WEBVTT - The Diddy Trial: 3 New Witnesses 

0:00:02.279 --> 0:00:07.200
<v Speaker 1>Hey there, everybody. Welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ. TJ.

0:00:07.240 --> 0:00:10.360
<v Speaker 1>Holmes here sing alongside my partner Amy Robot. We have

0:00:10.440 --> 0:00:13.000
<v Speaker 1>been giving a close close eye on this Didty trial.

0:00:13.320 --> 0:00:16.400
<v Speaker 1>We are now in week two, the first the second

0:00:16.440 --> 0:00:21.160
<v Speaker 1>full week of testimony in the trial. We saw yesterday

0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:23.840
<v Speaker 1>on Monday. Three people Robes are on the stand. A

0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:27.240
<v Speaker 1>former member of Danity Kine, a former best friend of

0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:31.840
<v Speaker 1>Cassie Ventura, and a former assistant to Sean Diddy Combs.

0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:35.280
<v Speaker 1>I'll ask you this first, what in all the testimony

0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:38.080
<v Speaker 1>from the previous day just jumped out at you, you

0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:38.360
<v Speaker 1>know what.

0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:41.159
<v Speaker 2>It might be an unexpected answer, because I know we

0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:45.159
<v Speaker 2>got so many bombshells from both Dawn and Carrie, but

0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:51.080
<v Speaker 2>I actually felt something deeply when I heard from David James,

0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:54.840
<v Speaker 2>that was Sean Diddy Combe's former assistant, and he was

0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:58.400
<v Speaker 2>being asked about the culture, about what he witnessed, what

0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:01.520
<v Speaker 2>he saw and what he over and he talked in

0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:06.679
<v Speaker 2>one moment during his testimony about overhearing Ditty talking about

0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:10.040
<v Speaker 2>the two main women in his life, Kim Porter, who

0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:13.080
<v Speaker 2>was the mother of his children, and Cassie Ventura, who

0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:17.280
<v Speaker 2>at the time was his girlfriend and someone asked him, Hey,

0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:21.720
<v Speaker 2>how's Kim, how's Cassie, And according to David James testimony,

0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:25.160
<v Speaker 2>he said that Ditty said, Kim, Kim's my queen.

0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:27.160
<v Speaker 1>She's good Cassie.

0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:31.680
<v Speaker 2>I got her just where I want her. She's young,

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:35.280
<v Speaker 2>and she's mouldable and she'll do what I say. I mean,

0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:39.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm paraphrasing, but paraphrasing, But that broke my heart, just

0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:44.280
<v Speaker 2>to see how he cared about Cassie, which to me

0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:47.680
<v Speaker 2>meant very little. He was there to manipulate her. He

0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:50.360
<v Speaker 2>was there, according to David James testimony, to get what

0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:53.720
<v Speaker 2>he wanted from her. But this was not something that

0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:56.440
<v Speaker 2>someone who loves someone would say. I got her just

0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:59.600
<v Speaker 2>where I want her. I was listening to that. I

0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:01.240
<v Speaker 2>was actually so listening to that while I was running

0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:04.080
<v Speaker 2>as I was hearing a recap of the testimony, and

0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:06.720
<v Speaker 2>I actually it took my breath away. It just made

0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:11.280
<v Speaker 2>me feel so much sadness for Cassie because here she was,

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:15.040
<v Speaker 2>according to her, loving him, doing his bidding, doing anything

0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:18.480
<v Speaker 2>the unthinkable, even doing things physically to her body that

0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:21.760
<v Speaker 2>she says she didn't want to do, from drugs to

0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:27.240
<v Speaker 2>NonStop sex to putting her physical and mental health completely

0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:30.120
<v Speaker 2>on the line for this man that she adored and loved,

0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:32.560
<v Speaker 2>and that is what he said about her to someone

0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:36.000
<v Speaker 2>behind her back, and it just for me was a

0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:40.519
<v Speaker 2>powerful moment to hear his level of disregard for her.

0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:43.840
<v Speaker 1>And they started up on to start the week Monday.

0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:47.520
<v Speaker 1>Don Richard, a lot of people might know that name

0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:50.240
<v Speaker 1>from Danny Kane. She does have a lawsuit, a civil

0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:53.280
<v Speaker 1>lawsuit against Diddy right now. But she started her testimony

0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:56.120
<v Speaker 1>on Friday. She was the first one up after Cassie Ventura.

0:02:56.200 --> 0:03:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Cassie finally wrapped on Friday and Don continued on Monday. Now,

0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:08.679
<v Speaker 1>she was able to corroborate some some of the stories

0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:11.760
<v Speaker 1>of violence. She was able to tell stories of actually

0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:14.560
<v Speaker 1>seeing a couple of scenes, one in particular having to

0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:16.720
<v Speaker 1>do with a frying pan and eggs that went at

0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:19.920
<v Speaker 1>Cassie's head that she said did he attack her? So

0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:22.160
<v Speaker 1>they were able to corroborate a lot of that. However,

0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:26.560
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of questions about her stories and frankly,

0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:29.200
<v Speaker 1>if they line up, if they match up, there's a

0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:31.600
<v Speaker 1>lot of questions and look in cross examination, they did

0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:34.720
<v Speaker 1>their job and she seemed to have different stories of

0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:38.200
<v Speaker 1>different recollections. I think that's going to she will not

0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:42.160
<v Speaker 1>be remembered as a slam dunk witness for the prosecution.

0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:45.480
<v Speaker 2>It's interesting that the prosecution chose to put her up

0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:48.600
<v Speaker 2>on the stand. As you pointed out, she has a lawsuit.

0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:51.720
<v Speaker 2>She filed a lawsuit against Sean Dittycombs, and so she

0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:56.800
<v Speaker 2>has a lot of these allegations already in writing legal

0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:59.640
<v Speaker 2>writing so that they can be referenced and cross reference

0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:02.080
<v Speaker 2>and re examined. And so one of the big headlines

0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:05.720
<v Speaker 2>that she had in her lawsuit was bringing in other celebrities,

0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:08.119
<v Speaker 2>which of course is going to make even bigger headlines,

0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:11.839
<v Speaker 2>people like Neo and Usher saying that they were there

0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:14.800
<v Speaker 2>at a restaurant, and in her lawsuit, in her civil lawsuit,

0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:19.000
<v Speaker 2>she claims they saw Sean Detecombe's punch Cassie Ventura at

0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:21.719
<v Speaker 2>a restaurant in the stomach, as she had when she

0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:25.240
<v Speaker 2>got up on the stand under cross examination, she backtracked

0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:27.520
<v Speaker 2>and said, well, I don't know if they saw it.

0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:30.479
<v Speaker 2>That's a big deal, and that's huge because to make

0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:32.760
<v Speaker 2>that claim in a lawsuit and then to get on

0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:37.080
<v Speaker 2>the stand at a criminal trial and say maybe they

0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:39.680
<v Speaker 2>didn't see it, I'm not sure what they saw or

0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:43.159
<v Speaker 2>what they didn't say. That's a huge, huge discredit to

0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:45.640
<v Speaker 2>her and her testimony.

0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:48.039
<v Speaker 1>And this is tough, and everybody should be reminded to

0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:50.360
<v Speaker 1>be careful with these things and be careful before you

0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:54.520
<v Speaker 1>just retweet something or put something out there. You have

0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:58.000
<v Speaker 1>two folks, you got Usher and Neo. Look, we actually

0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:04.599
<v Speaker 1>don't know, but it's being reported or the sentiment is

0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:08.000
<v Speaker 1>out there that these two guys saw a woman being

0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:12.719
<v Speaker 1>physically abused and did nothing. That's the storyline based on

0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:15.520
<v Speaker 1>things coming out of this trial that, like you just said,

0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:18.080
<v Speaker 1>she now backtracked. Well, they were there, but I don't

0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:21.320
<v Speaker 1>know if they actually saw it. That's a much different thing.

0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:24.680
<v Speaker 1>And that lends to the credibility now of this witness,

0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:29.440
<v Speaker 1>maybe in her civil suit in addition to this criminal case.

0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:32.080
<v Speaker 1>So that was one that certainly got a big headline.

0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:34.760
<v Speaker 1>But the other one Robes was about the sunglasses.

0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:40.120
<v Speaker 2>Right, So she claimed that because they knew that Cassie

0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:43.599
<v Speaker 2>had been punched in the eye and had a black eye,

0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:48.280
<v Speaker 2>that in solidarity with her, they all decided to wear

0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:51.120
<v Speaker 2>sunglasses with her so she wouldn't stand out. And so

0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:53.880
<v Speaker 2>she spoke of seeing the injuries seeing the black eye,

0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:57.520
<v Speaker 2>and that certainly backed up and corroborated what we heard

0:05:57.560 --> 0:06:01.160
<v Speaker 2>from Cassie where she had to change her dresses, change

0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:05.000
<v Speaker 2>her makeup, where sunglasses to try and hide bruises and

0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:07.359
<v Speaker 2>injuries that she says she received from Diddy.

0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:10.320
<v Speaker 1>And they did actually use a photo in court. She

0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:15.000
<v Speaker 1>uses one as an exhibit showing Don Rochard and Cassie

0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:18.240
<v Speaker 1>somewhere out in public they all had dark sunglasses on.

0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:22.200
<v Speaker 1>And look, that is pretty damning evidence. It looks backs

0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:27.640
<v Speaker 1>up that particular claim. But I think it's being an

0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:29.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm not the legal expert. I can only tell you

0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:32.640
<v Speaker 1>what legally folks are saying. She just wasn't a great prosecution.

0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:34.400
<v Speaker 2>With this right. She had some things that certainly helped

0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:37.320
<v Speaker 2>out the testimony or corroberate the testimony of Ventur, but

0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:41.520
<v Speaker 2>she also did a lot of things, unfortunately with her inconsistencies,

0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:45.040
<v Speaker 2>to do damage to the credibility of what she was saying. Therefore,

0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:47.480
<v Speaker 2>it is I am curious as to why the prosecution

0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:50.039
<v Speaker 2>chose to put her on the stand knowing what they knew.

0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:52.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they do these look, they go through they

0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:55.520
<v Speaker 2>go through the testimony, they go through possible cross examination

0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:58.560
<v Speaker 2>with their witnesses so that they're prepared to not discredit

0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:01.760
<v Speaker 2>what they just testified. So I am just curious how

0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:05.040
<v Speaker 2>that was lost and how the prosecution missed that possible

0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:06.280
<v Speaker 2>maybe not?

0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Was the line a good lawyer, you never asked a

0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:11.160
<v Speaker 1>question you don't already know the answer to, right, So

0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:14.720
<v Speaker 1>they shouldn't have been surprised by anything that she actually

0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:15.520
<v Speaker 1>stand in court.

0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:18.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and where Dawn was perhaps who knows how you

0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:21.120
<v Speaker 2>would describe if it hurt the prosecution's case, if it

0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:23.280
<v Speaker 2>helped it, or if it was perhaps even neutral. I

0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:26.240
<v Speaker 2>think by all accounts, when people read and heard what

0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:28.840
<v Speaker 2>Carrie Morgan, who was the best friend of Cassie Ventura,

0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:30.880
<v Speaker 2>had to say on the stand, she certainly helped the

0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:34.960
<v Speaker 2>prosecution's case. This was a woman who from the beginning

0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:37.480
<v Speaker 2>said she didn't want to be there, someone who would

0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:40.560
<v Speaker 2>cut off all ties with Cassie and with Sean Dittycombs

0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:44.680
<v Speaker 2>after she personally says she experienced physical harm. She personally

0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:49.240
<v Speaker 2>says the Ditty assaulted her, choked her, and then boomeranged

0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:52.240
<v Speaker 2>and threw a coat hanger, a wooden coat hanger, so

0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:54.320
<v Speaker 2>hard at her head that she actually says she got

0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:57.240
<v Speaker 2>a concussion. It was at that point that she said

0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:00.200
<v Speaker 2>sea By never want to be a part of this

0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:04.840
<v Speaker 2>and pulled away. Cassie ended up, according to Carrie Morgan,

0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:08.880
<v Speaker 2>offering her through Ditty, thirty thousand dollars and an NDA

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:11.880
<v Speaker 2>to sign for it all to go away, and she

0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:14.440
<v Speaker 2>says she took it and she's never spoken to them since.

0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:17.600
<v Speaker 2>But she certainly saw a lot before all that went on,

0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:19.920
<v Speaker 2>and she testified to it in court.

0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:22.160
<v Speaker 1>This was I asked you at the top of the

0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:24.960
<v Speaker 1>when we started this episode, what stood out to you,

0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:27.120
<v Speaker 1>and this young lady, Carrie Morgan is the one that

0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:31.880
<v Speaker 1>stood out to me. Yes, she doesn't have a civil lawsuit,

0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:36.560
<v Speaker 1>but she in her testimonies made clear she didn't even

0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:39.000
<v Speaker 1>want to be there. Oh when she said, I'm only

0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:43.079
<v Speaker 1>here because I got subpoena and where's the line and

0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:44.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to find it? You all bear with hi.

0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:47.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking through my note here. But she said I

0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:51.760
<v Speaker 1>have moved on with my life away from all these

0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:56.960
<v Speaker 1>people and the problems. There is a consistent theme that's

0:08:57.000 --> 0:09:00.280
<v Speaker 1>emerging in doing deeper dives into this story where there

0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:02.560
<v Speaker 1>were so many people looking for a way out, like

0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:05.880
<v Speaker 1>so many people wanted to escape some environment of some kind,

0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:09.680
<v Speaker 1>and some got away and never wanted to look back.

0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Others got away and still dealing with scars and have

0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:16.520
<v Speaker 1>lawsuits whatever, and all that's fine, But this young lady

0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:19.439
<v Speaker 1>came off in a particular way in that line, in particular,

0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:21.880
<v Speaker 1>like I don't want anything to do with these people,

0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:24.320
<v Speaker 1>and I'm only here because you all are requiring me

0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:24.760
<v Speaker 1>to do so.

0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:27.439
<v Speaker 2>And you know, to know that she was best friends

0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:30.560
<v Speaker 2>with Cassie for seventeen.

0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:31.920
<v Speaker 1>Years and did it immediately.

0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:35.040
<v Speaker 2>And now they don't speak, but what she did speak

0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:38.880
<v Speaker 2>to and what she did see there were, oh my goodness,

0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:42.080
<v Speaker 2>this scene she was describing after some sort of violent

0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:46.000
<v Speaker 2>altercation would take place where she said, did he assaulted Ventura,

0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:48.480
<v Speaker 2>That Ventur would be running away from him, and that

0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:51.640
<v Speaker 2>they would be hiding for what she said seemed like

0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:55.280
<v Speaker 2>hours to get away from him. And yet every time

0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:58.600
<v Speaker 2>she saw her friend Cassie go back to him ultimately

0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:01.360
<v Speaker 2>when things had calmed down, when things had settled down.

0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:04.920
<v Speaker 2>But imagine hiding from the man you say you love

0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:07.960
<v Speaker 2>for hours because you're so afraid for your life. That

0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:09.560
<v Speaker 2>is what she described, if.

0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:10.720
<v Speaker 1>She described I mean, this was.

0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:12.560
<v Speaker 2>The the.

0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:16.640
<v Speaker 1>She was there. She saw Cassie the night of the

0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:20.160
<v Speaker 1>hotel incident. The video we've all seen. This is another look.

0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:22.520
<v Speaker 1>This girl gets some chilling testimony. This young lady did.

0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:26.480
<v Speaker 1>But she said she saw Cassie that night after Diddy

0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:29.080
<v Speaker 1>had assaulted her in the hallway. And this is not

0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:30.040
<v Speaker 1>one we can question you.

0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:31.160
<v Speaker 2>We don't have to say alleged.

0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:33.040
<v Speaker 1>This is not alleged. We saw her beat her up,

0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:34.760
<v Speaker 1>and I saw him beat her up in the hallway,

0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:37.640
<v Speaker 1>said this witness. Cary Morgan said she was with Cassie

0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:40.240
<v Speaker 1>later that night. They were at home and Diddy came.

0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:42.680
<v Speaker 1>That was the same night of the attack Diddy Kane

0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:56.040
<v Speaker 1>and was banging on the door with a hammer violently, Yes,

0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:59.720
<v Speaker 1>trying to get in. While this was going, Carrie Morgan

0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:01.920
<v Speaker 1>tested that she was out of her She didn't know

0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:03.840
<v Speaker 1>what to do. I guess she was freaking out. She said.

0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:08.040
<v Speaker 1>Cassie sat on the couch quietly and did not move.

0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:12.720
<v Speaker 1>She testified that she didn't think she cared Cassie cared

0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:14.760
<v Speaker 1>if Diddy came in and killed her or not.

0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:19.319
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that was so chilling. And she started calling around

0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:22.120
<v Speaker 2>to the different you know folks within Ditty's in her

0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:24.640
<v Speaker 2>circle to try and handle it. Not the police, not

0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:25.200
<v Speaker 2>anyone else.

0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:26.840
<v Speaker 1>No, nobody called the police.

0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:29.199
<v Speaker 2>But eventually someone did. She doesn't know who did, because

0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:31.920
<v Speaker 2>she said a little while ago, yes, a little while later,

0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:35.400
<v Speaker 2>excuse me. Police did show up and Cassie refused to

0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:38.000
<v Speaker 2>press charges, to give a statement, to say what happened,

0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:40.040
<v Speaker 2>and so that was the end of it. This was

0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:45.199
<v Speaker 2>also chilling. Morgan said that when she met Ventura all

0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:48.920
<v Speaker 2>those years ago, that she was such a confident young woman,

0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:51.680
<v Speaker 2>that she was a very confident women woman. But over

0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:54.280
<v Speaker 2>the course of their friendship all the way up to

0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:57.960
<v Speaker 2>twenty eighteen, she completely lost her confidence. And she said

0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:03.280
<v Speaker 2>she heard Sean Ditty Calmbs criticize Cassie's appearance, how she behaved,

0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:07.240
<v Speaker 2>who she talked to. She said he controlled everything, and

0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:11.600
<v Speaker 2>she said including Ventura's job, her car, her apartment. He

0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:14.240
<v Speaker 2>controlled everything. She says, she would have lost all of

0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:16.280
<v Speaker 2>her livelihood, and she would have lost her friends, and

0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:18.720
<v Speaker 2>that was also her circle, her circle of support. Even

0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:21.760
<v Speaker 2>everything would have been gone had she left Diddy. Just

0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:25.280
<v Speaker 2>to give the perspective of where Cassie Ventura was and

0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:28.080
<v Speaker 2>how she found herself literally stuck.

0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:32.280
<v Speaker 1>Again, I have commended people who have come out of

0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:35.280
<v Speaker 1>been talking during this trial, not just folks on the

0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:37.800
<v Speaker 1>witness stand, but folks we have talked to in covering this,

0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:41.600
<v Speaker 1>and again I'm saying a theme has come out. We've

0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:43.840
<v Speaker 1>been talking to Auberry O'Day, who was also a member

0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:47.200
<v Speaker 1>of Danny Kane, and to hear her talk about she's

0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:49.280
<v Speaker 1>been trying to get out of this for twenty years

0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:52.080
<v Speaker 1>and she sometimes she doesn't even recognize who she is.

0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:56.679
<v Speaker 1>Those stories, and we've talked to other people who are

0:12:57.360 --> 0:12:59.840
<v Speaker 1>claimed to be victims who have been in that circle.

0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:04.440
<v Speaker 1>They all seem like different individuals from before they ever

0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:05.720
<v Speaker 1>got involved with Diddy.

0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:10.800
<v Speaker 2>They seem I think traumatized is even not powerful powerful

0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:14.080
<v Speaker 2>enough of a word. They seem like they've lost a

0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:16.160
<v Speaker 2>part of themselves. They don't even know who they are

0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:21.319
<v Speaker 2>anymore after having experience what they say they've experienced. You

0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:25.000
<v Speaker 2>know something else that's really important from a legal perspective,

0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:27.720
<v Speaker 2>something that Carrie Morgan was able to testify to. She

0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:32.840
<v Speaker 2>said that when she witnessed extreme physical violence she claims

0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:36.719
<v Speaker 2>between Combs and Ventor, Combs assaulting Ventura on two different occasions.

0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:40.640
<v Speaker 2>She said, on those two occasions, Combs was not intoxicated

0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:42.920
<v Speaker 2>and he was not high during those times, and that

0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:45.480
<v Speaker 2>is something that the defense is going to lean on.

0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:49.800
<v Speaker 2>We expect that Sean Diddy Combs isn't as responsible for

0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:51.720
<v Speaker 2>what may or may not have happened because he was

0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:54.040
<v Speaker 2>so messed up. He was so high, he was so

0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:56.199
<v Speaker 2>hopped up on drugs that he didn't even know what

0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:59.960
<v Speaker 2>he was doing. Carrie Morgan said, nahh on what I saw,

0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:03.160
<v Speaker 2>on the moments and the incidents that eye witnessed, he

0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:04.320
<v Speaker 2>was stone cold, sober.

0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:08.120
<v Speaker 1>And look, there was an incident that Cassie described last

0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:11.040
<v Speaker 1>week in which she said she had to take Diddy

0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:15.400
<v Speaker 1>to the hospital he overdosed on something. So the defense

0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:17.079
<v Speaker 1>is trying to I don't know how much it helped.

0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:20.040
<v Speaker 1>This was an addict who was behaving this way. This

0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:23.080
<v Speaker 1>wasn't a man in his right mind. Who knows if

0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:28.320
<v Speaker 1>that plays with the jury. But Carrie's testimony was we

0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:32.640
<v Speaker 1>called it bombshell after bombshell with Cassie, Carrie lended alt.

0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:34.920
<v Speaker 1>She lent a lot of credibility.

0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:37.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, especially, like you said, knowing that she didn't want

0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:40.480
<v Speaker 2>to be there, knowing that she's never filed a lawsuit,

0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:42.880
<v Speaker 2>and knowing that she's never spoken about it before now

0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:44.760
<v Speaker 2>until she was compelled to buy law.

0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:47.520
<v Speaker 1>So today, as we said, as we're recording, it's a

0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:53.840
<v Speaker 1>Tuesday here May the twentieth, and the prosecution resumed questioning

0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:56.800
<v Speaker 1>a particular witness, David James, was a former assistant to Colmbs.

0:14:56.840 --> 0:15:00.360
<v Speaker 1>He started yesterday, but his testimony continues today, so we'll

0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:02.400
<v Speaker 1>see how that goes. The last thing here at Robes

0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:05.680
<v Speaker 1>I want to address with you is something that I

0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:08.400
<v Speaker 1>hadn't thought about and never would have thought about, as

0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:10.920
<v Speaker 1>we go back to Don Richard and optics matter, and

0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:12.560
<v Speaker 1>it was pointed out to us a little while ago

0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:17.120
<v Speaker 1>how she showed up in court yesterday to testify. Now,

0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:19.800
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't have thought that much about what she was wearing.

0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:21.520
<v Speaker 1>But we were talking to Aubrey O day, we were

0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:23.520
<v Speaker 1>talking to other folks who were a part of this,

0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:26.520
<v Speaker 1>and said, did you see she had on a suit

0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:30.480
<v Speaker 1>or some blazer that it was bedazzled, had diamonds in

0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:33.320
<v Speaker 1>the collar or something they were describing, and they said

0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:34.920
<v Speaker 1>that sent a message.

0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:38.120
<v Speaker 2>That she was performing, that she wanted to be there.

0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:40.920
<v Speaker 2>This is someone who does have a lawsuit, a civil

0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:44.360
<v Speaker 2>lawsuit against City Diddy, who is seeking money and she

0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:48.200
<v Speaker 2>walked into court ready for a show, and it was

0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:51.200
<v Speaker 2>something you know, you are told or at least your

0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:56.400
<v Speaker 2>you were at least given some sort of indication as

0:15:56.400 --> 0:15:58.840
<v Speaker 2>to what would be appropriate, how the jury is going

0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:00.720
<v Speaker 2>to view you, based on how you're dress, based on

0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:02.800
<v Speaker 2>how you present yourself. So to come in in a

0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:06.600
<v Speaker 2>three piece suit with been dazzled with diamonds all over,

0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:09.880
<v Speaker 2>that is a message that a lot of people have

0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:13.560
<v Speaker 2>interpreted as her having her moment, her having her moment

0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:17.480
<v Speaker 2>once again in the spotlight, her taking the time to perform,

0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:19.960
<v Speaker 2>and then with all of the pointed out inconsistencies in

0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:22.600
<v Speaker 2>her story, it just wasn't a lot of people say,

0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:26.600
<v Speaker 2>a good look for a witness in a criminal trial

0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:29.280
<v Speaker 2>with the charges that are being thrown around, It just

0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:30.240
<v Speaker 2>didn't fly.

0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:35.240
<v Speaker 1>Folks thought that sent a clear message about what she

0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:37.880
<v Speaker 1>wants the attention to be on and that she has

0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:40.760
<v Speaker 1>an ulterior motive in being there. She has a lawsuit,

0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:45.560
<v Speaker 1>potential book or other ways to profit from this. I

0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:48.680
<v Speaker 1>don't want to. I would never ever in looking at

0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:50.760
<v Speaker 1>her that would that have crossed my mind, and I

0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:53.400
<v Speaker 1>obviously sold the pictures of her over the last several days.

0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Wouldn't crossed my mind, but it just lets you know

0:16:56.120 --> 0:17:00.240
<v Speaker 1>the just the intense scrutiny on everything that's happened in

0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:02.680
<v Speaker 1>this trial and just how interested so many people are

0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:06.200
<v Speaker 1>into it. So we again we appreciate you listening, and

0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:08.640
<v Speaker 1>you all have let us know that you want us

0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:11.399
<v Speaker 1>to keep doing these because you are listening. So we

<v Speaker 1>kind of pluck out. Like we said, Robes, we cover

0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:18.679
<v Speaker 1>this every day and you have to go to so

0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:21.280
<v Speaker 1>many outlets to put it all together to kind of

<v Speaker 1>get a good view of what happened in court, and

0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:24.959
<v Speaker 1>so we're trying to do that for FUM.

0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:27.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, hoping to give you all a recap so you're

0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:29.240
<v Speaker 2>up on the very latest. This trial is expected to

0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:32.800
<v Speaker 2>go for at least another six weeks, so we'll be

0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:35.200
<v Speaker 2>talking to you plenty. But thank you for joining us today.

0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:36.960
