Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: George, I'm a homegirl that knows a little bit about
- 0:04Speaker 1: everything and everybody.
- 0:06Speaker 2: You know, if you don't lie about that, right.
- 0:10Speaker 1: What happened in court, I think a lot of us
- 0:12Speaker 1: were not surprised about at all. So he was found
- 0:15Speaker 1: not guilty of the racketeering charge. He was found not
- 0:18Speaker 1: guilty of the trafficking. What he was found guilty of
- 0:21Speaker 1: was the prostitutions, of which the after yesterday, right, and
- 0:27Speaker 1: mind y'all, you're talking about that racketeering charge, right, he
- 0:30Speaker 1: would he would have been in jail for the rest
- 0:33Speaker 1: of his life if he had been convicted of that. Now, yesterday,
- 0:37Speaker 1: when they were trying to figure out how they were
- 0:39Speaker 1: going to instruct the jury, and Diddy's team was arguing
- 0:42Speaker 1: heavily right, They're like, look, we just need to give
- 0:45Speaker 1: this joy more time.
- 0:45Speaker 2: We don't want them to be pressured.
- 0:47Speaker 1: We don't we don't want to be involved too much, Like,
- 0:48Speaker 1: we just want to give them more time. The reason
- 0:52Speaker 1: why Diddy's team was so against the Allen charge, and
- 0:55Speaker 1: the Allen charge is basically something where a judge is
- 0:57Speaker 1: able to say to the jury like, look, if we
- 1:01Speaker 1: have to retry this again, there's gonna be no jury
- 1:03Speaker 1: that is smarter than you. Basically like, we're gonna have
- 1:06Speaker 1: to do this all again and they gonna get the
- 1:07Speaker 1: same evidence, so we need.
- 1:08Speaker 2: Y'all to figure this out.
- 1:09Speaker 1: Diddy's team was so adam yesterday that they did not
- 1:12Speaker 1: y'all's getting crazy outside of court because everybody's coming out.
- 1:14Speaker 2: Diddy's team was.
- 1:15Speaker 1: Adamant yesterday that they did not want that to happen
- 1:17Speaker 1: because I think yesterday they knew we have a really
- 1:20Speaker 1: good shot if they've come to this decision as quickly
- 1:23Speaker 1: as they had based on everything they's seen, and the
- 1:26Speaker 1: one issue that they're having is the rico charge that
- 1:29Speaker 1: Diddy's team has been arguing all along was the main
- 1:31Speaker 1: thing the government did not prove well.
- 1:34Speaker 2: I think they had that feeling.
- 1:35Speaker 1: But still, he was nervous as hell yesterday today when
- 1:39Speaker 1: when they decided and they announced what, he was a
- 1:41Speaker 1: quit it on. When I tell y'all, he was so thankful.
- 1:44Speaker 1: He's looking at the jury in their face, He's thinking them.
- 1:47Speaker 1: It's like you can't hear him, but he's audibly thinking them.
- 1:50Speaker 1: He's pray in your hands. He's everything. Now they're arguing
- 1:53Speaker 1: about whether Diddy is gonna walk out.
- 1:55Speaker 2: Of the courtroom two day. They're waiting right now.
- 1:58Speaker 1: The judge sat by one of c He wants both
- 2:00Speaker 1: sides to submit letters.
- 2:03Speaker 2: Now here's what his attorneys are asking. Right.
- 2:06Speaker 1: So his attorney, Mark Agnifilio stands up and he's like, listen,
- 2:09Speaker 1: he's only charged with the prostitution, right And because he's
- 2:12Speaker 1: only been charged with the prostitution, I'm not saying that
- 2:15Speaker 1: this isn't serious, right, like transportation to engage in prostitution.
- 2:19Speaker 1: I'm not saying that this is not serious on a
- 2:21Speaker 1: federal level, and that federal charges aren't serious. But what
- 2:23Speaker 1: I'm saying is that this is far less than what
- 2:27Speaker 1: he was actually accused of all together. Right, he should
- 2:32Speaker 1: be able to go home. If you look back in
- 2:35Speaker 1: the juror if you look back in the audience right now,
- 2:37Speaker 1: his family is here.
- 2:39Speaker 2: There's so much of his family members here.
- 2:40Speaker 1: Any one of them, any two of them, any five
- 2:42Speaker 1: of them right now could put up a bond for
- 2:46Speaker 1: his release for.
- 2:46Speaker 2: Him to be able to go home. Right now.
- 2:48Speaker 1: Mark Agnifilio said, look, we already took possession of his passport.
- 2:51Speaker 1: We have physical possession of his passport right now. We
- 2:54Speaker 1: found out last night just in preparation for if this happened. Right,
- 2:58Speaker 1: we found out last night that his jet, his plane
- 3:01Speaker 1: that he owns, right it's in Maui, it's been chartered.
- 3:04Speaker 1: He does not have access to his plane. They ask,
- 3:07Speaker 1: can he go and stay and at his house in Miami,
- 3:11Speaker 1: in Star Island.
- 3:14Speaker 2: And just be under.
- 3:14Speaker 1: Different conditions, basically like we will watch him, the court
- 3:18Speaker 1: can watch him, the court can tell us what to do.
- 3:20Speaker 2: But he should be able to go home right now.
- 3:22Speaker 1: And not only do they put the pressure on, he
- 3:24Speaker 1: should be able to go home right now. His attorneys
- 3:26Speaker 1: also said, and we need to decide it today while
- 3:29Speaker 1: his family and everyone who has taken their time to
- 3:31Speaker 1: be here are in court today right now. They ask
- 3:35Speaker 1: for the bond to be a million dollars. And again
- 3:38Speaker 1: and again they y'all, it's getting crazy out here, so
- 3:41Speaker 1: many people outside. I'm gonn show you guys outside. They
- 3:45Speaker 1: asked for they asked for him to be done today,
- 3:47Speaker 1: because they kept reiterating, anybody here right now on his
- 3:52Speaker 1: on in his family can put up that bond. This
- 3:56Speaker 1: needs to be done today. So the judge said, listen,
- 3:59Speaker 1: let me see what the.
- 4:00Speaker 2: Government has to say.
- 4:01Speaker 1: And based on what the government has to say we
- 4:03Speaker 1: can kind of go from there, like, let me see
- 4:04Speaker 1: how they're feeling. So the government they stand up.
- 4:06Speaker 2: And are pissed.
- 4:07Speaker 1: They're like, no, he should not go home because, number one,
- 4:11Speaker 1: we've heard about instances where he's committed crimes and been
- 4:15Speaker 1: violent to people involved in this case, even after he
- 4:18Speaker 1: was under very public scrutiny. Right, so he's like, for instance,
- 4:22Speaker 1: with Jane. Jane testified that they got into this physical altercation, right,
- 4:28Speaker 1: that happened once everything had been announced, once his house
- 4:32Speaker 1: had been raided, the houses had been rated. He has
- 4:36Speaker 1: no they literally said, he has no regard for the government.
- 4:40Speaker 1: He does what he wants to do. We've heard about
- 4:43Speaker 1: all of the drugs. They even talked about the day
- 4:45Speaker 1: of his actual arrest in New York. The government said, listen,
- 4:47Speaker 1: did y'all forget that the day he was arrested in
- 4:49Speaker 1: New York, he had tons of drugs in his hotel room.
- 4:52Speaker 1: He had all of the supply set up in his
- 4:54Speaker 1: hotel room to do this exact act, the exact act
- 4:58Speaker 1: that he was actually found guilty of. He was waiting
- 5:02Speaker 1: to do it the day he was arrested. No, he
- 5:04Speaker 1: should not go home. It makes no sense that the
- 5:07Speaker 1: court should uphold this. He is a danger to people.
- 5:10Speaker 1: He is a danger basically to himself. He is not
- 5:13Speaker 1: going to be able to adbide by whatever rules, whatever regulations.
- 5:17Speaker 2: We said. It makes no sense.
- 5:21Speaker 1: So his attorneys didn't stand back up it. Well, no,
- 5:23Speaker 1: First the judge it's like, well, okay, look, I want
- 5:26Speaker 1: you guys to put all this stuff in a letter.
- 5:28Speaker 1: We'll take a look at the letters by one o'clock
- 5:30Speaker 1: and then we'll come back and we'll have a conversation
- 5:32Speaker 1: about it. Because the judge just say, I do think
- 5:34Speaker 1: that this is only fair and it's something.
- 5:36Speaker 2: That I will do.
- 5:37Speaker 1: Will decide on this today while everyone is here, but
- 5:40Speaker 1: I want to give you guys some time because you know,
- 5:42Speaker 1: to be fair, the government wasn't fully prepared to argue
- 5:46Speaker 1: back against it. They did the best that they could
- 5:48Speaker 1: and they made their points.
- 5:49Speaker 2: They did. They talked a lot about what we've been
- 5:50Speaker 2: talking about from the beginning. Did he's disregard for the
- 5:56Speaker 2: laws in general?
- 5:57Speaker 1: Like you know, there was allegations that he was contact
- 6:00Speaker 1: witnesses at one point again.
- 6:02Speaker 2: He was arrested.
- 6:03Speaker 1: There were freak off supplauses, supplies in his hotel room,
- 6:06Speaker 1: which we saw in evidence, and then the government kept
- 6:10Speaker 1: pointing back to that all of the things that happened,
- 6:12Speaker 1: even after he was under this major public scrutiny because
- 6:16Speaker 1: the federal indictment had dropped, we saw evidence of him
- 6:20Speaker 1: latantly disregarding the law in the courts.
- 6:23Speaker 2: It doesn't make any sense.
- 6:24Speaker 1: So at one o'clock there should be these letters submitted
- 6:26Speaker 1: by both the prosecution and by these attorneys stating their
- 6:29Speaker 1: sides on him receiving a bond. Today the judge is
- 6:33Speaker 1: a very like, he's young, and he's very like. To
- 6:36Speaker 1: the point the judge says, so, wait, Mark Agnifilio, are
- 6:39Speaker 1: you saying to me that you want mister Cone to
- 6:43Speaker 1: be able to walk out of this.
- 6:44Speaker 2: Courthouse right now?
- 6:46Speaker 1: Because and he wasn't even saying that as far as like,
- 6:49Speaker 1: are you crazy? Because this man gonna do what they
- 6:50Speaker 1: want to do. He was saying it like, can you
- 6:53Speaker 1: understand the logistics in the main hand that that would
- 6:55Speaker 1: cause y'all yesterday, me and armand Wiggins, we were out here,
- 6:59Speaker 1: we recorded it. I didn't even give chance to put
- 7:00Speaker 1: up my content from yesterday because it was just so
- 7:02Speaker 1: much what I'm gonna make sure we run through all
- 7:03Speaker 1: of content.
- 7:05Speaker 2: Thank you. We were out here recording.
- 7:07Speaker 1: And I said, yesterday, based on how that those you know,
- 7:11Speaker 1: the four counts and the decision on the four counts
- 7:14Speaker 1: and the confusion or the split decision on the rico
- 7:17Speaker 1: came down, I was like, it's possible that he'd be
- 7:21Speaker 1: able to walk because if they only get him on
- 7:23Speaker 1: the lesser things, it's like, what are you holding him
- 7:26Speaker 1: for it?
- 7:26Speaker 2: He'll come back for sentencing.
- 7:28Speaker 1: Mark Agnifilio made a point that made a lot of sense.
- 7:31Speaker 2: Once all this close, he said, I have one more thing.
- 7:33Speaker 1: You gotta think about it like this, this man was
- 7:36Speaker 1: about to lose his life talking about Diddy.
- 7:38Speaker 2: Mind y'all the whole time.
- 7:40Speaker 1: When I tell y'all the whole time, diddys and they're like,
- 7:42Speaker 1: thank you to the judge.
- 7:44Speaker 2: He's praying.
- 7:45Speaker 1: You see his sons like Christian, I saw Christian kiss
- 7:47Speaker 1: his girlfriend.
- 7:49Speaker 2: They're doing stuff like this. Like everybody's feeling like.
- 7:51Speaker 1: Man, we'll take that's all y'all giving us will take
- 7:54Speaker 1: it because it could have been way worse. Mark Agnifilio,
- 7:57Speaker 1: Diddy's lead attorney, is like, he could have lost his
- 8:00Speaker 1: life to this court. The Duris gave him another chance
- 8:04Speaker 1: at life.
- 8:05Speaker 2: He would be a fool.
- 8:07Speaker 1: He would be a blatant fool, and he is not
- 8:09Speaker 1: that to disregard that. So he put that on the
- 8:12Speaker 1: court record. And now they submit these letters. I think
- 8:15Speaker 1: if his team can put a strong enough letter to
- 8:17Speaker 1: get letter to gay letter together today, I would not
- 8:21Speaker 1: be surprised if he is released now. How they're going
- 8:24Speaker 1: to figure out logistics, which was a big part of
- 8:26Speaker 1: the judges concern because as you can imagine, it's going
- 8:30Speaker 1: to be Mayhem out here.
- 8:31Speaker 2: He's going to be crazy.
- 8:33Speaker 1: If he is released today.
- 8:36Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised if.
- 8:37Speaker 1: He is though, or down the list. I know the
- 8:40Speaker 1: government is like, man, we wasted our time and our resources.
- 8:44Speaker 1: So here's how it went down. So yesterday when we
- 8:46Speaker 1: left court, the Jeordie said, look, we are here together.
- 8:51Speaker 1: We've decided on four counts. There is one count that
- 8:55Speaker 1: we cannot come together on because we have people strongly
- 8:58Speaker 1: on both sides.
- 8:59Speaker 2: That was the RICO when that happened yesterday.
- 9:03Speaker 1: Right, So in court yesterday Diddy was like when I
- 9:07Speaker 1: say he was stuck, he was very emotional yesterday. J
- 9:10Speaker 1: just stuck Eteni Garrigos, who who's been one of his
- 9:13Speaker 1: lead attorneys as well. She was in court crying today
