The Trial of Diddy will be your only access to verbatim questioning and revelations going on in the trial.
Tune in next week everywhere where you get your podcasts.
Welcome to the Trial of Diddy podcast. I'm Marjorie Hernandez. And I'm Kayla Brantley. We'll be back in a second.
Another woman has now come forward, alleging Combs of sexual assault. Music mogul and rapper Sean Diddy. He claims she was drugged and sexually assaulted by Combs. Oh, this guy is dangerous.
This week, we have Kayla in court reporting outside and it's jury selection week in prep for the actual trial, which opening statements will begin on Monday.
So glad to be here for finally, finally the beginning of this trial.
I'm wondering if it's because of the rain or more people are planning to possibly go right at the start of trial for opening statements. I think there will be probably more of a crowd of public in general next week.
Well, typically it is boring if you're actually sitting waiting in the courtroom, waiting for your number to be called. However, we have reporter Dan Bates actually sitting inside and watching this all unfold. And some actually pretty interesting points came up from the actual potential jurors.
So they're given a questionnaire which says, how do you feel about if you hear anything about intimate partner abuse or rape? Do you know these celebrities on this potential witness list? And one of the potential jurors said that, oh, yeah, I actually recognize this name, Mike Myers, who is, as everybody knows, Wayne's World. He's a big actor. Austin Powers. Austin Powers.
So it was interesting. I'm trying to connect Mike Myers and Diddy. So it will be interesting to see who else is on this list. Right now, we do know that, again, Mike Myers and Michael B. Jordan, possibly also on this list, and Kid Cudi.
Right. Again, as Kayla mentioned, even though the celebrities names are out there doesn't necessarily mean they are connected with any of the charges. Also, they might not even be called. This is just a long list of people who might be called. So we'll see how that all shakes out right now. Potential jurors are given this list. And if they feel some sort of way about a witness on there.
They might say, look, I actually worked with this person before. That's why I can't be impartial. So it'll be interesting to see which potential jurors drop off because of that or which actually stay. That's the whole process this week.
And speaking of Albie, famously, you know, him and Kim Porter had dated before and also have a child together, Quincy. Interestingly enough, Terry Garagos, one of the defense attorneys for Diddy, mentioned in court that they expect there to be a discussion about Kim Porter and they might be frequently bringing her up.
During a debate about one potential juror who might be allowed to serve, prosecutor Maureen Comey actually disputed that claim and said that she doesn't think that they're going to bring up Kim Porter a lot. Again, it seems like a small world and being that Diddy just knew everybody and worked with everybody in the industry, there'll be a lot more celebs names coming up in this witness list.
We want to also explain how the UK and US courts differ. In the US, juries are preselected and require a unanimous verdict, whereas UK juries are actually randomly selected and can reach majority verdicts. Also, typically in the U.S. court system, federal cases, no cameras are allowed. So what you're seeing from there are just court artists rendition of what Diddy looks like.
And it's actually been interesting because the court sketches that we're getting right now, Diddy walked in with a, quote, preppy look, according to our reporter again, Dan Bates, who's inside courtrooms. And Diddy is wearing gray pants, navy crew neck sweater, and a crisp white shirt with no tie. And he's still rocking the gray beard and hair.
Another source of mine tell me that hair dye is actually in the commissary list. So he could have actually have his hair did before court. But again, he's still rocking the gray. So we'll see. Interestingly enough, as Kayla's out there standing in the rain. waiting for this jury selection to unfold. Not too far away is the Met Gala that's going to happen later on today.
So interestingly enough, when we're talking about Diddy and how he looks in court, normally he would actually be in prep mode for the Met Gala, which is actually happening tonight. Not seeing him there will be interesting. And Kayla, can you talk a little bit about why this year's Met Gala theme, Diddy would have probably excelled in his outfit?
Right. And we have to always note that he has pled not guilty to all the charges. And he's facing, again, very serious charges, kidnapping, sex trafficking for prostitution, involving at least two victims with male commercial sex workers and racketeering conspiracy. So again, he could actually face potential life sentence if he's convicted of all charges, which again, he has vehemently denied.
We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
