1
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: Welcome everyone to Amy and TJ.

2
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 2: It is Thursday, June fifth, and the Didy trial is

3
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 2: about to get underway once again. This is the fourth

4
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,119
Speaker 2: full week of testimony. I'm Amy Robock along with my

5
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 2: partner TJ.

6
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 3: Holmes.

7
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 2: Starting a little later this morning than typical mornings. Testimony

8
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,639
Speaker 2: doesn't begin until eleven am, but they will begin with

9
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 2: wrapping up that cross examination of Brianna Bunglin, and she

10
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 2: certainly had a lot to say yesterday.

11
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, why are they starting late today?

12
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:35,599
Speaker 2: We don't know. There were some procedural issues, but they

13
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 2: said they were starting late. And interestingly enough, the prosecution

14
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 2: is concerned about being behind schedule right now for their

15
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 2: big star witness that may take the stand later today.

16
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 2: Jane is the pseudonym she's using, but apparently she has

17
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 2: to catch an international flight a week from today and

18
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 2: they're worried that all these delays and even starting later

19
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 2: today might cause some problems for her and that flight.

20
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, we see what happens there. But we got

21
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 3: another full day of testimony that's in the books now,

22
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 3: So let's go through what happened for everybody yesterday again.

23
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,119
Speaker 3: As we sit here at this recording court is about

24
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 3: to get underway. So no testimony as of yet, as

25
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 3: of this moment, as of this recording. So as we've

26
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 3: been doing, we'll go through what a full day that's

27
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 3: already in the books. And yes, Brianna bongle In, I

28
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 3: guess the headline that kept coming out of that was

29
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 3: she was the of course X or friend of Ditty's

30
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 3: X cause EVENTU or fine And this incident wrotes we've

31
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 3: been hearing so much about. We got it first person.

32
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 3: Brianna Bonlein is the one that we've been hearing about.

33
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 3: Was dangled over a balcony by Diddy.

34
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, she says that Diddy bangles her off that seventeen

35
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 2: floor balcony. It was Cassie's La apartment, and she testified

36
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 2: to jurors indirect testimony and in cross examination that she

37
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 2: still does not know why it happened or what he

38
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 2: meant when he said as he was she said, he

39
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 2: was dangling her over that balcony. You know what the

40
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 2: f you did? She said that Diddy was saying this repeatedly,

41
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 2: yelling that at her, and to this day she doesn't

42
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 2: know what he meant by it, but she said she

43
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 2: was shaking, she was so scared and when he finally

44
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 2: for those, she said ten to fifteen seconds she was

45
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: dangling over that balcony. He finished it by throwing her

46
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: against the patty of furniture. She says she sustained injuries

47
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 2: from that throw, and she says she still suffers, wakes

48
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 2: up screaming and is haunted by that moment, those fifteen

49
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,399
Speaker 2: seconds where she said she felt like she might die.

50
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 3: And I really, folks a reminder. This was back in

51
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 3: twenty sixteen. She was staying at a case of interrofinance

52
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 3: house her apartment out in LA with another friend. They

53
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 3: heard the banging on the door and it was remarkable

54
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 3: for her to her first instinct was to tell her

55
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 3: friend to hide in the bathroom. She told a friend

56
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 3: to go in there and be quiet. So her friend

57
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 3: and her words wrote she she didn't want her to

58
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 3: be involved and be subject to some of the stuff

59
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 3: that she had witnessed, so she essentially just kept one

60
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 3: person out of it. She didn't want her to be

61
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 3: subjected to it. So the friend didn't see it. Cassie

62
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 3: venture Fine didn't see it, so really it was only

63
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 3: Ditty and Brianna Bongaling. Cassie Sell some of the aftermaths,

64
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 3: she said, But they're going after her in the cross examination,

65
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 3: at least, trying to poke holes in her story and robes.

66
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 2: This is what.

67
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 3: Yes, we've seen defense attorneys do this. I don't know

68
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 3: how effective it is, but little things she's she can't

69
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 3: recall correctly. She told one group that she was a

70
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 3: prosecutors that she was smoking a cigarette out there, but

71
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:31,679
Speaker 3: it turns out on the stand she says she was

72
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 3: smoking weed. I know that seems minor, but point by

73
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 3: point they are going through and showing different ways that

74
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 3: she has not been accurate in her accounting of that story.

75
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,119
Speaker 3: The point being well, if she got some of these

76
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 3: details wrong or she confused, what other details could she

77
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 3: possibly be getting wrong?

78
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: That's right?

79
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 2: And she admitted on the stand that she had been

80
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 2: using cocaine and f actually talked a lot about the

81
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 2: drug use that she did with Cassie Ventura Fine and

82
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 2: with Ditty himself. She meant that they repeatedly and often

83
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 2: used marijuana, cocaine, ketamine, ecstasy, GHB. It was a long

84
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 2: list of drugs, and she said, look, we all had

85
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 2: a problem. Interestingly enough, she actually wanted to make a

86
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 2: distinction because This was something they also tried to poke

87
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 2: holes at. She said the prosecution, or at least the investigators,

88
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 2: got it wrong. They conflated to events. There was the

89
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 2: event she says that happened at Cassie Ventur's apartment where

90
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 2: she says Diddy dangled her over that balcony, But she

91
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 2: said previously, earlier in that year, in twenty sixteen, she

92
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 2: was on a photo shoot with Cassie Ventur Fine, and

93
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 2: she said Diddy came up to her, got right in

94
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 2: her face and said, I'm the devil and I could

95
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 2: kill you. She says that she doesn't know what prompted it,

96
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,239
Speaker 2: but that that happened, that she was terrified, and even

97
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 2: though that all occurred, she claims she still continued to

98
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 2: see Sean Combs, she still continued to see Cassie Ventur.

99
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: She still continued to put herself.

100
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 2: In their world and around them, and that's what defense

101
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 2: attorneys were also trying to come at her similar to

102
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 2: what they did with me, And why would you keep

103
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 2: coming back? Why would you stay in the same vicinity

104
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 2: with someone who basically said that they were the devil

105
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 2: and could possibly kill you. And she just really didn't

106
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 2: have a good answer for that.

107
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 3: Look, there was a lot of I don't remember, I

108
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 3: don't recall, I don't remember, I don't remember, I don't remember.

109
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 3: That's effective where it can be, or is the reason

110
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 3: that defense attorneys do this, because if you can't remember

111
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 3: that part of the story, then maybe you're not remembering

112
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 3: the other part of the story. They did get at

113
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 3: her motivation. She does have a ten million dollar lawsuit

114
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 3: pending against Sean Diddy Combs right now. She her words,

115
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 3: she said, yes, I don't want the ten million. If

116
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 3: you would take this memory away, that's fine, and we understand,

117
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 3: but she is it is worth noting. But this is

118
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 3: the first time we have actually attached a name to it.

119
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 3: This story. We've heard about so many times about the

120
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 3: balcony situation. Cassie been ter refined had this in her lawsuit?

121
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 3: She said she asked. Brianna Bonglean says she was asked

122
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 3: by Cassie if she could put that in her lawsuit

123
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 3: aim and she said nope. So that's why we haven't

124
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 3: gotten the name yet. But she's another Robes that's under

125
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 3: an immunity deal and to be up there on the stand,

126
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 3: you can see why she talked about a lot of

127
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 3: drug use, even selling drugs at some point to people.

128
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, she actually her testimony was delayed a little bit

129
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 2: yesterday because she had to wait for the judge to

130
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 2: give her that immunity order. And surely when she started testifying,

131
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 2: you could understand why. And she did say that cassievan

132
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 2: touurfind did put that incident, of course in her lawsuit,

133
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 2: she just wasn't allowed to name her. And so now

134
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 2: you're right, this is the first time we were actually

135
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 2: attaching a name to that incident that we've heard so

136
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 2: much about. So when she takes the stand, actually momentarily,

137
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 2: defense attorneys say they still have anywhere from forty five

138
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 2: minutes to an hour left to cross examine her, so

139
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 2: they're still not done. We don't know what else they

140
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 2: want to try and say or do to discredit her.

141
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 2: But she's back up in the stand and she'll be

142
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 2: there for a little while. And because this is taking

143
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 2: longer than expected, we were initially expecting Enrique Santos to

144
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 2: take the stand after Breonna Bonglan is done today. He

145
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 2: was due to make an appearance to basically set up

146
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 2: the testimony for this Jane Doe character.

147
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: We've heard so much.

148
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 2: The third and potentially final alleged victim of Seawan Comb's,

149
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 2: Jane Doe is or was, excuse me, a girlfriend of

150
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 2: Sean Ditecombs, and she we believe was a part of

151
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 2: all of these freak offs, and she certainly says that

152
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 2: she too was abused, So so much anticipation about what

153
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 2: she's going to say, but unclear what Enrico Santas was

154
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: going to be able to to add to.

155
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: This or at least set her up.

156
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 2: We were told that perhaps he might be able to

157
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 2: explain some texts that the jury's about to see that

158
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 2: might shed some light into how you take Jane Doe's testimony,

159
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 2: but we don't know. Now. The prosecution saying it's going

160
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 2: so late and they're so concerned about Jane Doe's timeline

161
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 2: that they don't know if they can afford to put

162
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 2: Enrico Santos up on the witness stand.

163
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: So that's to be TVD.

164
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's has always been fourth of July. I think

165
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 3: they were trying to wrap things up, and then the

166
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 3: prosecution was doing so great, We're head of schedule, and

167
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 3: now all of a sudden, we're behind schedule, and the

168
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 3: defense has already talked about they're reordering some of their

169
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 3: folks on their list. So we don't know. I mean,

170
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 3: from recent indications, if you're reading Teelee used July fourth

171
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 3: seems like a bit of a pipe dream. The judge

172
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 3: wants it though. The judge absolutely wants that date and

173
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 3: wants him to stick to it, and he's tried to

174
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 3: move things along at several places. But even if they

175
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 3: have thirty to forty five minutes, so much of the

176
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 3: stuff that has been taking so much time, as all

177
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 3: these sidebars. They got to send the jury out so

178
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 3: they can argue about something in the courtroom. And look,

179
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 3: this is a bunch of a man's life is on

180
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 3: the line, period, So I would argue, you take all

181
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 3: the time you need on this thing, but there have

182
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 3: been so many delays because of sidebars.

183
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. The judge actually even said late yesterday, I don't

184
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 2: know that the jurors were loving us because they've been

185
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 2: wrapping up around three pm Eastern time each day. The

186
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 2: judge suggested that perhaps they could have the jury start

187
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 2: to stay later on the days when Jane Doe is

188
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 2: testifying when she's on the stand, but he said that

189
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 2: the late they could probably delay it to was four

190
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 2: pm tomorrow because of a scheduling issue, but we may

191
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 2: see longer days starting next week.

192
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: And this is actually a note. If Jane Doe actually.

193
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 2: Takes the stand today TJ and begins her testimony, they're

194
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 2: worried about her catching a flight a week from today.

195
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 2: That's hard to imagine that they think she might be

196
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 2: on the stand for that many days. That seems wild

197
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 2: to me because the most we've seen, how long did

198
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 2: Cassie testify for?

199
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: Three four days?

200
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 3: Maybe I think maybe twenty hours on the stand total

201
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 3: is what it was, but I think it went over

202
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 3: three days at least.

203
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 2: And that was they were on a stort deadline and

204
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 2: timeline with her because she was literally about to give birth,

205
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 2: so they were sensitive to her medical condition and tried

206
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 2: to speed things up. But that seems wild to me

207
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 2: that there was any concern on and maybe they're just posturing.

208
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 2: I don't know that the prosecution was concerned that somehow

209
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 2: that would be an issue for her to catch this

210
00:09:53,160 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 2: flight next Thursday, but we shall see about that. Also,

211
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 2: of note, I wanted to bring this up because yesterday's

212
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 2: podcast I actually was wondering who recorded that surveillance video.

213
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 2: We were talking about how the surveillance video that was

214
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 2: so much a part of yesterday's testimony, how it was released,

215
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 2: how it got out. If Eddie Garcia, the security guard,

216
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 2: gave Ditty the only copy in that USB guard to

217
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 2: of the video, who recorded it on their cell phone.

218
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 2: You were saying, that was what happened. Someone recorded it

219
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 2: from their cell phone. Well we found out who it was.

220
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 2: It was another security guard and the reason was kind

221
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 2: of crazy.

222
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 3: I like to give people grace, and I do, and

223
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 3: you caught up in the moment you're seeing this thing.

224
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 3: But he said he only recorded it because he wanted

225
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 3: to show it to his wife. Now, this is an

226
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 3: issue here. Every single day we have a Ditty episode

227
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 3: of any kind, someone else comes up and you go, wow,

228
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 3: that was another person who saw crime take place and

229
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 3: did nothing. That's tough. They were just so we talk

230
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 3: about enablers, and we talk about people that were around Diddy,

231
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 3: but there are so many people outside of Ditty's world

232
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 3: who got a glimpse into it and had photographic video

233
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 3: evidence of it and did nothing. Some people got paid

234
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 3: off to not call the police and say we just

235
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 3: saw this man beat the shit out of this woman.

236
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: That's it.

237
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 3: These are these are tough. We're hearing more and more

238
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 3: of these stories. It's just that's and to think for

239
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 3: something as mundane and stupid as I just want to

240
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 3: show my wife, that's horrific. And I'm sorry to this

241
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 3: to the security guard. I don't know what your circumstances are.

242
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 3: I don't know what was going on at the time,

243
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 3: and I just want to give people grace in a moment.

244
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 3: But that is it. A lot of this is tough

245
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 3: to get your head around.

246
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: It really is.

247
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 2: We were talking about it yesterday because when that came

248
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 2: out that that was the reason.

249
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: He said, you know, here's the deal.

250
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 2: I saw it, and I wanted to tell my wife

251
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 2: about it, but I knew if I told my wife

252
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 2: what I saw, she wouldn't leave me. So I had

253
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 2: to have evidence proof for her to believe me that

254
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 2: I just saw Sean Diddycombs beating up his then girlfriend

255
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 2: Cassie Vntura Fine, and that is the only reason. It

256
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 2: wasn't for money, it wasn't for protection or insurance, which

257
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 2: is what we were possibly thinking it was. It was

258
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 2: simply to say, look what happened. It was voyeurism, and yes,

259
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 2: nothing was done about a crime that clearly they both

260
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 2: witnessed watching and he was so excited to show his

261
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 2: wife what he saw. It makes you feel a little

262
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 2: sick to your stomach. And again not trying to judge anyone,

263
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 2: but it's just all of the of the people who

264
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 2: dropped the ball or made an excuse or had an

265
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 2: ulterior motive, or even maybe just the worst part of

266
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 2: you just came out and you thought, wow, this is

267
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 2: cool or fun. And people, you know, we all get

268
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 2: caught up in it with clickbait, watching other people suffer,

269
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 2: watching unspeakable acts and not recognizing the human toll and

270
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 2: the human costs and what our responsibility it is as

271
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 2: human beings to report it, to acknowledge it, to do

272
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 2: something about it, but not just to sit back and

273
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 2: either laugh at it or gawk at it. And I

274
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 2: think that was just for whatever reason that stood out

275
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 2: so much to me yesterday, and again not to throw

276
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 2: a stone, because all of us are guilty of it

277
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 2: in some way, shape or form.

278
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: If we're watching, you know, it's like watching a train wreck.

279
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 2: People say they use that phrase all the time, but

280
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 2: this was just such an egregious example of it. It

281
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 2: just stood out and made it like there's so many

282
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 2: moments in this trial, sadly where you just feel sick

283
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 2: to your stomach and think about how let down so

284
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 2: many of these women were by the people who were

285
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 2: either closest to them or the people who had direct

286
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 2: knowledge of what was happening.

287
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 3: What they feared him. They feared for their lives, They

288
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 3: feared for their jobs and careers, they feared financially, they

289
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 3: feared You keep hearing people on the stand who are

290
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 3: around him, who were in his world, who worked for him,

291
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 3: say they feared him. These are now four extra people,

292
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 3: four people who weren't in his world, who who didn't

293
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 3: receive threats of violence from him over the years, who

294
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 3: weren't beaten. Who were These are four people who saw

295
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 3: video evidence of a horrific crime. They saw a woman

296
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 3: get beat and three of them took money not to

297
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 3: say something, and the other one went home to show

298
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 3: his wife and have the two of them just gawk

299
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 3: at it. This was eight years ago, and that's tough,

300
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 3: and that's just tough. And the guy the video, they

301
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 3: went through it. The jury saw it so much yesterday

302
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 3: and maybe we should all consider this. The jury saw

303
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 3: it a bunch because the prosecution had the video forensic

304
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 3: expert up there, going through frame by frame and explaining

305
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 3: a lot of stuff. I think it was called tedious testimony,

306
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 3: but it was necessary testimony. Fine, But they saw a

307
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 3: bunch with the prosecution. And then the defense got up

308
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 3: and showed the video some more and frame by frame

309
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 3: and stopping it and stop. And the theory goes robes

310
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 3: is that you show it to the jury enough, they

311
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 3: might become desensitized to it.

312
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: That's terrible.

313
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 3: You might get them to a point to where, oh, yeah,

314
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 3: we've seen that video and it stops being the horror

315
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 3: show that it is. That legal experts are looking at

316
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 3: it those two way. Yes, the prosecution wants to show

317
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 3: it to you right, just to burn it in your memory,

318
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 3: But maybe you want to show it so much? Are

319
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 3: we all now when that video pops up? Do we

320
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 3: look at it and just go, yeah, there it is again?

321
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 3: Do do we not get horrified every time anymore?

322
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, babe, I just got chills.

323
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 2: I hadn't even thought about that as a defense tactic,

324
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 2: and that makes me even feel worse. I Mean, we've

325
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 2: talked about this as journalists covering all of these school

326
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 2: shootings that at a certain point people do get desensitized.

327
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 2: Oh how many kids died? How many people died? And

328
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 2: then that makes it more important or less important.

329
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 3: How many people have done that high school shooting? Oh,

330
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 3: four dead? Okay, not a big deal, because we're used

331
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 3: to the fifteen in the twenties and the thirties and

332
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 3: all these shootings. Yeah, are you who if you're listening,

333
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 3: have you been guilty of that? Do we do that?

334
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 3: I don't know. It's just so much and everything seems

335
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 3: like a tragedy, and everything seemed horrific. But I don't know.

336
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 3: We've become desensitized to monsters, even to a certain degree,

337
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 3: because we're used to so much bad behavior. I suppose

338
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 3: I don't know this one got me, and I'd say

339
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 3: it every day, like, oh, I didn't know this person

340
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 3: was in on it too. Oh I didn't know this

341
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 3: person saw it too. Man, A bunch of people could

342
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 3: have picked up the phone.

343
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 2: And you know what we say every time we cover

344
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 2: anything like a school shooting or anything that seems to

345
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 2: be repeated or happening over years, where people turn to

346
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 2: blind eye or got desensitized to it. We keep saying,

347
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 2: this time, people will wake up. This time, people will

348
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 2: act differently. This time, people will change how they feel

349
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 2: and react and really take note of these moments and say,

350
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 2: I'm going to do better.

351
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: I'm going to be better next time. And so you know,

352
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: I was. I'm hopeful.

353
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 2: I'll always try to remain hopeful that seeing and hearing

354
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 2: what's happening in that courtroom and seeing witness after witness

355
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 2: say basically the same thing, and hearing from a witness

356
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 2: saying that Sean detecombs himself, called himself the devil. You know,

357
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 2: I hope that there will be changes and people will

358
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 2: feel empowered to speak up and to speak out to

359
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 2: know that there can be justice. But it can't happen

360
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 2: unless people come forward. It can't happen unless you do

361
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,959
Speaker 2: the hard thing and the right thing, and instead of

362
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 2: acting out of fear, you act out of love. And

363
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 2: that's a really hard thing to do, and it's a

364
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 2: really hard switch to flip sometimes. But that is my takeaway,

365
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 2: and I hope as we continue to watch this trial,

366
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 2: that can be more people's takeaways.

367
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 3: All right, well, folks, we will continue to keep you

368
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 3: informed here Again. A later start to the day today

369
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 3: as we record this here on Thursday, June fifth, so

370
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 3: a later start as we record this, but it could

371
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 3: be a longer day in court. They could possibly go

372
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 3: a little longer. We'll update you on that tomorrow, but
