What was in your reporting? Yeah, we obtained some court documents from both sides and essentially prior bad acts, that is actually a legal term that refers to evidence of past actions that's not actually directly related to the current charges that defendant has committed.
So, again, in this case, the prosecution wants to introduce evidence, which is here more than likely other witnesses who can testify about their own experiences of abuse or sexual assault with Diddy, which prosecutors say will show his character or what they say propensity. to commit the crimes that he has been charged with.
So now these witnesses are, in addition to the four named victims who are in Diddy's criminal complaint, including Cassie, as we mentioned. Normally, prior bad acts evidence are not actually admissible, but there are exceptions, especially in cases like this, in sexual assault trials, where the evidence may be allowed to prove motive or intent.
And that's what essentially both sides are arguing right now. Didi's attorneys don't want those witnesses to come forward and take the stand. And prosecutors saying, look, we need these new witnesses to come forward and to talk about a pattern of behavior that Didi has had.
Right. It'll be interesting to see whether or not they'll have another hearing just to argue in front of the judge about this. They both sides, the prosecution and the defense team have laid out their arguments. It would be up to the judge whether he actually just goes ahead again, makes the order or it will be argued in court in another hearing.
So what is interesting here is defense attorneys are saying, look, if the judge will allow all of these other prior bad act witnesses, this could lead to many trials. They would argue, you know, they shouldn't be allowed to testify because it would be too prejudicial. So this could who knows how long it'll take in terms of actually getting the trial started.
That could mean that it could push back the trial. I don't know. Now, the defense attorneys also argued, look, we can argue this for another trial even before we pick the jury. So right now, we're not quite sure where it will land. So anxiously waiting to see what the judge says.
Yeah. And what, going back to now the argument over whether or not to bring forth the prior bad act witnesses, you know, this really boils down to victim testimony. It's Diddy's word against all of these alleged victims. And that's why it's so important to see whether or not there'll even be more people who could take the stand and what kind of other evidence that they have to show that
his quote-unquote propensity to commit these crimes so we shall see how that shakes out and whether the judge will actually allow it there's so much more coming up but for now let's pause for a break
Welcome back to The Trial of Diddy. And now as we record this on Wednesday, it's 33 days until the trial itself begins, but only 26 days until May 5th when jury selection starts. So we are getting very, very close to this incredible case beginning properly. And as we get closer, some big names are beginning to come out and speak publicly.
Last Friday, Iron Man and Empire actor Terrence Howard became the first major star to speak up, alleging Diddy made a sexual advance towards him during what he described as a, quote, bizarre encounter. While appearing on the PBD podcast, 56-year-old Howard told a story about Diddy saying, quote, invited me for weeks, asking me to be his acting coach for a while.
However, when they met, Howard alleged that Diddy simply sat there staring at him to the point where it began to make him feel uncomfortable.
Yeah, truly, really. I was a bit shocked about the story. But as you mentioned, most people have turned their backs on Diddy. So now I think more and more people are going to feel more comfortable to come out there with their own experiences with him. And of course we are all still waiting on who the prosecutors were actually called to the stand. We don't even know who was on that witness list.
Could be some celebrities there. We don't know yet.
Yes, I'm planning to be there as well. Don't know for the duration of the trial, but definitely the trial will be out there.
Kayla, you've covered other cases before that's high profile. Can you tell us just how chaotic it can get?
Great. And I'm hoping to join you as well.
So for now, that's it. And as we prepare for Diddy's own trial in May, what other trials would you like us to cover? Let us know by email, thetrialatdailymail.com, or you can WhatsApp us on plus44-7796-657512. Start your message with trial.
At the height of his career, Sean Diddy Combs had it all. It seemed like everything Diddy touched turned to gold. Now the once untouchable hip-hop mogul is fighting for his life as he faces multiple federal charges in New York, including sex trafficking and allegedly running a criminal enterprise.
Oh, this guy is dangerous. Another woman has now come forward alleging Combs of sexual assault. She claims she was drugged and sexually assaulted by Combs. I'm DailyMail.com journalist Marjorie Hernandez. And over the last six months, I've been investigating this incredible story and speaking to the people in the eye of the storm. Welcome to The Trial of Diddy.
