When it comes to cases of sexual assaults of a man against a woman, there are theories that, for example, and I'm not saying this is always true, but this is a theory out there, that boy moms may be the best type of prospective juror if you're the defense. Why is that? People within a group feel more comfortable criticizing other people within their group. So a woman criticizing a woman.

A man criticizing a man, a black man criticizing another black man, or a white woman criticizing another white woman. People feel less comfortable, at least to some degree, criticizing people outside of their group. But boy moms operate in a very unique space.

They could feel comfortable criticizing another woman, but they would still think about how a man might be in that situation because they're raising one. And so are we gonna see questions and answers and maneuvers by the defense where they try to go after a specific archetype of a person because they believe that's more beneficial to them? That's what I'm looking for.

Because sometimes, if not all the time, It's not necessarily the facts that you're arguing. Sometimes it's about the person who's willing to receive those facts and how they interpret it. That's it for this episode of Bad Rap, The Case Against Diddy. I'm Brian Buckmeyer. Thanks for listening.

It's getting close. The start of this trial against Sean Combs, aka Puff Daddy, aka P. Diddy, aka Diddy. Jury selection is right around the corner. May 5th. That will be a crucial time for both sides to select people who will ultimately decide Sean Combs' fate. Diddy has been unwavering in denying all of these allegations, and he's entered a plea of not guilty.

And as we get closer and closer to this trial, I thought it'd be smart to take a step back and look at some of the issues that are likely to be argued in this case. This is Bad Rap, the case against Diddy. I'm your host, Brian Buckmeyer, an ABC News legal contributor and practicing attorney. If you missed our first six episodes charting Diddy's rise and fall, please go back and listen to those.

As we wait for jury selection, I want to catch up on a few things I'll be watching in the lead up to the trial. Things that the government and the defense are arguing should be in bounds or should be out of bounds in terms of what the jury will or will not hear. I'm gonna talk to you about three issues that the judge, Judge Arun Subramanian, is deciding on or has decided on.

Anonymous witnesses, video of Diddy attacking Cassie at the Intercontinental Hotel in Los Angeles, and the admissibility of Cassie's memoir. First, witness anonymity. When it comes to witness anonymity, what you're talking about is two competing issues. Because Sean Combs, love him or hate him, believe him to be guilty or not, does have the constitutional right, as we all do, to face his accuser.

But the accuser also has some protections as well. And we've seen a lot of this in more recent cases, especially high-profile cases involving sexual assault and rape, where an individual or an alleged victim having their name or their likeness out there in the public can be very damaging to them, their health, their mental health, or their finances.

And so in these competing interests of the right to face your accuser and the privacy rights of an alleged victim, the judge will carve out some sort of compromise to afford both their rights as much as possible. It's probably best to understand that there are a number of alleged victims here.
