Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: George. I'm a homegirl that knows a little bit about
- 0:04Speaker 1: everything and everybody. You don't know if you don't lie
- 0:07Speaker 1: about that, right Lauren, Hey, y'all, this is Laura la
- 0:11Speaker 1: Rosa for the Latest with Laura Rosa. I am here
- 0:14Speaker 1: on the scene at the courthouse following Diddy being denied
- 0:18Speaker 1: bond for now what a third time, but this time
- 0:22Speaker 1: being after the verdict has come down. So we talked
- 0:25Speaker 1: about earlier Diddy being found not guilty on three out
- 0:28Speaker 1: of five charges, the Rico charge specifically not sticking. He
- 0:32Speaker 1: was looking at up to life for that Rico conspiracy
- 0:35Speaker 1: and it did not stick.
- 0:36Speaker 2: He was convicted for engaging in transportation of individuals for prostitution,
- 0:41Speaker 2: two accounts of that. Now there's a conversation happening around
- 0:45Speaker 2: this bond being denied about you know this was this
- 0:48Speaker 2: fair or not. As we prepare to talk about that,
- 0:51Speaker 2: I want to take a look behind us, because what
- 0:52Speaker 2: you see are Diddy's children and Diddy's family are loading
- 0:56Speaker 2: into these sprinters. Now. When they left earlier from this
- 0:59Speaker 2: exact scene, the vibe was a bit different. You heard
- 1:02Speaker 2: people chancing free Diddy, you heard people cheering, You saw
- 1:05Speaker 2: them dancing I don't know if this will be the
- 1:07Speaker 2: same exact feeling when they are walking out this time,
- 1:10Speaker 2: only because the bond has just been denied. And obviously
- 1:14Speaker 2: that was a very emotional moment for his family who
- 1:17Speaker 2: thought that their dad, you know, their child's father, their friend,
- 1:22Speaker 2: their confidant may be coming home until his sentencing happened
- 1:26Speaker 2: in October. Now let's get on into it. So as
- 1:31Speaker 2: we came back up into court today, the judge went
- 1:34Speaker 2: right into it. The judge said, listen, I hear what
- 1:38Speaker 2: the defense is saying about him being allowed to be
- 1:41Speaker 2: able to go home until the sentencing happens. The sentencing
- 1:44Speaker 2: will be early October, right, And Diddy's team has actually
- 1:48Speaker 2: act for a speedy sentencing because the judge has just
- 1:51Speaker 2: heard and watched all of this information over the last
- 1:53Speaker 2: eight weeks, and they're like, while it's fresh in your mind,
- 1:56Speaker 2: we want to make sure that the sentencing happens soon
- 1:59Speaker 2: because with their going is, they're gonna want a very
- 2:01Speaker 2: They're gonna want a sentencing that has some empathy in it.
- 2:04Speaker 2: They don't want the judge to lose that right. The
- 2:06Speaker 2: judge made it very clear from the rip that the
- 2:08Speaker 2: bomb was denied he went into the reasoning and he
- 2:10Speaker 2: talked about the fact that there was additional violence with
- 2:13Speaker 2: Jane Doe following the indictment, following the fact that Diddy
- 2:18Speaker 2: knew that he was under a microscope. They talked about
- 2:21Speaker 2: the fact that in all of the other cases, and
- 2:23Speaker 2: Diddy's team argued this in their response, like they argued, down,
- 2:27Speaker 2: I wish I had a recorder so that you guys
- 2:30Speaker 2: could hear how Diddy's attorney pled and begged for him
- 2:33Speaker 2: to be able to go home once the bomb was denied.
- 2:37Speaker 2: But the judge that, listen, we're really talking about any
- 2:40Speaker 2: previous case, law, right. They brought up a few other
- 2:43Speaker 2: cases where a number one you know, Diddy team kept saying,
- 2:47Speaker 2: this is very exceptional, right, because the circumstances are so
- 2:50Speaker 2: different here, right, And they said it's exceptional because in
- 2:53Speaker 2: previous cases pimps were involved. Diddy is not a pimps.
- 2:57Speaker 2: And they made a point that like the you know,
- 2:59Speaker 2: in this one per particular case, the pimp that was
- 3:01Speaker 2: involved made over one point four million dollars did he
- 3:03Speaker 2: did not make any money off of his acts. They
- 3:06Speaker 2: also brought up the fact that normally in cases like this,
- 3:09Speaker 2: there are businesses, business entities that make money off of
- 3:12Speaker 2: the actions that happen in a ring like this or
- 3:16Speaker 2: in whatever. This is his prostitution thing that the judge
- 3:19Speaker 2: and the jury believe that Didd he is guilty of.
- 3:22Speaker 2: And they made it very clear the only person being
- 3:25Speaker 2: charged for this and that will serve time for this
- 3:27Speaker 2: and as serving consequence for this. There's no business entity here.
- 3:31Speaker 2: It is just Sean Colmes. So they tried to pose
- 3:33Speaker 2: those two US arguments. Did these team? The judge listened
- 3:37Speaker 2: and heard them out. Did He's attorney probably went for
- 3:39Speaker 2: a good twenty thirty minutes. He talks about his kids
- 3:42Speaker 2: being in the stands and you know his kids, you
- 3:45Speaker 2: know some of their mothers not being here, talking about
- 3:49Speaker 2: Kimporter and you know the tragic death of Keimporter and
- 3:52Speaker 2: them needing their dad around, And even that emotional plea
- 3:55Speaker 2: it did not work. The judge brought it right back
- 3:57Speaker 2: around and said, let us not forget where we left
- 4:00Speaker 2: off before you started this pleat his bond has been denied.
- 4:05Speaker 2: We basically the court is saying they are afraid that
- 4:07Speaker 2: Diddy is a danger to the community because of the
- 4:10Speaker 2: Cassie video, because of his blatant disrespect for the law
- 4:14Speaker 2: and the court and the government, and his actions following
- 4:17Speaker 2: the indictment coming down, including his incident with Jane, including
- 4:20Speaker 2: everything they found in the hotel room when he was arrested.
- 4:24Speaker 2: After everything went down, They're like, listen, we can't trust it,
- 4:27Speaker 2: and we won't. We will not. The craziest part of
- 4:31Speaker 2: this all is that the judge was able to cite
- 4:33Speaker 2: specific lines, specific lines from the defensive testimony where they
- 4:38Speaker 2: conceded to the violence, domestic violence, but violence that did
- 4:42Speaker 2: he did? I thought that that And even during that
- 4:46Speaker 2: I remember like the third line in did he looked
- 4:48Speaker 2: over his attorneys and there was one point where his
- 4:50Speaker 2: attorneys mentioned that did he wanted to speak to the
- 4:52Speaker 2: judge himself? And then Nicole Westmoreland, who is the black
- 4:56Speaker 2: woman attorney on did He's team got up and began
- 4:59Speaker 2: to go have a commerce with Diddy, and I'm assuming
- 5:01Speaker 2: she was kind of advising him on that if that
- 5:03Speaker 2: were to happen. It didn't happen. He didn't even get
- 5:05Speaker 2: the chance. The prosecutors stood ten toes down on we
- 5:10Speaker 2: will work with his team and the probation offices to
- 5:13Speaker 2: make sure that he gets a speedy sentencing because we
- 5:16Speaker 2: hear them, but it is a danger to the community
- 5:19Speaker 2: to release him, and the judge agreed Diddy will not
- 5:22Speaker 2: be released on bond. Tuesday, July eighth, there will be
- 5:25Speaker 2: a virtual hearing where they'll get on and discuss some
- 5:29Speaker 2: of the sentencing, just the logistics of everything and how
- 5:32Speaker 2: all that will work. But no, Diddy is not walking
- 5:35Speaker 2: free today. What's crazy about this? And just having conversations
- 5:38Speaker 2: outside of the courtroom one of the biggest things, because
- 5:41Speaker 2: I said it in my last video, I wouldn't have
- 5:43Speaker 2: been surprised if the judge had given Diddy a bond,
- 5:45Speaker 2: only because I felt like he had began to almost
- 5:48Speaker 2: be able to see the full scope of everything, like, yes,
- 5:54Speaker 2: these things happen. Yes he was caught right handed doing
- 5:57Speaker 2: some of these things. But the drug addiction come into play?
- 6:02Speaker 2: Did alcohol come into play? Bad decision making has been
- 6:05Speaker 2: in play from the very beginning, right, But I began
- 6:09Speaker 2: to weigh different things that the judge made wait because
- 6:11Speaker 2: obviously a jury weided they did not convict him on
- 6:14Speaker 2: some of the more serious charges, right the judge very
- 6:18Speaker 2: different story, very different story, And I'm not surprised that
- 6:21Speaker 2: it was denied. I've said in my earlier videos that
- 6:24Speaker 2: you also like this was brought up earlier. The violence
- 6:27Speaker 2: and the things that he did and his disregard for
- 6:30Speaker 2: the law were brought up earlier. That is literally the
- 6:32Speaker 2: reason and the judge ever brought this up the first
- 6:34Speaker 2: multiple times that did he was denied bond was because
- 6:38Speaker 2: of his violence that they saw on camera, and a
- 6:42Speaker 2: judge did not want to give him a chance to
- 6:44Speaker 2: endanger anybody else. So we will say lots. We will
- 6:47Speaker 2: stay here, we will stay on the case physically not here,
- 6:49Speaker 2: but y'all, I'm gonna keep yall updated with the latest
- 6:51Speaker 2: because that is what we do. Unfortunately, for his family,
- 6:55Speaker 2: they will not be celebrated on a holiday weekend with
- 6:57Speaker 2: their dad, with their grandpa, with their is he a granddad?
- 7:01Speaker 2: They ain't no granddad with their dad with their you know,
- 7:03Speaker 2: their their friend with their confidant. But you know, they
- 7:06Speaker 2: do still have sentencing to look forward to, and I
- 7:09Speaker 2: think Diddy's team made a really, really good argument about
- 7:11Speaker 2: making sure the sentencing happened fast while the judge has
- 7:14Speaker 2: all of these memories and test someone that's fresh in
- 7:16Speaker 2: his head, because what they're gonna want to hope to
- 7:18Speaker 2: is is that the sentencing is not harsh. So I'll
- 7:22Speaker 2: keep y'all updated. Make sure you guys check me out
