One hundred percent. The thing that's interesting is if you read the indictment, they specifically reference U.S. Code 1591 E2, which is the definition of coercion. And when you talk about coercion, it says two things. One coercion is you took the hell out of somebody and says, I'm making you do it. The other coercion is the much more subtle, the mental coercion.
But there is a possibility that both sides could be telling the truth. In a weird, unique situation that in Diddy's mind, I wasn't coercion anybody. This is how my relationships are. She enjoyed this rough relationship, if you will, and enjoyed the benefits of the relationship. She enjoyed the thing she was getting because maybe that's the way I was raised. That's the relationship I have.

And she never complained about it. That's what I thought. She could be saying, I never told him that. But in my mind, I knew if I didn't do these things, he would cut me off. I'd be out of the relationship. I'd be gone from the relationship. So in a weird way, they both could be telling the truth. The difference is Diddy's way is still against the law.

One hundred percent. I have a problem with it from both perspectives. As a former prosecutor, the reason you either want everybody wanting to use pseudonyms or nobody, because if I'm on a juror, I'm just like, well, wait a minute. Why do we have this person's real name and not these three? Focus on the witness when they take the stand, the psychology of nobody knows what I'm saying.

Nobody knows me. I'm much more free and relaxed to say everything I possibly want to say. When you've got that blank face in front of you and nobody knows who you are, you feel a little more free. A lot of times that's when we do, when we have minor victims, we're like, we don't want anyone to see your face so you're more comfortable testifying.

From the defense standpoint, I don't want you comfortable. You're on this stand accusing somebody of a crime that can have them spend the rest of their life in prison. I don't want you comfortable on the stand. I don't want you feeling that you can say whatever you want without repercussions. I want the opposite. So it's not necessarily from the jury standpoint.

It's from Diddy's standpoint and the cross-examination. You want that fidgeting. You want that uncomfortable. You want the person looking around. You don't want them comfortable because if they're comfortable, they testify more comfortable. They testify more believable. And the jury's like, oh, I believed her. I felt bad for her.

And two, going back the other way, when they're protected in their name and identity, it almost shows the jury that we're protecting that person, meaning we believe what they said before they ever got on the stand. Because why would you protect somebody's identity if you don't believe them?
