Is he going to go home or is he going to stay in prison? I think they have to do it. I don't know if he's ordered them to negotiate that or not, but I think it would be bad luring if they didn't at least try to negotiate to get something. Now, what would it look like? I can't answer that for the simple reason that it seems like the government on its face, they're really going after Diddy.
And, you know, he is, you know, persona non grata, if you will. But behind closed doors, are they softening their stance a little bit? I could potentially see that because you're going to have a ton of witnesses as for the jury. And number one, if you put these witnesses up, they're going to be subject to cross-examination and they could definitely get screwed up in that cross-examination.
Because as a defense attorney, that is your job to go after their credibility. But it may be beneficial to the government to offer some type of a decent plea deal where they could avoid having their witnesses go forward with it because, look, You just don't know how it's going to go in a trial. What would something realistic look like? Another good question.
I mean, it could be 10 to 15 years, maybe. I don't know. Diddy, though, he is eligible for certain programs, number one, that the federal system does provide. There is an early pathway exemption that he can take. He does not have any criminal record, so his score for sentencing purposes would go lower as well, especially being a first-time offender.
So, you know, and also when it comes to these types of pleas, the judge in the case does not have to sentence the person to whatever they want to, to what the government or defense agree to. They could deviate from that. So defense could actually ask for something lower than the agreement. So that's something that potentially could happen.
But, you know, I still think it's probably a little too early to tell on that one.
I'd be like, you need to get your head examined. I really... don't like having clients testify unless, and this is just a cautionary tale, unless you are losing bad and you're throwing up a Hail Mary. That's the only way I would have somebody testify or recommend they testify. But if not, I would try to do everything in my power to talk them out of it.
Because having the defendant testify, most of the time it doesn't go well. All right. That is when the prosecution eat the defendant up alive. And, you know, defendants, they think they know it all. I don't want to say it's an ego thing, but they probably think, you know, nobody can tell my story like I can. That may be true.
But there's also nobody who can destroy your story as well like the government can. So I would try to talk Diddy out of testifying if possible. But at the end of the day, it's his decision. Something else I would do, and if he is going to testify, I can almost certainly guarantee they'll do this.
They will have some type of a legal paper stating that they said that it would be their preference and their opinion, legal opinion, If Diddy did not testify and I would force Diddy to sign that because God forbid, you know, there's some type of appeal for ineffective assistance of counsel. And that's one of the reasons that Diddy testified. I would bring it.
I would have that, you know, right at my disposal.
It is. But look, who knows how the trial goes, all right, if it gets to a trial. You never know. It could go one way, or you think it's going to go one way, and it can go completely the opposite way. So these are game-time decisions. But unless you are losing badly and you know it, it really isn't worth the risk to have Diddy testify. I'm not going to be in that room, so I don't know.
So number one, they're probably going to want minorities. I would anticipate that because I assume one of their themes is going to be that they're going after an African-American wealthy male. So I think they're going to try to get as many black people on the jury as they can.
I also think they're going to try to get women on the jury because women are more sympathetic when it comes to these types of cases than men. I know it doesn't sound like that.
You would think that, but studies have shown that women being on the jury are more sympathetic. And also, women judge women. harsher than a man judges a woman. Look, again, this is all science, not me.
So there's ways that you want to pick a jury. And those are two of the characteristics that Diddy's team is going to be looking for.
Yeah, 100%. They're going to ask, do you know who he is? Do you know what songs he's been in? Do you know what type of music he sings? And that kind of stuff. So 1,000%. And that's probably going to limit a lot of the jury as well when they do that. Because if I'm the prosecutor, I'm not going to want them being on the jury, especially if they like Diddy's music.
It's pretty difficult to practice and file lawsuits in a court that you're not allowed to do, isn't it? That's a big no-no. If you get caught doing something like that,
Not only can your bar license, your legal license, be suspended or taken away in different states that you practice in, but you also could be technically looking at charges being placed against you as well for fraudulently practicing law, even though you are a licensed attorney.
I, I, I'm very, very, uh, skeptical about this and it doesn't make his clients look good at all by him doing that because the court, you know, made the, made, uh, Busby aware multiple times. Again, I don't know what's going on in his head in there. I met the guy, but you can't do that. That's, that's lawyer 101.
