Yes, the judge can order that everybody else except for the parties involved, exit the courtroom and have that part of the proceedings closed.

Does that happen often? Yeah, it does happen, especially when it's requested by the victims. It's certainly something that is common, yes.

So the testimony would be public, just their names would not be.

Right, because some wanted, I think, send a message to the public and stand for what they were testifying about and wanted to be reached out because they have a story to tell and they wanted to tell it. But others wanted to remain under the radar. So it's a personal decision made by the accusers.

No, I don't think they're going to be sequestered like in the OJ case where they're taken to hotels and being given food and no access to television and so forth because back then, You could actually have a chance at sequestering a jury, meaning cutting them off from the media and so forth, so it won't influence their decision-making in the trial.

These days, with phones, tablets, and computer systems, which we all rely on, it's just unreasonable to expect a juror to not be able to know what's going on in the public. Because it's unreasonable, I don't think a judge would even bother with sequestering these days. And that's why we don't hear about it anymore.

Yeah, the judge will admonish them when every every break and when they go home, do not read, speak about, talk about. or watch any materials related to this case. If you've ever been on jury duty, you want to keep that honor as much as you can.

Yeah. Like I said, I don't think we're ever going to see something like that again.

Yeah. Like I said, I don't think we're ever going to see something like that again.

I think it's really not in Diddy's hands, even how he's looking to that extent, because it's not like he can go get his hair done in the cell there, right? So he has to play with the hand that he's dealt. I don't think he's intentionally looking for sympathy or anything like that. It's just the nature of having to defend a case from the inside. It's very challenging.

I'm sure he'll be wearing a suit and tie at the trial itself. He'll be well-groomed, shaven, and so forth. I'm sure it's very stressful leading up to the trial, obviously. Oh, I mean, yeah, just all sorts of thoughts are going through somebody's mind. The defense is going to be that this is all consensual. So it's going to come down to credibility. Who is believed? Who has motive?
