The Trial: USA
Diddy’s Life Is On The Line

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.
