Er verurteilt alle Verurteilungen. Diese Woche will Diddys Team das Cassie-Video verkaufen. Kanye, oder Ye, zeigt seinen Unterstützer. Und der JZ-Busby-Fall nimmt einen verwirrenden Schritt.

Hi Sean. Hey guys, how are y'all doing? So, Friday the 14th of March we had the arraignment with Didi in court being officially charged with the latest superseding indictment. In der ersten Superceda, erinnere dich, hatten wir zwei neue Verbrecher. Und dann in der zweiten hatten wir die Erweiterung seines RICO-Vorschlags, das z.B.

Verbrechen der Arbeit, Verbrechen seiner Mitarbeiter und das Verbrechen eines Mitarbeiter, sich mit ihm in Sex-Action zu engagieren. Cheyenne, wir haben von unserem New York BBC-Korrespondent Neda gehört, dass Diddy grün aussah, aber er hatte ein bisschen Gewicht und er war in hohen Spirits. Was hast du von seinem Ausdruck?

168.109 - 192.059 Craig Boardman

Absolut. Eine der Dinge, die wir vor jedem Trial machen, ist, und das machen wir einfach, es ist fast eine lokale Regel, du willst nicht, dass der Jurist weiß, dass dein Klient verurteilt worden ist, also parieren wir die Person nicht draußen in ihrem roten Schuh. Wir bekommen Haare, wir bekommen Schuhe. I feel comfortable that Diddy will have a haircut, will be very black haired, shall we say.
