Diddy’s defence: ‘He’s a swinger’, plus jury selection begins for trial

And that was one moment we've all been waiting for to see whether the jury will be played this video. There was another sort of headline grabbing moment where Mark Agnifilo got up and made some comments about Diddy's sexual habits, practices, proclivities.

And Mark Agniflo got up and said, there's a lifestyle, call it swingers or whatever you will. He thought it was appropriate because it was common. Sean, swinging is being offered as a defense to the sex trafficking charges. Is that really a robust argument against the charges, which alleged he forced people into sexual activity?

Diddy’s defence: ‘He’s a swinger’, plus jury selection begins for trial

But Shane, we've heard testimony and through your reporting as well. You've spoken to alleged victims who say Diddy took some drugs and came out of the bathroom and he was a different person or I didn't recognize the man that was in front of me. Sean, could that play into this line of defense then if we've got people taking the stand saying, actually, yeah, I didn't recognize him.

Another part of what the judge decided was, OK, you can say that Diddy was a swinger or he considered himself to be a swinger, but you cannot cite examples of other prominent swingers to sort of bolster the idea that this was common. Surely then, Sean, you're turning to the jury and you're saying it's common. Trust me. Just just trust me on that.
