is, you know, they covering all their bases, They

0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:14.240
<v Speaker 1>got in their eyes and crossing their te's and the

0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:17.439
<v Speaker 1>defense was arguing that even on the conversation about the

0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:20.960
<v Speaker 1>commercial sexual acts, the government is from what Diddy's team

0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:23.280
<v Speaker 1>is alleging and how they're feeling, It's like, okay, y'all

0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:25.920
<v Speaker 1>sitting over there and y'all cheers across from us. Judge

0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:29.240
<v Speaker 1>in the middle like Andy Cohen and y'all are trying

0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:31.240
<v Speaker 1>to make sure that no matter what, y'all get a

0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:35.160
<v Speaker 1>home run. You cannot make this so vague where everything counts.

0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:37.960
<v Speaker 1>It just can't go that way. So let's narrow this down.

0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:40.760
<v Speaker 1>Let's really define what this means. Because if we define

0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:43.520
<v Speaker 1>with this means based off what you guys have been talking.

0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:45.440
<v Speaker 2>About, you haven't proven that.

0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:48.520
<v Speaker 1>You haven't been able to prove that these certain things

0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:57.960
<v Speaker 1>have happened. And that's why y'all are backing like backing away.

0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:00.200
<v Speaker 2>Again. That backing away.

0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:02.760
<v Speaker 1>The prosecutors and their letter said, hey, look, we want

0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:05.640
<v Speaker 1>to streamline. Basically, we want your ay to focus, okay,

0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:08.720
<v Speaker 1>focus on this right over here because it's over here, Uh,

0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:09.720
<v Speaker 1>we ain't too sure about.

0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:12.720
<v Speaker 2>And that is what that letter was. That is what

0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:13.880
<v Speaker 2>the dropping was.

0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:17.440
<v Speaker 1>It was the dropping or backing away from certain theories

0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:20.760
<v Speaker 1>that were used to make up a crime. We gonna

0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:23.160
<v Speaker 1>lean on what we're gonna lean on first, which is honestly,

0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:25.400
<v Speaker 1>like to be completely honest with you guys, most of

0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:27.520
<v Speaker 1>the time when you do something like this, like a

0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:32.280
<v Speaker 1>rico like this or just charges In general, most prosecutors'

0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:36.760
<v Speaker 1>offices want to really take their time before indictments come

0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:39.280
<v Speaker 1>down or charges drop because they.

0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:41.000
<v Speaker 2>Don't want to get in front of a jury or.

0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:44.680
<v Speaker 1>A judge and can't really provide hard, tangible, concrete evidence

0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:45.960
<v Speaker 1>that these things are happening and.

0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:47.920
<v Speaker 2>Not just big theories. So I don't know. I was

0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:48.680
<v Speaker 2>confused about that.

0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:51.000
<v Speaker 1>But the whole time I've been confused, and I'm wondering

0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:56.320
<v Speaker 1>if it's because the actual prosecutor who charged or who indicted,

0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:59.640
<v Speaker 1>did he that changed when the trial actually started.

0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:03.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what it's been. I wouldn't. I don't know.

0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:07.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm very interested to see if anything is acquitted whatsoever.

0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:09.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that Diddy is going to walk scott

0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:12.360
<v Speaker 1>free from this. There will be some charges that he

0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:14.400
<v Speaker 1>will not walk away from, and that he will whatever

0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:17.440
<v Speaker 1>that consequence may be. He will have to do whatever

0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:19.120
<v Speaker 1>that consequence is. I don't think that he's going one

0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:21.520
<v Speaker 1>hundred percent walk Scott free. What that looks like, we

0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:24.360
<v Speaker 1>will honestly find out within the next week. They did

0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:28.040
<v Speaker 1>not directly address at all. What will be dropped won't

0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:31.640
<v Speaker 1>be dropped? Is the acquittal happening, dismissal of this. They

0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:34.960
<v Speaker 1>didn't get to that at all today. But to clarify,

0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:38.800
<v Speaker 1>there have been no charges dropped against Sean Diddy Combe

0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:42.000
<v Speaker 1>as of June twenty fifth, twenty twenty five, at nine

0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:47.000
<v Speaker 1>or five pm from my last update. At the end

0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:49.120
<v Speaker 1>of the day, there's always a lot to talk about,

0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:51.920
<v Speaker 1>and I know we've been talking about a lot of Diddy. Okay,

0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:54.240
<v Speaker 1>we've been going and we've been really going into depth

0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:57.640
<v Speaker 1>on Sean Diddy Comb's. Diddy has been in our homes,

0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:02.120
<v Speaker 1>on our TVs, on our radios, our phones, all of

0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:04.840
<v Speaker 1>that for a very very long time. So I think

0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:07.359
<v Speaker 1>that's why, you know, people are so invested in this

0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:09.920
<v Speaker 1>and I get it. Doing my best to bring y'all

0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:13.760
<v Speaker 1>the best information first and foremost, and you know, clarity

0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:14.680
<v Speaker 1>on some things.

0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:16.600
<v Speaker 2>That is my word of today. Child. I had a

0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:17.520
<v Speaker 2>day to day.

0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:20.080
<v Speaker 1>When I did that report, but all the other reports

0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:22.119
<v Speaker 1>says something else. But that's a part of the game.
