But Diddy's mom. 106 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 2: Was in court every single day. Diddy's mom was there 107 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 2: like she was an attorney. There got to a point 108 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 2: where his daughters were not there. And I think, to 109 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 2: be honest with you, a lot of this stuff that 110 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 2: was being discussed, and that was, you know, being talked 111 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 2: about on the stand and just presented by the attorneys 112 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 2: on both sides. 113 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 1: Was very graphic. So it was kind of like a 114 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: couple of times that I. 115 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 2: Was in court and I was in the main courtroom 116 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 2: and his daughters were there, it was kind of like 117 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 2: almost like uneasy. 118 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: For me to have to hear that and watch his 119 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 1: daughters have to hear. 120 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 2: So I don't know how unsettling it was for his daughters, 121 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 2: but I can only imagine because that's their dad. But yeah, 122 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 2: so they weren't in court all the time, but they 123 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 2: were there. His sons were there daying there every day. 124 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 2: His mom was there every single day. I think I 125 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 2: only remember one time that she did not show up. 126 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 2: And not only was she showing up, but you know, 127 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 2: miss Janis Combs, who was Diddy's mother, would also you know, 128 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 2: she wouldn't stop and talk. 129 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: To the media outside all the time. 130 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 2: But you know, we have video of her from outside 131 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,799 Speaker 2: of the court on the verdict day, just the crowd 132 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 2: cheering and she's blown kisses and waving. So she was 133 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 2: very well aware that there were some people still there 134 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 2: supporting Diddy and she, you know, she appreciated the love 135 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 2: and she showed that as well. But they also, you know, 136 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 2: have letters from friends. Young Miami Karsha submitted a letter. 137 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 2: She talks about going to the Met gallon, just did 138 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 2: he changing her life and her perspective because you know, 139 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 2: he always showed her how he was able to, you know, 140 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 2: break down doors and barriers for black people through his 141 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 2: black excellence. While breakdown a door is not a good 142 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 2: thing to say about Diddy in twenty twenty five. 143 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: Y'all know what I'm saying. 144 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 2: Basically, you know, she talks about her show and going 145 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 2: to the Met gallon, all these opportunities and how that 146 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 2: was life changing for her when he symbolizes or symbolized 147 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 2: because that's the thing too, It's like when Diddy comes home, 148 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 2: what is the legacy? Now that's a major question, like 149 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 2: what is the legacy? But she talks about that, like 150 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 2: what he symbolized at one point for black people and 151 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 2: you know, having a seat at the table. 152 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: She signs the. 153 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 2: Letter judge, that is a good man. Of course, that's 154 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 2: a good man in Savannah is what popped up. But 155 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 2: she signs the letter judge, that is a good man, 156 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 2: his friend, and you know our entertainment. Stevie J also 157 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 2: wrote a letter to the judge and in this letter, 158 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 2: and y'all know in the beginning of all that Stevie 159 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 2: J was like even before Diddy was locked up, STEVEEJ 160 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 2: was right there with him the whole time. I did 161 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 2: not see STEVIEJ at all in court, uh not while 162 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 2: I was there. I did not see him show up 163 00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 2: to court where I was there on any of these 164 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 2: I was there. I didn't see him in the courtroom 165 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 2: when I was in the actual main courtroom where you 166 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 2: could see people. But I know, prior to Diddy being 167 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 2: locked up, STEVEEJ was right there with him. There was 168 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 2: videos of STEVEJ and Diddy riding bikes in Miami after 169 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 2: the indictment came down right there with him. 170 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: I know. 171 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 2: STEVJ was on the TMZ dot speaking on Diddy's behalf. 172 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 2: He he's just been right there, like literally right there. 173 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 2: But he explains in the letter STEVEJ does and the 174 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 2: letter that STEVJ wrote, he says Diddy showed up for 175 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 2: him in a very crucial time in his life. He says, 176 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 2: you know, his dad was his best friend and Stevie 177 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 2: J says his dad passed away about two years ago 178 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 2: and without even asking him, did he played for basically 179 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 2: majority of the funeral costs because that's just the good 180 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 2: hearted person that he was. That's how STEVJ paints him. 181 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 2: STEVIEJ also talks about them being friends for all of 182 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 2: these decades and years, and you know, he describes himself 183 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 2: by talking about a lot of the work that STEVJ 184 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 2: himself has done with Biggie and you know, Michael Jackson 185 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 2: and all these people, because Diddy and him were friends. 186 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 2: They met in the studio and he says, you know, 187 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 2: did he change his life? So he speaks a lot 188 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 2: to that. He also talks about, you know, them going 189 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 2: through a battle of dealing with drugs and abuse and 190 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 2: all these different things. But STEVEJ himself being in you know, 191 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 2: therapy and doing different things to help his mental health 192 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 2: and the addictions that they experience in that Diddy, you 193 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 2: know and doing the same can also be a changed man. 194 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: He just needs a chance to do it. 195 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 2: So they you know, they poured it on heavy in 196 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 2: the letters, and that's what you do in these letters, 197 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 2: you know, their character statements. People want these statements attorneys 198 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,439 Speaker 2: want these statements because they want to judge to see 199 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 2: another side of the person that they've been sitting with 200 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 2: in court and hearing all of these things about for 201 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,560 Speaker 2: all of this time. The way that the people are 202 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 2: dragging Kreesia for submitting a letter is insane, though, like 203 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 2: people are coming for Karesha. 204 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 1: Now here's the thing. Whenever we've heard Karsha talk about. 205 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 2: You know, everything with Diddy, everything with Puff, what she saw, 206 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 2: what she did not see. I think, you know, for 207 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 2: the longest that was a question of did she experience 208 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 2: any of the abuse or just anything herself. She's always 209 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:21,839 Speaker 2: said no. Now I think not even think at the 210 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 2: time when everything happened, it was very obvious that she 211 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 2: distanced herself from him, at least publicly that we knew of. 212 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 2: I mean, and she's a music artist with a whole, 213 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 2: big career. She has to at that point. But I 214 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,679 Speaker 2: think the upset comes in for people because it's like, Okay, 215 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 2: you didn't see it, you weren't around for her, you 216 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,079 Speaker 2: may not have experienced it, but as a public figure, 217 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 2: as a celebrity, as a female rapper and a woman 218 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 2: with platform to stand next to him, Now that you 219 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 2: have is something that we just we're not gonna condone that. 220 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 2: So she has been trending all day. I believe she's 221 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 2: currently trending on Twitter right now as we speak. When 222 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 2: I before us started this show, I always just checked 223 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 2: to see with Sherindan, I do that about like five 224 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 2: times a day. But before I started this show, she 225 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:08,559 Speaker 2: was trending across Twitter. 226 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: Yes, she's still trending. 227 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 2: She is trending number twenty eight across the United States 228 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 2: right now because of this letter that she wrote in 229 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 2: support of Diddy, where she told the judge that is 230 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 2: a good man. Okay, Savannah, that is a good man. Now, listen, y'all, 231 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 2: let me know what y'all think, because what Karesha is 232 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 2: referencing in this letter is all of the work that 233 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 2: she's saying Diddy has done to become a better person. 234 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 2: Everybody in these letters, Diddy's legals team, that is, you know, 235 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 2: they want Diddy to get some time served, be able 236 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 2: to come home, go into rehabilitation, be supervised. They're saying 237 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 2: the time that he has been behind bars was enough 238 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 2: rehabilitation for him. 239 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: What y'all think? 240 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 2: Do you guys think that it is only fair for Diddy? Too, 241 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 2: because of what he was actually convicted of, which where 242 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 2: the prostitution acts right, the man acts to count of it. 243 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 2: Do y'all think it's fair for Diddy to come home? 244 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 2: So Diddy's legal team is saying that it's only fair. 245 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 2: It says, as discussed at length above. So this is 246 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 2: on page this is what page two, as discussed at 247 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,839 Speaker 2: length above, the proposed sentence is the only just and 248 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 2: fair sentence for mister Colmes for all of the reasons 249 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,679 Speaker 2: set forth here. So they talk about the guidelines. They say, 250 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 2: you know, this is what the sentence guidelines say, and 251 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 2: it's what we should believe. 252 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: And what they say is is that. 253 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 2: If he is given the fourteen month sentence, there should 254 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 2: be a supervised release because they're going to want time 255 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,679 Speaker 2: serve and he's already done about fourteen months. They talked 256 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 2: it at a thirteen months so far, so there should 257 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 2: be a supervised release. According to the Diddy's team, drug 258 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 2: treatment therapy and group therapy in the sentence, and that 259 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 2: would make it sufficient, but not greater than necessary, to 260 00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 2: accomplish the traditional goal of sentencing. So basically they're saying 261 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 2: to the judge, if you want him to continue to 262 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 2: serve out what the consequence should be and not overpunish him. 263 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 2: Here's exactly what needs to happen, y'all. Let me know, 264 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 2: do y'all think that it's fair? But also too What 265 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 2: I'm looking at if i'm the judge, is has he 266 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 2: actually learned his lesson in all of this? Because if 267 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 2: I'm gonna be honest with you guys, I mean, just 268 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,959 Speaker 2: drop your predictions below. My prediction is that the judge 269 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 2: is not going to go for a time served in 270 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 2: the supervisor release. I think the judge I don't see 271 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 2: Diddy because the acts that he's charged of are charged of. 272 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 2: The acts he's convicted of carry up to twenty years 273 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:40,719 Speaker 2: ten years per act, right, But the prosecutors are saying, oh, 274 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,319 Speaker 2: let's look at about four to five years. His team 275 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 2: is like a year is what we should be looking 276 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 2: at with all of these stipulations. Once he's released, and 277 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 2: here's the time he's already done. He's already done a 278 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 2: little fourteen months, a little over a year, year and 279 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:59,319 Speaker 2: two months, he's already done thirteen. I don't think that 280 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 2: the judge is going to go with this because I 281 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,559 Speaker 2: think a judge is going to continue like from the. 282 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,839 Speaker 1: Yo, I thought, and I said it. I thought that. 283 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 2: Diddy was going to be given a bell that last 284 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 2: go around when he was found not guilty of the 285 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 2: serious of the more serious charges the Rico Act, and 286 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 2: it was just the Man Act charges. I'm like, Okay, 287 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 2: at least they'll give him a bell. He'll be able 288 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 2: to go home until the sentencing and then because I 289 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 2: didn't believe then that his sentencing or what he would 290 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 2: be sentenced would be low. I've always thought that it 291 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 2: would be somewhere around like six I thought it would 292 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 2: be around like six to eight. 293 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: So even the. 294 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 2: Prosecutor saying four to five years, I think it's like, 295 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 2: I really think that a judge is going to end 296 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 2: and land somewhere around like three years. 297 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: I don't see. 298 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 2: I really don't see what the prosecutors are requesting. I 299 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 2: don't see fourteen months and all this, you know, welcome 300 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 2: home supervising because that day that that verdict happened and 301 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 2: the judge had to say, no, you're not going nowhere. 302 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: Bring that on back over here. You're not going nowhere. 303 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 2: One of the biggest things he kept pointing to was 304 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 2: all of Diddy, Like all of Diddy's actions after the indictment. 305 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 2: Because here's the thing, and a lot of these letters, right, 306 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 2: like if we go back up to page one where 307 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 2: we're talking about this introduction, right or not the introduction, 308 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 2: we're talking about this table of contents. Literally, you know 309 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 2: they talk about mister Combs being dedicated to his family. 310 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 2: He was dedicated to his family before and after the RICO. 311 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 2: Mister his career, his work history, you know, his mom 312 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 2: and her health and all these people he's helped, and 313 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 2: you know, all the things, all the things that he 314 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 2: has on the line. The biggest point here is that 315 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 2: after that indictment, there were still things that happened. Police, 316 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 2: the prosecutors say when they went to arrest Diddy, they 317 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 2: found the drugs in his room, they found the setup 318 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 2: for another alleged freak golf. There had been conversation about 319 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 2: whether he had reached out to witnesses or not. You know, 320 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 2: there's text messages and different things that were submitted, conversations 321 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 2: that we had about you know, him knowing he wasn't 322 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 2: supposed to be talking on certain phones and talking about 323 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 2: certain things, but doing certain things. Now, with all of 324 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 2: this being said, I think the biggest thing here is 325 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 2: and in the of course mean, of course there's that 326 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 2: Cassie video, which is way before the indictment, but the 327 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 2: way that that was handled in the beginning has also 328 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 2: and I think, you know, people were like, oh my god, 329 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 2: it's unfair to keep bringing up the video. But these 330 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 2: character letters and in the fact that they have about 331 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 2: let me tell y'all, I think they have almost twenty 332 00:16:58,760 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 2: character references. 333 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: I mean, it's is Diddy. He's a celebrity. So the you're. 334 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 2: Gonna have that they have about sixty. No, they have 335 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 2: over seventy letters because Exhibit seventy one is additional letters 336 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 2: of support, so they have they have almost somewhere near 337 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 2: or over a little over one hundred letters of character 338 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 2: reference support. The reason why Diddy's attorneys are leaning so 339 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,199 Speaker 2: much into trying to clear up his character is because 340 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,679 Speaker 2: what you saw on that video, what we saw in 341 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,199 Speaker 2: photos as evidence in the court from the hotel he 342 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 2: was waiting in to turn himself, in the conversations we've 343 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 2: heard and you know, text message and email and voice 344 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:47,920 Speaker 2: notes of just things that showed did he truly. 345 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 1: Understanding his power? 346 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:54,199 Speaker 2: But more so, the prosecutors are kind of using what 347 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 2: the defense is saying and working it in their favor 348 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 2: very well here because Diddy's team leans a lot into 349 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:04,120 Speaker 2: the drug stuff. He wasn't thinking clearly because of his addiction, 350 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 2: because of his mental health, because of things he's been through. 351 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 2: The prosecutors are like, well, yeah, okay, but he needs 352 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 2: to be rehabilitated, and that doesn't happen in the time 353 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 2: that you guys are saying, and that's going to be 354 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 2: the judge's decision. 355 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 1: But I do. 356 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 2: Think after hearing that judge give that decision on no 357 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 2: bond the last go around, after that verdict was read, 358 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 2: I don't think that this judge is going to buy 359 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 2: that Diddy has found this new form of rehabilitation within 360 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 2: these last thirteen months. I'm happy to hear because they've 361 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 2: also mentioned here that this is the first time that 362 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 2: he's been completely sober in about twenty five years. I'm 363 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,439 Speaker 2: happy to hear that. But we all know when you 364 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,360 Speaker 2: think about addiction, people think about addiction in the long term. 365 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 2: There's a lot of work that's going to need to 366 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:55,640 Speaker 2: be done, whether Diddy is. 367 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:56,399 Speaker 1: Locked up or not. 368 00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 2: And as a judge, I think what he's thinking of is, yes, 369 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 2: you want rehabilitation, and this judge has been really really fair. 370 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 2: Did he stood up and think the judge and said 371 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 2: he was fair? You know, at the at the end 372 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 2: of the trial, Stevie J. Says in his letter, thank 373 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 2: you judge for doing basically doing your job and doing 374 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 2: a great job, you know, throughout this trial. 375 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,679 Speaker 1: So that has not been the argument. They've tried to 376 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 1: bring that up. 377 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,479 Speaker 2: With the prosecutors, you know, with the prosecutors being unfair 378 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 2: and it being a white versus black thing, but that 379 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 2: didn't really stick. 380 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: I don't see the judge leaning in here in Diddy's favor. 381 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 2: I just don't because I think with everything that the 382 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 2: judge has seen and heard, and I'm talking about just 383 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 2: as of recent like the recent stuff right before he 384 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 2: was taken into custody, I think that there is screaming 385 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,959 Speaker 2: that there's a bigger problem here and it's something that 386 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 2: if not nipped in the butt for good, it could 387 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 2: harm a lot of people. 388 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 1: But it could also harm Diddy himself. 389 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 2: Y'all were talking about there were telling us that Diddy 390 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,640 Speaker 2: overdosed at one point and then just you know, went 391 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 2: on about his life. 392 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 1: Y'all. 393 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 2: Let me know what y'all think, though, I want to 394 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 2: hear y'all predictions again, We're back in court in less 395 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 2: than ten days, trying to figure this out. 396 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: Man. 397 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 2: I wish the best for everybody in this situation, but 398 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 2: that's just where I'm at with That's what I think. 399 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 2: That is my prediction after looking at the facts, presenting 400 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,199 Speaker 2: the facts, We're gonna keep going through these packets and 401 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 2: these There's gonna be some things that will come as 402 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 2: we lead into This is the role too, This is 403 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 2: the road to the sentence in of Sean Ditty Combs. 404 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 2: Drop your comments below, Get out there in the streets 405 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 2: and the tweets.
