- 1:37Speaker 2: Tisa Tales on YouTube, Tisa thank you for being with us.
- 1:40Speaker 2: What happened in court today?
- 1:43Speaker 4: In court, Mark Agnefilio came in like.
- 1:46Speaker 5: He had had the worst news delivered to He was
- 1:50Speaker 5: in walking around purl Brow, going in and out.
- 1:54Speaker 4: Nobody knows what happened.
- 1:55Speaker 5: However, the jury got the instructions, and something's telling me
- 2:00Speaker 5: that a strawberry lemonade defense might be falling apart.
- 2:03Speaker 4: Before it even had a chance to take hold.
- 2:05Speaker 2: Okay, for those that don't know about the strawberry lemonade defense,
- 2:09Speaker 2: among so many other defenses such as it was just
- 2:12Speaker 2: homemade porn. Really okay? Does that include the Castiventior beat
- 2:17Speaker 2: down video that said strawberry lemonade explain this really took
- 2:21Speaker 2: the cake.
- 2:22Speaker 5: Strawberry leiminade defense is something I hope I never hear again.
- 2:25Speaker 5: I will never be able to look at Country Time
- 2:28Speaker 5: eliminade again.
- 2:29Speaker 4: Mark Agnofilio started off by saying, you know, it's like
- 2:32Speaker 4: when you're a partner. Sometimes they like it, but you
- 2:35Speaker 4: don't like.
- 2:36Speaker 5: But you couldn't like what your partner likes because you
- 2:39Speaker 5: want to please them again. The jury and the galley
- 2:42Speaker 5: was looking like, sir, what are you talking about? He
- 2:45Speaker 5: looked like he was like, okay, too far. It's like
- 2:48Speaker 5: and then he immediately switched to it's like drinking strawberry lemonade.
- 2:51Speaker 5: Your partner might love it, you don't like it, but.
- 2:54Speaker 4: Over time you come to like it because you want
- 2:57Speaker 4: to please your partner again.
- 3:00Speaker 5: And Mark Agnofilio was doing, I don't believe you're lying,
- 3:03Speaker 5: eyes and ears, just focus in on me. His wife
- 3:07Speaker 5: was in court and he said that this was he's
- 3:09Speaker 5: seen him his whole career, and this was the best
- 3:12Speaker 5: clothing he's ever seen him perform. And I gotta say,
- 3:16Speaker 5: if that was the best, I would hate to see
- 3:18Speaker 5: the worst.
- 3:19Speaker 1: You know, Tisa tails.
- 3:20Speaker 2: Throughout the defense closing statement, we heard Agnifilo use one
- 3:26Speaker 2: old tired phrase after the next, such as she wanted it, uh,
- 3:34Speaker 2: she got paid, as if that's the defense to the beatings,
- 3:38Speaker 2: making a lot of comments about how much money Cassaventiro had,
- 3:44Speaker 2: how much money? He was referring to Jane Steele living in.
- 3:49Speaker 1: The home that Diddy had paid for, on and on
- 3:55Speaker 1: with so many old, tired phrases.
- 4:00Speaker 2: I'm very curious at reflecting on really disdainful theories about
- 4:08Speaker 2: rape victims. I'm very curious how the jury was responding
- 4:11Speaker 2: to that.
- 4:12Speaker 5: The funny thing is, I thought it was my imagination,
- 4:15Speaker 5: but I talked to a few people also that.
- 4:16Speaker 4: Were sitting on court. He lost the jury. He went
- 4:20Speaker 4: so far as to say, you want to talk about
- 4:21Speaker 4: old school rape theories? He said, and then he pulled
- 4:24Speaker 4: out the oldest trick in the book, him, read me,
- 4:27Speaker 4: and she said it just like that.
- 4:29Speaker 5: The jury's eyes kind of looked like, what is going on?
- 4:32Speaker 5: He tried to apply Cassie was a minx that seduced
- 4:35Speaker 5: all these men. She was gangster, She could take two
- 4:38Speaker 5: or three men at a time. Cassie was a woman
- 4:41Speaker 5: that likes sex.
- 4:42Speaker 4: It was so disgusting. And the funny thing is, and
- 4:45Speaker 4: I'll be honest with you.
- 4:46Speaker 5: He came in really charming the jury, making jokes. But
- 4:50Speaker 5: once he started going into that old school misogyny, the
- 4:54Speaker 5: jury was termed off. And the thing is, he started
- 4:57Speaker 5: to seem like he was to get a little nervous.
- 4:59Speaker 5: It's almost like he realized that he had.
- 5:01Speaker 4: Lost a jury. It was really startling to see.
- 5:04Speaker 1: Okay, let me understand what you just said. Tisa Tales.
- 5:06Speaker 2: Everyone Tasta Tales from Tisa Tales on YouTube joining us
- 5:09Speaker 2: outside the courthouse. And what a day it has been
- 5:11Speaker 2: in the courtroom. We'll get into jury instructions in just
- 5:14Speaker 2: a moment. But did you say that Agnifilo, the lead
- 5:18Speaker 2: defense attorney, stated that Cassie was gangster and that she
- 5:24Speaker 2: was fine to take two to three men at once.
- 5:28Speaker 1: He said that.
- 5:29Speaker 4: What he actually said was she juggled them two three
- 5:32Speaker 4: at a time.
- 5:33Speaker 5: But Nancy, you hit it on the head, that inference,
- 5:36Speaker 5: that little sly growth thought he was trying to plant
- 5:40Speaker 5: in the jury's head two to three. Let's not forget
- 5:43Speaker 5: what she was getting the trend on her. It was
- 5:46Speaker 5: two or three people. It was disgusting to see what
- 5:49Speaker 5: he was doing. And that inference that you picked up
- 5:51Speaker 5: on was not lost on the jury. He lost them
- 5:54Speaker 5: with that old school misogyny.
- 5:56Speaker 1: It was too much.
- 5:57Speaker 4: It was too much.
- 5:57Speaker 2: Okay, wait a minute, did he act she say the
- 6:00Speaker 2: word gangster.
- 6:02Speaker 4: Did he say yes, Yes, he said Cassie was traded.
- 6:05Speaker 5: And this is right after he was referring to her
- 6:08Speaker 5: juggling two or three at a time.
- 6:10Speaker 4: Cassie was gangster.
- 6:12Speaker 1: She didn't care.
- 6:13Speaker 4: I mean, I guess I don't want to sound jez.
- 6:15Speaker 5: There's nothing wrong with this. This is a woman that
- 6:17Speaker 5: liked sex. She liked it, she was in control, he
- 6:20Speaker 5: knew what he wanted.
- 6:22Speaker 4: It was back to back to back grossness.
- 6:25Speaker 5: And again, I can understand if the prosecution had not
- 6:29Speaker 5: done such a great job with their closing arguments, maybe
- 6:33Speaker 5: you could have skated by. But it was night and
- 6:36Speaker 5: day and it really made a jury in my mind,
- 6:39Speaker 5: saying who side are you on? And where are you
- 6:42Speaker 5: going to draw the line at where you see victims?
- 6:44Speaker 4: It was very startling.
- 6:45Speaker 1: So let me understand this.
- 6:47Speaker 2: The white bread boy from law school called the rape
- 6:52Speaker 2: victims gangster?
- 6:54Speaker 1: Did I just hear that?
- 6:55Speaker 4: Yes?
- 6:56Speaker 5: And again it sounded just as cheesy Eric Corney, and
- 7:00Speaker 5: like a load of bricks, But he still did it,
- 7:03Speaker 5: and it made me think, was did he involved in
- 7:06Speaker 5: that closing argument? Was he giving him notes about no colors?
- 7:10Speaker 1: Straight?
- 7:10Speaker 4: Gangster?
- 7:11Speaker 1: Again?
- 7:11Speaker 4: Maybe right, message, wrong, Messenger. That was a very cringe moment.
- 7:16Speaker 5: You know, as soon as it came out of Mark's mouth,
- 7:18Speaker 5: you could tell he just wanted to make that go
- 7:20Speaker 5: away and just move on to the next point.
- 7:22Speaker 2: Okay, joining me, Rob Shooter. He is a host of
- 7:25Speaker 2: naughty but nice podcasts and you can find him at
- 7:27Speaker 2: Rob Shooter in a shut er, not Bang Bang Shooter,
- 7:32Speaker 2: robshooter dot substack dot com.
- 7:35Speaker 1: Former publicist for Sean comes.
- 7:39Speaker 2: Okay, I'm just trying to get that mental picture of Agnifilo,
- 7:44Speaker 2: the whitebread boy from law school, fixing his mouth to
- 7:48Speaker 2: call the rape victims gangster. And they could take it
- 7:54Speaker 2: that Cassie could juggle two to three men at a time.
- 7:59Speaker 1: You're the pr guru. I bet that Phil flat.
- 8:02Speaker 6: Worse than that. Nancy has absolutely tone deaf. I'm shocked
- 8:06Speaker 6: that did. He's paying good money for this legal team
- 8:08Speaker 6: and did he is a perfectionist, at least when I
- 8:11Speaker 6: worked with him. He certainly likes to win and have
- 8:14Speaker 6: things his own way. I can't believe that this is
- 8:16Speaker 6: the argument that they're using, that he's allowing them to use,
- 8:20Speaker 6: that he's not objecting to it. He has made a
- 8:22Speaker 6: living for twenty years really really understanding what the audience wants.
- 8:27Speaker 6: And I know he's looking at that jury like an audience.
- 8:31Speaker 6: He's been on stage and he knows what it's like
- 8:33Speaker 6: to lose an audience. He's played the garden, some of
- 8:36Speaker 6: the biggest venues in the world. Now he's sitting in
- 8:38Speaker 6: this courtroom and he can tell he's a professional at this, Nancy.
- 8:43Speaker 6: He can tell that this just is not working. I
- 8:46Speaker 6: am so surprised that they are doing this, and I'm
- 8:49Speaker 6: even more surprised that did he hasn't at least tried
- 8:53Speaker 6: to correct this ship. It's a bad, bad look.
- 8:56Speaker 1: Yeah. And here's the thing, Shooter.
- 8:58Speaker 2: Once you commit to the lawyer that's going to deliver
- 9:01Speaker 2: the closings, you're stuck. You could have a fleet five seven,
- 9:05Speaker 2: eight lawyers like the defense has, but only one lawyer
- 9:09Speaker 2: is tasked can be tasked with delivering closing statements.
- 9:13Speaker 1: If you'll think back to the Alex.
- 9:15Speaker 2: Murdock double murder trial where he was charged and convicted
- 9:18Speaker 2: of murdering his wife Maggie and son Paul. They wanted
- 9:22Speaker 2: to split that up so the good old boy could
- 9:25Speaker 2: start Hartpootlian.
- 9:27Speaker 1: The closings and then bring on a younger and more.
- 9:31Speaker 2: Spry lawyer to hit the facts. No, that was not allowed.
- 9:36Speaker 2: There is a reason only one lawyer can give openings
- 9:39Speaker 2: and closings. And they picked Agnifilo. I told them at
- 9:44Speaker 2: the get go, do not do that. After his disastrous
- 9:47Speaker 2: softball interview with Harvey Levin about the baby oil it
- 9:51Speaker 2: was cringey right way cringe. He was not fit to
- 9:56Speaker 2: do closings. He may be illegal mastermind, but no, Oh
- 10:00Speaker 2: they had Steel, an excellent lawyer, just got young Fergoff.
- 10:05Speaker 2: They have tiny Girrigoss, daughter of Mark Gerrio's great lawyer.
- 10:11Speaker 2: But no, they picked him. That was Diddy's decision. Do
- 10:15Speaker 2: you agree or disagree there? Any way? It was anyone's decision.
- 10:19Speaker 1: But Sean Combs is no way, one hundred percent his decision.
- 10:23Speaker 6: And not only will he be deciding which lawyer to pick,
- 10:28Speaker 6: he'll want to know the outline of the closing statements
- 10:32Speaker 6: they're going to make. He's a total control for it.
- 10:35Speaker 6: Let me give you an example, Nancy. When I was
- 10:37Speaker 6: working with him twenty years ago, we were at Good
- 10:39Speaker 6: Morning America and everybody in the crowd was white, and
- 10:43Speaker 6: did he know that this was a bad look? And
- 10:45Speaker 6: he turned to me and said, where are the people
- 10:48Speaker 6: of color? And there were some people there. They were
- 10:50Speaker 6: at the back, they were moved to the front. Did
- 10:53Speaker 6: he notice this in did his concerts? Did he make
- 10:55Speaker 6: sure that when the camera shoots people in the audience,
- 10:58Speaker 6: it's people of color people, it's pretty people. So he
- 11:02Speaker 6: knows image better than anybody else in that courtroom, and
- 11:06Speaker 6: I'm shocked that he's allowing this to happen.
- 11:11Speaker 1: Not good.
- 11:11Speaker 2: And of course we've had fifty fifty fifty cents way
- 11:15Speaker 2: in on the closing arguments, but very quickly, I want
- 11:19Speaker 2: everybody to hear I got a ton of these man
- 11:22Speaker 2: on the streets about the outcome of the trial.
- 11:25Speaker 1: Listen to this. We're all my.
- 11:26Speaker 2: Blogger, reporters, anyone content creators that have questions for this man.
- 11:31Speaker 1: He will be home soon. You heard it here first
- 11:35Speaker 1: on EBTV.
- 11:36Speaker 2: That's from Arispoto on TikTok Okay. So word on the
- 11:40Speaker 2: street is that he's.
- 11:42Speaker 1: Going to walk. Okay, I don't get it.
- 11:46Speaker 2: Tisa tells what's the word in the courthouse, Because I
- 11:49Speaker 2: tell you, who knows what's going to happen. The bailiffs,
- 11:52Speaker 2: they always know, they know exactly what's going down. So
- 11:57Speaker 2: what's the worry of Tisa tells.
- 11:58Speaker 5: The word for the corporam is people are not expecting
- 12:01Speaker 5: Diddy to walk. They are expecting for the verdict to
- 12:05Speaker 5: come in before July third. They think the jury's going
- 12:08Speaker 5: to want to take their holiday weekend. But they are
- 12:10Speaker 5: not expecting Diddy to walk. And oddly enough, also a
- 12:15Speaker 5: lot of people in the court that worked there seemed
- 12:17Speaker 5: to be very very kind of thrown off two with
- 12:20Speaker 5: the question of Mark agnfilial and what he was saying
- 12:23Speaker 5: tu Rock's point where he says he doesn't know why.
- 12:26Speaker 4: Did he did?
- 12:27Speaker 5: There was something in the middle of closing arguments when
- 12:31Speaker 5: after Mark Nott admonished by the judge, when he came back,
- 12:34Speaker 5: did he had a huddle?
- 12:36Speaker 4: He was bad, he was upset. He literally stood over.
- 12:39Speaker 5: Them like a general a quietly barking orders at them
- 12:43Speaker 5: and Mark with to the jury and then started.
- 12:45Speaker 4: Saying all these nonsensical things.
- 12:47Speaker 5: I actually think that did He's the one putting them
- 12:50Speaker 5: up to have a man clost the sixties screaming she
- 12:53Speaker 5: was straight gangster in the courtroom.
- 12:56Speaker 4: I actually think didt He's the one.
- 12:57Speaker 5: That had him make the argument of he he's a
- 13:00Speaker 5: better father to Jane's child than the own father because
- 13:03Speaker 5: he's paying friends. I think Diddy was behind that for
- 13:06Speaker 5: some reason. He wanted to get those looks in and
- 13:09Speaker 5: he thinks that it's.
- 13:10Speaker 4: Going to win with the jersey.
- 13:11Speaker 2: Okay, you need to to just hold on backtrack because
- 13:14Speaker 2: I made every single detail taste of tales. When was
- 13:18Speaker 2: Sean Combe's standing like the coach of the football team,
- 13:22Speaker 2: barking orders, But he can't bark him too loud because
- 13:25Speaker 2: everybody in the courtroom will hear it.
- 13:26Speaker 1: I got to hear the whole thing slowly. I'm on
- 13:29Speaker 1: every detail.
- 13:30Speaker 5: So you see Diddy in the courtroom and when I
- 13:32Speaker 5: say barking orders and this goes to Ditty's mindset. Of course,
- 13:35Speaker 5: he wasn't screaming in the courtroom. He was very quiet.
- 13:38Speaker 5: How do we know he was barking because of his
- 13:40Speaker 5: body language. He sat there like a general like the
- 13:43Speaker 5: Holly and looking at a map of Europe with his
- 13:46Speaker 5: hands on the defense tables.
- 13:48Speaker 4: Stand up, standing up. We were just coming back from
- 13:51Speaker 4: a break Diddy's team at Nolan.
- 13:52Speaker 5: They had gone too far and they had accused the
- 13:54Speaker 5: government of acting improper. The judge said he was going
- 13:57Speaker 5: to issue a curative instruction saying say that anymore and disregard.
- 14:01Speaker 5: When they came back, he made sure he could have
- 14:03Speaker 5: did it in the back room. He made sure the
- 14:05Speaker 5: stand there like napoleons, his fingers spread of standing up
- 14:11Speaker 5: leaning over the defense desk with his band of loyal followers.
- 14:15Speaker 4: His defense team.
- 14:16Speaker 5: Leaned and close, and he made sure by his body
- 14:19Speaker 5: movement that we knew and his body language that we
- 14:22Speaker 5: knew that he was whispering intently reading his team.
- 14:27Speaker 4: A new one. And then they were going back and forth.
- 14:30Speaker 5: It looked like they were trying to talk, since to
- 14:32Speaker 5: them he was still like letting his body language do
- 14:35Speaker 5: the talking. Again, he wanted to let us know that
- 14:38Speaker 5: he wasn't happy with his lawyers, which is a very
- 14:40Speaker 5: very weird thing. And after that, Mark Agnefiliel, when he
- 14:44Speaker 5: started his closing again after Freak, he said, before we
- 14:47Speaker 5: move on, I want to bring up a few issues
- 14:50Speaker 5: that I don't think I touched him before, and I said,
- 14:52Speaker 5: there you go, there you go. This is what did
- 14:55Speaker 5: he wanted us to know? Apparently did he wants us
- 14:59Speaker 5: to know the but if Cassie is, if we believe
- 15:02Speaker 5: that Cassie is, in his words, a loose woman, an
- 15:06Speaker 5: unclean woman.
- 15:07Speaker 4: If we know that he was a better father to.
- 15:09Speaker 5: Jane's child than even James's own baby's father because he
- 15:13Speaker 5: was paying the rent, then somehow we're.
- 15:15Speaker 4: Going to let it go. He wanted us to know
- 15:17Speaker 4: that it was.
- 15:18Speaker 5: Unclear, okay, that it was unclear in the video who
- 15:21Speaker 5: the aggressor was.
- 15:23Speaker 4: Could have been her, could have been him, Maybe it
- 15:26Speaker 4: was him. Let's take a look at the evidence and
- 15:28Speaker 4: see what you find.
- 15:29Speaker 5: Again, these were the nonsensical arguments, and again Mark scene after.
- 15:34Speaker 4: Did he read them a new one to lose his stem?
- 15:37Speaker 4: And just it was a weird energy coming off.
- 15:39Speaker 5: He kept seeing like he was trying to recover, and
- 15:42Speaker 5: he kept going a little bit too far, So I
- 15:43Speaker 5: think did he's the one pushing these narratives.
- 15:46Speaker 1: Doctor Bethany Marshall, psychoe Ala, was joining us out of La,
- 15:49Speaker 1: author of deal Breaker.
- 15:50Speaker 2: You can see her on Peacock and find her online
- 15:52Speaker 2: at dr Bethany Marshall dot com. In a nutshell that
- 15:55Speaker 2: people actually still say that, and I can't believe that
- 15:58Speaker 2: Agnifilo would actually say.
- 15:59Speaker 1: That to Journey full of women loosemen.
- 16:03Speaker 3: They may not say loose woman, Nancy, but The implication
- 16:07Speaker 3: that if a woman is sexual, she's dirty or bad
- 16:10Speaker 3: or sinful is still pervasive in our society. And this
- 16:13Speaker 3: is why women who are sex trafficked do not have
- 16:16Speaker 3: the protections that they should have. Men are allowed to
- 16:20Speaker 3: be sexual, women are not. It is pervasive in our society.
- 16:23Speaker 3: And this is what we see with p Diddy all
- 16:25Speaker 3: throughout this case. And you know this, leaning against the
- 16:28Speaker 3: defense desk, his fingers bread like Napoleon. He's trying to
- 16:32Speaker 3: intimidate his attorneys and they are full grown men. Imagine
- 16:35Speaker 3: what he did in private with these victims. If he's
- 16:39Speaker 3: doing this in court in front of everybody, including the jurors.
- 16:42Speaker 2: We are live at the courthouse standing by Tisa Tail's
- 16:45Speaker 2: star off Tasa Tales on YouTube.
- 16:47Speaker 1: Tisa aside from saying.
- 16:49Speaker 2: Let me, I've just had to make a flowshot chart
- 16:51Speaker 2: that the alligied rate victim is gangsta, that she could
- 16:57Speaker 2: easily take on two or three men at a time
- 16:59Speaker 2: and juggle them, I assume that means pulling a train
- 17:02Speaker 2: in legal terms, calling her a loose woman, and all
- 17:06Speaker 2: of the charges just quote homemade porn. I understand that
- 17:11Speaker 2: Shawn Kamm's son had to be taken out, well, escorted
- 17:15Speaker 2: out of the courtroom by bailiffs.
- 17:17Speaker 1: What happened, well happly enough.
- 17:19Speaker 5: When he was first escorted out, I assumed that it
- 17:22Speaker 5: was something to do with a bathroom break or he
- 17:24Speaker 5: felt sick. However he was really he was wearing a
- 17:27Speaker 5: T shirt that said free Didty.
- 17:30Speaker 4: And of course they have made it illegal in.
- 17:33Speaker 5: The courtroom to have anything that shows support or not
- 17:36Speaker 5: support for Didty. And it makes me wonder because I
- 17:39Speaker 5: still think Diddy is running the whole show. The fact
- 17:42Speaker 5: that you had to put your child up to that
- 17:45Speaker 5: because they knew the rules, and even at this critical
- 17:48Speaker 5: point where you need the jury to feel sorry for you,
- 17:51Speaker 5: you need the court, through the judge by the way
- 17:53Speaker 5: it's going to sentence her father, to think that you
- 17:55Speaker 5: guys were all law abiding with a healthy.
- 17:57Speaker 4: Respect for the law.
- 17:58Speaker 5: And the fact that you would take that moment to
- 18:01Speaker 5: do a stunt queen antic to say free Diddy and
- 18:04Speaker 5: you had to be escorted out of court.
- 18:07Speaker 4: Again, it makes you think about their minds.
- 18:10Speaker 5: I feel like they're living in delusion land, the followers
- 18:14Speaker 5: and even their son that would even put their dad
- 18:16Speaker 5: in the situation.
- 18:17Speaker 4: But again, I think this is all flowing from the top.
- 18:20Speaker 4: This is diddy.
- 18:21Speaker 2: They had Sean Combs dressed up like a Harvard freshman
- 18:24Speaker 2: again in court today, wearing his usual cream colored sweater.
- 18:29Speaker 2: But I heard that throughout the judge's instructions very often
- 18:35Speaker 2: he had his head down.
- 18:38Speaker 1: Why what was happening when he had his.
- 18:41Speaker 4: Head down for some reason? Here's the thing. He had
- 18:44Speaker 4: his head down.
- 18:45Speaker 5: I get what he was going for. He was trying
- 18:47Speaker 5: to look contrite. He wants the jury to feel sorry
- 18:50Speaker 5: for him. But I will say his messaging in his body.
- 18:53Speaker 4: Language has been very off.
- 18:55Speaker 5: In his head, I think he's that young, strightly twenty
- 18:58Speaker 5: five year old that can, you know, shake hands, kiss babies,
- 19:01Speaker 5: and charm the ladies.
- 19:03Speaker 4: I don't think he realizes that he comes across a
- 19:05Speaker 4: little creepy in court. So he has his head down.
- 19:09Speaker 5: It looks like, I get it, you're trying to look sad,
- 19:11Speaker 5: But are you going to sleep?
- 19:12Speaker 4: Hello? Are you up?
- 19:14Speaker 1: When he's sitting.
- 19:14Speaker 5: Here trying to look contrite, he looks like somebody's grandfather,
- 19:18Speaker 5: trying to look like a three year old. Even when
- 19:20Speaker 5: you look at his body language. Dressed like a Harvard
- 19:22Speaker 5: law student, always a fresh haircut, but his hair is gray, which, again,
- 19:28Speaker 5: where are you going with the image. I would think
- 19:30Speaker 5: that if you are being accused of making these women
- 19:33Speaker 5: do freak golfs and it's something you do to pretty
- 19:35Speaker 5: your lover, you won't want to look as young and
- 19:38Speaker 5: handsome as possible to make it seem like these girls
- 19:41Speaker 5: could actually be attracted to you without coercion.
- 19:44Speaker 4: That is not the case.
- 19:45Speaker 5: So again it's just another mysfire. And did he thinking
- 19:49Speaker 5: he knows more than anything? Now that said, like Rob said,
- 19:53Speaker 5: he's made a He's made a whole career out of
- 19:56Speaker 5: reading people.
- 19:57Speaker 4: So maybe he sees something on the jury that we don't.
- 20:06Speaker 1: Crime stories with Nancy Grace.
- 20:10Speaker 2: Okay, Rob Shooter joining us a host of Naughty but
- 20:13Speaker 2: Nice podcast.
- 20:14Speaker 1: Rob Shooter, you know if he walks, the first place.
- 20:18Speaker 2: He's going is to the Dwayne Reid or the CBS
- 20:21Speaker 2: right around the corner from the courthouse. Actually, he would
- 20:23Speaker 2: send a minion to do with He wouldn't do it
- 20:24Speaker 2: himself and take back up on just for a men,
- 20:28Speaker 2: This whole gray hair act, you know, he's doing that
- 20:32Speaker 2: on purpose to make himself look frail and pitiful in
- 20:37Speaker 2: front of the jury, not like a guy that could
- 20:40Speaker 2: beat Cassie Ventira's rear end on video, dragging her up
- 20:44Speaker 2: and down the hall, and as was pointed out last week,
- 20:47Speaker 2: holding on. He hadn't mind beating her with one hand.
- 20:50Speaker 2: But one thing he did hold on to he did
- 20:53Speaker 2: was hold onto that towel, so this wouldn't show.
- 20:56Speaker 1: Okay, did let let me see that video one more time? Please?
- 21:00Speaker 2: No matter what he did, you know he did the
- 21:03Speaker 2: all star punting kicks. He came running down the hall.
- 21:10Speaker 2: Look at that, grabbing her, grabbing her stuff out. Okay,
- 21:14Speaker 2: I never get past those kicks while she's laying there
- 21:17Speaker 2: act playing dead.
- 21:19Speaker 1: But he never lets go of the towel.
- 21:23Speaker 2: And many people have suggested is because at all costs
- 21:28Speaker 2: he doesn't want.
- 21:29Speaker 1: The cameras to pick up on this. Okay, So, Vanity,
- 21:35Speaker 1: thy name is Diddy.
- 21:37Speaker 6: I think that's a beautiful, very very smart way of
- 21:41Speaker 6: really summarizing who he is. Nancy. He always is thinking
- 21:45Speaker 6: about image. He's always thinking about himself. He's always thinking
- 21:49Speaker 6: about the way he can sell something.
- 21:50Speaker 4: Let's be really.
- 21:51Speaker 6: Clear here, Puffy is not a star because he's a
- 21:54Speaker 6: great rapper, a great singer, a great actor, a great dancer. No,
- 21:58Speaker 6: he's a great pr guy. He's a great mark getting guy,
- 22:01Speaker 6: and so I would imagine he was pretty angry with
- 22:03Speaker 6: his son for wearing that T shirt because it's the
- 22:06Speaker 6: opposite thing to what did he has been projecting portraying
- 22:10Speaker 6: in the court. So I would imagine was not that
- 22:12Speaker 6: happy about that. But I do think here it would
- 22:15Speaker 6: be so easy and a mistake for us all to
- 22:19Speaker 6: believe that this is over. The word that I'm hearing
- 22:24Speaker 6: not in the courtroom but on the street in the
- 22:27Speaker 6: music business is they're all expecting him to be home really,
- 22:30Speaker 6: really soon, and so you've got to take that into
- 22:33Speaker 6: account too. It's very easy to get into this bubble
- 22:37Speaker 6: where the evidence is so strong and what should happen
- 22:41Speaker 6: is what we want to happen. But often that isn't
- 22:44Speaker 6: the case, particularly when a marketing manipulative person is involved.
- 22:50Speaker 6: And did is that?
- 22:51Speaker 1: Okay?
- 22:51Speaker 2: Let me ask you, this shooter, the stories, the true
- 22:54Speaker 2: stories that you have told about Sean Colmbs manipulating the
- 22:57Speaker 2: press and other people. And you were there to hear
- 23:01Speaker 2: every directive, every order he gave, from what seat he
- 23:05Speaker 2: wanted in the expensive restaurant to how he wanted to
- 23:08Speaker 2: be videoed as he mounted his private plane, you name it.
- 23:14Speaker 1: What directives do you believe he.
- 23:17Speaker 2: Has told his team to execute during closing arguments? And
- 23:21Speaker 2: how has he orchestrated the courtroom everything from where his
- 23:26Speaker 2: family sits and they've been in the courtroom all day
- 23:29Speaker 2: long during these charges, and that's not an easy thing
- 23:31Speaker 2: to listen to, by the way, during the trial, when
- 23:34Speaker 2: they would get up and get down, which as you know,
- 23:37Speaker 2: causes a stir in the courtroom when a family member
- 23:41Speaker 2: leaves or comes back, you know, that was all orchestrated.
- 23:44Speaker 2: What they were wearing, what he's wearing, what his lawyers
- 23:49Speaker 2: are wearing, where they sit, how they look at the jury.
- 23:53Speaker 1: Everything is orchestrated down to a t. Explain.
- 23:57Speaker 6: That's what he has done for his life, and that's
- 24:00Speaker 6: what's made him a really, really big star. The conflict
- 24:03Speaker 6: that he has is that he has been portraying himself
- 24:07Speaker 6: as quite a humble, gray haired, maybe now middle aged
- 24:11Speaker 6: gentleman who couldn't possibly do these awful things. And so
- 24:16Speaker 6: I think he's done a somewhat convincing job of that. However,
- 24:20Speaker 6: the real Diddy there he is is a fighter, and
- 24:23Speaker 6: he loves a fight, and if you come at him,
- 24:25Speaker 6: he's going to punch you back. And so these closing
- 24:28Speaker 6: arguments are typical Diddy. If you remember, before that tape
- 24:32Speaker 6: was released, that horrific tape you just showed us, Nancy,
- 24:35Speaker 6: Before that tape was released, his instinct was to punch
- 24:38Speaker 6: Cassie and to say she's a gold digger, she's after
- 24:41Speaker 6: my money. And many people, at least in the rap
- 24:45Speaker 6: community believe that until we saw this tape. So I
- 24:48Speaker 6: think once again now is reverting back to his natural instincts,
- 24:53Speaker 6: which is to attack the victim, to make Cassie look
- 24:58Speaker 6: like a woman who might have had different types of judgment.
- 25:02Speaker 6: I'm not sure it's going to work, Nancy, but I
- 25:05Speaker 6: do know there is quite a large population, quite a
- 25:09Speaker 6: large demographic, who do believe this.
- 25:11Speaker 2: To you, Tisa Tails joining us outside the Manhan Federal Courthouse.
- 25:15Speaker 1: As we wait on a verdict.
- 25:18Speaker 2: The family there throughout those very long and extensive jury instructions. Today,
- 25:25Speaker 2: jury instructions are with the judge verbatim reads the law,
- 25:30Speaker 2: and there were hundreds of pages of law to read.
- 25:33Speaker 2: But the family sat through the whole thing. Describe what
- 25:37Speaker 2: was happening in the courtroom.
- 25:39Speaker 5: What was happening in the courtroom was to Rob's point,
- 25:42Speaker 5: did you every morning he does come out the door
- 25:45Speaker 5: like a celebrity. He walked in, he paused, almost like
- 25:49Speaker 5: he expected everyone to take pictures and whatnot.
- 25:52Speaker 4: This is maybe eight feet he has to walk. He
- 25:54Speaker 4: walked to the side. He did his smile, He did
- 25:57Speaker 4: the love.
- 25:58Speaker 5: He blew kisses at his family, told his daughters he
- 26:01Speaker 5: loved them, mouthed I love you, and then said nodding, nodding,
- 26:04Speaker 5: nodding because he remembered he's supposed to be.
- 26:06Speaker 4: A frail old man.
- 26:07Speaker 5: He forget sometimes and then he solely SLINKs and stinks
- 26:10Speaker 5: into his chair. The whole time the judge was reading
- 26:14Speaker 5: the jury instructions, Diddy was looking down. Sometimes he tried
- 26:18Speaker 5: to look straight, then he would get bored and he
- 26:21Speaker 5: would look down again. But the family, with each jury
- 26:25Speaker 5: instruction that was read off, the family kept getting more
- 26:29Speaker 5: and more uncomfortable. At what point when they talked about
- 26:32Speaker 5: what it is to move prostitution across state lines, the
- 26:36Speaker 5: daughters looked at each other. It's always the twins, and
- 26:38Speaker 5: then the one little girl is in between them.
- 26:42Speaker 4: They all looked at each other their physicality.
- 26:46Speaker 5: Again, I get what Robs saying, a lot of people
- 26:48Speaker 5: in Diddy's camp think he's coming home.
- 26:51Speaker 4: But these are the same people that thought that he'd
- 26:53Speaker 4: never get arrested.
- 26:54Speaker 5: These are the same people that thought there was never
- 26:55Speaker 5: going to be a jarring jury investigation. These are the
- 26:57Speaker 5: same people that thought his house was never going to
- 26:59Speaker 5: be rid. Why do I bring that up because I
- 27:02Speaker 5: feel like the kids are right there in delusional land.
- 27:06Speaker 5: But it was so interesting to see that with each
- 27:08Speaker 5: jury instruction, the family got more and more uncomfortable, and
- 27:13Speaker 5: they looked more and more nervous because as much as
- 27:16Speaker 5: you try to spend this, the law is the law,
- 27:19Speaker 5: and maybe he won't be convicted of everything, but there
- 27:22Speaker 5: are certain things that when they read out, everybody knows.
- 27:24Speaker 5: The prosecution proved back on their second, third, fourth day.
- 27:29Speaker 4: Again, some facts are just facts.
- 27:31Speaker 5: And I think the kids they're getting a docal reality
- 27:34Speaker 5: when they're in the courtroom.
- 27:35Speaker 1: He is dragging the state star witness through the mud.
- 27:39Speaker 3: So she's painting her to be this cheer, this liar,
- 27:42Speaker 3: this betrayer.
- 27:43Speaker 5: Very nineteen sixties coded misogyny.
- 27:47Speaker 1: Here's the law.
- 27:48Speaker 2: There you go, there's all the love of Agnifolo is
- 27:52Speaker 2: talking about enclosing statements.
- 27:54Speaker 1: She was no angel. He even accused Cassie of.
- 27:58Speaker 5: Saying she was raped because she was dating her husband,
- 28:02Speaker 5: or is Marth like.
- 28:02Speaker 4: To put it, the oldest chick in the book. They
- 28:05Speaker 4: were looking at him like he was crazy. One person
- 28:07Speaker 4: had a look of disbelief. It was like a bomb
- 28:09Speaker 4: went off.
- 28:10Speaker 2: Tasa Tels Outside the Courthouse has just reported that inside
- 28:14Speaker 2: the courthouse, the word is did He's going down? But
- 28:17Speaker 2: not everybody agrees.
- 28:19Speaker 7: There's no drug possession charges, there's no like assault.
- 28:23Speaker 1: There's not really charges that you can say.
- 28:27Speaker 7: Well, you know, I don't want to send him to
- 28:30Speaker 7: prison for fifteen years, but I don't like him and
- 28:33Speaker 7: he's a bad person, so let's convict him of this
- 28:36Speaker 7: and he'll get a couple of.
- 28:37Speaker 1: Years, which is very often what juries do. True.
- 28:40Speaker 2: He may be no legal scholar, that's from our prophet
- 28:45Speaker 2: on TikTok, but that's the point. This case is not
- 28:48Speaker 2: being determined or judged by legal scholars. Is being judged
- 28:54Speaker 2: by twelve jurors joining me. In addition to Tasa Tales
- 28:58Speaker 2: Outside the Courthouse and All Star Panelts go straight out
- 29:00Speaker 2: to Eric Fattus, joining us veteran troial lawyer and founding
- 29:04Speaker 2: partner Varner Fattus elite legal Eric. While we may think
- 29:10Speaker 2: the state has proven its case, it's really up to
- 29:13Speaker 2: the jury. And I mean the Vegas odds are fifty
- 29:18Speaker 2: to fifty right now, and I think that may reflect
- 29:23Speaker 2: what's going on. So just because the climate inside the
- 29:28Speaker 2: courthouse is conviction oriented, Remember you're surrounded by bailiffs. Everybody
- 29:34Speaker 2: in the courthouse, many of them work for the state,
- 29:37Speaker 2: that doesn't mean that's the slant the jury's taking fattest.
- 29:42Speaker 8: In fact, getting these takes you from the street and
- 29:44Speaker 8: from folks on YouTube. That could be a better glipse
- 29:47Speaker 8: into how these laid jurors are actually seeing this case. Look,
- 29:51Speaker 8: this is an uphill battle. It's not a slam dunk
- 29:53Speaker 8: by any means. We're talking about allegations over the course
- 29:56Speaker 8: of decades. There are all these moving parts, thirty four
- 29:59Speaker 8: different witnesses, conflicting evidence, credibility issues. When you put all
- 30:03Speaker 8: of that together, it's difficult to meet that burden of
- 30:06Speaker 8: proof beyond a reasonable doubt, which is the highest burden
- 30:08Speaker 8: in the justice system.
- 30:16Speaker 1: Crime stories with Nancy Grace.
- 30:21Speaker 2: Right now, we know Shawn Combs has been sweating bullets
- 30:24Speaker 2: in the courtroom all day continuously looking over at the jury,
- 30:28Speaker 2: darting his gaze over at them throughout the judge's instructions.
- 30:34Speaker 2: Joining me, Danny Pinter, Senior VP and Director of the
- 30:39Speaker 2: Law Center at the National Center on Sexual Exploitation.
- 30:43Speaker 1: Danny, when you hear phrase.
- 30:45Speaker 2: Is like, oh, she was gangster, straight up, she could
- 30:48Speaker 2: take on two three men at a time.
- 30:51Speaker 1: She was a quote loose woman. She got paid. And
- 30:56Speaker 1: another moment, Agniffolo said he hit her twice, referring to
- 31:02Speaker 1: I believe that was Jane. He only hit her twice.
- 31:06Speaker 1: That's the defense.
- 31:08Speaker 3: Yeah, I found it honestly disgusting, and I hope the
- 31:11Speaker 3: jury does too.
- 31:12Speaker 1: I think it was weak and unpersuasive.
- 31:14Speaker 4: And the defense went too far.
- 31:16Speaker 9: The jury has to contend with the facts, which I think,
- 31:20Speaker 9: you know, as a legal expert, I think they do.
- 31:23Speaker 1: The prosecution met their burden.
- 31:25Speaker 4: But what story is the jury going to believe? And
- 31:28Speaker 4: does the defense really think the jury is going to believe.
- 31:30Speaker 3: The story that Cassie Ventura had all the power.
- 31:33Speaker 1: And it Diddy is the victim.
- 31:36Speaker 4: I don't think anyone's buying.
- 31:37Speaker 2: Joining me now, Robert Crispin PI at Crispin Special Investigations.
- 31:41Speaker 1: But for our purposes former Federal.
- 31:43Speaker 2: Task Force Officer U. S. D oj deea Miami Field
- 31:48Speaker 2: Division former homicide from My Purposes Tonight, former vice and
- 31:54Speaker 2: you can find him at Crispininvestigations dot com. Robert the
- 31:59Speaker 2: Robber hits Now it's go time. The evidence is in,
- 32:05Speaker 2: the witnesses are gone. All that's left are the lawyers,
- 32:09Speaker 2: the judge, Diddy and the jury.
- 32:13Speaker 1: Throughout the day, I believe we saw a.
- 32:16Speaker 2: Different Diddy, cautiously furtively glancing at the jury, darting his
- 32:22Speaker 2: eyes back and forth as those jury instructions were read.
- 32:26Speaker 2: I know the feeling because throughout a jury trial, I
- 32:29Speaker 2: would watch the judge, the witness, the jury, witness, jury, witness, jury.
- 32:34Speaker 1: It's like a tennis match and you can't say anything.
- 32:36Speaker 1: You can only.
- 32:37Speaker 2: Watch and observe, make notes throughout the jury instructures. Today,
- 32:42Speaker 2: Sean Combe's sweating bullets.
- 32:46Speaker 1: I think now Crispin's hitting.
- 32:48Speaker 2: Home and you've seen it a million times. It's all
- 32:51Speaker 2: big talk. Bravado. She is at She is.
- 32:56Speaker 1: A quote loose woman.
- 32:58Speaker 2: She straight up gangst believe white Red Agniffolo fixed his
- 33:03Speaker 2: mouth to say Cassie's gangst.
- 33:05Speaker 1: Oh okay, that was way cringing.
- 33:08Speaker 2: But now it's down to it and Comb's is sitting
- 33:12Speaker 2: there staring at the jury.
- 33:14Speaker 1: You've seen it happen a million times.
- 33:16Speaker 4: Yeah, listen, this is good. This is gonna be tough
- 33:18Speaker 4: for both sides.
- 33:19Speaker 10: You know, the government's going to sit back and they're
- 33:21Speaker 10: going to wonder, did we do this right? The defense
- 33:24Speaker 10: is going to look back and say, did we say
- 33:26Speaker 10: the right thing in closing to put that reasonable doubt
- 33:29Speaker 10: just in one juur, just at one juror did I
- 33:32Speaker 10: do that?
- 33:33Speaker 11: Did I get that out there?
- 33:35Speaker 10: And Diddy's realizing that federal court is no joke.
- 33:38Speaker 1: Federal Court is the real deal.
- 33:40Speaker 11: And you know the videos, the electronic evidence, the witness testimony.
- 33:45Speaker 11: It all comes down to these people sitting in the
- 33:48Speaker 11: jury boxing, going back and thinking everything through and coming
- 33:54Speaker 11: up whether guilty or not guilty, and do they understand
- 33:57Speaker 11: the injury instructions? Those jury and stress are pretty intense,
- 34:01Speaker 11: especially the RICO and the racketeering, those are pretty intense. However,
- 34:05Speaker 11: what's going to be interesting is what are the questions
- 34:08Speaker 11: that are going to come out from the jury that
- 34:10Speaker 11: kind of gives us a telltale sign of where they're going.
- 34:13Speaker 11: What are they thinking what's the question. Why are they
- 34:15Speaker 11: asking this question about a certain piece of evidence? So
- 34:19Speaker 11: as time goes and ticks.
- 34:21Speaker 10: Away, we're going to kind of have a little bit
- 34:23Speaker 10: more idea once one of those questions start coming in,
- 34:28Speaker 10: or two questions.
- 34:29Speaker 11: This is a bad day for Diddy because I think
- 34:33Speaker 11: through all his testimony and making contact with the jury
- 34:36Speaker 11: and smiling, complimenting the judge and sitting back and leaning
- 34:40Speaker 11: forward and back in his chair.
- 34:42Speaker 10: Like he's a badass, that's different.
- 34:45Speaker 4: Today. His life is in the balance.
- 34:47Speaker 10: He is about to, if.
- 34:49Speaker 11: Found guilty, go to prison for the rest of his life.
- 34:53Speaker 11: That's a big pill to swallow.
- 34:54Speaker 2: Rob Shooter joining me hosted a naughty but Nice podcast
- 34:57Speaker 2: and you can find him at a substack. Rob the
- 35:00Speaker 2: daughters who have had to leave court several times in
- 35:04Speaker 2: tears during the testimony, that's a whole other can of
- 35:09Speaker 2: Worm's why he had his daughters and children in there
- 35:11Speaker 2: listening to the worst of the worst from the state.
- 35:13Speaker 2: They all dressed in black today, And I remember prosecuting.
- 35:19Speaker 2: I never wore like red, yellow, vibrant orange because the
- 35:23Speaker 2: cases I prosecuted were all violent felonies, and it just
- 35:27Speaker 2: seemed wrong. It just seemed inappropriate, and so it's a
- 35:32Speaker 2: very solemn note. And you know that did he orchestrated
- 35:36Speaker 2: right down to what they were wearing.
- 35:39Speaker 6: Yeah, I think you're right, Nancy. What I will say
- 35:42Speaker 6: though here is that there's a little bit of performance
- 35:45Speaker 6: going on to with the kids. I don't want to
- 35:47Speaker 6: go after someone's kids for their parents' crimes, but it
- 35:51Speaker 6: has been on Dieted that public kids have had a
- 35:54Speaker 6: really amazing life because of their dad and because of
- 35:57Speaker 6: what their dad do and does and who they're d is.
- 36:00Speaker 6: These are not the von Trapp family. They have seen
- 36:04Speaker 6: a lot. These kids have been around his parties, they've
- 36:08Speaker 6: been around.
- 36:09Speaker 1: The von Trapp family.
- 36:11Speaker 2: Did you just you're you're talking about what the seven
- 36:16Speaker 2: children of.
- 36:19Speaker 1: Excuse me?
- 36:19Speaker 2: And sound of music that would put on those frogs
- 36:23Speaker 2: and seeing and the family music. First of all, yeah, no,
- 36:27Speaker 2: the von Traps, they ain't.
- 36:28Speaker 1: That's true.
- 36:29Speaker 6: Go ahead, they ain't that. This is a family that
- 36:32Speaker 6: has been around money, power, fame, celebrities, sex violence. They've
- 36:37Speaker 6: heard their dad songs, they've wrapped along to other rap artists.
- 36:43Speaker 6: These are very aggressive lifestyles and they were born into
- 36:47Speaker 6: this lifestyle. So they're really used to seeing hearing and
- 36:53Speaker 6: maybe even participating in some very very very what we
- 36:57Speaker 6: would consider strange scenes, strange environments. So I wouldn't feel
- 37:02Speaker 6: too bad for the kids here. I think that they're
- 37:05Speaker 6: part of the Combes family. It's a deal that maybe
- 37:08Speaker 6: they didn't want to make, they had no choice in it,
- 37:10Speaker 6: but they've been born into this lifestyle and they have
- 37:13Speaker 6: benefited from their dad's success for his money.
- 37:17Speaker 2: You know, I'm very surprised you brought up the von
- 37:19Speaker 2: Trapp family. Weren't they raised by a nun sister Maria
- 37:23Speaker 2: remember her aka Julie Andrews. Okay, these children have not
- 37:28Speaker 2: been raised by a nun. Okay, but following up on
- 37:32Speaker 2: what you said to me, doctor Bethany Marshall, that makes
- 37:35Speaker 2: me feel for these children even more so because they.
- 37:39Speaker 1: Never had what I had.
- 37:41Speaker 2: Of course, I grew up on a red dirt road,
- 37:43Speaker 2: drinking water from well my grandfather dug in the backyard.
- 37:47Speaker 1: Okay, but you know what I did have.
- 37:50Speaker 2: I had a mother that took care of me and
- 37:53Speaker 2: a father. Both of them worked all day into the night,
- 37:58Speaker 2: came home, had we with us, and they were there
- 38:03Speaker 2: for me. I mean, it ain't easy for my dad
- 38:06Speaker 2: to work on the railroad and my mom to work.
- 38:09Speaker 1: At a factory.
- 38:11Speaker 2: Right, but they did, but we had love. These children
- 38:16Speaker 2: never had that constant in their life. Now they're sitting
- 38:19Speaker 2: in their dad's felony trial. A lot of people have
- 38:21Speaker 2: asked me, Wow, how do you feel about Christian cons
- 38:24Speaker 2: putting you on a disc track. I didn't see it
- 38:26Speaker 2: that way at all. I didn't see it as a
- 38:29Speaker 2: disc at all. I saw it as an adult son
- 38:33Speaker 2: trying to take up for his father. And I actually
- 38:35Speaker 2: feel bad that they're in that position.
- 38:37Speaker 1: I need two, Nancy.
- 38:38Speaker 3: They've been raised in a culture of sex, abuse of violence,
- 38:42Speaker 3: a culture of narcissism, guns, multiple mothers, house siblings. You know,
- 38:47Speaker 3: it's just a very confusing environment. And you know this
- 38:51Speaker 3: is going to be a therapeutic experience for them sitting
- 38:53Speaker 3: in court because they have to take in all kinds
- 38:55Speaker 3: of information about it.
- 38:57Speaker 1: You lost your mind? Have you lost your mind?
- 39:00Speaker 2: You're calling your father accused of sex trafficking therapeutic? Okay, yes,
- 39:05Speaker 2: I call You're out the Beverly Hills and I was
- 39:09Speaker 2: raised on a dirt road, But iin nothing therapeutic about
- 39:12Speaker 2: hearing the try about your father that he's tress.
- 39:15Speaker 3: So I do, Nancy, because they have to be in reality.
- 39:18Speaker 3: They've been lived and they've been raised in an upside
- 39:20Speaker 3: down world. Listen to what Agnipolos said today. Okay, so
- 39:25Speaker 3: when he says that Cassie Ventura was just trying to
- 39:28Speaker 3: please her man, you know, just because your man wants
- 39:32Speaker 3: it and you don't, but you're going to do it
- 39:34Speaker 3: to make him happy. He's basically saying women need to
- 39:37Speaker 3: take it up.
- 39:38Speaker 1: Okay.
- 39:39Speaker 3: As an analyst, I hear all the metaphors. I help
- 39:43Speaker 3: those kids sitting in court carrying all this degradation of
- 39:48Speaker 3: women have a good therapist to talk to so they
- 39:50Speaker 3: can make sense of it, and all of this putting
- 39:52Speaker 3: women down because Cassie Ventura got twenty million dollars. You know,
- 39:56Speaker 3: with Michael Jackson when he paid his first victim thirty
- 40:00Speaker 3: million dollars, we didn't say that nine.
- 40:02Speaker 1: Year old was a gold digger.
- 40:04Speaker 4: We said Michael Jackson must have done something.
- 40:06Speaker 3: Really, really bad if he paid out thirty million dollars
- 40:10Speaker 3: and all this money. I think it is because it's
- 40:14Speaker 3: because P Diddy really needs to cover his tracks.
- 40:17Speaker 1: Not everyone agrees with the Didty team.
- 40:21Speaker 12: Listen, well, yours actually next week, we'll start deliberating. But
- 40:28Speaker 12: what they're going to remember is what happened at that
- 40:32Speaker 12: hotel right behind me.
- 40:34Speaker 2: Tell it man, that's from Oris Apato at TikTok straight
- 40:39Speaker 2: out to the courthouse to Sydney Sumner Crime Story's investigative reporter,
- 40:43Speaker 2: what happened.
- 40:44Speaker 9: Judge Supermanian wrapped up jury instructions and sent the five
- 40:48Speaker 9: alternates home, of course, reminding them to stay by their
- 40:51Speaker 9: phones and stay off social media on the chance they
- 40:54Speaker 9: may be called up to the final jury. Now, the
- 40:57Speaker 9: final jury was sent off to begin to live. They
- 41:00Speaker 9: needed to choose a four person before they got any
- 41:03Speaker 9: further into their discussions, and that decision was made pretty quickly.
- 41:07Speaker 9: Juror number five selected as the jury four person. Now,
- 41:11Speaker 9: with the jury out of the room, Judge supermani and
- 41:14Speaker 9: did stop to congratulate both the prosecutors and the defense
- 41:17Speaker 9: on a case well tried and well defended before Sean
- 41:21Speaker 9: Colmes was sent off to his holding cell. Colmes was
- 41:24Speaker 9: allowed to bring a book with him and he will
- 41:26Speaker 9: remain in that cell until the jury ends their deliberations
- 41:30Speaker 9: for the day or comes back with a verdict, and
- 41:32Speaker 9: that could be after five pm. Supermani and left their
- 41:35Speaker 9: schedule up to the jurors. As Colmes was led away
- 41:39Speaker 9: from the courtroom, his family all stood, they were holding hands,
- 41:43Speaker 9: their heads were bowed, and when Judge Supermani and got
- 41:46Speaker 9: off the bench, they actually started clapping before they made
- 41:49Speaker 9: their own way out of the courtroom. Now it wasn't
- 41:51Speaker 9: long before we heard some movement from the jury. They
- 41:54Speaker 9: actually passed a note to the judge and it expressed
- 41:57Speaker 9: concern over one of the jurors on this final panel.
- 42:01Speaker 9: They were afraid that Juror number twenty five cannot follow
- 42:05Speaker 9: the instructions that Judge Supermanian gave them. So it's unclear
- 42:09Speaker 9: exactly what happened in that deliberation room, but there's apparently
- 42:13Speaker 9: already some dissonance back there. Ultimately, Judge Supermanian didn't make
- 42:17Speaker 9: any move to have some kind of confrontation with Juror
- 42:21Speaker 9: twenty five, sending a note back that just said, you've
- 42:23Speaker 9: heard my instructions, you need to follow them. That's the
- 42:26Speaker 9: duty that you were charged with.
- 42:28Speaker 1: What will the jury do?
- 42:30Speaker 2: We are in a verdict watch and now we remember
- 42:34Speaker 2: an American hero officer, Jacob Chaffin's Prestonburg PD just twenty eight,
- 42:40Speaker 2: shot in the line of duty after three years with
- 42:43Speaker 2: l E. Lee's behind, wife Savannah, and daughter Paisley. American
- 42:49Speaker 2: Hero officer Jacob Chaffins, Nancy Gray signing off goodbye friend
- 43:00Speaker 11: Y.
