  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I think you know.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Today there were new developments because last night, yesterday, Diddy's
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: lawyers filed a packet, and the packet it's like over
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty pages long. I have not been
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: able to actually read all of the pages. We did
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: talk about this a bit on The Breakfast Club this morning,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: but in what I was able to read, just in
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: preparing for that segment this morning, because they also sent
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: it out pretty late. I got a text around one
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: am shooting ahead up that the packet was filed and
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: that you know, certain you know things were now available
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: for media and like, oh, just all the things from
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: a source close to the case, and I woke up
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: to that. So I've not been able to read through
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: all of the packet, but I am going to read
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: through all of the packet just because I want to
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: make sure I fully understand how they're coming about the sentence.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: They is Diddy's legal team. Just from the.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Index of the packet alone, I can tell you that,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: you know, from that and also from sitting in court,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: they're angling on what they've been talking about and where
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: they've been from the beginning, just you know, talking a
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: bit about, you know, the fact that drugs played a role,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: the fact that Diddy's upbringing and things that he experienced
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: and his upbringing, his father being taken away from him,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: being killed, a single parent household, and you know, all
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: those things, drugs in his you know, adult life, the
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: fact that the Jane Doees were willing participants of things.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: The fact that other or John's or whatever you.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Call it in a prostitutionous situation are treated a certain
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: way and sentenced a certain way. And you know, Diddy's
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: team feels like, because he is who he is, he's
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: being giving a harsher punishment and things of that nature.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: That's what it seems like they're leaning into. Without reading it,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: I'll read you guys a bit of the table of contents.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: So this basically just lads out and it's one hundred
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: and eighty two pages to be exact. I have it
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: here pulled up, so the table of contents, it begins
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: with an introduction and it goes into the argument. The
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: argument is where they're gonna lay out like, Okay, here
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: a lot of the things I just said, here's exactly
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: what we're saying, like, here's everything we're seeing to you.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Here's everything we're recounting and reciting so as you make
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: this one last final decision, these are all the things
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: we want top of mind for you to remember. So
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: they talk about mister Combs's history and characteristics. They go
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: into again his upbringing, the effect of the death of
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: his father, the dedication to his He leans a lot
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: on family, he has throughout this whole case. But he's
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: leaned a lot on family and a lot of the
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: follow up letters, uh, you know, his last request, couple
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: of requests for Belle after he was sentenced to on
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: the two charges of the Man Act, and now here
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: in this sentencing packet, and his daughters, his twin daughters,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: his son Quincy, his son Justin, and his son Christian
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: all submitted character letters as well, just talking about like
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: how good of a daddy is, why they need him,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: how important it is for him to be home. You know,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: how the the death of Christian homes and you know,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: the twin daughters, the Comes twins, their mother kim Porter,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: how her death has impacted them. And then you know,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: you take their dad, Diddy, and you put them in jail,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: and you know, the girls say their their world has
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: been shattered, and you know, and it's been devastating for them.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: As you can imagine, it's been devastating for them. But
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: they all talk about that and how good of a
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: father he is, how he's always.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: There showing up for them.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: His mom's letters are also listed in this table of contents.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: His mom talks about her age and how her health
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: is deteriorating, which there were stories in the beginning of
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: all of this when Diddy was first being arrested for
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: the indictment and going through other things of her suffering
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: a slight heart attack.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: And going through some health issues. But Diddy's mom.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Was in court every single day. Diddy's mom was there
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: like she was an attorney. There got to a point
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: where his daughters were not there. And I think, to
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: be honest with you, a lot of this stuff that
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: was being discussed, and that was, you know, being talked
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: about on the stand and just presented by the attorneys
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: on both sides.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Was very graphic. So it was kind of like a
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: couple of times that I.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Was in court and I was in the main courtroom
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: and his daughters were there, it was kind of like
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: almost like uneasy.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: For me to have to hear that and watch his
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: daughters have to hear.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: So I don't know how unsettling it was for his daughters,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: but I can only imagine because that's their dad. But yeah,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: so they weren't in court all the time, but they
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: were there. His sons were there daying there every day.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: His mom was there every single day. I think I
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: only remember one time that she did not show up.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: And not only was she showing up, but you know,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: miss Janis Combs, who was Diddy's mother, would also you know,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: she wouldn't stop and talk.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: To the media outside all the time.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: But you know, we have video of her from outside
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: of the court on the verdict day, just the crowd
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: cheering and she's blown kisses and waving. So she was
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: very well aware that there were some people still there
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: supporting Diddy and she, you know, she appreciated the love
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: and she showed that as well. But they also, you know,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: have letters from friends. Young Miami Karsha submitted a letter.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: She talks about going to the Met gallon, just did
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: he changing her life and her perspective because you know,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: he always showed her how he was able to, you know,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: break down doors and barriers for black people through his
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: black excellence. While breakdown a door is not a good
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: thing to say about Diddy in twenty twenty five.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Y'all know what I'm saying.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Basically, you know, she talks about her show and going
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: to the Met gallon, all these opportunities and how that
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: was life changing for her when he symbolizes or symbolized
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: because that's the thing too, It's like when Diddy comes home,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: what is the legacy? Now that's a major question, like
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: what is the legacy? But she talks about that, like
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: what he symbolized at one point for black people and
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: you know, having a seat at the table.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: She signs the.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Letter judge, that is a good man. Of course, that's
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: a good man in Savannah is what popped up. But
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: she signs the letter judge, that is a good man,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: his friend, and you know our entertainment. Stevie J also
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: wrote a letter to the judge and in this letter,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: and y'all know in the beginning of all that Stevie
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: J was like even before Diddy was locked up, STEVEEJ
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: was right there with him the whole time. I did
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: not see STEVIEJ at all in court, uh not while
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: I was there. I did not see him show up
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: to court where I was there on any of these
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: I was there. I didn't see him in the courtroom
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: when I was in the actual main courtroom where you
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: could see people. But I know, prior to Diddy being
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: locked up, STEVEEJ was right there with him. There was
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: videos of STEVEJ and Diddy riding bikes in Miami after
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: the indictment came down right there with him.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: STEVJ was on the TMZ dot speaking on Diddy's behalf.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: He he's just been right there, like literally right there.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: But he explains in the letter STEVEJ does and the
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: letter that STEVJ wrote, he says Diddy showed up for
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: him in a very crucial time in his life. He says,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: you know, his dad was his best friend and Stevie
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: J says his dad passed away about two years ago
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: and without even asking him, did he played for basically
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: majority of the funeral costs because that's just the good
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: hearted person that he was. That's how STEVJ paints him.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: STEVIEJ also talks about them being friends for all of
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: these decades and years, and you know, he describes himself
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: by talking about a lot of the work that STEVJ
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: himself has done with Biggie and you know, Michael Jackson
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: and all these people, because Diddy and him were friends.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: They met in the studio and he says, you know,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: did he change his life? So he speaks a lot
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: to that. He also talks about, you know, them going
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: through a battle of dealing with drugs and abuse and
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: all these different things. But STEVEJ himself being in you know,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: therapy and doing different things to help his mental health
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: and the addictions that they experience in that Diddy, you
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: know and doing the same can also be a changed man.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: He just needs a chance to do it.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: So they you know, they poured it on heavy in
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: the letters, and that's what you do in these letters,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: you know, their character statements. People want these statements attorneys
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: want these statements because they want to judge to see
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: another side of the person that they've been sitting with
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: in court and hearing all of these things about for
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: all of this time. The way that the people are
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: dragging Kreesia for submitting a letter is insane, though, like
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: people are coming for Karesha.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Now here's the thing. Whenever we've heard Karsha talk about.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: You know, everything with Diddy, everything with Puff, what she saw,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: what she did not see. I think, you know, for
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: the longest that was a question of did she experience
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: any of the abuse or just anything herself. She's always
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: said no. Now I think not even think at the
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: time when everything happened, it was very obvious that she
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: distanced herself from him, at least publicly that we knew of.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, and she's a music artist with a whole,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: big career. She has to at that point. But I
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: think the upset comes in for people because it's like, Okay,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: you didn't see it, you weren't around for her, you
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: may not have experienced it, but as a public figure,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: as a celebrity, as a female rapper and a woman
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: with platform to stand next to him, Now that you
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: have is something that we just we're not gonna condone that.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: So she has been trending all day. I believe she's
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: currently trending on Twitter right now as we speak. When
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: I before us started this show, I always just checked
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: to see with Sherindan, I do that about like five
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: times a day. But before I started this show, she
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: was trending across Twitter.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Yes, she's still trending.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: She is trending number twenty eight across the United States
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: right now because of this letter that she wrote in
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: support of Diddy, where she told the judge that is
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: a good man. Okay, Savannah, that is a good man. Now, listen, y'all,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: let me know what y'all think, because what Karesha is
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: referencing in this letter is all of the work that
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: she's saying Diddy has done to become a better person.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Everybody in these letters, Diddy's legals team, that is, you know,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: they want Diddy to get some time served, be able
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: to come home, go into rehabilitation, be supervised. They're saying
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: the time that he has been behind bars was enough
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: rehabilitation for him.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: What y'all think?
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Do you guys think that it is only fair for Diddy? Too,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: because of what he was actually convicted of, which where
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: the prostitution acts right, the man acts to count of it.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Do y'all think it's fair for Diddy to come home?
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: So Diddy's legal team is saying that it's only fair.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: It says, as discussed at length above. So this is
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: on page this is what page two, as discussed at
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: length above, the proposed sentence is the only just and
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: fair sentence for mister Colmes for all of the reasons
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: set forth here. So they talk about the guidelines. They say,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: you know, this is what the sentence guidelines say, and
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: it's what we should believe.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: And what they say is is that.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: If he is given the fourteen month sentence, there should
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: be a supervised release because they're going to want time
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: serve and he's already done about fourteen months. They talked
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: it at a thirteen months so far, so there should
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: be a supervised release. According to the Diddy's team, drug
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: treatment therapy and group therapy in the sentence, and that
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: would make it sufficient, but not greater than necessary, to
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: accomplish the traditional goal of sentencing. So basically they're saying
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: to the judge, if you want him to continue to
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: serve out what the consequence should be and not overpunish him.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Here's exactly what needs to happen, y'all. Let me know,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: do y'all think that it's fair? But also too What
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at if i'm the judge, is has he
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: actually learned his lesson in all of this? Because if
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna be honest with you guys, I mean, just
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: drop your predictions below. My prediction is that the judge
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: is not going to go for a time served in
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: the supervisor release. I think the judge I don't see
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Diddy because the acts that he's charged of are charged of.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: The acts he's convicted of carry up to twenty years
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: ten years per act, right, But the prosecutors are saying, oh,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: let's look at about four to five years. His team
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: is like a year is what we should be looking
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: at with all of these stipulations. Once he's released, and
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: here's the time he's already done. He's already done a
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: little fourteen months, a little over a year, year and
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: two months, he's already done thirteen. I don't think that
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: the judge is going to go with this because I
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: think a judge is going to continue like from the.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Yo, I thought, and I said it. I thought that.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Diddy was going to be given a bell that last
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: go around when he was found not guilty of the
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: serious of the more serious charges the Rico Act, and
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: it was just the Man Act charges. I'm like, Okay,
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: at least they'll give him a bell. He'll be able
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: to go home until the sentencing and then because I
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: didn't believe then that his sentencing or what he would
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: be sentenced would be low. I've always thought that it
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: would be somewhere around like six I thought it would
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: be around like six to eight.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: So even the.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Prosecutor saying four to five years, I think it's like,
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: I really think that a judge is going to end
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: and land somewhere around like three years.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: I don't see.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: I really don't see what the prosecutors are requesting. I
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: don't see fourteen months and all this, you know, welcome
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: home supervising because that day that that verdict happened and
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: the judge had to say, no, you're not going nowhere.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Bring that on back over here. You're not going nowhere.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: One of the biggest things he kept pointing to was
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: all of Diddy, Like all of Diddy's actions after the indictment.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Because here's the thing, and a lot of these letters, right,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: like if we go back up to page one where
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: we're talking about this introduction, right or not the introduction,
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: we're talking about this table of contents. Literally, you know
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: they talk about mister Combs being dedicated to his family.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: He was dedicated to his family before and after the RICO.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Mister his career, his work history, you know, his mom
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: and her health and all these people he's helped, and
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: you know, all the things, all the things that he
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: has on the line. The biggest point here is that
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: after that indictment, there were still things that happened. Police,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: the prosecutors say when they went to arrest Diddy, they
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: found the drugs in his room, they found the setup
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: for another alleged freak golf. There had been conversation about
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: whether he had reached out to witnesses or not. You know,
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: there's text messages and different things that were submitted, conversations
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: that we had about you know, him knowing he wasn't
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: supposed to be talking on certain phones and talking about
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: certain things, but doing certain things. Now, with all of
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: this being said, I think the biggest thing here is
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: and in the of course mean, of course there's that
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Cassie video, which is way before the indictment, but the
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: way that that was handled in the beginning has also
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: and I think, you know, people were like, oh my god,
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: it's unfair to keep bringing up the video. But these
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: character letters and in the fact that they have about
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: let me tell y'all, I think they have almost twenty
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: character references.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's is Diddy. He's a celebrity. So the you're.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Gonna have that they have about sixty. No, they have
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: over seventy letters because Exhibit seventy one is additional letters
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: of support, so they have they have almost somewhere near
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: or over a little over one hundred letters of character
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: reference support. The reason why Diddy's attorneys are leaning so
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: much into trying to clear up his character is because
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: what you saw on that video, what we saw in
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: photos as evidence in the court from the hotel he
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: was waiting in to turn himself, in the conversations we've
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: heard and you know, text message and email and voice
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: notes of just things that showed did he truly.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Understanding his power?
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: But more so, the prosecutors are kind of using what
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: the defense is saying and working it in their favor
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: very well here because Diddy's team leans a lot into
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: the drug stuff. He wasn't thinking clearly because of his addiction,
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: because of his mental health, because of things he's been through.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: The prosecutors are like, well, yeah, okay, but he needs
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: to be rehabilitated, and that doesn't happen in the time
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: that you guys are saying, and that's going to be
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: the judge's decision.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: But I do.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Think after hearing that judge give that decision on no
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: bond the last go around, after that verdict was read,
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: I don't think that this judge is going to buy
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: that Diddy has found this new form of rehabilitation within
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: these last thirteen months. I'm happy to hear because they've
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: also mentioned here that this is the first time that
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: he's been completely sober in about twenty five years. I'm
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: happy to hear that. But we all know when you
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: think about addiction, people think about addiction in the long term.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of work that's going to need to
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: be done, whether Diddy is.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Locked up or not.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: And as a judge, I think what he's thinking of is, yes,
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: you want rehabilitation, and this judge has been really really fair.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: Did he stood up and think the judge and said
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: he was fair? You know, at the at the end
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: of the trial, Stevie J. Says in his letter, thank
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: you judge for doing basically doing your job and doing
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: a great job, you know, throughout this trial.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: So that has not been the argument. They've tried to
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: bring that up.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: With the prosecutors, you know, with the prosecutors being unfair
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: and it being a white versus black thing, but that
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: didn't really stick.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: I don't see the judge leaning in here in Diddy's favor.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: I just don't because I think with everything that the
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: judge has seen and heard, and I'm talking about just
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: as of recent like the recent stuff right before he
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: was taken into custody, I think that there is screaming
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: that there's a bigger problem here and it's something that
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: if not nipped in the butt for good, it could
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: harm a lot of people.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: But it could also harm Diddy himself.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Y'all were talking about there were telling us that Diddy
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: overdosed at one point and then just you know, went
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: on about his life.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Y'all.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Let me know what y'all think, though, I want to
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: hear y'all predictions again, We're back in court in less
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: than ten days, trying to figure this out.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: I wish the best for everybody in this situation, but
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: that's just where I'm at with That's what I think.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: That is my prediction after looking at the facts, presenting
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: the facts, We're gonna keep going through these packets and
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: these There's gonna be some things that will come as
