He's obviously a very charismatic person. He has been a celebrity for a very long time. He knows how to ingratiate himself with people. I don't know that it's necessarily a put on. I think that's just how he is. And he's just maybe being himself. Look, he's not obviously supposed to be talking to jurors or engaging with them, but he definitely wants to build rapport.

He wants them to see him as another human being who is in a tough situation. And I think it's fine to make eye contact or to smile to jurors. You can't do it too much. But remember, you also don't want to be laughing too much. And this is something that I tell clients. When you are in that courtroom, and the jury walks in, it's like the curtain goes up on stage. All eyes are on you.

So you have to take it very seriously. And it's OK if something funny happens in court. He's human. We're all human. But I wouldn't want to see him when something not funny is going on in court for him to be joking around with his lawyers. And that, I think, would really do him a disservice if the jurors detect that he's not taking this seriously in any way.

But if you have those light moments, I think that's fine. And I think, look, he should rely on the charisma that has served him well for many, many years.

I think the biggest factor is really the 10 weeks, that that's the thing that people are saying, I would like to be on this jury. I think it would be interesting to be on this jury, but for two weeks, not for 10 weeks. So I think that's why you're seeing a lot of people trying to get out of it.

You know, one thing that was interesting, I saw you had some footage of Mark Agnifola walking into court this morning, and he had that huge white binder. Right. I assume, based on my experience, that in that huge white binder,

is a ton of information on all of these jurors that was probably his jury binder and so what the defense has been doing and probably the prosecution too has been researching these jurors finding out everything they can and over the weekend they're even going to continue to do that and it also gives them an opportunity to sit down with Diddy because listen it's ultimately his life

I think the ideal juror for Diddy is somebody who is going to hold the prosecution witnesses to a very high and exacting standard. who is going to be looking for discrepancies in their stories, who is going to be saying, if you didn't want to go along with these things, why did you attend these events? Why did you continue to attend these events? Why didn't you walk out the door?

I know some of the testimony is going to be that think people were drugged or things were put in their drinks. But I think also some of it will be voluntary drug use, voluntary alcohol use. And I'm looking for jurors who are going to look at these alleged victims and they're going to say, look. I'm not buying that you were coerced into this.
