00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: Jury's selection in Ditty's federal trial began earlier this week,

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:08,479
Speaker 1: with a few prospective jurors being excused. A judge asked

3
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: Juror forty eight if she answered yes to any questions

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,080

5
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 1: where she gave the affirmative because of an alleged attempted rape.

6
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 1: While she didn't say, she couldn't be fair. Apparently, she

7
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: wrote on the questionnaire that Diddy has money and could

8
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: potentially buy his way out of trouble. When asked what

9
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: she meant by her answered, Juror forty eight replied, just

10
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 1: what I wrote.

13
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: ditty sex parties and the case on the Joe Rogan podcast,

14
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: and another juror was excused because he used to work

15
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: at a publishing company that published Albi Schure's memoir. According

16
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: to US News, twelve jurors will decide whether Diddy used

17
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: his power and influence to sexually spoil women for more

18
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: than two decades, as federal prosecutors allegend of five count indictment.

19
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: So there you go. So there they have dismissed some juriste.

20
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, so he's not out of jail yet, he's not.

21
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 3: He's not there for jury selection.

22
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, they got to select the jurors.

23
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,479
Speaker 1: Yes, he is because gray hair.

24
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, his hair is gray, his beard is gray. Yeah.

25
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, they don't have just for men in there.

26
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 2: Ye.

27
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 4: Really on that first day for the jury selection, he

28
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 4: told the judge that he was nervous.

29
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 2: Did he said that?

30
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: So?

31
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,440

Speaker 1: from court.

34
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 4: Because they probably want to keep the jurors potential juris identity.

Speaker 2: I'm sure I don't care. Who are the jewry box?

76
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,200

77
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: family used to talk about how black people can't stick

78
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: together and we're I mean, they didn't have social media,

79

Speaker 3: Not to this degree.

84
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, because of social media.

85
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 3: Because there just wasn't the tools of technology at a end. Yeah,

86
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 3: and it's gotten. The use of this tool is horrible.

Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.

91
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: All right. Finally, our last story. This is according to

92
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 1: US Weekly, former NFL star Steve Smith Senior is being

93
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: sued by the husband of his alleged mistress. The plaintiff,

94
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: Antonio Martinez, is suing Steve Smith forty five under North

95
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: Carolina's Alienation of affection law, which is also known as

96
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: the home wrecord law. It allows a spouse to sue

97
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: a third party for breaking up a marriage. According to

98
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 1: the lawsuit, Antonio is seeking one hundred thousand dollars in

99
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,279
