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.
