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.
