You were, you know, as far as I know, the people, I know there are civil suits, but the people testifying in this trial are adults and they were adults when these things happened. So I want really exacting thinkers, people that see the world as black and white and who are going to hold them to that standard.
Yeah, I saw that. And it's always difficult for a defense attorney to have to cross examine a victim of sexual assault. You know, you don't want to bully that person. You don't want to bully any witness. So I think they have to go very gently with her. And I think the pregnancy, the timing of it is, I guess, for the defense, from their perspective, unfortunate.
And the last thing the defense wants to do, I think, is really make her cry on the witness stand or look like they're really bullying her.
But to your point, if they're going to say that she's this tough person and that she was physically abusive or did things to Diddy, and I think that's going to provide some of the context from the defense perspective of what was going on in that video in the hotel. Now, you know, does it excuse it? Of course not. Does it explain it? Well, maybe.
And so they're going to have to get into all of that. But it does change the calculus and it does change the tone you take with her being as visibly pregnant as she is. In terms of victim number three, it is very unusual. for a key government witness to go MIA on the eve of trial. I can't even begin to speculate on what is going on there.
What is even stranger is the reports we're getting that the prosecution team is having difficulty getting in touch with victim three's lawyer. That is also extremely unusual. I cannot imagine what is going on. But look, I don't think it sinks the government's case.
They have several other victims that they're going to put on, including one who is not one of the actual allegations in the indictment. So they have plenty of evidence and evidence. I don't know that not having victim three there makes such a difference. And look, this happens all the time in trials.
The prosecution often reevaluates their case in the middle of trial and witnesses that they thought they were going to call, they just don't call them. They're under no obligation to call any particular witness. They just have to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt.
Yeah, next week's going to be very interesting. They're going to do the strikes early Monday morning and then go right into the openings and we'll see our first witness.
Thanks for having me. Appreciate it.
Yeah. So look, I've had, obviously I have no involvement in this case, but typically in a ultra high profile trial like this, I expect that maybe they've already done some jury testing. In other words, they've done some focus groups, they've done some survey work to try and figure out the profile of who's going to make a good juror, but really more importantly, who's going to make a bad juror.
because it's not jury selection, it's jury deselection. You can't pick anyone in jury selection, you can only get rid of. And you get rid of people in two ways. Cause challenges, people that have a bias, people who say they can't be fair, they get struck for cause, you have an unlimited number of those. But then you also have what's called peremptory challenges.
which means you can strike people just because you don't like the way they look or you don't like the way they answered a question, even if they say they can be fair and impartial. Now, there are limits to that. You can't strike people based on race. You can't strike people based on gender. Of course, you can't do things like that. But if you just don't like the way somebody's dressed,
You can strike them for that reason. That's a valid reason. So I think, I predict that the trial team has done some research to figure out and go in with a game plan so they know really who they're striking. Don't fall in love with any jurors because you have no control.
Yeah, I mean, that's a super tough question. Usually we let the research dictate what that is. But just based on my experience, I think in a case like this, my understanding is the defense is going to be consent, right? So they're not going to say, the defense isn't going to say, and Diddy isn't going to say, that these things didn't happen, that these freak-offs didn't happen.
But the defense is going to be these were consenting adults. Everybody knew what they were getting into. And so... I'm going to want jurors who are going to be analytical. I want jurors who are going to hold people personally responsible, hold adults personally responsible for things that they do and see the world as black and white.
So I want people who are going to be like architects or engineers or maybe people in finance, people who are very black and white thinkers. who are going to not agree that people can be, you know, manipulated or psychologically influenced are going to say, no, look, you went there, you knew what was going on.
You walked into a hotel room, presumably, and there were lights and there were cameras and there was whatever was on the table. And what did you think was happening? And people who are going to say at that point, you could have turned around if you didn't want to be there, walk out the door. So those are the people I want, the people who I don't want.
Are the people who are going to be more empathetic, more understanding of psychological control and how that works and how people can kind of walk into a situation and not really be sure they want to be there or not be there, but then there's psychological pressure put on them. Now, I know some of the allegations are the people were drugged also. So, you know, that might be a different story.
But I think the black and white thinkers are going to say, well, you know, you took the drugs. If they weren't, if it wasn't snuck into a drink, I mean, we'll see what the evidence is. But that's how I think I would go about this. But again, you're guided by what the research tells you.
