Fame Under Fire
Diddy’s lawyers speak out about sex tapes

When we define cases, when we do case initiative, what we always say is a witness's credibility takes the stand with them. So this person's credibility is going to take the stand. And so the biggest question I think that's going to happen is the following.

If Mr. Combs is this most disgusting, abhorrent human being, if he is the monster that you and the government has said that he is, why did you stay with him?

They would, and I prosecuted it, and what ends up happening is You have to be careful when you are preparing a witness. There's not a lot of evidence. There's videos and so forth, but the evidence is going to come from the stand from the person's mouth. And so when you are preparing a witness to testify, especially of the government, it is the hardest thing to do. Why?

Because you're not allowed what's called lead. You're not allowed to suggest the answer. So really what you're doing is you're trying to get a witness simply to tell their story. So you would say witness one. Realistically, you say, what happened? And then you say, what happened next? That's how we're taught as prosecutors, as a former prosecutor, to get a witness to tell the story.

And so what you want to do is you want to balance something. You can prepare this witness too much because if she comes across too much, if she comes across rehearsed, if she comes across polished, then she comes across as unbelievable.

And if you prepare somebody entirely too much, and I've made this mistake as a young prosecutor, when you want to meet with a witness over and over and over again, and what ends up happening is you meet them with them five or six times and they keep crying. They keep crying because they're emotional about this event.

Well, by the 10th and 11th time, they become desensitized to it and it's not emotional to them and they can't cry anymore. And so, yeah, they're preparing her, but they can't over-prepare her because they don't want her to seem too polished. And she's got what we call is warts. She has warts in this case because she has problems that they can't get past.

You can only prepare somebody so much for the fact that, ma'am, according to this, you are with this monster and presumably you are also a criminal. Because if what the government is alleging is true, if Mr. Combs has engaged in this abhorrent behavior and you were by his side, who did you call? What law enforcement did you contact? What person did you warn? So she's got two options.
