Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: George.
- 0:02Speaker 2: I'm a homegrowl that knows a little bit about everything
- 0:04Speaker 2: and everybody.
- 0:06Speaker 1: I don't know if you don't lie about that, right,
- 0:07Speaker 1: Lauren came in, Hey, y'all was up. It's Laura l.
- 0:10Speaker 1: Rosa and this is the Latest with Laura L. Rosa.
- 0:13Speaker 2: Your daily dig your daily breakdown, an easy digestible one
- 0:17Speaker 2: too at that we love a good snack of all
- 0:20Speaker 2: things pop culture, entertainment, news and the conversations that shake
- 0:24Speaker 2: the room. Now, you guys know, I love to keep
- 0:27Speaker 2: y'all up to date, but more than anything, I love.
- 0:30Speaker 1: To take y'all a court. To take y'all a court.
- 0:33Speaker 2: So today, while on air for Breakfast Club, I got
- 0:37Speaker 2: a text that something was coming. Then there was a
- 0:40Speaker 2: story that broke via TMC's website of Diddy and a
- 0:45Speaker 2: filing that was filed on Diddy's behalf.
- 0:49Speaker 1: Now we had kind of predicted this in the room.
- 0:52Speaker 2: I know, we talked about this here on the Latest
- 0:54Speaker 2: with Laura Rosa as well that since former Prosecutor Camy
- 0:59Speaker 2: was like, I had already had an inkling that if
- 1:02Speaker 2: I was, you know, Diddy's team, one of the things
- 1:05Speaker 2: I would do is try for that bond again. You know,
- 1:07Speaker 2: and try to get him home to await his sentencing,
- 1:10Speaker 2: which is going to go down on October third. Now,
- 1:13Speaker 2: the reason why I said then that I thought that
- 1:16Speaker 2: this would be smart was because even though the final
- 1:18Speaker 2: decision is up to a judge, the prosecutors are the
- 1:21Speaker 2: people who've laid out all this information, and if at
- 1:23Speaker 2: all there is any hiccup with the prosecution, it can
- 1:28Speaker 2: potentially favor Diddy on his side. Now, I found it
- 1:31Speaker 2: interesting that in this request for bail, it's a fifty
- 1:34Speaker 2: million dollar bell package, which is not a crazy number
- 1:37Speaker 2: or number we haven't heard before. If you guys remember
- 1:40Speaker 2: months ago, back in September of twenty twenty four, did
- 1:43Speaker 2: he had actually offered a fifty million dollar bell package,
- 1:47Speaker 2: and his plan was to put up his mom's home,
- 1:49Speaker 2: a couple of the Miami properties other collateral. He said,
- 1:53Speaker 2: you know, he would stay away from any woman, and
- 1:55Speaker 2: there'd be like a signing sheet of who goes in
- 1:56Speaker 2: his home, and you know, he wouldn't.
- 1:58Speaker 1: Fly and all these things.
- 2:01Speaker 2: So they basically just took that same ball package offer
- 2:03Speaker 2: because of course, you want to have a good number.
- 2:05Speaker 1: You want to put up as much as you can.
- 2:07Speaker 2: Because the point is to make the court believe that
- 2:11Speaker 2: you have so much on the line, you're not going
- 2:12Speaker 2: to mess up at all while on that baill, nor
- 2:15Speaker 2: will you try and flee before a court can sentence
- 2:17Speaker 2: you to face whatever consequences it is for your crime.
- 2:21Speaker 1: So that's not new. They altered it a little bit,
- 2:23Speaker 1: but that is not new.
- 2:24Speaker 2: So the new bill package that they're proposing is a
- 2:27Speaker 2: fifty million dollar bond secured by mister Colmbs's home in Miami.
- 2:31Speaker 1: So now it's only the one home.
- 2:33Speaker 2: The bond will be co signed by three financially responsible people.
- 2:37Speaker 2: Colmes will residing his home in Miami. Colmbs' travel will
- 2:40Speaker 2: be limited to the Southern District of Florida the Southern
- 2:42Speaker 2: District of New York for attorney meetings, as well as
- 2:45Speaker 2: airports necessary to travel between the two. Now this is
- 2:47Speaker 2: a little different because originally, and it's been updated probably
- 2:50Speaker 2: like I would say, two times since the original one
- 2:53Speaker 2: that I keep referencing.
- 2:54Speaker 1: But originally they were mentioning Jersey.
- 2:56Speaker 2: Being one of the places that Diddy could travel to
- 2:58Speaker 2: as well and again and there were multiple different assets listen,
- 3:02Speaker 2: including his mother's home. I do think it's interesting that
- 3:06Speaker 2: they're offering up the bond for the home, like the
- 3:10Speaker 2: home is the asset, right, But then at the same
- 3:13Speaker 2: time they're saying he'll be residing in this home, It's like, Okay,
- 3:17Speaker 2: we want to put together this is very favorable bond package, right.
- 3:21Speaker 2: We want to put together it's very favorable bell package. Right.
- 3:24Speaker 2: We want to put up so much that you believe
- 3:27Speaker 2: that we know we got too much on the line
- 3:29Speaker 2: to lose.
- 3:30Speaker 1: The way that we can do that. We're offering you money,
- 3:33Speaker 1: we're offering you assets.
- 3:34Speaker 2: But basically I'm telling you, I'm going this is the
- 3:36Speaker 2: place where I'm laying my head that I'm giving it
- 3:40Speaker 2: to you right in your hands. This is important to me.
- 3:42Speaker 2: I thought that that was, you know, something worth calling
- 3:45Speaker 2: out as well. They also mentioned that Diddy will be
- 3:48Speaker 2: placed under express supervision of the US Pre Trial Services
- 3:53Speaker 2: Agency and that he'll be reporting to the agency as
- 3:56Speaker 2: directed by the agency.
- 3:59Speaker 1: Before that mentioned.
- 4:00Speaker 2: Something like almost kind of like a house arrest type
- 4:03Speaker 2: of thing where like there was like check in and
- 4:05Speaker 2: you know, like he would be on lockdown essentially, And
- 4:08Speaker 2: that's what they're proposing here, is like it'll be very
- 4:10Speaker 2: heavily supervised, it'll be expedited the minute that he can
- 4:13Speaker 2: get out of here and we can get them set
- 4:14Speaker 2: up with that, that is what we're gonna do. And
- 4:15Speaker 2: then lastly they say that Diddy's passport will be surrendered
- 4:19Speaker 2: to pre trial services and he won't be allowed to
- 4:22Speaker 2: apply for another passport in court on the final day
- 4:25Speaker 2: of court when he was not granted bail right then
- 4:28Speaker 2: and there, his attorney's made it clear then too, like
- 4:31Speaker 2: we literally have his passport right now in our physical possession.
- 4:34Speaker 2: They're just trying to show that he is going to
- 4:37Speaker 2: abide by the rules this time.
- 4:39Speaker 1: Now. Backing this up, The reason why.
- 4:43Speaker 2: Again I mentioned I believe that they're filing for this
- 4:45Speaker 2: is because there have been some hiccups when it comes
- 4:48Speaker 2: to the prosecution. We still to this day do not
- 4:52Speaker 2: know why US Attorney Komi, who was the lead attorney
- 4:57Speaker 2: for the government on this case against Ditty, she was
- 5:00Speaker 2: let go. But there has been a conversation of overreach.
- 5:03Speaker 2: Was this a government overreach the way that they tried
- 5:06Speaker 2: to frame or angle this case when it came to Diddy. Now,
- 5:11Speaker 2: I don't know enough, nor does anyone know enough to
- 5:14Speaker 2: point to that when we look at why did his
- 5:17Speaker 2: team would think that now would be any different than
- 5:20Speaker 2: before when a judge said no to bail, because if
- 5:22Speaker 2: you think about it, everything the judge mentioned as far
- 5:25Speaker 2: as why they didn't believe that he should be let
- 5:27Speaker 2: go until sentencing, it's still the same. The judge mentioned
- 5:31Speaker 2: the video from Cassie and the violence that that showed.
- 5:35Speaker 2: That video is still there, that video still in the
- 5:37Speaker 2: judge's mind. The judge talked about did he not having
- 5:40Speaker 2: regard for the law essentially and just kind of doing
- 5:42Speaker 2: whatever he wanted to do. That thought based on what
- 5:46Speaker 2: we heard in the courtroom over these last couple of weeks,
- 5:49Speaker 2: it's still there. Regardless of what he was found guilty
- 5:51Speaker 2: of or not. It's still there now. I think DIDNY
- 5:54Speaker 2: team is doing the right thing. I mean, it's their
- 5:56Speaker 2: job too, but they're doing the right thing by leaning
- 5:57Speaker 2: into laws. So throughout this docum, and I want to
- 6:00Speaker 2: read some episodes from the document, they point out some
- 6:02Speaker 2: things that, you know, I think they're able to now
- 6:05Speaker 2: more clearly cite back up information for than within the
- 6:10Speaker 2: time that.
- 6:10Speaker 1: They were given to do it.
- 6:11Speaker 2: Right after they proposed the idea of didn't get in bail,
- 6:14Speaker 2: it was literally like we had hours that we waited
- 6:17Speaker 2: versus Now it's been weeks and days for them to
- 6:19Speaker 2: be able to, you know, provide more case law and
- 6:21Speaker 2: things to back up their argument. So what they're saying
- 6:25Speaker 2: is is that first of all, the district Court must
- 6:28Speaker 2: find by clear and convincing evidence. This is in the
- 6:31Speaker 2: first opening pages of their submission for a bill request.
- 6:34Speaker 2: They say, the district Court must find by clear and
- 6:36Speaker 2: convincing evidence that the person is not likely to flee
- 6:39Speaker 2: or pose a danger to the safety of any other
- 6:43Speaker 2: person or the community if released. Second, it must be
- 6:47Speaker 2: clearly shown that there are exceptional reasons why such person's
- 6:51Speaker 2: detention would not be appropriate. Now they're like, look, this
- 6:56Speaker 2: is everything we need to show you, and we have
- 6:58Speaker 2: no problem with doing that. So the first thing that
- 7:00Speaker 2: they bring up is and you know, this is a
- 7:03Speaker 2: conversation that they've been having in the world, honestly, has
- 7:06Speaker 2: been having since did he was convicted of the two
- 7:09Speaker 2: Man Act counts right that deal with prostitution. So they
- 7:13Speaker 2: look the history of the Man Act and the way
- 7:15Speaker 2: that this has always been used. No one has ever
- 7:18Speaker 2: been jailed presentencing in the document, they say in the
- 7:22Speaker 2: lifestyle that he and other adults voluntarily chose, mister Combs
- 7:26Speaker 2: will be called a swinger, but in the vocabulary of
- 7:29Speaker 2: the man act or of prostitution, generally, he might at
- 7:33Speaker 2: worst be somewhat recognized as a john, someone who pays
- 7:38Speaker 2: to have sex with a sex worker, in this case,
- 7:41Speaker 2: a male sex worker, more particularly a male sex worker
- 7:44Speaker 2: who works for and is vetted by a well known
- 7:48Speaker 2: company or agency, which is the agency it was like
- 7:52Speaker 2: the Cowboys or the Cowgirls agency that they reference a
- 7:54Speaker 2: lot in Diddy's trial, So they're they're already framing him
- 7:58Speaker 2: as a john. This is the're framing him as a john.
- 8:01Speaker 2: And basically they're saying, look, there's no other person in
- 8:04Speaker 2: these cases, from what we can find, who was considered
- 8:07Speaker 2: a john the same way he would be considered that
- 8:09Speaker 2: hasn't been able to go home while they're await sentencing.
- 8:13Speaker 2: They also then point out that from what they can
- 8:15Speaker 2: find in the history of this act, there is no
- 8:18Speaker 2: evidence of someone having to sit in jail while waiting
- 8:22Speaker 2: to be sitting They're basically like, look, y'all have never
- 8:25Speaker 2: done this before in this case, and what he's actually
- 8:29Speaker 2: found guilty of is not exceptional to the point where
- 8:33Speaker 2: y'all need to do it now, so please help us understand.
- 8:36Speaker 1: They're leaning on the law heavy.
- 8:37Speaker 2: The judge and the prosecutors leaned on Diddy's actions. Diddy's
- 8:41Speaker 2: team is like, we acknowledged those actions, which I think, honestly,
- 8:45Speaker 2: you're not going to get around them. I don't think
- 8:47Speaker 2: that Diddy will be granted a bell this time. I
- 8:49Speaker 2: really don't. But the judge and the prosecutors from the
- 8:52Speaker 2: beginning said, we're not going to act like this didn't happen.
- 8:55Speaker 2: And on top of us acting like not acting like
- 8:57Speaker 2: it didn't happen because we saw on video our testimony
- 9:01Speaker 2: of it. You guys stood here in court for the
- 9:03Speaker 2: first week of court and admitted to all of these things.
- 9:06Speaker 2: There is not enough in front of me as the judge, right,
- 9:08Speaker 2: I'm speaking hypothetically as a judge where I feel like
- 9:11Speaker 2: all of those things that you admitted to and that
- 9:13Speaker 2: I heard of and that we witnessed are counteracted, where
- 9:17Speaker 2: he's rehabilitated enough right where I can believe that these
- 9:22Speaker 2: things won't happen. And again we talked about here on
- 9:25Speaker 2: the Latest with Laura La Rosa. The last time we
- 9:27Speaker 2: talked about Diddy and him, you know, being in a
- 9:29Speaker 2: rehabilitation program. We talked about the optics of that and
- 9:33Speaker 2: the reason why if I'm Diddy, regardless if I really
- 9:36Speaker 2: want to be really rehabilitated or not, why I would
- 9:39Speaker 2: do that now. I don't know if at some point
- 9:41Speaker 2: his team tries to bring that into the conversation here,
- 9:44Speaker 2: because if we're being honest, it's a bit too early
- 9:47Speaker 2: to claim, Hey, he's doing better now. He's only been
- 9:52Speaker 2: in a program, but some weeks if that.
- 9:56Speaker 1: Now.
- 9:56Speaker 2: Diddy seem also call out the fact that, you know,
- 9:59Speaker 2: the man act as a hundre and fifteen years old,
- 10:01Speaker 2: it's outdated. People think of sex differently, so being a
- 10:04Speaker 2: swinger living in lifestyle that you know, Diddy and his girlfriends,
- 10:07Speaker 2: including Cassie Ventora were living. It's not a crime. It's
- 10:11Speaker 2: just a way of life for some people. But he's
- 10:13Speaker 2: being treated like it was a crime. We've talked a
- 10:15Speaker 2: lot about that here, you guys know what I'm referencing.
- 10:17Speaker 2: But something new that they mentioned. They talked about how
- 10:20Speaker 2: MDC Brooklyn, which is the location where Diddy is, the
- 10:24Speaker 2: conditions of the jail and why that based on other
- 10:27Speaker 2: case law that they cite as a look, y'all did
- 10:30Speaker 2: that over here should be a sufficient reason for him
- 10:33Speaker 2: to be released. So they say, number one, the jail
- 10:36Speaker 2: has continued reports of inordinate periods of lockdown. They say,
- 10:40Speaker 2: number two, there are claims that the facility provides inadequate
- 10:43Speaker 2: or substantially delayed necessary medical care, a particular risk in
- 10:48Speaker 2: this case because Diddy has had, you know, his own
- 10:53Speaker 2: health things. There was, you know, the reports of him
- 10:55Speaker 2: going to the hospital and having to be taken out
- 10:57Speaker 2: of the hospital late in the middle of the night
- 10:59Speaker 2: because of a health scare of some sort. Number Three,
- 11:02Speaker 2: they cite general issues about the conditions at the facility.
- 11:06Speaker 2: These conditions have not abated in mister Colmbs's detention at
- 11:09Speaker 2: the facility, as the court is aware. During mister combs
- 11:11Speaker 2: incarceration at the NBC, the facility was subject to an
- 11:16Speaker 2: interagency SUITEP that was designed to achieve our shared goal
- 11:20Speaker 2: of maintaining a safe environment for both our employees and
- 11:24Speaker 2: the incarcerated individual's house at in DC Brooklyn, And that
- 11:27Speaker 2: was a statement from the jail.
- 11:28Speaker 1: In other words, Diddy's.
- 11:29Speaker 2: Offense team says, there's a significant issue at MDC Brooklyn
- 11:33Speaker 2: that obviously relates to the safety of employees and incarcerated
- 11:37Speaker 2: individuals that require outside law enforcement to come in and
- 11:40Speaker 2: take action because MDC as a jail didn't have significant
- 11:45Speaker 2: law enforcement.
- 11:46Speaker 1: The presence of law enforcement.
- 11:48Speaker 2: They mentioned that throughout the walls of the facility he's
- 11:51Speaker 2: in for twenty four hours of the day. At some
- 11:53Speaker 2: points there's insufficient safety precaution has been taken place, and
- 11:58Speaker 2: they point back to but very subtly because I think
- 12:00Speaker 2: they don't want to lean into heavy year because it
- 12:02Speaker 2: can kind of look crazy on them because it's like,
- 12:04Speaker 2: he's a celebrity, but so what he committed a crime?
- 12:06Speaker 2: But they subtly hints at They say, because Sean Colmes
- 12:10Speaker 2: is in an exceptional situation as a post verdict pre
- 12:14Speaker 2: sentence inmate at MDC. Now, there is nothing about someone
- 12:19Speaker 2: who has found guilty of a crime going to jail
- 12:24Speaker 2: that is exceptional. I can understand their argument of no
- 12:28Speaker 2: one else has been jailed for this, and that's a conversation.
- 12:33Speaker 2: But if you say that, you know, just his post
- 12:37Speaker 2: verdict and pre sentenced confinement is exceptional. And then you
- 12:41Speaker 2: point out things like they're not being adequate safety or
- 12:45Speaker 2: enough resources, or you know, they don't respond to medical
- 12:48Speaker 2: things all in the right time. I'm not saying that
- 12:51Speaker 2: this is right, but these are things that we hear
- 12:54Speaker 2: people complain about and that we see people fighting against
- 12:56Speaker 2: for their loved ones every single day when it comes
- 13:00Speaker 2: to these prisons in these jails. So when I read
- 13:04Speaker 2: this line, I'm like, it would be much better if
- 13:07Speaker 2: you guys just said what y'all are saying, because for
- 13:10Speaker 2: everything you allege that the jail is lacking or inadequate of,
- 13:14Speaker 2: they're gonna come back with an answer of how they
- 13:16Speaker 2: fix it or how it's not lacking or inadequate because
- 13:18Speaker 2: they don't want a lawsuits and you.
- 13:20Speaker 1: Can't just I mean you really.
- 13:22Speaker 2: If I'm Diddy's team, I wouldn't even lean into the celebrity.
- 13:27Speaker 1: Of it all.
- 13:27Speaker 2: And it's more of like and not even like he's
- 13:30Speaker 2: a celebrity. Oh my god, he shouldn't be living like this.
- 13:32Speaker 2: It's more of the celebrity of the case. If every
- 13:37Speaker 2: day inmates are not being kept saved and every day
- 13:39Speaker 2: employees are not being kept safe, with the celebrity of
- 13:42Speaker 2: the case, this should be an exceptional reason why we
- 13:46Speaker 2: should be able to move for him to come home
- 13:49Speaker 2: and wait until a sentencing. But I think you there's
- 13:52Speaker 2: a really slippery slope there. Wow, you can't even say
- 13:54Speaker 2: slippery slope when you talk about this, and then the
- 13:57Speaker 2: baby will there's a really slippery slope there though, when
- 14:00Speaker 2: you have a conversation about this, because I get what
- 14:02Speaker 2: they're saying.
- 14:02Speaker 1: But at the same time.
- 14:04Speaker 2: A judge has already had weeks of testimony presented in
- 14:09Speaker 2: front of him in evidence that he said to watch
- 14:12Speaker 2: in a jury who's decided on certain things where it's
- 14:16Speaker 2: kind of like, you know, the narrative has been because
- 14:19Speaker 2: of this man's money, power and celebrity, he's been able
- 14:22Speaker 2: to do these things and go about his everyday life
- 14:25Speaker 2: as if things are fine. And that's kind of what
- 14:27Speaker 2: the judge you know, talk briefly about when making his
- 14:33Speaker 2: decision for Bill the last time. It's like, these are
- 14:36Speaker 2: things that you blatantly ignored the rules of the court on.
- 14:43Speaker 2: So if you'll do that for whatever circumstance or whatever reason,
- 14:46Speaker 2: because of who you are, because of the power, because
- 14:48Speaker 2: of whatever, we can't trust it. And you've shown us
- 14:52Speaker 2: that you have no regard for authority because of these things.
- 14:57Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens y'all at this point.
- 15:00Speaker 2: Now, what normally happens is you know, the prosecution will have,
- 15:04Speaker 2: you know, some time to respond, so that should probably
- 15:06Speaker 2: be coming out within the next day. I give it
- 15:07Speaker 2: twenty four hours before they respond, because it's going to
- 15:10Speaker 2: be textbook response.
- 15:11Speaker 1: It's going to be the Cassie video.
- 15:12Speaker 2: It's going to be allegedly the hotel room being set
- 15:15Speaker 2: up for a freak golf while Diddy was waiting to
- 15:19Speaker 2: be brought in by police here in New York on
- 15:22Speaker 2: these charges. It's going to be the fact that in
- 15:25Speaker 2: that hotel room they found drugs.
- 15:27Speaker 1: It's going to.
- 15:28Speaker 2: Be all the things, all the things like they're going
- 15:31Speaker 2: to be. They haven't went anywhere since the last time.
- 15:34Speaker 2: So I predict that Diddy will not receive the bell.
- 15:38Speaker 2: I said the day that the last bell hearing happened
- 15:41Speaker 2: at court when he was found not guilty on the
- 15:44Speaker 2: most serious charges like the conspiracy and all those things,
- 15:46Speaker 2: that I wouldn't have been surprised if he got a bell.
- 15:49Speaker 2: I'm honestly not against that happening. I think that at
- 15:53Speaker 2: this point it would make sense for him to receive one.
- 15:57Speaker 2: But in me hearing the way that Judge responded to
- 16:02Speaker 2: Diddy in his team before and the facts of the
- 16:06Speaker 2: case are still the same because Diddy's team can't. They
- 16:09Speaker 2: don't even reference the firing of the prosecutor, Like they
- 16:12Speaker 2: don't even get into those things for real, for real.
- 16:15Speaker 2: So it's like, what's new here? And to me, that's
- 16:18Speaker 2: the only thing that's new. But it's like there's a
- 16:21Speaker 2: tiptoe around it. And I don't know if the tiptoe
- 16:25Speaker 2: is because you know, that's just internal information of like
- 16:28Speaker 2: why maybe they don't know why the firing even happened,
- 16:31Speaker 2: or you know, third, maybe the firing has nothing to
- 16:34Speaker 2: do with something that they could even use to prove
- 16:37Speaker 2: that Diddy should be given another shot at bail, whatever
- 16:39Speaker 2: the case may be. Outside of that firing, nothing else
- 16:44Speaker 2: is new. So I see the judge leaning in the
