And just all sorts of thoughts are going through somebody's mind. What the jurors are going to think, what the judge is going to do. It doesn't get more stressful than this, especially because it's federal, not state. So there's a lot of time on the line here for him.

Meaning the prosecution may want to call her and we'll see if she wants to have any kind of involvement for that matter in this case. But certainly she's not going to be testifying on Diddy's behalf. That we know.

Yes. So Diddy and Kanye speaking, it won't have any effect whatsoever. In the trial itself, only acts or evidence that took place during the incidents will come into play. But it does show you, moreover, how Hollywood is really not behind Diddy on this one, because if Kanye is the one that he's sort of resorting to speak with, it shows you much that he's pretty much on his own at this point.

And all he's got is Kanye in his corner.

Yeah, so the idea is, again, we haven't seen the actual evidence in the case. We did see that video regarding Cassie, and that is so offensive and disturbing. The greatest of lawyers... I don't know how one can get around that. I guess the only argument will be that he's on trial for sex trafficking and racketeering, not for domestic violence. But this is not evidence

of sexual abuse and so forth. So that's the main piece of evidence that we know is out there. It's going to be tough to get around, but that's the only way to address that. Overall, Diddy said this is going to be about consent. We can expect a large part of the argument by the defense will be, where were these three accusers 10 years ago or five years ago?

Why are they all coming out of the woodwork now? These were not children. These are adults. So that's where it gets a little gray. And Diddy's going to say it was all consensual. They're going to have to say otherwise.

And unless there are percipient witnesses to those incidents to say, yeah, I was there, I can tell you that this person was not consenting, this person was, and so forth, it's going to come down to a real he said, she said case. And we don't know how those alleged victims are going to come across on the stand under cross-examination. But we can expect that Diddy's counsel

We'll be putting up some serious, ferocious, and fearsome cross-examination because that's the only hope of trying to get Diddy out of this situation.

Yes, uncharged victims or witnesses can be brought in. At the same time, a judge is going to perform a balancing test. Because if too many are brought in, then it could be deemed more prejudicial and probative and basically not allow the jury to focus on these three victims. They're just going to get lost in the overall evidence that's being presented.
