  Speaker 3: It was a.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: Scene out here, people coming out of the courthouse screaming.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: We didn't really know what was going on, but there
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: is a lot of press out here, a lot of
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: police presence, and jury's election is expected to last about
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: a week.
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: It's the image to Robert Crispin on the case from

• 1:56
  Speaker 1: and now this is the impaneling jury. This is sixty
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: to one hundred people. They're gonna whittle down to twelve jurrars.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: But when they look over at the defense and he's
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: got a fleet an army of lawyers that they're like,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: it takes that many lawyers to get your rear end out.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Of the sling. You've gotten it into bad look.
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's going to be pounded into their head. You know,
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: you're innocent until proven guilty.
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: But they're going to look up and they.
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: Be like, wow, that's a lot of lawyers.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: What is going on here?
• 2:26
  Speaker 7: What am I going to learn.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: You know you're taking a look at Shawn Combs in
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: some of his finery. I can't wait to hear how
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: he dudes up in court again, joining me an all
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: star panel. This on the eve of Shawn Comes rejecting
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: a plea deal.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: Listen.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: At his last pre trial hearing, prosecutors revealed that Seawan
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Diddycombs had one last chance to avoid trial, but rejected
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: a plea deal. Federal prosecutor Madison Schmeiser disclosed that the
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: deal was offered, but remained secretive about the terms. Instead,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: jury will be called to hear at least three weeks
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: of graphic witness testimony regarding year's worth of beatings, drug
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: fueled coercive sex marathons, and multiple rapes.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Joining US high profile lawyer Eric Fattus, TV Legal analyst
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: founding partner Varner Fattus Elite Legal, rejecting a plea deal.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: You know what I think is behind that.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I think he could not admit that what he did
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: was wrong. That he is guilty, no matter how sweet
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: the deal, unless it was straight probation.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Sean Comes is not.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Going to take a deal, Eric Fattus, even though it
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: may be in his best interest.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: He just shot himself in the foot.
• 3:42
  Speaker 7: Well, Nancy, you know, as you know, he's proclaimed his
• 3:44
  Speaker 7: innocence from the beginning, and a deal would likely involve
• 3:48
  Speaker 7: years in prison. I would think, you know, he's not
• 3:51
  Speaker 7: the youngest guy in the world, and so if he
• 3:54
  Speaker 7: did take a plea deal, that could be a death
• 3:56
  Speaker 7: sentence for him professionally. You know, he has all of
• 3:59
  Speaker 7: these tracks and brand deals and that kind of thing,
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: or at least he had them, and to try to
• 4:04
  Speaker 7: have some semblance of the possibility of getting those later,
• 4:06
  Speaker 7: he would need to prevail at this priss and a
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: plea deal would not allow for them.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what, the death now is ringing doomsday
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: for Diddy. You're saying that if he pled guilty that
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: would ruin his what public persona?
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Are you kidding me? That's ruined? What what are you
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: talking about?
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: He's already been charged under multi count federal indictment of drugging.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: You know what.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Straight out to Lynn Shaw joining me, founder executive director
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Lyn's Warriors, dedicated to ending sex violence on girls and women.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: His public image, Hey, do we.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Have that picture of Shawn Comes wearing a crown at
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: one of his free coughs. What public image, Lynn Shaw,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: There is no public image.
• 4:52
  Speaker 8: Dirty Dinny is going down. We are so happy and
• 4:56
  Speaker 8: grateful for today because finally, finally victims and survivors can
• 5:00
  Speaker 8: see some sort of accountability that it got this far.
• 5:03
  Speaker 8: And yes, it'll be very graphic in court, but it's
• 5:06
  Speaker 8: about time the public. Here's the truths and the realities
• 5:09
  Speaker 8: of what goes on with sex trafficking. We have to
• 5:13
  Speaker 8: all get on board. They are all waiting, and not
• 5:16
  Speaker 8: only victims and survivors. I guess alleged I'm supposed to
• 5:19
  Speaker 8: say of this criminal. I guess I'm supposed to say alleged,
• 5:20
  Speaker 8: but I'm saying criminal. We here in New York City.
• 5:23
  Speaker 8: I can't tell you the messages I am receiving. This
• 5:26
  Speaker 8: is finally happening. We've been waiting eight months, powerful man.
• 5:30
  Speaker 8: There is no public image, there are no brand deals.
• 5:33
  Speaker 8: He crossed the wrong people, and Dirty Diddy is done.
• 5:37
  Speaker 8: Now it's time for the public to weigh in. And
• 5:39
  Speaker 8: you know what, this is going.
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: Down down down.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: This is the state's case to screw up.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: They have got witnesses, they have got freak off videos.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: What Sean Combs has is a very powerful and charismatic
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: presence in the courtroom, and he's got a fleet of
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: some of the best lawyers in the country.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Number One, he turns down a plea deal.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: This literally as the jury is filing in, drinking in.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Shawn Combs and all of his lawyers.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: This after another failed bid to delay the trial.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: Listen Sean Ditty.
• 6:17
  Speaker 9: Combs loses his bid to delay trial and jury selection
• 6:20
  Speaker 9: begins as celebrities did. He once bumped arms with Gather
• 6:23
  Speaker 9: from the met Gala. Judge Arun Supermanian has allowed Combs
• 6:27
  Speaker 9: to ditch his prison clothes for the proceedings where prosecutors
• 6:30
  Speaker 9: plan to prove to a jury. Combs used his many
• 6:33
  Speaker 9: business enterprises to facilitate free COFs featuring male prostitutes and
• 6:37
  Speaker 9: women coerced into the performance. Opening statements are expected on
• 6:41
  Speaker 9: May twelfth.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Straight back to the courthouse.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Standing there with us, Lauren Connlin, Lauren, how long do
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: we believe jury selection will take?
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: Jury selection is supposed to take a week.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: Nancy, But I think it's going to be pretty difficult here.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: I mean, Diddy is pretty well known in New York City.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: If you remember, he was actually once given the key
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: to New York City by the mayor. But as far
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: as the questionnaire goes for the jury, there have been
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: filings that said that the potential jurors will be asked
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: how they feel about multiple sex partners, how they feel
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: about hip hop artists and the hip hop industry.
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: They will be asked about if they have had.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: Any experience being sexually assaulted, and this will actually be
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: written or verbal depending on what the jury purfers. And
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: Sean Holmes will be present for all of that questioning.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the questions are very invasive on the jury, Lauren,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: what does Diddy look like?
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: Well, Diddy walked in wearing a dark crew neck sweater
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: and a dress shirt.
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: He was not wearing a tie.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: We know that he had a big win where he
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: was granted the ability to wear his own clothes. He's
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: a fashionable guy. He will be able to switch up, yes,
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: between five dress shirts, by sweaters, by socks, and two
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: pairs of shoes without laces. And yeah, I'm thinking here,
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: I mean, he must be pretty crushing. I see the
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: met Galla tonight, his friend Lebron James ho shairing it
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: and he's stuck in federal courts.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: You know what, Doctor Bethany Marshall joining us. Renow Psycho
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Analy's joining us out of la author of deal Breaker.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: You can see her now on Peacock, Doctor Bethany. That
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: has got to her because there is Sean Combs in
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: a federal courtroom, you know, dressed up, all these jurrors
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: coming in to take a look at him and his
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: fleet of lawyers. While across town the met Gala is
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: going on, and he has always been a star there.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Remember all the outfits. Oh there he is laying on
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: the steps. Okay, capes, walking canes, dripping in jewelry.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there we go. The met Gala is his thing. Now,
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: see it's his thing.
• 8:56
  Speaker 10: You know that necklace he's wearing right there that looks
• 8:58
  Speaker 10: like it's about an eighty carrot diamond cross necklace. I
• 9:03
  Speaker 10: think he's probably experiencing what we would say in my
• 9:06
  Speaker 10: field a narcissistic injury, meaning in his world he's king.
• 9:11
  Speaker 10: That's why he wears the king's crown. So the fact
• 9:16
  Speaker 10: that he's in a cell with five outsets available to
• 9:20
  Speaker 10: him is going to be very injurious. P Diddy thinks
• 9:23
  Speaker 10: he's right. He still thinks he's the ring leader of
• 9:28
  Speaker 10: the circus of filth and that everybody's.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Going to follow along.
• 9:30
  Speaker 10: And that's why he won't take a plea because with
• 9:33
  Speaker 10: people like p Ditty, they are so aggressively certain that
• 9:38
  Speaker 10: their position is correct that they don't back down. In fact,
• 9:42
  Speaker 10: they really take on the fight. You would think P.
• 9:45
  Speaker 10: Ditty would go into court and try to manipulate by
• 9:48
  Speaker 10: t taking the plea, but he's not going to do that.
• 9:51
  Speaker 10: He's not going to would be manipulative. He's going to
• 9:53
  Speaker 10: insist that he is right and that everybody should conform
• 9:56
  Speaker 10: to him. He's probably doing that with his attorneys right now. Well,
• 10:00
  Speaker 10: and that's going to make this trial fascinating.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: You know, Eric Fattas, that was always a moment for
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: me in the courtroom when.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: The jurors to being paneled. I don't mean the twelve
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: on the Pettit jury. I mean the huge panel from
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: which you select the Pettit jury of twelve.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: That was always a moment.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: If I were to have been nervous in courtroom, that
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: would have been that that moment, because that's something you
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: cannot plan for, that's something you cannot anticipate. You don't
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: know the jurors' names or who they are before that moment.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: I would know who all my witnesses were going to be.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I would know down to the question what they were
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: going to say.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: I need the evidence. I was bringing it in. It
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: was all marked, ready to go.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I was waiting, waiting to commence trial, completely prepared.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: The one thing you cannot prepare for is the jury.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Who those jurrrs are, and they're going to need at
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: least two hundred jars just to start to whittle it
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: down to twelve. You don't know where they're from, what
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: their experiences are, who they are, You've never seen them before.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: It's like shaking up a pot and picking out a number.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: That's what the jury selection process is. You have no
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: way to prepare for that. What about it, Faddus, Yeah, I.
• 11:18
  Speaker 7: Mean, look, you can only make one first impression, right,
• 11:21
  Speaker 7: and so the jury's coming in that they're serving the courtroom,
• 11:24
  Speaker 7: they're looking at the prosecutors, the judge, but at some
• 11:26
  Speaker 7: point they're going to be laser focused on Diddy. What
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: is he wearing, What is his demeanor like, how is
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: he presenting? What are his facial expressions, What are his
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: reactions to what the prosecutors saying, what the defense is saying,
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: what the judges, saying, all of those things are going
• 11:40
  Speaker 7: to be closely surveilled by these potential jurors as they're
• 11:44
  Speaker 7: getting acquainted with the court group process and the participants
• 11:47
  Speaker 7: there in.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Crime stories with Nancy Grace, we are getting reports from
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: the courtroom. Lauren Conlin, Lauren joining us at the courthouse.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Seawn Kime's dressed in the navy pullover?
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: What what?
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: What is he going for? The Harvard freshman look? A
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Navy pullover?
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: My rear end.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: I've never seen him in a pullover in my life.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, I saw the.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Menendez brothers trying to pull that off in court. Didn't work.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: But Sean comes mister style and a pullover.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: What well, Nancy, as you know, what you wear as
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: a defendant in court is really important. You said it
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: yourself the Menendez brothers. I mean, he wants to create
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: this image in the courthouse for the jurors that he's
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: this innocent guy. His only crime, Nancy, as he said,
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: is being a swinger, and that's what he wants to
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: get across. He is not this sexual devian, he is
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: not this criminal mastermind. He's just a guy that engages
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: in a casual sex.
• 13:00
  Speaker 11: Did he dressed like a college freshman. As crowds lining
• 13:03
  Speaker 11: the block to get into the courtroom, US Marshalls and
• 13:06
  Speaker 11: NYPD set up barricades to control flow of people.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: The shots you're seeing right now are of Sean Combs
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: aka Ditty aka Puff aka Puff Daddy aka Love It
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: goes On and on. Are of him at the mat Gala.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: There he is getting his star on the Walk of Fame.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: There.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Now we're back at the met Gala, and there he
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: is with Cassie Ventia. I call her victim number one.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: And that is all going down across town. As Diddy
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: is facing looking all his potential jurors eye to eye,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: wonder what they're thinking. Guarantee this he is not blinged
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: out in the courtroom. He's trying to look like a
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Harvard freshman. Let's see if that works. But what are
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: the jurors thinking?
• 13:57
  Speaker 11: Take a listen, Sean Ditty Combs defense lawyers insist he
• 14:01
  Speaker 11: isn't a rapist but a swinger. Attorney Mark Agnifilo tells
• 14:04
  Speaker 11: the court Comb simply engaged in a swinger lifestyle, seeing
• 14:08
  Speaker 11: nothing wrong with his behavior because it's common. Agnifilo asserts
• 14:12
  Speaker 11: it's so common that many people find the lifestyle appropriate.
• 14:16
  Speaker 11: In a March filing, lawyer Alexandra Shapiro wrote, prosecutors always
• 14:20
  Speaker 11: seem to conclude that the sex lives of black men
• 14:23
  Speaker 11: are bad enough to deserve punishment.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: What, okay, don't hate me because I'm a swinger. A swinger,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: that's not at all what this case is about.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: Number one.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Most of the jurors are not gonna like the idea
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: of swinging number one, which is multiple sex partners by agreement.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: But that said, let's just take a look at what
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: I think will probably be states Exhibit number two.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: After the free cough video. This is from our friends
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: at CNN. Let's just watch it in full. What now?
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: This is part of being in a.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Consensual qu swinging relationship. Consentual out Okay, you think Cassie Ventira, Oh,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: consented to that man? It's like he's working. Uh, he's
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: out for the Boca Junior Soccer Club. That was one
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: kick and it was right to her vital organs. Now,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: according to reports, this is Cassie Ventior, his so called
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: consensual sex partner, trying to flee a multi day free
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: cough where the women are drugged, completely slathered in baby
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: oil and then raped on video. No wonder she was running. Okay,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: there's petulant Diddy. Yeah he's not happy. Ow okay, there
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: goes about a two thousand dollars vase right there in
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: the Intercontinental. Now, one of the trial ploys is that
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: CNN doctored the tape. Really, that's the best you've got,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Brian Steele and Agnafello. That CNN one of the most
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: trusted names in the news business.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: That sounds like an ad Oh it is doctored the tape.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Well, according to sources, prosecutors have gotten the full and
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: unedited tape to play to the jury.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: So be careful. What you wish Seawan comes for, you
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: will surely get it.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: You don't want the edited tape where CNN do it
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: want to play thirty minutes of you chasing Cassie up
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: and down the hall. The jury can watch the entire
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: unedited tape.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: I wonder what's going to be on that.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: And to suggest that CNN or anybody else doctor the evidence,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: you are really at the bottom of the barrel. I
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: would not say that in front of the jury, but hey,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: you know what, go ahead, let's talk about swinging to
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: doctor Bethany Marshall joining us psychoanalyst out of la at
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: doctor Bethany Marshall dot com. Doctor Bethany explain that whole
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: thing as you know, you know how I feel, open marriage,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: open casket.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: But that's just me.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: I have had that mate into a T shirt which
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: are wear on my anniversary. But swinging, doctor Bethany, how's
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: injury going to react to that?
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 17:10
  Speaker 10: I think juries are pretty mature and they can understand
• 17:12
  Speaker 10: what swinging is.
• 17:13
  Speaker 12: Swinging is when.
• 17:14
  Speaker 10: A couple opens up the relationship to a third party.
• 17:17
  Speaker 10: And you know, swingers play by very specific rules. They're
• 17:20
  Speaker 10: not cheating on each other, they're not going out behind
• 17:23
  Speaker 10: each other's backs. Typically one couple hooks up with an
• 17:27
  Speaker 10: individual or they hook up with another couple. So it's
• 17:30
  Speaker 10: very it's very sedate in some ways, it's very consensual.
• 17:34
  Speaker 10: And I do say multi partner family configurations in my
• 17:39
  Speaker 10: office where they may be maybe four or five.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: People is a part of a couple.
• 17:42
  Speaker 10: They are so kind, they are so polite.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Could you repeat that what you have cludis in your
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: office and they not heard the words four or five?
• 17:49
  Speaker 10: What four or five members of the romantic configuration where
• 17:54
  Speaker 10: they all respect each.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: Other shaving configuration.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: How's injury going to respons that's true, four or five
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: members of a sex configuration, that's right?
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: Is that what you just said? That is exactly what
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: I said. And what's interesting. I don't care.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: But when women wake up having been drugged and their
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: vaginas and their anises hurt, I mean, Robert Crispin joining me,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: it's just address what doctor Bethany just said. I'm not
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: saying she's wrong, and I don't care. I don't care
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: what anybody else does. Cats and dogs sleeping together, I
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: don't care. But when women wake up after being looted,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: quay looted, ruthied, and their private parts are hurting and bleeding,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: and then later on Crispin, they find out that there's
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: a video of them where their limbs have been arranged
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: to get a better angle as they are raped, that
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: is what the state is talking about. They're not talking
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: about whatever that was that doctor Bethany just said.
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think you're going Nancy with that angle, because
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: if they can get it out to the jury that
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: a lot of these people are swingers, then that's going
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: to kind of dull down the freak offs, because the
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: freakoffs of a bunch of people having sex at the
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: same time. And if you can buy one or two
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: jurors and tell them that this was nothing more than
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: just swinging, then they may go, all right, so it's freakoffs.
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: Is a bunch of people who like to be with
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: other sex partners? Yeah, okay, I don't have a problem
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: because I do it. No, not mean, but they might
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: go I do it?
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Okay, put him on. Wait wait, so wait a minute,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Wait a minute, wait, wait, wait, hold on, Slow down, Nelly.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: You're saying the jury is going to react to this.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: How I mean, think about the odds. Okay, the Vegas odds.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: You were in vice, you can relate to that before
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: you were in homicide and DOJ and your illustrious career
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: the odds. How many swingers do you think you're going
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: to get on this jury? You might get a couple
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: of people that have cheated and don't want anybody to
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: find out. That chance that they're going to answer that
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: and a ger our questionnaire. Hgaln that is not going
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: to be put in the record. Oh yeah, I cheated
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: my wife all the time, so I don't care what
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: did he does. That's not going to happen So Crispin,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: let's just look at the odds. How many people do
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: you think are going to be on a jury of
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: twelve with let's say four maybe six alternates that are swingers.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: As doctor Bethany acts like, yeah, that happens all the time,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: guess what, Bethany. Maybe in la it happens all the time,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: but I don't think across the country it happens all
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: the time.
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: There are a larger group of people in all our
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: neighborhoods that are swingers, and I think that they had no.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: Where do you live?
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not living in a monastery, and I
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: don't really know what my neighbors are doing unless my
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: cat gets in their yard.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: But how would you you know?
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: You know what, We've worked in our time, and there's
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: just those type of crowd that's out there. And this
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: is unless you can think of another way. I can't.
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: This is one way to dispel the free colls and
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: to explain the free colls and take the bite away
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: from the jury that these were drug fueled rapes. If
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: you can get someone on a jury, listen only takes one.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: Maybe if I get two, how do you live with yourself?
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: Spewing that these were raped. You know what, I don't
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: under say it. Lynn Shaw is going to say it
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: for me.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Lynnshaw, can you address Crispin, because if you start listening
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: to Crispin and Fattest, you start thinking, oh, hey, maybe
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: it is more normal than I think. Hey, I don't
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: care if it's normal, but don't care what other people do.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: What I care about is a violation of the law.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: What I care about is a violent felony. And I
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: find it very hard to believe that kicking Cassi Ventira
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: in the stomach look like her kidney, hitting her in
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: the head, and literally dragging her like a caveman down
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: the hall back to.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: A freak cough.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: If it was so consensual, why was she being literally
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: dragged back to it?
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: Crispin.
• 22:12
  Speaker 8: I'm ashamed of you saying this because I've worked in entertainment.
• 22:15
  Speaker 8: I'm in the middle of New York City. I was
• 22:17
  Speaker 8: just part of being picked for a jury, and I
• 22:21
  Speaker 8: have to tell you here in New York I found
• 22:23
  Speaker 8: the other people rather conservative. Working in entertainment and being
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: around the music business. This really is not normal behavior.
• 22:30
  Speaker 8: If he wants to call himself this dirty diddy, bad
• 22:33
  Speaker 8: boy pullover sweater you know, a choir boy. He would
• 22:36
  Speaker 8: have come out in the beginning saying I'm a swinger.
• 22:38
  Speaker 8: All you have to do is look at the Cassie
• 22:41
  Speaker 8: Ventura tape. That's what the public will see, That's what
• 22:44
  Speaker 8: the jury will see, and they will hold him accountable.
• 22:46
  Speaker 8: There's been too much out in the press, out in
• 22:49
  Speaker 8: the world about this guy. They're going to look at
• 22:51
  Speaker 8: him and say he's rich, he's entitled. Cassie Ventura, That's
• 22:54
  Speaker 8: what they're going to look at. They don't care about
• 22:56
  Speaker 8: a pullover sweater. They don't care about swinging. It's done
• 23:00
  Speaker 8: going down. Everybody swinging.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: What did doctor Bethany say, consensual sex configurations of multiple partners? Okay,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: then if everything is so consensual, why did Diddy do this?
• 23:18
  Speaker 13: It's so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in
• 23:22
  Speaker 13: your life.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: Sometimes you gotta do that.
• 23:27
  Speaker 11: I was fuck up.
• 23:30
  Speaker 13: I mean, I hit rock bottom, But I make no excuses.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: My behavior on that video is inexcusable.
• 23:39
  Speaker 13: I take full responsibility for my actions in that video.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: Disgusted.
• 23:46
  Speaker 13: I was disgusted then when I did it.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: I'm disgusting now. I went and I sought out professional help.
• 23:56
  Speaker 13: Now to go into therapy I'm going to rehab. Had
• 24:02
  Speaker 13: to ask God for his mercy and grace. I'm so sorry,
• 24:15
  Speaker 13: but I'm committed to be a better man usin every day.
• 24:19
  Speaker 13: I'm not asking for forgiveness. I'm truly sorry.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: That was from Diddy's official Instagram page.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: Can we just address what he just said?
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: And I hope that that has been marked as the
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: states exhibit the apology because number one panel, listen up,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: I can't wait to hear your response on this.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: He says that was his quote darkest time. No it's not.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: It is so by far not your darkest time, the
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: time that you beat just one woman.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: Cassie Ventura.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, You've got a fleet of women
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: claiming you did that, and a lot worse. He says,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: I'm discussed, not half as disgusted as I am, or
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: not half as disgusted as how this.
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: Jury's gonna feel.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: And he's saying, I take full responsibility for what I did,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Really full responsibility. Then why aren't you pleading guilty?
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: And you know it goes on and on.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: He says he is going to go to rehab. Rehab.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: I never heard that Diddy went to rehab. Is one
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: person sitting on this panel that has ever heard that
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Sean Combs went to rehab.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: I can't wait to hear this. He goes on and on.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Jury selections starting right now. He says he wants mercy
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: and grace. You know what, you can get mercy and
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: grace behind bars. You don't have to be walking free
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: to get mercy and grace. Straight out to Lauren Collin
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: joining us at the courthouse, Lauren, tell me about the
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: scene this morning when everyone was trying to get into
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: the courthouse.
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: Yes, Nancy, it was crazy.
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: There were lines around the courthouse, incredibly crowded, lots of
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: police presence with barricades trying to control the flow of
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: people and the flow of press trying to get in
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: to report or observe on the jury selection.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: I say, one beefy looking guy that's walking around behind you.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: He's dressed in all gray. He looks like he's packing.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: From what I can tell from here, he looks like
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: a fed He just walked out of range of your camera.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: So I guess the courthouse is flanked with law enforcement.
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: Yes, it's flanked with law enforcement, as it should be.
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: Like I said, when I was here earlier, there was
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: people going crazy walking out of the courthouse, I thought
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: they had weapons. I thought they were going to do
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: something violent, so'm I was very thankful that there was
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: lots of police presence here.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Now we understand that there is a new defense on
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: the horizon. But before we get to that, to doctor
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Bethany Marshall, you heard that apology video.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: How's that going to play?
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Certainly they're going to bring it in because if everything
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: that happened with Cassie Ventiro, who is one of the
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: state's strongest witnesses and one of the few victims that
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: wants her name in open court. The other victims are
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: going by victim two, victim three, she's going by her name.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: The fact that he says it's all consensual, Then what
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: about that apology video? Did you get all that I'm
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: disgusted with myself? Not have as disgusted as I am.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: This is my darkest moment. No, no it's not. I
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: take full responsibility. Then why not plea I'm going to
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: go to rehab. No, no, it's too late for a rehab.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Plus he never went what about what he was saying
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: that apology video.
• 27:41
  Speaker 10: I love when he says I'm going to go to
• 27:43
  Speaker 10: therapy like he couldn't even pronounce the word. I'm like, yikes,
• 27:46
  Speaker 10: I hope he's not a patient coming into my office anyway.
• 27:49
  Speaker 10: What all of your listeners are going to recognize here
• 27:52
  Speaker 10: is the honeymoon phase of the cycle of abuse. Right
• 27:55
  Speaker 10: the man batters the woman, the woman tries to get away,
• 27:59
  Speaker 10: then he becomes remorseful, says he's going to do better,
• 28:03
  Speaker 10: that he's going to go to rehab, and then as
• 28:05
  Speaker 10: as soon as the woman comes back again, then the
• 28:09
  Speaker 10: perpetrator gains acendency and power over the woman again. It
• 28:14
  Speaker 10: is a cycle that repeats endlessly. And as I was
• 28:16
  Speaker 10: looking at his face right now, I thought of all
• 28:19
  Speaker 10: the women, women who are viewers who might be on
• 28:21
  Speaker 10: the jury, maybe jurors who have daughters or sons who
• 28:25
  Speaker 10: have been battered, and they have seen that face, they
• 28:28
  Speaker 10: have seen that person say, and all the abusers say
• 28:31
  Speaker 10: in all sincerity, I'm sorry, I'm going to get help.
• 28:35
  Speaker 10: I did not mean to do it, and they look
• 28:37
  Speaker 10: at the person and think, I know you're lying, because
• 28:40
  Speaker 10: you're just going to do it all over again. Jurors
• 28:43
  Speaker 10: aren't stupid, They're going to see right through this.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Joining us Eric Fattus high profile lawyer out of LA
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: but practices in multiple jurisdictions. Okay, Faddest, I guess you
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: want in on the apology video, Nancy.
• 28:56
  Speaker 7: There's something buried in there that the ultimato rings pretty
• 28:59
  Speaker 7: hall for most. But buried in there when he's talking
• 29:02
  Speaker 7: about hitting rock bottom, seeking professional help, going to rehab,
• 29:05
  Speaker 7: what he could be doing is setting himself up for
• 29:07
  Speaker 7: what's called a diminish mental capacity defense, essentially arguing that, hey,
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: I was so whacked out of my mind on whatever
• 29:14
  Speaker 7: that I wasn't able to form the mental state to
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: commit this crime, and therefore, ju or you got to
• 29:19
  Speaker 7: give me a break.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: At any point in that apology video, did you hear
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: him say one word about his mental state? You're just
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: making that up.
• 29:29
  Speaker 7: What I'm saying is that if he's talking about being
• 29:31
  Speaker 7: overly intoxicated on substances that can't be used in trial.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Rehab, did he Jackie, did he say overly intoxicated in
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: that video? Did he say one thing about drugs or alcohol?
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Did Sidney Sumner joining me Crimeonline dot Com and Crime
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Stories investigative reporter Sydney, We have watched that apology video,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: you and I fifty times. I don't hear anything about
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: I was.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: Drunk or I was high. I didn't hear anything like that, No, ma'am,
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: not at all.
• 30:02
  Speaker 14: Combs does not mention having some kind of diminished mental
• 30:07
  Speaker 14: capacity that caused him to attack his then girlfriend.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: His defense has come out and said.
• 30:13
  Speaker 15: You know, this is a year long relationship that had
• 30:17
  Speaker 15: plenty of issues, and this was simply an argument that
• 30:22
  Speaker 15: got a little bit out of control.
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: A little bit.
• 30:25
  Speaker 14: That doesn't feel like a little bit to me. Throwing
• 30:27
  Speaker 14: a base somebody that you love or claimed to love
• 30:32
  Speaker 14: does not feel like a little bit of an argument
• 30:34
  Speaker 14: that got out of hand.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: So no, he doesn't mention.
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: That he was drunk or high.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: Well got me, Sidney is the kidney punch? The kidney kick?
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: Did you see him kick or write the kidney?
• 30:45
  Speaker 14: It's ridiculous, Nancy. No amount of violence should ever be
• 30:49
  Speaker 14: tolerated in a relationship.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: Much less one like this.
• 30:52
  Speaker 14: You are a celebrity, you should be held to a
• 30:54
  Speaker 14: higher standard. And it seems like Combs only used his
• 30:58
  Speaker 14: wealth and power to cover up bad behavior.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: I'm going to address Eric Fattis's diminished capacity argument in
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: just a moment, but needless to say, Sean Combs runs
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: a billion dollar empire that he has built from scratch,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: according to prosecutors, by violence, threats, beatings, and it goes
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: on and on. That's how he amassed a billion dollar fortune,
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: according to prosecutors. But what he's saying in that apology video,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Lynn Shaw joining us from Lyn's Warriors, what do.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: You make of it?
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: I pray that he brings up that the Cassie incident.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: That's certainly putting perfume on.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: The pig, the beating, the aggravated assault with hands and
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: feet as the deadly weapon. I want them to say
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: that's consensual, so then the state can bring on that
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: apology video.
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: If he didn't do it, why is the apology land.
• 32:00
  Speaker 8: First of all, that wasn't an apology. That was save me,
• 32:04
  Speaker 8: Save me, invoking God and I'm at my lowest point.
• 32:10
  Speaker 8: First of all, we have to remember physical violence is
• 32:12
  Speaker 8: never accepted in any kind of relationship. Second of all,
• 32:15
  Speaker 8: I never heard him say at all, and that apology
• 32:18
  Speaker 8: as I put air quotes around that I am sorry, Cassie,
• 32:22
  Speaker 8: I'll do better. He never addressed her by name. I
• 32:25
  Speaker 8: don't even understand. That's a piece of garbage.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: Throw it out.
• 32:28
  Speaker 8: I maintain victim after victim had stories of abuse like.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: This, You know what, He's just going down.
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: That's all I can say. It's done.
• 32:36
  Speaker 8: Dirty Diddy is done.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: Crime stories with Nancy Grace.
• 32:51
  Speaker 11: Investigators taking a second look into the nineteen ninety nine
• 32:54
  Speaker 11: Club New York shooting based on allegations Combs bragged about
• 32:57
  Speaker 11: bribing witnesses and jurorsy trial, sharing that he pulled the triggers,
• 33:01
  Speaker 11: not Jamal Shine Barrow. Barrow served nine years in prison
• 33:04
  Speaker 11: for opening fire and injuring three while I was celebrating
• 33:07
  Speaker 11: a new record deal with Combs and his girlfriend Jennifer Lopez.
• 33:10
  Speaker 11: The lawsuit a ledges. Combs shared that Lopez carried the
• 33:13
  Speaker 11: gun and passed it to him during the altercation. Victim
• 33:16
  Speaker 11: Natanya Rubin, has also long insisted that Comb shot her,
• 33:20
  Speaker 11: not Barrow. Lopez was never charged in the shooting, and
• 33:23
  Speaker 11: Combs was acquitted of four counts criminal possession of a
• 33:26
  Speaker 11: weapon and bribery.
• 33:28
  Speaker 12: The same way you're sure that I have on a
• 33:30
  Speaker 12: green shirt, I'm certain that he shot me.
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: Now, was he aiming at me?
• 33:33
  Speaker 12: Was I the object of his fire? Absolutely not. I
• 33:37
  Speaker 12: should not have been, because I didn't do anything to him.
• 33:39
  Speaker 12: I watched them both fire their guns. I watched them
• 33:43
  Speaker 12: I got hit right here in my nose, in between
• 33:47
  Speaker 12: my eyes, which means I'm facing directly at you.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: That victim spaking, and that is from the art of dialogue. Now,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: rumors swirling that Jennifer Lopez will be called into court
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: on that case. HU showing a propensity for violence and
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: escaping justice. We're waiting to find out if that's going
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: to happen. But Fattus actually, although he completely fabricated it
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: from whole cloth, brought up a defense that we believe
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: will be used at trial, although it did not rear
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: its ugly head in the apology video listen.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: Diddy's defense may now be arguing he did not have
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: the mental capacity to commit the alleged crimes.
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: The lawyer's plan to put psychiatrist doctor.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: Ely Awen on the stand to explain that, due to
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: drug and alcohol use, Sean Combs did not have the
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: capacity to form the men's rea required to commit the
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: alleged offenses, in other words, a guilty mind. Prosecutors are
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: fighting to block the testimony, claiming the rap mogul needed
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: to file prior notice of his intent to argue a
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: mental disease or defect bearing on the issue of guilt.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Eric Fattus, this is going to be difficult. It is
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: for all lawyers, But I'd like a yes no answer.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Isn't it true that voluntary use of drugs or alcohol
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: is never a defense?
• 35:04
  Speaker 7: No, Nancy, I don't believe that's accurate. So voluntary intoxication
• 35:09
  Speaker 7: can potentially be a defense for he called specific intent
• 35:12
  Speaker 7: crimes crime Church three, in this case, transporting someone across
• 35:16
  Speaker 7: state lines with the intent, the specific intent that they
• 35:19
  Speaker 7: engage in prostitution. That is specific intent crime for which
• 35:23
  Speaker 7: voluntary intoxication could be applicable. The defense is going to
• 35:27
  Speaker 7: argue that he did not have a lucid awareness of
• 35:30
  Speaker 7: exactly what was going on and what he was.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: Doing fifty miles a minute.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Hold on, let's just break down what you just said
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: for real. Okay, you said that when Shawn comes was
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: making phone calls and texting all his contacts, you mean
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: the sex workers in other states that he was flying in,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: he was too drawn or high to know what he
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: was doing.
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: Is That's what that means what you just said.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: So what you're saying, you're going to argue that in
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: front of a jury diminished capacity when he's calling all
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: his friends, well employees, going, hey, could you get me
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: those prostitutes from New York that I really like and
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: fly them into la or fly them into Florida. You
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: think that that could be done while you're a higher drunk.
• 36:22
  Speaker 7: The law requires a loosent awareness and understanding of what
• 36:27
  Speaker 7: you're doing, the facts and circumstances surrounded your actions, and
• 36:30
  Speaker 7: defense can certainly argue to this jury that what he was.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: Doing when he was dialing his phone, Okay, hold on, argument,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: what about the rapes and the Shawncombe sitting back like
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: an Oscar winning director going could you move her left
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: leg over and put her right arm above her head
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: so we can get a better angle of the rape?
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: Are you suggesting that he was high or drunk and
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: didn't know what he was saying?
• 37:00
  Speaker 7: I think the prosecution can present a donal evidence that
• 37:02
  Speaker 7: he did know what was going on. But as to
• 37:05
  Speaker 7: the question of whether he can present this kind of
• 37:08
  Speaker 7: an argument to the jury, I think on some of
• 37:10
  Speaker 7: these charges, on some of these allegations, k.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: I hear something, it's a bell tolling? Okay, what about that?
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: What about of course fatus is totally ignoring a huge
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: and vast body of law that says voluntary use of
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: drugs or alcohol is not a defense. Okay, that said Lynnshaw,
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: jump in Land jump in.
• 37:33
  Speaker 8: I'm jumping out of my seat here trying to maintain
• 37:35
  Speaker 8: my control. I mean, I'm not a lawyer. I don't
• 37:37
  Speaker 8: play one on TV. We need the video evidence. What
• 37:40
  Speaker 8: are you talking about? This was a complicit operation. I
• 37:43
  Speaker 8: want to know about all the other people involved. Who
• 37:45
  Speaker 8: are actually carrying out his dirty ditty deeds. Who was phoning,
• 37:49
  Speaker 8: who was making the travel arrangements, the hotels, the car services,
• 37:52
  Speaker 8: who was securing the drugs, the loop everything we've talked
• 37:55
  Speaker 8: about for months about Dirty Diddy. This was a sex
• 37:58
  Speaker 8: trafficking operation across state lines. If they can stick with that,
• 38:02
  Speaker 8: we're going to have an outcome that is positive for
• 38:04
  Speaker 8: all sex trafficking survivors and victims. I maintain he is
• 38:08
  Speaker 8: going down. There is no defense here. Again, I'm not
• 38:10
  Speaker 8: a lawyer either, but you know what, video evidence. Too
• 38:13
  Speaker 8: many people talking about the same way they were treated, drugs,
• 38:17
  Speaker 8: all this stuff going on. Why though, I have to
• 38:19
  Speaker 8: leave you with this, Why was this allowed? Who are
• 38:21
  Speaker 8: the other complicit players? How did he get away with
• 38:24
  Speaker 8: this for so long. He is done, Dirty Diddy down.
• 38:28
  Speaker 8: And it begins today.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: With lines wrapped around the courthouse, barricades, law enforcement trying
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: to keep the public out, everyone trying to get into
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: the courtroom to see Sean Combs on day one of
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: his trial. This is jury selection straight to the courthouse,
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: standing by Lauren Colin.
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: Co host Primetime Crime on YouTube. Lauren, what about JERRR?
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: Number two?
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: That certainly certainly started off with a bang ooh.
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: Nancy, you're number two. This is really interesting.
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: Number two had a family member who had experienced domestic violence,
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: but actually said that this would not affect them being
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: fair and impartial. They also were asked about public figures
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: like Michael B. Jordan and Mike Myers, and they also
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: said their familiarity with these public figures would not affect
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: them being impartial.
• 39:19
  Speaker 5: The law deer started.
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: About an hour and a half after did he arrived,
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: which is.
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: Around nine am. So yeah, they're getting things done. Nancy
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: joining me.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Private investigator Robert Crispin, former Federal Task Force officer usdj
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: DEA and Miami Field Division now Crispin Investigations dot Com. Robert,
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: you also investigated a lot of vice cases. I just
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: don't think a jury is going to buy the swinger
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: aspect or the fact the example that Fatus gave I
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: was too drunk to know what I was doing, because
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: there are so many counts. I mean, you've heard it before.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: What how was dropped?
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: What happened? Yeah, that's not a defense obviously.
• 40:03
  Speaker 6: You know your lawyers will tell you that. You know.
• 40:06
  Speaker 6: In his video, if I can go back to that
• 40:08
  Speaker 6: for just one quick minute, he refers back to God
• 40:11
  Speaker 6: a lot. And I tell you, as an investigator investigating
• 40:14
  Speaker 6: a lot of people that were currently under investigation, not
• 40:17
  Speaker 6: in custody, yet you watch their behavior and if they're
• 40:21
  Speaker 6: a prime suspect, there is a pattern. And I think
• 40:23
  Speaker 6: the doctor will tell you, and other investigators will tell
• 40:26
  Speaker 6: you that guilty people or people believe to be guilty
• 40:30
  Speaker 6: always immediately turned to God. They start going to church
• 40:34
  Speaker 6: all the time, they start talking about God. That is,
• 40:37
  Speaker 6: to an investigator, one of the signs that your target
• 40:41
  Speaker 6: is probably guilty or pretty dark close to being guilty,
• 40:45
  Speaker 6: that God fearing bringing them into their interviews where there's
• 40:50
  Speaker 6: no pattern that we know of. Did he going to
• 40:53
  Speaker 6: church every Sunday? We're talking about God, but in this
• 40:56
  Speaker 6: video he refers to it and more than one occasion.
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: We wait as jury selection unfolds. It's expected to take
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: multiple days, very long days in the courtroom.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: Let's see how Shawn Combs holds up under jury's selection,
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: looking each juror in the face as they answer questions about.
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: Him Sean Combs.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: The trial set to start May twelve, but in actuality
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: it started today.
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: Nancy Grace signing off goodbye friend.
