WEBVTT - The Diddy Trial: “It Just Gets Better and Better”

0:00:01.760 --> 0:00:02.360
<v Speaker 1>Hey there, folks.

0:00:02.400 --> 0:00:05.880
<v Speaker 2>It's Tuesday, June twenty fourth. We are in the seventh

0:00:05.920 --> 0:00:09.280
<v Speaker 2>week of testimony in the Diddy trial, and as we speak,

0:00:09.360 --> 0:00:13.400
<v Speaker 2>the final witness of the trial is on the stand.

0:00:13.480 --> 0:00:16.560
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to this Ditty update edition of Amy and TJ

0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:19.400
<v Speaker 2>and Robes has been seven weeks. It's weird to say

0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:22.200
<v Speaker 2>this is the last guy where're going to hear from.

0:00:22.280 --> 0:00:25.240
<v Speaker 3>That's right, and right now he is being cross examined

0:00:25.400 --> 0:00:29.560
<v Speaker 3>by Ditty's defense attorneys, and once that cross examination is over,

0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:33.120
<v Speaker 3>that's it. It's it's hard to imagine, but yes, the

0:00:33.120 --> 0:00:35.480
<v Speaker 3>defense says it will rest. It is not calling any

0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:38.279
<v Speaker 3>witnesses to the stand. So what we're hearing from this

0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:42.680
<v Speaker 3>homeland security agent is the end of the evidence for

0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:43.839
<v Speaker 3>the jurors to consider.

0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:46.200
<v Speaker 2>Are they going out I don't know, with a bang

0:00:46.240 --> 0:00:50.040
<v Speaker 2>with a third I don't know, because there have been

0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:54.040
<v Speaker 2>so many explosive witnesses and explosive testimony that it seems

0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:58.320
<v Speaker 2>like a guy going through hotel receipts, some text messages,

0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:01.840
<v Speaker 2>some travel itineraries, like boring stuff, but is important stuff.

0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:02.280
<v Speaker 4>I think.

0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:05.280
<v Speaker 3>Honestly, if you look at what the prosecution presented on

0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:07.679
<v Speaker 3>Friday and yesterday, it was kind of boring. He was

0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:10.280
<v Speaker 3>connecting the dots. He was saying, did he paid for this?

0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:13.680
<v Speaker 3>Did he paid for that? But now with the defense

0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:15.800
<v Speaker 3>cross examining him, I think it's a little bit more

0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:21.640
<v Speaker 3>interesting because they are actually reading text messages between Ditty

0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:27.520
<v Speaker 3>and Jane right now, and also between Jane and an escort,

0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:31.160
<v Speaker 3>and I found it pretty interesting how much she took

0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:36.280
<v Speaker 3>control of coordinating and then also praising and talking about

0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:39.880
<v Speaker 3>how much she enjoyed having sex with the escort and

0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:43.679
<v Speaker 3>telling Diddy that she wanted to have some alone time

0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:45.600
<v Speaker 3>with him, some one on one time with him. She

0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:49.360
<v Speaker 3>said she hadn't actually been with him, she said selfishly,

0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:51.400
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what that means in five months. That's

0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:54.880
<v Speaker 3>interesting to me that pretty much their intimacy was her

0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:56.800
<v Speaker 3>having sex with other men and him watching it.

0:01:56.840 --> 0:01:59.560
<v Speaker 4>But she seemed excited about it.

0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:04.640
<v Speaker 3>Some of these text messages certainly are massively favorable for

0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:08.080
<v Speaker 3>the defense. She said, I haven't stopped thinking about it.

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:10.160
<v Speaker 3>It just gets better and better. That's what Jane texted

0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:13.400
<v Speaker 3>to Diddy, and then she texted to the escort. This

0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:15.800
<v Speaker 3>was one for the books, so it didn't sound like

0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:17.959
<v Speaker 3>somebody who was coerced or somebody who didn't want to

0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:20.520
<v Speaker 3>be there, or someone who felt like they had to

0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:20.920
<v Speaker 3>be there.

0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:24.720
<v Speaker 2>So before this guy even got on the stand today

0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:27.480
<v Speaker 2>to start the day, there was a significant delay before

0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:29.480
<v Speaker 2>we even got to some of these text messages because

0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:31.720
<v Speaker 2>they had to fight over what text messages they would

0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:34.480
<v Speaker 2>even be allowed to enter. I believe by most of

0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:37.280
<v Speaker 2>the estimates people in the court room seemed like anyway

0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:40.359
<v Speaker 2>from a thirty to forty five minute delay after nine

0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:41.640
<v Speaker 2>am in getting to the.

0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:42.440
<v Speaker 1>Stand of that field.

0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:47.919
<v Speaker 2>What about right, Yes, because the attorneys were arguing, that's

0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:48.919
<v Speaker 2>the right, debate.

0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:50.720
<v Speaker 4>Debated, they were debated, Well, they still argue too.

0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:53.200
<v Speaker 2>Yes, they were debating and arguing in front of the

0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:56.520
<v Speaker 2>judge over text messages they wanted to have entered into

0:02:56.800 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 2>testimony and entered into evidence. And there were several objections

0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:04.240
<v Speaker 2>by the prosecution, in particular to some of Cassie ventor

0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:09.160
<v Speaker 2>refines text messages to Ditty. In particular, there was one

0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:12.760
<v Speaker 2>that the defense wanted to submit in which she was

0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:15.840
<v Speaker 2>talking about wanting to have sex, to wanting to be

0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:18.400
<v Speaker 2>with him, wanting and they wanted to enter this to

0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:22.840
<v Speaker 2>show look she was initiating this, she wanted this. The

0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:26.640
<v Speaker 2>prosecution objected, and the judge sustained the objection because the

0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:29.440
<v Speaker 2>judge even said, she was talking about one on one time.

0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:31.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, she was talking about having sex with Ditty, And

0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:33.680
<v Speaker 3>I think that's really clear, and she's made that clear

0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:37.360
<v Speaker 3>that's all she wanted, and that she was tolerating or

0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:40.760
<v Speaker 3>at worst being coerced into having sex with other men

0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:44.520
<v Speaker 3>just so she could try and get eventually, ultimately alone

0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 3>time with Ditty.

0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:47.120
<v Speaker 2>So she will, and it makes sense she would be

0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:49.640
<v Speaker 2>excited or wanting to be with her man one on one,

0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:52.400
<v Speaker 2>and the judge saw that, so he said, absolutely, that

0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:55.000
<v Speaker 2>objection is sustained. You're not going to be able to

0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:58.080
<v Speaker 2>use that one. But then there were three others at

0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:00.400
<v Speaker 2>least that they were trying to get interered, and the

0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:04.240
<v Speaker 2>prosecution objected, but he overruled those objections because she was

0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:07.360
<v Speaker 2>talking about baby oil, she was talking about some other

0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:10.640
<v Speaker 2>things that seemed to show that she was a willing

0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:14.000
<v Speaker 2>participant and initiated some of this stuff. So the defense

0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:16.800
<v Speaker 2>lost on that one text message, but they won on

0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:18.440
<v Speaker 2>all of these others that they are going to be

0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:19.200
<v Speaker 2>able to present.

0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:21.880
<v Speaker 3>And of course this is all the defenses, I mean,

0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:24.159
<v Speaker 3>this is their case. They might not be calling any

0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:26.320
<v Speaker 3>witnesses of their own, but this is their case to

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:29.159
<v Speaker 3>prove to the jury. They are saying that everything that

0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:33.839
<v Speaker 3>happened was consensual, that Jane and Cassie were both willing participants,

0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:36.359
<v Speaker 3>and in some cases, if you look at these text messages,

0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:42.200
<v Speaker 3>not just willing, but excited and anticipatory of what happened.

0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:44.000
<v Speaker 4>And then even in the aftermath of.

0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:46.120
<v Speaker 3>Some of these freak offs, they were talking about how

0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:49.039
<v Speaker 3>great it was, how amazing it was. So they have

0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:53.000
<v Speaker 3>certainly cast some doubt and in terms of motive or

0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:56.400
<v Speaker 3>why or how this all came about why these women

0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:57.120
<v Speaker 3>were participating.

0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:57.960
<v Speaker 1>What is that good enough?

0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:00.320
<v Speaker 2>What you described there? Is that good enough to say

0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:04.280
<v Speaker 2>for them? The way they explain that is, hey, yes,

0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:06.480
<v Speaker 2>of course they were saying that to Diddy because they

0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:08.560
<v Speaker 2>felt this is what he wanted, this is what they

0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:11.479
<v Speaker 2>had to do. That seems to be always the comeback

0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:14.360
<v Speaker 2>that none of that was authentic. They were performing for him,

0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:15.360
<v Speaker 2>even in the text message.

0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 3>Then couldn't you argue that how would did he ascertain

0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:18.960
<v Speaker 3>the difference between the two.

0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:20.080
<v Speaker 4>If he's being told this?

0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:23.799
<v Speaker 3>They did argue that, right, I mean, if he's being

0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:26.960
<v Speaker 3>told by these women that they're excited about it and

0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:29.760
<v Speaker 3>that they want it, and that afterwards they were happy

0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.160
<v Speaker 3>about it and wanted more of it. How is he

0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:35.080
<v Speaker 3>supposed to know that they're just performing for him so

0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:37.840
<v Speaker 3>that they can be with him. That doesn't really make

0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:39.839
<v Speaker 3>a lot of sense to me. I mean, it looks

0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:40.039
<v Speaker 3>to me.

0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:43.000
<v Speaker 4>Again. I'll reiterate no legal expert here.

0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:45.719
<v Speaker 3>But man, I think the defense has done an amazing

0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:48.680
<v Speaker 3>job in all of their cross examinations and certainly even today,

0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:52.280
<v Speaker 3>showing the jurors that there is some doubt in terms

0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:56.560
<v Speaker 3>of whether or not these women were forced to participate

0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.800
<v Speaker 3>in these freak offs. I think that there is definitely doubt.

0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:03.280
<v Speaker 3>Can you hear their own words in real time of

0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:04.560
<v Speaker 3>when this was all going on.

0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:07.479
<v Speaker 2>Wasn't it a big thing earlier in the trial about

0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.240
<v Speaker 2>whether or not I think it was Cassie vent Or

0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:12.760
<v Speaker 2>Fine who was saying she needed to be on drugs

0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:14.840
<v Speaker 2>for these free calls like she does. No way she

0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:16.919
<v Speaker 2>could just she had to numb herself. But one of

0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 2>the objections this morning was over a text message that

0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:24.080
<v Speaker 2>Cassie vent Or final Fine had between with her and Didty,

0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:26.800
<v Speaker 2>in which she was asked can she do the freak

0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:31.239
<v Speaker 2>off without the drugs. Her response was, yes, the judge

0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:35.159
<v Speaker 2>overruled the objection to that text. That is going to

0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:37.800
<v Speaker 2>be able to submit into evidence. So that was a

0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:40.040
<v Speaker 2>big deal for a while. This is the only way

0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:42.640
<v Speaker 2>I could get through. And now the jury is being told,

0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:46.719
<v Speaker 2>Oh so she could, in clear conscience and right mind

0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:49.279
<v Speaker 2>participate and she's saying it here.

0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:52.120
<v Speaker 4>And she texted that in real time. She texted it.

0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:55.640
<v Speaker 3>And again, how is Diddy supposed to know that if

0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:58.360
<v Speaker 3>it's true she was lying about it, if she actually

0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:01.120
<v Speaker 3>really couldn't do it without drugs, how's he supposed to

0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:03.320
<v Speaker 3>know she's lying to him when she says she could

0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:06.280
<v Speaker 3>do it without drugs. And yeah, those texts are incredibly

0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:09.640
<v Speaker 3>damning and it undermines a lot of the testimony that

0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:12.440
<v Speaker 3>we heard from both Cassie and Jane while they were

0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:13.120
<v Speaker 3>on the stand.

0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:16.400
<v Speaker 2>And so Jane has been the heart a lot of

0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:18.880
<v Speaker 2>the heart a lot of the conversation this morning with

0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:21.480
<v Speaker 2>this Homeland Security agent.

0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:22.600
<v Speaker 1>I didn't expect him.

0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:26.320
<v Speaker 2>He's been out this as what Friday, Yeah, they knew. Yeah,

0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:28.200
<v Speaker 2>I thought he's gonna be kind of a throwaway, and

0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:31.000
<v Speaker 2>he's been up there and incredibly important but some of

0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:33.080
<v Speaker 2>the text messages, so many of them are focused on

0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:35.920
<v Speaker 2>Jane and there back and forth, and some of the

0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:39.280
<v Speaker 2>the defense, of course the cross examination, now the prosecution

0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:43.680
<v Speaker 2>presented different text messages, but now these are painting a

0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:48.960
<v Speaker 2>wildly different picture of a woman who was giddy.

0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:50.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, one a good word.

0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:52.400
<v Speaker 3>That's a very I was trying to find the word

0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:54.840
<v Speaker 3>when I was saying excited or anticipatory, but giddy.

0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:56.200
<v Speaker 4>Giddy is a very good word.

0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:59.160
<v Speaker 3>And they also were just putting up messages where Jane

0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:01.280
<v Speaker 3>was telling it how much she loved him and that

0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:03.760
<v Speaker 3>she would not take him for granted. I mean this,

0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:07.600
<v Speaker 3>that's if the motivation is love, how is that coercion?

0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:09.320
<v Speaker 3>I mean, that's what it seems like to me when

0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:12.680
<v Speaker 3>I when I hear even the testimony from these two women.

0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:15.080
<v Speaker 3>But certainly these text messages that the defense is pointing

0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:19.040
<v Speaker 3>out and having read aloud to me as a layman,

0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:22.800
<v Speaker 3>it seems like these women were motivated by love and

0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:25.520
<v Speaker 3>desire and maybe even some money.

0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:27.720
<v Speaker 4>Maybe even some money, but that's that was their choice.

0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:30.120
<v Speaker 3>They wanted to they wanted to be able to live

0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:32.320
<v Speaker 3>a different kind of lifestyle, so that all seems like

0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:35.200
<v Speaker 3>off benefit to them that and how many other women

0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:37.520
<v Speaker 3>have done things that they didn't want to do because

0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:39.160
<v Speaker 3>they love demand. I mean, I think that's just a

0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:42.200
<v Speaker 3>common thing that has happened. Does that mean a crime

0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:43.960
<v Speaker 3>was committed. Does that mean that someone needs to go

0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:45.400
<v Speaker 3>to prison for the rest of their lives?

0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:47.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, that okay, And I just want to make sure

0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:49.200
<v Speaker 2>you're saying that as far as what the jurors might have.

0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:54.600
<v Speaker 4>Correct, correct, I'm thinking about this. No, no, no, no, I'm

0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:55.120
<v Speaker 4>not saying that.

0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:57.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm saying I think, well, I do think that most

0:08:57.640 --> 0:08:59.480
<v Speaker 3>women can put themselves in that position.

0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:02.160
<v Speaker 4>I actually it'll be so interesting.

0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:04.520
<v Speaker 3>To see if the jurors do decide to speak or

0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:06.640
<v Speaker 3>at least talk about why they made their decisions, but

0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:10.600
<v Speaker 3>like how it falls not just between black and white

0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:14.360
<v Speaker 3>or race, but gender and as a woman. You know, Look,

0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:17.959
<v Speaker 3>I was disgusted and appalled and hearing and seeing all

0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:21.360
<v Speaker 3>of this and just feeling so badly for these women

0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:25.600
<v Speaker 3>who are giving this gut wrenching testimony and putting themselves

0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:29.360
<v Speaker 3>and their reputations on the line, having been forced to

0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:33.960
<v Speaker 3>watch humiliating videos of sexually explicit acts that they were committing.

0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:39.520
<v Speaker 3>So I was definitely wanting to be team team women.

0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:43.240
<v Speaker 3>But hearing all of these other text messages, I can

0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:45.920
<v Speaker 3>kind of see it in a human experience, and I'm

0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:49.640
<v Speaker 3>sure there's regret and I'm sure there's anger, But where

0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:53.920
<v Speaker 3>was their responsibility in participating? And that is where I

0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:57.679
<v Speaker 3>think a lot of jurors, as human beings and maybe

0:09:57.720 --> 0:09:58.800
<v Speaker 3>even as women, can.

0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:01.280
<v Speaker 4>Say, oh, sound they were love sick.

0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:04.080
<v Speaker 3>Sounds like they really just wanted to be with him

0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:06.280
<v Speaker 3>and they would do anything they could to be with him.

0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:07.720
<v Speaker 4>Does that mean there was a crime?

0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:11.920
<v Speaker 2>You're saying that Their question is not a legal one

0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:16.480
<v Speaker 2>but almost an emotional one. It sounds like they're Obviously

0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:19.520
<v Speaker 2>emotions come into any jury deliberation. But all these jury

0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:21.760
<v Speaker 2>instructions and all these lee lees in the back and forth,

0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:23.680
<v Speaker 2>he was like, all right, let's follow the law. But

0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:25.760
<v Speaker 2>this might simply come down to whether or not they

0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:31.120
<v Speaker 2>believe these women, whether or not they believe that they

0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:34.080
<v Speaker 2>were part time. I asked you this the other day.

0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:38.079
<v Speaker 2>I think, can you be a part time victim if

0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:40.319
<v Speaker 2>the other part of the time you're a willing participant?

0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:42.640
<v Speaker 4>Yes? I think the answer to that is yes.

0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so that's the guy. We get past that.

0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:46.000
<v Speaker 2>So then let's go with the part when they were

0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:49.600
<v Speaker 2>possibly a victim. Can you say, I mean, how much

0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:51.360
<v Speaker 2>doubt is someone going to have in their head in

0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:53.520
<v Speaker 2>that jury room? Is that what they're having to really

0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:57.360
<v Speaker 2>decide whether or not these women were willing participants?

0:10:57.720 --> 0:10:58.439
<v Speaker 1>What was in their heart?

0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:00.800
<v Speaker 2>Was it about love that yes?

0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:03.400
<v Speaker 4>Or were they forced because.

0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:06.200
<v Speaker 1>There's that line.

0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:08.080
<v Speaker 4>Coercion for I mean, it's it's so tough.

0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:11.559
<v Speaker 3>It's so tough now and now that we've heard all

0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:15.840
<v Speaker 3>of the testimony and we've really seen Ditty's lawyers be

0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:19.600
<v Speaker 3>excellent in terms of where they took their questioning, where

0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:22.680
<v Speaker 3>they took their cross examination, it's cast a shadow of

0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:25.040
<v Speaker 3>doubt for me, I mean, just as someone who's been

0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:37.880
<v Speaker 3>watching it for sure, this one's tough.

0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:38.679
<v Speaker 1>To our point.

0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:43.920
<v Speaker 2>One of the text messages April twenty twenty two, I

0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:47.800
<v Speaker 2>even wrote a note to myself fear oh shit when

0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:49.880
<v Speaker 2>I saw this, and just that was the note thing.

0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh but and this is what Jane wrote to Ditty

0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:55.640
<v Speaker 2>in April twenty twenty two. Baby, I want to make

0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:58.400
<v Speaker 2>love to you. I haven't selfishly had you to myself

0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:03.680
<v Speaker 2>for five months. I'm fine with the other stuff, but

0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:07.600
<v Speaker 2>I really just need you right now. Diddy's response, Okay,

0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:10.600
<v Speaker 2>whatever you want. That sounds like a couple. That sounds

0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:14.000
<v Speaker 2>like a relationship, That sounds like an understanding. That eden

0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:17.480
<v Speaker 2>sounds like her telling him what we've been doing is cool.

0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:20.080
<v Speaker 2>Can I just have this? And the follow up to

0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:21.840
<v Speaker 2>this sure enough they had some alone time.

0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:24.080
<v Speaker 1>That's a tough.

0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:28.840
<v Speaker 3>Exchange, man, that really is that is incredibly damning. I

0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:33.199
<v Speaker 3>would think to the prosecution's contention that this was coercion,

0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:36.000
<v Speaker 3>that doesn't sound like coercion.

0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:39.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm fine with the other stuff, but I really just

0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:43.200
<v Speaker 2>need you right now. His response was, Okay, whatever you want.

0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:47.120
<v Speaker 2>How I don't know what the prosecution. I don't know

0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:48.520
<v Speaker 2>if they're going to get up and say anything. They

0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:50.640
<v Speaker 2>get a chance to redirect with this witness, I don't

0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:51.800
<v Speaker 2>know if they're going to try to take that on

0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:56.439
<v Speaker 2>or not. But my word, that is just a totally

0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:58.160
<v Speaker 2>different picture.

0:12:58.320 --> 0:12:58.720
<v Speaker 4>Correct.

0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:02.520
<v Speaker 3>And the one that I just mentioned it, But the

0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:05.360
<v Speaker 3>one that really stood out to me was when and

0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:08.359
<v Speaker 3>it's it's Tenny Garagos who is doing the cross examination

0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:13.280
<v Speaker 3>right now, but when she had the Homeland Security agent

0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:19.960
<v Speaker 3>read aloud the text messages between Ditty and Jane and

0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:23.480
<v Speaker 3>an escort, So they were all there texting, and Jane

0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:27.280
<v Speaker 3>text combs about the freak cops about having sex with

0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:30.200
<v Speaker 3>an escort that the prosecution is maintaining. She was cool,

0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:34.000
<v Speaker 3>worce to do. It just gets better and better, and

0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:37.800
<v Speaker 3>she's telling ditty this. You know, it's so fascinating because

0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:41.720
<v Speaker 3>before we had cell phones and text messages. Imagine how

0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:43.839
<v Speaker 3>much more difficult this trial would be. But these text

0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:47.719
<v Speaker 3>messages tell stories that you can't right, he.

0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:48.960
<v Speaker 1>Would be not guilty.

0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:51.920
<v Speaker 2>It's several years ago. You wouldn't have all this evidence, right,

0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:54.080
<v Speaker 2>That is so weird to think about. You would not

0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:56.920
<v Speaker 2>have this. It would just he says. She said, that's

0:13:57.040 --> 0:13:59.320
<v Speaker 2>all the option they would have at the time. That

0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:02.720
<v Speaker 2>is I never stop to think about this. Whole thing

0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:06.160
<v Speaker 2>has been about interactions and video and surveillance and electronics,

0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:07.040
<v Speaker 2>and it's.

0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:09.520
<v Speaker 4>All iPads about modern technology.

0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:12.400
<v Speaker 3>And you can try to make it look one way,

0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:14.440
<v Speaker 3>but then when the defense shines a light on the

0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:19.240
<v Speaker 3>other text messages, it the fuller picture is around. I mean,

0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:22.480
<v Speaker 3>I do think this gives the jury the best possible

0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:25.480
<v Speaker 3>vantage point other than actually being there and witnessing it

0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:28.560
<v Speaker 3>in the moment. It's kind of close because not only

0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:34.120
<v Speaker 3>look they yesterday. According to the Homeland Security Agent, they

0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:38.720
<v Speaker 3>found fifty video files just in a pretty short period

0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:39.080
<v Speaker 3>of time.

0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:41.000
<v Speaker 2>I believe that was the one that it was like

0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:42.880
<v Speaker 2>five days before Christmas one.

0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:47.000
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yes, it was December of twenty twenty one, I believe.

0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:50.680
<v Speaker 3>And they showed the jurors two of them. So, I mean,

0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:54.840
<v Speaker 3>this is wild. It's as close as you can get

0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:57.520
<v Speaker 3>to being there in the room with them and then

0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:02.800
<v Speaker 3>hearing how each party felt afterwards and beforehand, with text

0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:05.400
<v Speaker 3>messages accompanying these videos.

0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:08.480
<v Speaker 2>Can you imagine if this trial was allowed to be

0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:12.360
<v Speaker 2>on camera on TV, they couldn't think about the Oja trial,

0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:14.480
<v Speaker 2>thinking about even the Amber heard Johnny depth thing that

0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:17.720
<v Speaker 2>people were locked to. If this were on camp, we

0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:20.320
<v Speaker 2>could sit and watch this on TV every day, but.

0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:23.640
<v Speaker 4>They have to blur everything out. You couldn't have that audio, some.

0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:25.920
<v Speaker 2>Of the language.

0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:28.200
<v Speaker 4>It's not for TV.

0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:31.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god. I wouldn't miss a second of it.

0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:33.440
<v Speaker 2>Maybe HBO I would have been captivated.

0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:34.480
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't have missed them.

0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:39.960
<v Speaker 4>Whether you want to admit it or not, you everyone

0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:40.920
<v Speaker 4>would be watching this.

0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:42.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And I.

0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:45.280
<v Speaker 2>Don't know how this one doesn't feel necessarily that voyeuristic

0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:47.640
<v Speaker 2>to me. I suppose it is and there's a celebrity nature,

0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:51.200
<v Speaker 2>but that's so many things having like real societal issues

0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:55.520
<v Speaker 2>like we mentioned of race, of class, of power of man, woman,

0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:59.440
<v Speaker 2>of me too, of right relationships, of coersions, so many

0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:01.280
<v Speaker 2>fine lines, and there's so many things that I hope

0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:04.160
<v Speaker 2>we do discuss all of us after this trial. But

0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:07.120
<v Speaker 2>it was such a I guess it was such a cultural,

0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:12.120
<v Speaker 2>a societal event versus just a celebrity one, and that's

0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:13.080
<v Speaker 2>probably a good thing.

0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:13.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:15.520
<v Speaker 2>I know it's salacious and for a lot of folks

0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:17.160
<v Speaker 2>and the stuff, but I don't pay attention to a

0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:19.720
<v Speaker 2>lot of the stuff and the social media we're on.

0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:22.200
<v Speaker 2>I know people probably saying some pretty nasty things about

0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:23.000
<v Speaker 2>baby oil.

0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:24.600
<v Speaker 1>And all those jokes and all that stuff.

0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:27.840
<v Speaker 2>But this has given us all a chance to have

0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:29.360
<v Speaker 2>some pretty important conversations.

0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:31.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, this is about the music industry, This is about

0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:34.480
<v Speaker 3>the hip hop culture. This is about you know, where

0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:40.000
<v Speaker 3>is the line between yes and maybe what's the gray area?

0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:43.360
<v Speaker 3>What's a crime what's not? I mean, and that will

0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:48.800
<v Speaker 3>always be in any in any trial, in any case.

0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:50.840
<v Speaker 4>An issue of.

0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:54.440
<v Speaker 3>And there's no rape charge here, but whether or not

0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:56.200
<v Speaker 3>you were forced to have sex or not have sex.

0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:59.440
<v Speaker 3>That has always been one of the most difficult crimes

0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:02.600
<v Speaker 3>to prove ever, because typically it is he said, she said,

0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:06.000
<v Speaker 3>And how do you know who said yes, who said no,

0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:10.600
<v Speaker 3>who wanted to who didn't. It's a very very delicate

0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:15.840
<v Speaker 3>issue that you know, this trial, there's so many ripple

0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:18.399
<v Speaker 3>effects that will happen based on what the outcome is,

0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:21.240
<v Speaker 3>What the jury decides, what the verdict is, could affect

0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:24.920
<v Speaker 3>whether cases come forward again, whether victims come forward again,

0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:28.879
<v Speaker 3>whether people feel empowered to do what they want because

0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:32.520
<v Speaker 3>someone got away with something. You know, is this will

0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:38.000
<v Speaker 3>have long standing, a long standing impact on future cases.

0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:42.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and what's going to happen with I mean, we

0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:45.800
<v Speaker 2>have we considered the possibility that this man could walk

0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:49.240
<v Speaker 2>out of their freeman, What that's going to look like? Man,

0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:51.920
<v Speaker 2>what that's going to mean. Have we considered what it

0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:54.520
<v Speaker 2>looks like if he gets kind of a lesser charge.

0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:56.480
<v Speaker 2>Have we considered what looks like if they decide to

0:17:56.480 --> 0:17:57.280
<v Speaker 2>put him in jail for.

0:17:57.320 --> 0:18:00.440
<v Speaker 1>The rest of his life. I don't know what.

0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:03.400
<v Speaker 2>No, there is no right or wrong. I just don't

0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:08.280
<v Speaker 2>know how we react to all those scenarios. Him walking

0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:10.840
<v Speaker 2>out in the front of that courthouse. I can't imagine.

0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:12.440
<v Speaker 4>We haven't seen him since the rest.

0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:13.959
<v Speaker 2>We have not laid eyes on him.

0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:17.920
<v Speaker 4>We've got court sketch artists renderings of him.

0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:20.240
<v Speaker 1>I was just looking. Maybe I'm talking about this earlier.

0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:20.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm so tired.

0:18:20.960 --> 0:18:24.600
<v Speaker 2>I just see one of the artists drawings of the

0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:26.920
<v Speaker 2>Homeland Security agent that's on the stand. They all it

0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:30.200
<v Speaker 2>looks like Reggie Miller to me from the Indiana Pasers.

0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:33.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm big xalf to y'all.

0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:36.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm we're sketch artists. I have noticed, and I'm sure

0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:38.560
<v Speaker 3>they're phenomenal at their jobs. And I'm not trying to

0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:40.360
<v Speaker 3>knock any of them there. I think there are three

0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:42.800
<v Speaker 3>of them, but they all the people in the court

0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:44.399
<v Speaker 3>room all look ghoulish to me.

0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:48.000
<v Speaker 4>That's the best way I can describe.

0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Look have you ever.

0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:51.399
<v Speaker 2>I don't know who's considered a great court remark, but

0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:53.520
<v Speaker 2>it's they're doing this so quickly in the heat of

0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:53.879
<v Speaker 2>them all.

0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:54.520
<v Speaker 1>It's so good.

0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:57.240
<v Speaker 2>Things are moving so fast, So I I really do

0:18:57.359 --> 0:18:59.960
<v Speaker 2>give them credit. They're putting together this rendition in moments.

0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:00.879
<v Speaker 4>It's just, yeah, you're right.

0:19:01.040 --> 0:19:02.920
<v Speaker 1>I think that's so impressive that they're able to do.

0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:04.640
<v Speaker 1>But no, it's not supposed to be the Mona.

0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:08.359
<v Speaker 4>Lisa every time or like some exact science. There is

0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:10.640
<v Speaker 4>some creative license being taken place.

0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:13.040
<v Speaker 3>I just the one takeaway is that Sean Combs has

0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:15.200
<v Speaker 3>a lot of gray hair that I never realized he did.

0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:18.160
<v Speaker 1>We all do, any.

0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:22.080
<v Speaker 2>Dude, any black man you see over forty five with

0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:24.840
<v Speaker 2>a black head of hair as gray as shit. Okay,

0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:30.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm graying. I'm a full gray yet, but I'm graying.

0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:32.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh god, yeah, yes, grow the beard out. My beard

0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:33.440
<v Speaker 2>be full gray?

0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:34.200
<v Speaker 4>Would it really?

0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:38.160
<v Speaker 1>It's insane? Oh yes, we're all stopped.

0:19:38.640 --> 0:19:43.080
<v Speaker 2>He's fifty five, the jet black hair, like stop, I

0:19:43.200 --> 0:19:44.240
<v Speaker 2>love you, but come on.

0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:47.159
<v Speaker 4>Man, Oh my goodness, Oh my goodness. Yes, So you

0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:49.440
<v Speaker 4>know we this is this is it.

0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:53.840
<v Speaker 3>The defense might present or enter into evidence a few

0:19:53.960 --> 0:19:58.920
<v Speaker 3>exhibits or items, and then tomorrow the prosecution and the

0:19:58.960 --> 0:20:03.800
<v Speaker 3>defense will meet with the judge to discuss jury instructions,

0:20:04.080 --> 0:20:06.800
<v Speaker 3>and then it looks like we will have They said,

0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:08.160
<v Speaker 3>I don't know how they know this, but I guess

0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:10.520
<v Speaker 3>both the defense and the prosecution have four hours each

0:20:10.600 --> 0:20:13.280
<v Speaker 3>or their anticipatory is that what it is? Okay, so

0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:15.280
<v Speaker 3>four hours each to present their case. So that will

0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:17.960
<v Speaker 3>be full day on Thursday, and that will be fascinating.

0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:20.880
<v Speaker 3>I actually am really anticipating what they're going to say

0:20:20.920 --> 0:20:22.960
<v Speaker 3>and how they're gonna leave, what they're gonna leave the

0:20:23.040 --> 0:20:26.399
<v Speaker 3>jurors with, what their final final thoughts are.

0:20:26.440 --> 0:20:29.400
<v Speaker 4>And yes, we did four hours. That's a lot. God,

0:20:30.320 --> 0:20:33.359
<v Speaker 4>do different different attorneys take different parts of it? I

0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:34.080
<v Speaker 4>imagine you know.

0:20:34.119 --> 0:20:35.040
<v Speaker 1>What I'm not used to.

0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:38.000
<v Speaker 2>I would say no, from the real cases I remember,

0:20:38.119 --> 0:20:40.399
<v Speaker 2>I don't remember them tag teaming.

0:20:40.680 --> 0:20:41.639
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever an argument?

0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:45.879
<v Speaker 4>Have you ever witnessed a four hour closing argument?

0:20:45.960 --> 0:20:46.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so.

0:20:46.880 --> 0:20:50.520
<v Speaker 3>Like you know, I've had obviously some experiences, and I

0:20:50.640 --> 0:20:54.080
<v Speaker 3>feel like nothing lasted more than thirty minutes, and certainly

0:20:54.080 --> 0:20:55.920
<v Speaker 3>when you watch a movie or a TV show it's

0:20:55.960 --> 0:20:59.159
<v Speaker 3>like ten minutes. So four hours that will be interesting

0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:00.719
<v Speaker 3>if they actually do take all that time. That's why

0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:02.440
<v Speaker 3>I thought maybe they might tag team. They've got a

0:21:02.480 --> 0:21:05.600
<v Speaker 3>team of lawyers on both sides, so maybe each lawyer

0:21:05.680 --> 0:21:07.520
<v Speaker 3>has a different section that they're going to present.

0:21:07.560 --> 0:21:09.199
<v Speaker 4>Because also, wouldn't that make it a little bit more

0:21:09.320 --> 0:21:11.280
<v Speaker 4>interesting for the juror to be listening to?

0:21:11.480 --> 0:21:14.280
<v Speaker 3>You have to you'd be like zoning out if the

0:21:14.359 --> 0:21:17.359
<v Speaker 3>same person just stood up there for a four hour monologue,

0:21:17.400 --> 0:21:19.960
<v Speaker 3>even if it was fascinating, riveting stuff about baby oil

0:21:20.000 --> 0:21:22.520
<v Speaker 3>and freak offs, still at a certain point you glaze over.

0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:23.640
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I'm.

0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:28.600
<v Speaker 2>Okay, if this is correct. I just decided to check

0:21:28.680 --> 0:21:32.639
<v Speaker 2>closing arguments OJ Simpson four days.

0:21:33.119 --> 0:21:37.120
<v Speaker 1>What I'm what? I'm looking at it wild? I am again.

0:21:37.200 --> 0:21:38.720
<v Speaker 1>This is a quick Google search.

0:21:38.560 --> 0:21:41.399
<v Speaker 4>Folks, four days for closing argument for.

0:21:41.760 --> 0:21:48.160
<v Speaker 2>Days closing arguments in OJ trial days one through three. Wow,

0:21:49.160 --> 0:21:54.280
<v Speaker 2>recap length of closing arguments four days, length of deliberations

0:21:54.720 --> 0:21:55.679
<v Speaker 2>less than four hours.

0:21:56.480 --> 0:21:57.760
<v Speaker 1>That was in the OJ case.

0:21:57.880 --> 0:21:58.440
<v Speaker 4>That's why.

0:21:58.680 --> 0:22:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Not crazy. But yeah, it's so we're sitting here talking

0:22:00.720 --> 0:22:01.440
<v Speaker 1>about four hours.

0:22:01.800 --> 0:22:04.320
<v Speaker 4>Okay, So I guess that's quick and to the point.

0:22:04.560 --> 0:22:07.679
<v Speaker 3>So yes, But we will continue to monitor everything happening

0:22:07.720 --> 0:22:10.800
<v Speaker 3>in that Lower Manhattan courtroom. We appreciate you listening and

0:22:11.760 --> 0:22:14.160
<v Speaker 3>coming along with us to get the latest on what's

0:22:14.160 --> 0:22:15.280
<v Speaker 3>happening in the Didy trial.

<v Speaker 4>But thank you for being with us, and we hope

0:22:17.119 --> 0:22:18.560
