Diddy’s defence: ‘He’s a swinger’, plus jury selection begins for trial

The government respectfully submits this memorandum of law in support of its motion to preclude the opinion testimony of Dr. Ellie Owen. The notice testimony relates to the defendant's diminished capacity to form the mens rea required to commit the charged offenses. So they're going to try to bring in an expert that says Diddy could not form the necessary mens rea

the criminal intent to know what he was doing was committing a crime. And my assumption is it is their attempt to say basically, yes, I did it. But, and even if it's a crime, I didn't know it was a crime and I couldn't have formed the necessary mens rea to be convicted of it being a crime. That was a very convoluted answer, but I hope that makes sense. But it's,

Yes and no. There is something under the law called voluntary intoxication. You cannot voluntarily take drugs yourself and then say, I'm crazy and do crazy stuff if you voluntarily induced a drug. And so that's why I don't think they have offered anything of a true insanity defense.

They're trying to do some type of public policy that if all of your friends jumped off of a bridge, would you jump off of a bridge? I literally think that that is the defense that they're going with, that since everybody thinks swinging is acceptable, Then Diddy thought it was acceptable, might even get into the fact Diddy's childhood thought that this was acceptable.

So he could not form the necessary mens rea to form a criminal state of mind necessary for a conviction because you need a criminal state of mind unless the government argues willful blindness. He knew what he was doing. He was just turning his eye to it.

Yeah, you're exactly right. And what people don't, I mean, and maybe people didn't see it, this defense and the judges. Rulings are triggering one 100% true fact. Diddy will testify. You understand? Because there's no other way to get this testimony out without him taking the stand and saying, this is a lifestyle that I have grown accustomed to, that I believe in.
