The Crime Scene: Diddy on Trial

To make sure that that criminal enterprise still works. That's why when you read the racketeering charge and you see or hear all these little allegations underneath it, it's not that he's being charged with all those little allegations. It's that he did these crimes to make the enterprise work. That's the allegation behind it.

So now, again, you're hearing the feds almost are pretty much corroborate an allegation from Cassie's civil lawsuit that was settled. You now know that Cassie must be a part of this federal indictment, even though the name wasn't released when the indictment happened. And now, at least for me, we travel into a different territory because there are people who sexually assault people.

There are people who rape people. There are people who have criminal enterprises that feed into that. If you wanna think of the allegations or now the conviction against Harvey Weinstein or R. Kelly. But there's a very unique type of person who blows up cars in order to keep the rape going. To me, it ratcheted up another level.

Yeah, that's within the indictment. The sex trafficking, that's, I think, pretty self-explanatory. Because it's a federal crime, it's an allegation that the person compelled an individual to participate in sexual acts through force, so like blowing up someone's car, fraud, or coercion. You have to stay a bad boy or keep doing this.

Yeah. So the very definition of a RICO is where two or more people conspire. You can't have a RICO by yourself. And that has had some pushback as well as to why is Sean Combs the only defendant? There has to be, by definition of a RICO, someone else who participated in it. The person who...

traveled to go get the sex workers at the airport and brought them to the freak-offs, the person who set up the bed and the room knowing that the freak-offs was going to happen, the person who cleaned up afterwards to hide the allegations that a freak-off was happening, the person who supplied the drugs. All of this is, in essence, a criminal enterprise, so there has to be more people.

And I agree with people when they criticize us and say, well, why aren't there more defendants? And I said, well, the more accurate thing to say is, Why are there not more charged defendants?

So what happens next is jury selection. It's the process by which both the defense and the government or prosecutor have the opportunity to question prospective jurors about whether or not they're right for this case. And I know oftentimes with cases like this, people say, well, how can you find a juror? Like everyone's heard about Diddy. Everyone's heard about this case.
