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

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.

Because it's not like they're going to be able to put in, and I'm not going to say any celebrities' names, but people saying, this is what we all do. We all do it. This would be him having to testify. I find it strange that the judge says you cannot just simply say other people do it and give specific names.

But I would be remiss if those specific name people were not allowed to testify if they're on the witness list. You understand? So if a celebrity showed up and said, I was at a party with Diddy, this is what I did. This is me. I think that would be allowed. But Diddy's team is not going to be able to just randomly point to celebrities names.

they could send you a subpoena. You would go through a whole thing. You would have your lawyer try to quash a subpoena. There's a lot of stuff that you go through, but the things we always say is when we're sending subpoena out, you don't want to witness who doesn't want to be there from a defense standpoint. You understand?

So if you try to force somebody to get on the stand, you never know what they're going to say. So I'm sure they tried to voluntarily get people and they said, heck no, because here's the problem. You put me on the stand. I'm going to hurt you more than you're going to help me. Don't you dare try to force me to get on the stand in the middle of your trial.

Not uncommon in the slightest. It does. I mean, it happens on almost every trial that I have. If somebody rejects a plea offer for a couple of reasons. One, don't forget. Diddy's not doing the talking. His lawyers are doing the talking. And a lot of times what happens when someone gets convicted, you don't want them later to say, I didn't know there was a deal on the table.

My lawyers never told me. This is completely unfair. So this is the judge making sure that... You knew that there was a plea offer, Mr. Combs. You rejected the plea offer. And he asked him the questions. Have you been told the plea offer? Yes. Have you been told what the terms are? Yes. Has anyone forced you or threatened you in any way to take or not take it? No.

You on your own have made the decision that you do not want this deal. Yes. And you understand this deal will never, ever be back on the table. Yes. That protects the government also in case he tries to appeal later and say, nobody told me everything. So this is incredibly common, happens in every trial.
