WEBVTT - The Diddy Trial: Jury Deliberations Have Begun!

0:00:02.759 --> 0:00:06.880
<v Speaker 1>Hey, there're folks. It is Monday, June thirtieth, and jury

0:00:06.920 --> 0:00:12.040
<v Speaker 1>deliberations are officially underway in the trial of Sean Diddy Combs.

0:00:12.039 --> 0:00:14.680
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to this Diddy Update episode of Amy and TJ Robed.

0:00:14.720 --> 0:00:18.160
<v Speaker 1>It's a little bizarre to think it's kind of over

0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:20.800
<v Speaker 1>after we've been watching this thing so closely for two months.

0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:23.480
<v Speaker 1>Things started on May fifth with these jurors not even

0:00:23.560 --> 0:00:25.800
<v Speaker 1>knowing if they would be picked for the jury. They

0:00:25.880 --> 0:00:29.319
<v Speaker 1>just showed up for jury select jurwy selection two months ago.

0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:33.360
<v Speaker 2>And that's so wild to think. Yeah, twelve people, eight men,

0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:37.520
<v Speaker 2>four women right now are deciding the fate of Diddy

0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:41.120
<v Speaker 2>after hearing six plus weeks of testimony. Was it thirty

0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:44.840
<v Speaker 2>five witnesses total? Four thirty four witnesses total?

0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:46.440
<v Speaker 1>Another one who was the extra you threw?

0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:47.559
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:48.920
<v Speaker 1>Kanye did not.

0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:53.120
<v Speaker 2>Test He didn't count. But then too, They all sat

0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:56.720
<v Speaker 2>for what two hours this morning listening to the judge

0:00:57.160 --> 0:01:01.960
<v Speaker 2>go over in detail how they are expected to deliberate

0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:05.280
<v Speaker 2>on these five charges that Ditty is facing. And it

0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:10.280
<v Speaker 2>is complex, and it was even tedious hearing and at

0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:13.720
<v Speaker 2>least reading what the judge was explaining to the jurors.

0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:16.039
<v Speaker 1>So as we're recording those folks with this is the

0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:20.440
<v Speaker 1>jury just got the case. We'll get into the jury

0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:22.679
<v Speaker 1>instructions in a sect, but they officially do have the

0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:25.080
<v Speaker 1>case now. In the meantime, Diddy is not going back

0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:27.920
<v Speaker 1>and forth. This is interesting. As we speak, Ditty is

0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:32.160
<v Speaker 1>not going back and forth from the jail in Brooklyn

0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:34.480
<v Speaker 1>to the courthouse in Manhattan while this is going on.

0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:37.000
<v Speaker 1>He has to stay at the courthouse. I thought that

0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:40.160
<v Speaker 1>was interesting. Then it's okay, you can take some light reading.

0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:42.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he asked for some books to take with him

0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:45.200
<v Speaker 2>in the holding cell with him as he waits. I mean,

0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:47.880
<v Speaker 2>it's funny. Well, it's not funny, but it's interesting. I'm

0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:51.760
<v Speaker 2>feeling nervous just waiting or anticipating what the jury is

0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:54.240
<v Speaker 2>going to do and what they're going to think and

0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:57.040
<v Speaker 2>how they're going to begin. Can you imagine what he's

0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:59.760
<v Speaker 2>going to be doing. Light reading, maybe heavy reading. I'd

0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:02.840
<v Speaker 2>like to know what books he's he's reading to distract

0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:05.559
<v Speaker 2>himself or maybe try to take himself to another place

0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:07.280
<v Speaker 2>while his fate is being determined.

0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:09.840
<v Speaker 1>But to consider that, folks, as we speak, Diddy is

0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:13.360
<v Speaker 1>in a holding cell. A couple of blocks from where

0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:16.679
<v Speaker 1>we are recording with his books and waiting to find

0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:18.400
<v Speaker 1>out if he is going to spend the rest of

0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:21.440
<v Speaker 1>his life in prison, or maybe a few years in prison,

0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:24.760
<v Speaker 1>or maybe be home by the fourth of July. That

0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:28.600
<v Speaker 1>is not outside the realm of possibilities at all. But

0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:30.600
<v Speaker 1>this morning, Robes we're so used to. We were in

0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:32.280
<v Speaker 1>the We were actually in the car this morning when

0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:35.720
<v Speaker 1>court first started, and I was asking for you to

0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:38.880
<v Speaker 1>look at the updates since I was driving and I

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:42.080
<v Speaker 1>was so ready for there to be a two hour delay.

0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:46.640
<v Speaker 1>A juror has a transportation issue, a childcare issue. I

0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:48.520
<v Speaker 1>was waiting for something. This is one of the few days,

0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 1>it seems, in recent weeks that you know, they just

0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:53.200
<v Speaker 1>got started like they.

0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:55.399
<v Speaker 2>Were supposed to be. Yeah, the judge started addressing the jury,

0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:57.760
<v Speaker 2>I believe at nine to twenty. Beforehand, we got a

0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.720
<v Speaker 2>little bit of color from reporters who were there in

0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:03.639
<v Speaker 2>the courtroom saying that did he came in and hugged

0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:07.840
<v Speaker 2>his defense team, his entire family. His six adult children

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:10.320
<v Speaker 2>are there in court behind him, or were there in

0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:14.520
<v Speaker 2>court behind him, along with his mother, and people just

0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:20.720
<v Speaker 2>described he was kind of seemed active, seemed engaged. But gosh,

0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:21.720
<v Speaker 2>I just can't imagine.

0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:24.079
<v Speaker 1>That's always been the report, like the whole time. They say,

0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:28.200
<v Speaker 1>this is a very involved client. Yes, but looking at

0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:30.800
<v Speaker 1>juror sometimes we're not supposed to it, but certainly engaged,

0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:34.600
<v Speaker 1>looking at the juror, looking at jurors, engaged with his

0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:37.440
<v Speaker 1>own I mean his family members at time, members of

0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:41.240
<v Speaker 1>his defense team. They say he takes notes, he passes notes,

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:44.560
<v Speaker 1>he fidgets sometimes, so he is obviously all that's on

0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:46.720
<v Speaker 1>the line. You want to sit up and pay attention.

0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:48.400
<v Speaker 2>That is not surprising at all.

0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:50.480
<v Speaker 1>But about his family, I was surprised to hear I

0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:53.560
<v Speaker 1>can't remember which reporter did said the family has been

0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:56.200
<v Speaker 1>passing notes. Yes, I saw that too, on a notepad.

0:03:56.960 --> 0:03:58.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. This is the first time I've seen

0:03:58.480 --> 0:03:59.880
<v Speaker 1>that's been going on. I don't know if it's been

0:03:59.920 --> 0:04:01.320
<v Speaker 1>going on all trial, and that's.

0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:03.760
<v Speaker 2>The first I heard. Maybe they had questions for the

0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:05.920
<v Speaker 2>attorney they were passing up or at least what was

0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:09.080
<v Speaker 2>to be expected today. Maybe they had questions about timing

0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:11.920
<v Speaker 2>all of that as they were waiting for the jury

0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:14.360
<v Speaker 2>to come in and the judge to come in. But

0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:20.120
<v Speaker 2>this morning was not an exciting event. It wasn't something

0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:25.919
<v Speaker 2>where we were expecting anything other than real specific language

0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:28.159
<v Speaker 2>from the judge that had already been determined and agreed

0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:32.440
<v Speaker 2>upon between both sides on Thursday of last week. So

0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:36.800
<v Speaker 2>all of this that the judge read had already been preordained,

0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:38.719
<v Speaker 2>so to speak, by both sides fought over.

0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:42.200
<v Speaker 1>It's fair. They fought over every single bit of language,

0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:44.360
<v Speaker 1>and as we talk about some of it here, you'll

0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:47.120
<v Speaker 1>see why they had to get so specific. But I

0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:50.839
<v Speaker 1>was surprised. I think I always want to give them credit.

0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:52.839
<v Speaker 1>But the BBC report, I believe, was talking about what

0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:55.240
<v Speaker 1>was going on in this non exciting event in the

0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:59.280
<v Speaker 1>overflow room today. This is how uneventful it was. People

0:04:59.279 --> 0:04:59.960
<v Speaker 1>were falling asleep.

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:03.360
<v Speaker 2>She said that there was audible snoring in the overflow rooms,

0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:05.600
<v Speaker 2>and I didn't realize this, but starting I believe last

0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:09.160
<v Speaker 2>week they actually had to open up more overflow rooms.

0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:12.600
<v Speaker 2>There are four overflow rooms now, I believe, in addition

0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:15.680
<v Speaker 2>to the actual courthouse, and that particular reporter from the

0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:19.560
<v Speaker 2>VBC described this morning outside of the Lower Manhattan Court

0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:23.200
<v Speaker 2>House as exceptionally busy. That people are starting to get

0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:26.160
<v Speaker 2>excited or at least anticipate a potential verdict, and so

0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:28.000
<v Speaker 2>there was. It was just a lot of buzzing and

0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:30.359
<v Speaker 2>a lot of activity, a lot of folks wanting to

0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:32.240
<v Speaker 2>get into that courthouse to be a part of it.

0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:35.080
<v Speaker 1>Was it did you say already one was knitting?

0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:37.839
<v Speaker 2>Did you? I didn't say that someone was knitting too? Yes,

0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:40.600
<v Speaker 2>so you know, did he has light reading. One of

0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:43.719
<v Speaker 2>the folks who wants to watch the uh, at least

0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:46.479
<v Speaker 2>watch the jury come back or not today is knitting?

0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:49.440
<v Speaker 2>Other people are sleeping, your choice.

0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:53.440
<v Speaker 1>But the reason they were knitting and sleeping and audibly

0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:57.760
<v Speaker 1>snoring is because the official term is called a jury charge.

0:05:57.800 --> 0:05:59.839
<v Speaker 1>That's what happened today. Jury charge. You'll see that a

0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:02.440
<v Speaker 1>few places. All that means is that the jury officially

0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:05.640
<v Speaker 1>got their instructions, instructions that Robes was just talking about

0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:08.120
<v Speaker 1>that were kind of fought over by the attorneys. And

0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:10.000
<v Speaker 1>he does Robes, He's come in. I've been a part

0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.080
<v Speaker 1>I've seen these before. I've been a part of like

0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:16.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm the defendant, but I have seen these and he

0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:18.680
<v Speaker 1>is lit to relate. It is as if you were

0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:22.480
<v Speaker 1>reading the instruction pamphlet from a TV or an electronic

0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:25.480
<v Speaker 1>He is reading every single line about what they have

0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:29.039
<v Speaker 1>to do, and it does. It takes a while. You

0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:31.440
<v Speaker 1>have to pay attention. I think some of the they

0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:33.360
<v Speaker 1>were take well, they'll have a copy of the instructions

0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:35.000
<v Speaker 1>back there with them. But you have to sit and

0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:39.040
<v Speaker 1>pay attention because he goes through what legally some of

0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:41.839
<v Speaker 1>these standards you have to meet to find somebody guilty.

0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:46.520
<v Speaker 1>And that is the part that gets complicated, and especially

0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:48.800
<v Speaker 1>when you talk about racketeering, and I think that is

0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:50.919
<v Speaker 1>the one they spend a lot of time on in court.

0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:54.039
<v Speaker 2>Today, racketeering. He actually the judge went through the eight

0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:58.440
<v Speaker 2>different potential crimes that could be a part of the

0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:01.800
<v Speaker 2>racketeering and made it clear that did he had to

0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:04.920
<v Speaker 2>have committed or they had to believe he committed at

0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:08.599
<v Speaker 2>least two of them with a co conspirator within a

0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:11.000
<v Speaker 2>ten year period of time. Say it again for the

0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:15.240
<v Speaker 2>people in the exactly really did he had to have committed?

0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:17.920
<v Speaker 2>According to the jurors had to decide that he committed

0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:24.960
<v Speaker 2>two of these ten crimes with someone within the last

0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:27.360
<v Speaker 2>ten years or within ten years of each other. We see,

0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:30.480
<v Speaker 2>it's so amusing, but here the eight they have to

0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:33.040
<v Speaker 2>find that he was guilty of at least two of

0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:39.000
<v Speaker 2>these crimes with another person, kidnapping, arson, bribery, forced labor,

0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:44.200
<v Speaker 2>transportation to engage in prostitution, sex trafficking, witness tampering, and

0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:47.400
<v Speaker 2>possession with the intent to distribute controlled substances. And he

0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:49.760
<v Speaker 2>got very specific about that last one about the drugs,

0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:53.280
<v Speaker 2>because he said it didn't matter how much drugs we

0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:55.320
<v Speaker 2>were talking about, or which drugs were talking about, It's

0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:58.560
<v Speaker 2>just had to have happened with a second person and

0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:01.360
<v Speaker 2>an intent to distribute. I mean, it's I'm telling you

0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:05.680
<v Speaker 2>my mind. Every time I was listening to him reiterate

0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:07.960
<v Speaker 2>or at least reading what he was charging the jurors with,

0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:09.960
<v Speaker 2>it got more and more confusing. That's why this is

0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:12.400
<v Speaker 2>all written down and the jurors will each have a

0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:15.840
<v Speaker 2>copy with them in the deliberation room, because I imagine

0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:17.640
<v Speaker 2>you would have to refer I'm having to refer back

0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:20.000
<v Speaker 2>to it. I'm having to say, wait, now, which ones

0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:21.640
<v Speaker 2>in what time frame?

0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:25.200
<v Speaker 1>With whom so he used that phrase a lot today,

0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:29.080
<v Speaker 1>the Comb's enterprise, because it needs to be an enterprise

0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:32.440
<v Speaker 1>in order for them to find him guilty of racketeering. Again,

0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:34.000
<v Speaker 1>this is the one he spent most of the time

0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:39.280
<v Speaker 1>on today. Was explaining racketeering, so Rotes. So much of

0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:42.320
<v Speaker 1>the debate was did they even establish that there was

0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:45.680
<v Speaker 1>a Comb's enterprise, meaning all this stuff he was doing

0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:49.360
<v Speaker 1>was personal, So there had to be one other person,

0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:53.760
<v Speaker 1>So the other it could be his drug mule, quote unquote,

0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:57.760
<v Speaker 1>could it be Kkstad, Could it be his security guy.

0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:01.280
<v Speaker 1>They had to somebody at least one of those people

0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:09.240
<v Speaker 1>had to agree to commit two of these crimes with him, did.

0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:12.400
<v Speaker 2>They That'll be for the jury to decide.

0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:14.000
<v Speaker 1>To think you have to go. Okay, so think about

0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:15.440
<v Speaker 1>the jerom. How long is this going to take?

0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:15.679
<v Speaker 2>All?

0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:19.800
<v Speaker 1>Right? Kidnapping, did he commit kidnapping? You have to say

0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:23.080
<v Speaker 1>yes or no. They say yes, he committed kidnapping. But

0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:27.880
<v Speaker 1>did somebody else in his circle agree to do that

0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:28.960
<v Speaker 1>kidnapping with him?

0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:32.079
<v Speaker 2>The prosecution would say d Rock did when he took.

0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:37.400
<v Speaker 1>Capricorn after kid cut it. Correct, Okay, So if that's

0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:39.880
<v Speaker 1>the case, that's just one. Yeah, Now we got to

0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:42.040
<v Speaker 1>go through all the others. And then and only then

0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:44.480
<v Speaker 1>can you say he is guilty of racketeering. If they

0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:48.160
<v Speaker 1>decide Robes, that's the case that two of these were

0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:50.599
<v Speaker 1>committed with did he he's going to doil for the

0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:51.200
<v Speaker 1>rest of his life.

0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:53.480
<v Speaker 2>Correct, because that and that is the reason it's the

0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:55.920
<v Speaker 2>most complex of them all, and it's the one that

0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:58.720
<v Speaker 2>carries the longest prison sentence, so up to life in prison.

0:09:58.880 --> 0:09:59.480
<v Speaker 2>It's that.

0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:03.720
<v Speaker 1>If he is found guilty, he is going to prison

0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:07.840
<v Speaker 1>for the rest of his life. Quite oh my goodness. So, yes,

0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:10.400
<v Speaker 1>it gets complicated. They spend time with that. Yes, rhades

0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:12.840
<v Speaker 1>to your point. They're going to have the jury instructions.

0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:15.160
<v Speaker 1>They got laptop with them that has all the evidence

0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:16.800
<v Speaker 1>on that. They have a list of all the exhibits,

0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:19.160
<v Speaker 1>and they have a verdict sheet in there with them,

0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:21.840
<v Speaker 1>and that's kind of it that they go in again.

0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:26.080
<v Speaker 1>And you mentioned as well, So he go on the

0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:28.360
<v Speaker 1>drugs for a second before we move on to this

0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:31.800
<v Speaker 1>next thing about that we're getting into about disregarding a

0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:34.520
<v Speaker 1>witness's testimony. The drugs thing. Both of us I think

0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:38.040
<v Speaker 1>when it happened the testimony was it Brandon Paul, I

0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:41.439
<v Speaker 1>think we both were like, wait a minute, drug distribution?

0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:43.960
<v Speaker 1>Is the jury really going to say this dude was

0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:48.000
<v Speaker 1>distributing drugs? Did he as a drug distributor? Because he

0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:51.920
<v Speaker 1>told his assistant to come get him some drugs and

0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:55.360
<v Speaker 1>then he gave one pill to Cassie for the for

0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:58.000
<v Speaker 1>the freak off. Is that drug distribution?

0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:02.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, yes, according to the judge, he said, the amount

0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:07.320
<v Speaker 2>of drugs is irrelevant. That if at least two people

0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:10.760
<v Speaker 2>agreed to distribute a drug from one person to another,

0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:15.199
<v Speaker 2>then that falls into Yeah, that's the burden.

0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Of proof if two people. If you and I take

0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:21.520
<v Speaker 1>go to who I want to name somebody rigue, I

0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:26.960
<v Speaker 1>don't name a real person. But then oh, Joe shmok.

0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:31.199
<v Speaker 1>Let's say you and I go buy drugs from Joe. No,

0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:34.120
<v Speaker 1>you go buy drugs from Joe because I asked you to.

0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:37.080
<v Speaker 1>And then you bring those drugs to me and I

0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:41.320
<v Speaker 1>say thank you, Robock. And then I go give one

0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:44.160
<v Speaker 1>pill to a friend of mine because they asked for it.

0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:45.880
<v Speaker 1>I am now a drug distributor.

0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:49.200
<v Speaker 2>Yep, according to the way the judge laid it out,

0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:51.520
<v Speaker 2>that actually is the case. And so when we were

0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:54.400
<v Speaker 2>listening to the prosecution, when we were listening to people

0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:59.880
<v Speaker 2>the assistants describe what they did for Diddy, that seemed

0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:03.440
<v Speaker 2>like a slam dunk. I don't know now.

0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Is that the place where you go into some common

0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:10.240
<v Speaker 1>sense that a juror thinks, Wait, a minute. It was

0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:13.160
<v Speaker 1>personal use drugs, which is what the defense said. Is

0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:14.760
<v Speaker 1>a juror gonna sit there and say, I am I

0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:17.920
<v Speaker 1>going to send Sean Combs to prison for the rest

0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:22.559
<v Speaker 1>of his life because he wanted to use personal drugs.

0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:24.680
<v Speaker 1>That goes beyond a legal definition. And that's where you

0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:27.080
<v Speaker 1>talk about what you were saying. His attorney put on

0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:27.640
<v Speaker 1>such a show.

0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:30.640
<v Speaker 2>So here's the other little cybar that I noticed. Did

0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:32.720
<v Speaker 2>you see or did you read? I'm sure you did.

0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:36.720
<v Speaker 2>What the judge said to the jurors, A got intoxication

0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:39.120
<v Speaker 2>because this is what I think is very interesting when

0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:41.640
<v Speaker 2>it comes to the drug use. So the judge specifically

0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:45.160
<v Speaker 2>told the jurors before they went away for deliberations that

0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:49.680
<v Speaker 2>being intoxicated is not a defense for committing a crime,

0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:54.520
<v Speaker 2>but it can impact your intent to commit a certain

0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:57.719
<v Speaker 2>crime like racketeering. So this has been a huge part

0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:00.560
<v Speaker 2>of the defense saying, hey, he was a drug addict,

0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:04.240
<v Speaker 2>he needed to go to rehab. He knew not what

0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:07.240
<v Speaker 2>he was doing because he was so messed up. He

0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:08.959
<v Speaker 2>was out of his mind on drugs, he was out

0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:11.640
<v Speaker 2>of his mind on alcohol, and so it's not a

0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:14.440
<v Speaker 2>defense for the crime, but it could absolutely impact whether

0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:21.200
<v Speaker 2>or not they believe he was a part of this racketeering. I.

0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:23.520
<v Speaker 2>I thought that was huge as well. That's why I

0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:25.440
<v Speaker 2>wanted to bring it up now when we're talking about

0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:30.520
<v Speaker 2>the drugs, because it's not it's not just about distributing

0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:33.120
<v Speaker 2>the drugs. He was taking the drugs.

0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:37.240
<v Speaker 1>I thought that. Look, I don't know for sure, and

0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:39.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if the judge, if it legally has

0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:41.960
<v Speaker 1>to be in there, but I'm pretty sure his defense

0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:43.680
<v Speaker 1>team was I'm sure rooting for that.

0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:45.880
<v Speaker 2>It was very happy to hear. That was one of

0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:47.720
<v Speaker 2>the last things the judge told the Jersey.

0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:50.240
<v Speaker 1>That's interesting to hear. So this is why I never heard.

0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:56.400
<v Speaker 1>Does intent to commit racketeering matter? Do you have to

0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:58.800
<v Speaker 1>have the intent to be a mob boss?

0:13:58.800 --> 0:13:59.920
<v Speaker 2>It seems like the answer is ye.

0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:03.160
<v Speaker 1>To that, then all this is out the window. Then

0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:08.360
<v Speaker 1>isn't it to suggest that Diddy was running a enterprise

0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:13.880
<v Speaker 1>for the purpose of committing I am a huge music

0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:16.600
<v Speaker 1>star and the purpose of all this is so I

0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:18.480
<v Speaker 1>can have drug fueled sex nights.

0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:22.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's for pleasure. Well, he was doing what he

0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:26.960
<v Speaker 2>did for pleasure, personal pleasure, sexual pleasure, drugs. You could say, yes,

0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:29.560
<v Speaker 2>he wants to be high. He wants to numb, So

0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:34.640
<v Speaker 2>that's very different. So that intent seems to be very different.

0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:37.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't, you know, I don't know how the story

0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:39.920
<v Speaker 2>is going to figure this out. I really don't because

0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:42.480
<v Speaker 2>even when you hear the judge clearly say what this is,

0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:46.240
<v Speaker 2>what that is, there's still so much room for what

0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:49.000
<v Speaker 2>you think, what you feel, what your experience is, what

0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:50.800
<v Speaker 2>you would put on someone else, what you know you've

0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:53.240
<v Speaker 2>personally done in your life, and would that be racketeering?

0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:55.280
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, the judge just spoke, most people

0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:57.880
<v Speaker 2>in this country would be guilty of racketeering then with

0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:00.960
<v Speaker 2>drug use, I mean, even if it's just like a

0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:04.600
<v Speaker 2>prescription pill somebody needs anti depressed and somebody needs a xani,

0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:06.400
<v Speaker 2>how many people have just passed that stuff out, you

0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:08.720
<v Speaker 2>know what I mean? Like, it's just I think people

0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:11.040
<v Speaker 2>bring in their own real life experiences to this too

0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:15.600
<v Speaker 2>when they're judging, and this seems ah, this seems so

0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:19.480
<v Speaker 2>there's so many gray areas. That's the issue.

0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:23.120
<v Speaker 1>And another key point the judge had today was if

0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:28.120
<v Speaker 1>a witness lied about one thing, then hey, you can

0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:43.360
<v Speaker 1>assume they lied about everything. We continue here on this Monday,

0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:46.920
<v Speaker 1>June thirtieth, the first day of deliberations. Now in the

0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:52.840
<v Speaker 1>Diddy trial, as we speak, the jury deliberations have officially begun,

0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:54.760
<v Speaker 1>and before they went in robes, of course, the judge

0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:56.920
<v Speaker 1>gave them their instructions and a key part of the instruction,

0:15:57.600 --> 0:15:59.960
<v Speaker 1>and this is something we heard his defense attorney talking

0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:03.480
<v Speaker 1>about yesterday. But look, if you think one witness, if

0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:07.680
<v Speaker 1>a witness lied about one thing, you can assume they

0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:09.080
<v Speaker 1>lied about everything if you want to.

0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:11.760
<v Speaker 2>That was a key point and that was something yes,

0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:14.280
<v Speaker 2>that the defense was trying to hammer home on their

0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:17.560
<v Speaker 2>closing arguments. Yes, but the judge made it very very clear,

0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:22.760
<v Speaker 2>if you find that any witness willfully testified falsely, you

0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:25.880
<v Speaker 2>have the right to reject the testimony if that witness

0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:30.840
<v Speaker 2>in its entirety, even if you find them truthful or

0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:35.240
<v Speaker 2>credible in other parts, the judge is still instructing the

0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:38.960
<v Speaker 2>jury that they have the right to then disregard every

0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:43.760
<v Speaker 2>single thing that witness testified to. And so, because especially

0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:46.920
<v Speaker 2>with that big Perry Mason moment the defense had when

0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:50.040
<v Speaker 2>it came to the timeline that Mia was giving about

0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:52.800
<v Speaker 2>whether or not did you actually dangled her over that

0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:55.400
<v Speaker 2>sixteenth floor balcony on said date once.

0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:58.400
<v Speaker 1>That was you know what, Wow, that.

0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:05.320
<v Speaker 2>Was Brianna Bongoland. But that witness, it seems specifically, if

0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:09.800
<v Speaker 2>you are taking the judge what he instructed you to disregard,

0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:14.160
<v Speaker 2>certainly in that moment, that was not a true statement

0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:16.800
<v Speaker 2>and it was proven not to be true that he

0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:21.040
<v Speaker 2>dangled Brianna from that balcony on that very specific date.

0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:24.600
<v Speaker 1>Did you're speaking of me? Why do I think Capricorn

0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:27.080
<v Speaker 1>Clark had something? I thought she got hung up or

0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:29.800
<v Speaker 1>got caught in something that wasn't quite clear. Brianna Bonglan

0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:34.280
<v Speaker 1>obviously was the big one. But the defense attorney Mark Agniphillo, Yes,

0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:37.080
<v Speaker 1>finally got that right. Agniphillo. Yeah, the trial is wrapping up.

0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:40.080
<v Speaker 1>I finally got his last name right. But he made

0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:43.080
<v Speaker 1>that point in closing, he made sure he got that

0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:44.800
<v Speaker 1>in there. He said, the judge is going to instruct

0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:47.320
<v Speaker 1>you on this tomorrow but or on Monday. But let

0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:50.720
<v Speaker 1>me tell you, but absolutely so, Brianna Bongley was a

0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:54.480
<v Speaker 1>key a key witness, not only because of what happened

0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:57.760
<v Speaker 1>to her, but because of what she allegedly saw, Because

0:17:57.800 --> 0:18:01.160
<v Speaker 1>of what she saw did he allegedly do, and how

0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:04.720
<v Speaker 1>he behaved and even suggested he assaulted her. And then

0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:07.920
<v Speaker 1>was she smoking a marijuana cigarette or was this a

0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:12.040
<v Speaker 1>regular cigarette? Like there were little things in there. The days,

0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:13.639
<v Speaker 1>How many days is she spilling the stand?

0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:15.000
<v Speaker 2>Multiple days?

0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:20.679
<v Speaker 1>Multiple days, that key prosecution witness. They might take all

0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:24.439
<v Speaker 1>of her testimony and scrap it up and throw it

0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:27.080
<v Speaker 1>out because they just say, ah, don't believe me. In

0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:29.199
<v Speaker 1>the justice, I got the right to disregard all of it.

0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:33.000
<v Speaker 2>And you know that the defense wanted that in there

0:18:33.040 --> 0:18:35.520
<v Speaker 2>as well. It seems as though with the judges instructions,

0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:38.119
<v Speaker 2>the defense got a lot of what they wanted the

0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:41.960
<v Speaker 2>jury to remember or at least told they were capable

0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:44.680
<v Speaker 2>of doing when they went into that deliberation room, when

0:18:44.680 --> 0:18:46.480
<v Speaker 2>they started to look at the evidence and really go

0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:49.040
<v Speaker 2>they have the transcripts, they can go back and actually

0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:52.600
<v Speaker 2>see those moments where some of the witnesses might have

0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:57.400
<v Speaker 2>been caught up in ambiguous testimony or at least testimony

0:18:57.400 --> 0:19:00.600
<v Speaker 2>that maybe they later had to amend or change. And yeah,

0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:02.720
<v Speaker 2>you just need what win is to say, nep, I

0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:06.199
<v Speaker 2>don't believe I don't believe that, and it goes Oh,

0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:07.359
<v Speaker 2>it all goes away.

0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:12.840
<v Speaker 1>Next, So what's the next Now for the next I

0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:15.040
<v Speaker 1>mean we wait. We literally this is okay, and now

0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:15.400
<v Speaker 1>we wait.

0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:17.439
<v Speaker 2>We are waiting, but the clock is ticking. Yeah. The

0:19:17.480 --> 0:19:19.879
<v Speaker 2>first thing that the jurors are supposed to do is

0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:24.000
<v Speaker 2>to pick a four person. So they're supposed we're waiting,

0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:26.600
<v Speaker 2>I guess for a message. They will when they vote

0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:28.520
<v Speaker 2>and they pick out their four person, they will then

0:19:28.600 --> 0:19:32.359
<v Speaker 2>send that message to the judge, and I believe the

0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:34.880
<v Speaker 2>judge will then let the courtroom know who the four

0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:37.159
<v Speaker 2>person is, or at least that they've found or picked

0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:39.720
<v Speaker 2>chosen a four person and are going forward from there.

0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:43.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and after that, we are waiting for them to decide,

0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:45.840
<v Speaker 1>for them to let us. Yeah, two notes he asked for.

0:19:45.880 --> 0:19:47.280
<v Speaker 1>He says, send me a note, let me know who

0:19:47.280 --> 0:19:48.760
<v Speaker 1>the four person is, and what was the second one?

0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:51.159
<v Speaker 1>Let me know what your schedule is going to be.

0:19:51.320 --> 0:19:56.000
<v Speaker 1>He's asking them, when do you all want to stop deliberating?

0:19:56.000 --> 0:19:58.400
<v Speaker 1>He said they can go until five every day.

0:19:58.440 --> 0:20:00.000
<v Speaker 2>He said, they can go past five pm. Yeah.

0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:02.480
<v Speaker 1>I had to say, I've certainly seen judges. I've seen

0:20:02.600 --> 0:20:04.280
<v Speaker 1>juries like get us the hell out of here. I

0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:06.720
<v Speaker 1>still till eight o'clock, nine o'clock. Sometimes, don't know. This

0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:09.080
<v Speaker 1>jury could go into three, because they've been going nine

0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:11.920
<v Speaker 1>to three has been what the court's been. I don't

0:20:11.920 --> 0:20:13.040
<v Speaker 1>even know how to guess that.

0:20:13.040 --> 0:20:16.359
<v Speaker 2>No, because it depends on those jurors individual lives and

0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:18.040
<v Speaker 2>what their lives are like schools out here in New

0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:20.480
<v Speaker 2>York Finally, for the first time since they started deliberating.

0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:23.159
<v Speaker 2>Not sure if any of these folks or parents, but

0:20:23.280 --> 0:20:25.960
<v Speaker 2>that could have a huge impact because up until Thursday,

0:20:26.320 --> 0:20:28.320
<v Speaker 2>if they had kids, their kids were in school. Now

0:20:28.359 --> 0:20:30.320
<v Speaker 2>those kids are out of school here in the New

0:20:30.400 --> 0:20:32.160
<v Speaker 2>York City area. It's a late time to get out.

0:20:32.200 --> 0:20:35.760
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, it is crazy timing. And also of note,

0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:40.280
<v Speaker 2>the judge sent the five alternates home and said you

0:20:40.280 --> 0:20:43.679
<v Speaker 2>can go home. However you need to keep They have

0:20:43.720 --> 0:20:45.320
<v Speaker 2>to have a phone number, they have to be able

0:20:45.359 --> 0:20:47.399
<v Speaker 2>to be reached at a moment's notice. They kind of

0:20:47.400 --> 0:20:49.199
<v Speaker 2>have to be on standby, so to speak. And he

0:20:49.240 --> 0:20:51.720
<v Speaker 2>actually did apologize to them. He said, I'm so sorry

0:20:51.760 --> 0:20:53.679
<v Speaker 2>most of you will not be able to see this

0:20:53.760 --> 0:20:56.679
<v Speaker 2>through to the deliberation process. And can you imagine you

0:20:56.720 --> 0:21:02.280
<v Speaker 2>spent that much time of your life watching, witnessing, probably

0:21:02.359 --> 0:21:05.399
<v Speaker 2>forming your own opinions, and then not actually getting to contribute.

0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:07.600
<v Speaker 1>I was waiting on you to say that out loud,

0:21:08.240 --> 0:21:10.160
<v Speaker 1>and then I figured you'd come to the same conclusion

0:21:10.200 --> 0:21:13.520
<v Speaker 1>I did. That's the best place to be. I got

0:21:13.520 --> 0:21:16.159
<v Speaker 1>a front row seat. I got to experience history and

0:21:16.200 --> 0:21:17.879
<v Speaker 1>see this and it is It'll go down in history

0:21:17.920 --> 0:21:20.320
<v Speaker 1>this trial, and then I get to go home and

0:21:20.359 --> 0:21:23.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't actually have to vote and figure this out.

0:21:23.320 --> 0:21:28.359
<v Speaker 1>This is just too heavy. It's just jurys, jurors, God

0:21:28.440 --> 0:21:31.640
<v Speaker 1>love you. I've been called of some jury duties, never

0:21:31.680 --> 0:21:34.040
<v Speaker 1>had to serve on a jury. This is just to

0:21:34.040 --> 0:21:37.359
<v Speaker 1>have somebody's life in your hands. This civic duty is

0:21:37.400 --> 0:21:39.719
<v Speaker 1>what we're all supposed to do. It's just it's a

0:21:39.760 --> 0:21:42.840
<v Speaker 1>lot of robes because you can see sympathy with so

0:21:42.960 --> 0:21:45.760
<v Speaker 1>many people. What do people deserve? What is fairness? What

0:21:45.880 --> 0:21:47.960
<v Speaker 1>is the law say? What is my common sense tell me?

0:21:48.000 --> 0:21:50.000
<v Speaker 1>What does my eyes tell me? What does my heart

0:21:50.040 --> 0:21:52.960
<v Speaker 1>tell me? I don't know.

0:21:53.440 --> 0:21:56.080
<v Speaker 2>And then the dynamic of those other folks in the

0:21:56.200 --> 0:21:59.320
<v Speaker 2>room with all of their different life experiences coming in,

0:21:59.359 --> 0:22:01.560
<v Speaker 2>and then everyone has to find a compromise because at

0:22:01.560 --> 0:22:03.959
<v Speaker 2>the end of the day, this has to be a

0:22:04.200 --> 0:22:09.000
<v Speaker 2>unanimous decision on all five of these charges. So you know,

0:22:09.200 --> 0:22:12.600
<v Speaker 2>some some cases are more complicated than others. And obviously

0:22:12.800 --> 0:22:15.119
<v Speaker 2>murder trials, someone's life is truly on the life. But

0:22:15.200 --> 0:22:18.359
<v Speaker 2>sometimes it's as simple as a murder charge or you know,

0:22:18.440 --> 0:22:22.600
<v Speaker 2>a first degree or second degree charge. This is so complicated,

0:22:22.640 --> 0:22:25.400
<v Speaker 2>with so many different types of charges that carry very

0:22:25.400 --> 0:22:30.000
<v Speaker 2>different punishments. It's it's exceptionally confusing. That's why I you know, look,

0:22:30.040 --> 0:22:33.199
<v Speaker 2>this could they could come back at any point, but

0:22:33.280 --> 0:22:34.960
<v Speaker 2>it seems like it's going to take some time.

0:22:35.080 --> 0:22:39.600
<v Speaker 1>Be shocked if we get anything, you know what, I

0:22:39.600 --> 0:22:42.560
<v Speaker 1>if I were a betting man, I would put it

0:22:42.600 --> 0:22:45.440
<v Speaker 1>through fourth of julyne if I were a betting man,

0:22:45.480 --> 0:22:47.080
<v Speaker 1>I would put it through that unless they do some

0:22:47.200 --> 0:22:49.240
<v Speaker 1>longer hours or if they want to get out of

0:22:49.280 --> 0:22:52.600
<v Speaker 1>their fine. But it is so step by step, twelve

0:22:52.640 --> 0:22:55.000
<v Speaker 1>people we have to go through and listen to twelve

0:22:55.040 --> 0:22:59.919
<v Speaker 1>people on eight different counts that only lead to the

0:23:00.160 --> 0:23:03.359
<v Speaker 1>one racketeering count. I mean, it's it's I don't know.

0:23:03.400 --> 0:23:04.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how they do it.

0:23:04.440 --> 0:23:06.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't either. I was trying to think about it

0:23:06.080 --> 0:23:08.000
<v Speaker 2>as a parent, like just having a couple of kids,

0:23:08.000 --> 0:23:10.240
<v Speaker 2>trying to figure out what you want to do for

0:23:10.240 --> 0:23:13.680
<v Speaker 2>today or what food you want to order. It's that's

0:23:13.680 --> 0:23:17.760
<v Speaker 2>hard to get twelve people to agree on something this

0:23:17.920 --> 0:23:21.400
<v Speaker 2>serious and this complex, with the world watching, knowing you're

0:23:21.440 --> 0:23:23.400
<v Speaker 2>gonna be questioned and knowing you're gonna have to sleep

0:23:23.400 --> 0:23:23.720
<v Speaker 2>at night.

0:23:23.800 --> 0:23:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Which one takes less time? Which charge? Which one you

0:23:27.880 --> 0:23:29.840
<v Speaker 1>think they would get through fairly quickly?

0:23:32.359 --> 0:23:36.480
<v Speaker 2>Well hmmm, I mean I feel like the drug charge,

0:23:37.640 --> 0:23:39.119
<v Speaker 2>But that's a part of the racketeering. That's part of

0:23:39.119 --> 0:23:40.080
<v Speaker 2>the rector see, that's part of the.

0:23:40.080 --> 0:23:43.399
<v Speaker 1>Racketeer's actually charged with kidnapthel and charged with arson, not

0:23:43.520 --> 0:23:47.920
<v Speaker 1>charged with drugs, but those underlying crimes go into the racketeering.

0:23:48.000 --> 0:23:51.040
<v Speaker 1>That's crazy tell to think about. But the prostitution one

0:23:51.200 --> 0:23:55.880
<v Speaker 1>is the one that because yes, he paid those guys

0:23:56.160 --> 0:23:58.240
<v Speaker 1>flew to where he was and they ended up having

0:23:58.320 --> 0:23:59.920
<v Speaker 1>sex with his girlfriend.

0:24:00.040 --> 0:24:03.560
<v Speaker 2>Would have to buy the defense's argument that he was

0:24:03.640 --> 0:24:07.399
<v Speaker 2>paying for their experience and their time and not for

0:24:07.440 --> 0:24:09.760
<v Speaker 2>their sex. And I think that's a hard one to

0:24:09.800 --> 0:24:11.960
<v Speaker 2>believe because the video shows differently.

0:24:12.520 --> 0:24:16.560
<v Speaker 1>And let's litigate the case. Yes, that's second. Yes, this argument, well,

0:24:16.720 --> 0:24:21.760
<v Speaker 1>why don't you just shut down all escort services? Was

0:24:21.800 --> 0:24:27.879
<v Speaker 1>the Yes, we hired an escort. They're online cowboys for angels. Okay,

0:24:28.040 --> 0:24:31.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm just hiring an escort. Why is that business legal?

0:24:31.600 --> 0:24:33.200
<v Speaker 1>And I'm supposed to put this man in jail for

0:24:33.240 --> 0:24:33.840
<v Speaker 1>the rest of his way?

0:24:34.200 --> 0:24:37.520
<v Speaker 2>No, And I think that could be a human reaction.

0:24:37.600 --> 0:24:39.719
<v Speaker 2>It's not necessarily the legal one, because I think if

0:24:39.720 --> 0:24:43.440
<v Speaker 2>you look at the legal part of this, it seems

0:24:43.480 --> 0:24:46.280
<v Speaker 2>like it's a fairly cut and dry issue that he

0:24:46.440 --> 0:24:52.199
<v Speaker 2>absolutely paid for male escorts and Cassie and Jane to

0:24:52.359 --> 0:24:56.360
<v Speaker 2>cross state lines to participate in sex parties, and he

0:24:57.080 --> 0:24:59.680
<v Speaker 2>paid them for it, So that does But he's claiming

0:24:59.720 --> 0:25:01.600
<v Speaker 2>he will paid for their experience in time and the

0:25:01.640 --> 0:25:03.240
<v Speaker 2>sex just happened to happen.

0:25:03.400 --> 0:25:08.359
<v Speaker 1>Everybody else who hires an escort, right, correct, you're hiring

0:25:08.400 --> 0:25:11.480
<v Speaker 1>and escort. What happens after that? Hey, it's up to you.

0:25:11.880 --> 0:25:14.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying that I see that. So the prostitution

0:25:14.560 --> 0:25:17.280
<v Speaker 1>one seems to be, well, he paid, they can't have

0:25:17.320 --> 0:25:20.280
<v Speaker 1>sex five But this is the one that is up

0:25:20.320 --> 0:25:21.639
<v Speaker 1>to ten years in prison.

0:25:21.680 --> 0:25:24.400
<v Speaker 2>So it's the lesser of all the right, I think

0:25:24.400 --> 0:25:26.840
<v Speaker 2>the one. Yes that so that one seems like the

0:25:26.880 --> 0:25:31.280
<v Speaker 2>most obvious one that they could come to a conclusion on.

0:25:31.400 --> 0:25:36.120
<v Speaker 2>But who knows, because look, again, every juror brings their

0:25:36.119 --> 0:25:38.440
<v Speaker 2>life experience into that deliberating room.

0:25:38.880 --> 0:25:39.960
<v Speaker 1>Hope no guys in there.

0:25:40.040 --> 0:25:42.119
<v Speaker 2>Well, there's eight men and four women.

0:25:42.600 --> 0:25:45.320
<v Speaker 1>Hope none of them are frequent visitors to Cowboys for

0:25:45.359 --> 0:25:48.040
<v Speaker 1>Angels or well, no, they wouldn't be. I guess right.

0:25:48.160 --> 0:25:52.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, the boys for Angels, yes, but cowboys for angels,

0:25:52.760 --> 0:25:56.919
<v Speaker 2>Angels for cowboys, cowboys for angels yes. So anyway, we

0:25:57.000 --> 0:25:59.520
<v Speaker 2>will continue to wait along with all of you in

0:25:59.560 --> 0:26:03.200

0:26:03.200 --> 0:26:05.560
<v Speaker 2>we'll pop back on. So take a look at your phone,

0:26:05.600 --> 0:26:07.800
<v Speaker 2>keep your eye on it, because we will absolutely be

0:26:07.920 --> 0:26:11.359
<v Speaker 2>updating our Amy and TJ podcast speed with any new

0:26:12.080 --> 0:26:14.399
<v Speaker 2>developments that will happen throughout the day to day and

<v Speaker 2>for the days to come. But in the meantime, thank

0:26:16.400 --> 0:26:19.520
<v Speaker 2>you for listening to us here on this Monday afternoon.
