The Trial: USA
Clients Can Be Assholes

If I can get you something so much better without having to go to a trial and gambling, win or lose, if you lose, you're screwed. If you win, yeah, you go free. But what are the odds of that? So that's really what you have to ask yourself. And I always ask this to clients when they approach us and when they want to hire us. What do you want to see happen? Are you looking to get an acquittal?

Are you looking to say, all right, look, I didn't do this. I'm going to fight this tooth and nail. Or do you come in and say, listen, I may or may not have done this, but you got to get me the best possible resolution and do whatever you think. So I don't know if Diddy would listen to the advice of counsel. And I don't know if a win to him is going to necessarily be a win to the attorneys.

And I also don't know if a win for Diddy is realistic either, what he's looking for to what actually can happen.

When you say under no circumstances, it's not like, you know, I really don't see me being able to represent, you know, Sean Diddy Combs in an adequate faction anymore. But when you say unequivocally, under no circumstances, there's something there.

So number one, I wouldn't be surprised if there is some type of plea negotiations going on. That would be the first thing. I would also anticipate that for the government, they're getting all their witnesses on board. They're getting everybody lined up. They're doing all their due diligence.

They're going over discovery, making sure that everything has been provided to Diddy and his counsel that should be required. They're anticipating any motions or any, I'd say, surprises that they think the defense may have. They may do a mock trial if they have the resources, which I anticipate they do. So they're getting their ducks in a row.

For Diddy and his attorneys, they're doing the same thing for the most part. So the attorneys are meeting with Diddy, I'm sure, quite a bit. They're getting their game plan together. You know, 40 days out, it might seem like a long time, but it really isn't, especially when you're having to anticipate doing different motions and answering different motions.

You're going to have witnesses that at the very last second become unavailable or at the alternative become available. So you really have to make sure you have everything covered as best you can. And in a jury trial, there's always going to be surprises. You just got to try to anticipate as best you can.

So Marjorie, it's a good question. I have no idea what Diddy's thinking right now, if he's thinking a plea deal or not. But if I'm his attorneys, I'm definitely trying to at least get the best plea deal possible to present to Diddy. Because look, At the end of the day, it's going to be Diddy's decision. The attorneys, they're going to go home at the end of the night. Diddy, 50-50.
