Two workers from HBO, even though, as we know, there was a huge bombshell documentary about Diddy on HBO. How normal was this jury pool? It really I was expecting this process to not be as interesting as it was.

The judge seemed a little desperate to get jurors because in some cases, if the potential jurors have heard about the case, they are immediately dismissed. But in this case, most jurors knew who Diddy was and even said they have seen reports and the video of him assaulting Cassie. So a lot of the jurors who said they are aware of the case, they have seen the video, are still in the pool.

Definitely. And I wanted to ask Renato about it because I was under the impression that defendants had to really keep to themselves, not smile to the jury, not be laughing at their jokes, not making eye contact. But Diddy has been described by the people in the courtroom as super engaged, nodding along to the jurors that he likes, laughing at their jokes.

There was a moment where Diddy shared a joke with his lawyers after a female juror said that she once fainted in school when a teacher talked about oral sex. She was dismissed because she said she doesn't do well oral. with the topic. Diddy was having a great time with it. He turned around, kept laughing with one of his reporters who was wearing a free puff sweatshirt.

We had an interesting moment where a reporter from Fox 5 said that Diddy turned around and she's pregnant and that he mouthed to her, how are you? So he's putting on the charm. Tell us about that. At what point is that not allowed anymore?

The show of his life, for sure. But... What do you think we're going to end up in this jury with? We've had, again, such a diverse potential jury pool that I've seen. We even had someone I thought it was interesting. The prosecution seemed to be concerned with whether this potential juror spoke English and Diddy's team was really fighting to keep them. I thought that was quite interesting.

What do you think will end up here? And do you think... Because as you mentioned, I thought a lot of people would want to do anything to get on this jury. But I also saw a lot of people clearly wanting to get out. There was a lawyer who should have known he's not allowed to be looking at the news after court. And he said, yeah, I looked on the train.

And the judge was like, well, we told you not to do that. And then he's like, well, I looked. I looked at who you dismissed. So that seemed a bit on purpose. But what do you think is going to happen with this pool of jurors?
