As we all know by now, the start date for Diddy's trial is set for three months today. We record this May 5th.

As we all know by now, the start date for Diddy's trial is set for three months today. We record this May 5th.

So we'll see in three months if we're there. But, you know, someone who's always loudly cast out on the date being realistic is our guest this week. New Jersey criminal defense attorney and longtime friend of the show, David Gelman.

Yes, David, can you talk a little bit about that? From our understanding, there's two additional female victims included in the superseding indictment. And I was just wondering, obviously, from a legal standpoint, what that means for Diddy. Will he have to reappear in court on these new allegations?

Yes, David, can you talk a little bit about that? From our understanding, there's two additional female victims included in the superseding indictment. And I was just wondering, obviously, from a legal standpoint, what that means for Diddy. Will he have to reappear in court on these new allegations?

So, Marjorie, yeah, he'll probably have to be rearranged again. It doesn't stop the clock, per se. So it doesn't mean like, all right, well, now they're going to have to reset everything and that they're going to have more motions and the trial date will be pushed back, although it will be pushed back. So don't go with that one. And this superseding indictment, it doesn't really have any teeth.

So don't go with that one. And this superseding indictment, it doesn't really have any teeth.

It just has other individuals. There's no more charges that they're charging him with. It's just more allegations. And it's very interesting because normally when you do have a superseding indictment, there's additional charges. Here, it's just two more individuals coming forward that they have that they are going to potentially testify. But just like the other ones, we don't know who they are.

They just say Jane Doe. So we don't know who they are, where this happened, what the actual specificity of the allegations. So it's just more firepower, if you will, for the U.S. Attorney's Office against Diddy.

You know, Kayla, that's a great question. I don't know. Either they are witnesses who can't really provide much. That would be my inclination. Again, when you're a prosecutor and a U.S. attorney, you load everything up. You throw the kitchen sink against the defendant and you do it for one reason, one reason only. You want them to try to plead to something.

You want them to try to plead to something.

Now, you don't know what it's going to be that they're going to plead to, but you want them to plead something. And by having all these charges against them, that is just it makes it more difficult for them to potentially fight. And that just gives the prosecutor another advantage in the fight. So that's where they'll typically be able to get a plea.

So that's where they'll typically be able to get a plea.

You know, Diddy is not the typical defendant, though, as we've discussed multiple times. So I don't know if this is really going to move the needle that much.

You know, Diddy is not the typical defendant, though, as we've discussed multiple times. So I don't know if this is really going to move the needle that much.

You know, they're civil. So the burden of proof is much lower than it would be in a criminal court. That's number one. I don't know the credibility of these individuals. I know one was a male. He was a stripper, I want to say. And the allegation is that Diddy made him perform all these sexual acts that was outside of the scope of what he originally contracted to do.
