Iran might be the key to Sean "Diddy" Combs' defense in his sex trafficking trial. Sources say his legal team may use the growing conflict in the Middle East to cast doubt on the federal case against the disgraced rap mogul. The defense may invoke the recent unrest during their closing arguments.
Additionally, sources allege that Diddy's attorneys believe prosecutors have not met the burden of proof required for conviction. They may even choose to rest their case without calling any witnesses after the prosecution concludes, as both sides prepare for closing arguments scheduled for Thursday.
Iran recently launched missiles at U.S. bases in the Middle East in retaliation for an earlier U.S. strike under former President Trump. It remains to be seen how the prosecution will respond if the defense uses this geopolitical context as part of its strategy

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
The Diddy defense to keep Hitler loving Kanye away from
the Diddy jury. This as Diddy doubles down on the
gamble of a lifetime betting against the state and calling
out a single defense witness to defend him in front
of that jury. The new Diddy defense. Wait for it,
(00:30):
Blame Iran. Yes, that's the Diddy defense. Blame Iran. They're
the real threat and stay out of Didty's bedroom. Okay,
I'm Nancy Grece. This is Crime Stories. I want to
thank you for being with us. Objection ew More freak
(00:51):
takes diddyperve did.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
He is loving every second of it.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Joining us live at the courthouse.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Tisa Tells and investigation and star off Tasa Tales on YouTube.
She's been in the courtroom from the get go, along
with our Sydney Sumner Crime Stories investigative reporter taysa, what
a day.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
In the courtroom? Is it true?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Sean Holmes has decided in his wisdom not to call
a single defense witness.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Not only has he decided not to call a single
defense witness, he is now saying that his day of
defense will be him literally reading well his attorneys reading
text messages half heartedly.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
This has been the ultimate bait and switch. They promised us.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Four weeks, shows and polonies, probably goats running around the courtroom,
anything to distract, and in less than a couple of weeks,
interestingly enough, at the.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Jurorsic got kicked off.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Now they don't even want to call anybody to the stand,
not one accountant, not one employee.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Not one anything very interesting.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Timing straight out to Eric Fattis joining US veteran try
old lawyer, TV illegal analyst founding partner Varner Fattest, Elite Legal,
former felonmy prosecutor Fattest. That is a big gamble now,
I said on day one, I think you fought with
me about this that the defense always claims, Oh, we're
going to have four weeks a testimony, it's going to
(02:18):
be grueling.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Then suddenly it's two weeks.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Now it's two days, and in the last hours it's nothing.
They're putting up nothing. That is a very big gamble.
It's a gamble of a lifetime for.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
Shawn Comes, It's a bullet moove for sir. I mean,
I think a lot of people are expecting kind of
a counter narrative from the defense in this case, it
sounds like we're pretty much not going to hear that.
What it looks like is the defense is contenting that, hey,
the prosecution has the burden here. It's their job to
put on the evidence. They have failed woefully according to
(02:52):
the defense, and the defense really doesn't need to do
anything more that they've established what they need to through
cross examination, through high lighting some of these text messages
that they show that they says show consent, and so
they're going to kind of give it over to the
jury in about a day or so.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Eric fattis, of course, there's going to be a huge, long,
extremely painful and boring charge conference. The charge conference occurs
just before closing arguments, and in a charge conference, both sides,
the state and the defense, submit jury charges to the judge.
What are jury charges? Those are the instructions where the
(03:31):
judge literally reads the law verbatim to the jury, the
law by which they are to judge this case.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
They'll get a charge on sex trafficking.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
They'll get a charge on coercion, They'll get a charge
on everything that Sean Comes is charged with. They'll get
a charge on reasonable doubt, presumption of innocence. Every permutation
of the law that can apply to this case.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
On credibility, the burden is on the state.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
They'll also get a charge fattest on the defendant's right
to remain silent, and.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
They're going to be told if the defendant.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Doesn't testify, you cannot hold that against him. Okay, we
all know that's coming. But the reality, Fattest, The reality
is when the defense stands up and says, your honor,
the defense rests in front of the jury, They're going
to be going like, what, he's not going to take
the stand.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
He's got nothing to say. You know they're thinking that fattest.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Without question, that's got to be going on in these
jurism minds. Look, they're going to get this instruction that says, hey,
did he has a constitutional right not testify? If he
elects to exercise that right, the jury cannot hold that
against him. Jurors are human beings, though you don't think about.
If a parent has two kids and there's cookies missing
from the cookie jar, you want to hear from both kids.
(04:54):
You want to hear both sides. You want to hear
sorts of reasons and any sort of corroborative of evidence.
That supports either side. But in a court room, it's
just a different scenario. And Diddy is not going to testify.
It would be perless for him to do that. And
so will these jurors be able to follow that instruction
and not somehow will hold that against it. He's saying, Hey,
(05:15):
I want to hear from that guy. I want to
hear his story.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yeah, and you know what they're going to think in
their heads. If he's telling the truth, why doesn't he
take the stand?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
What does he have to fear? Now?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Of course, the state cannot argue that to the jury.
That would be reversible error. Any comment or allusion to
him invoking his right to remain.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Silent is reversible error. If the state.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Doesn't, now, the defense will be able to argue. Now, remember, jury,
you absolutely cannot hold it against him that he didn't testify.
He has no burden and he didn't need to testify.
You know why, because the state didn't prove their case.
That is what they're going to be argue. Put money
on it. Go ahead and make book.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Tisa Tales joining me outside the courthouse. You can find
her at Tasa tails on YouTube. Tisa of course, the
defendant doesn't have to testify, and the jury's going to
hear that injury instructions. But what about all these other people?
What about Christina Korum? Why didn't she come through for
the defense? If Koram has nothing to hide, why didn't
(06:19):
she come on for showing comes? Why didn't Jana She
wouldn't come in for the state. So where are all
of these other witnesses that have been part of this scenario?
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Where are they? Exactly? See, here's the thing.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Did he still act like he's controlling everything and he
can snap his fingers and make us deny reality?
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Yes, we all know form watching Mattlocke and everything else
that he does not have to testify. But to your point,
where is everyone else?
Speaker 4 (06:48):
When you look at as a real life human woman,
it looks weird and it's going to look whird to
the jury that there is not one employee, not one investigator,
not one freak off worker, one entertainer, not anyone for
walking next to is going to come on the stand,
and not one uncharged co conspirator KK that is going
(07:08):
to come on the stand and say, hey, let me
tell you what it is. And you've got to look
at it through the jury's point of view, because we're
getting the same view that the jury is.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
They were promised in the opening argument.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
That they were going to prove they had a tentative
end date, so they're thinking somewhere between July fourth July eighteenth.
They are waiting for Diddy to put on his defense.
Now imagine this, though. You just see your coworker get dismissed.
They don't know why, they just said we no longer
need you, and they see a shuffling, and then all
of a sudden, Diddy's team comes out and stands up
(07:43):
and says.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
And we rest our case.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
It looks odd, it looks weird, and I think, and
most people in the courtroom think it's not going to
play the way all these legal analysis think it is.
We are real life humans, and you gotta think, where
is your defense?
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Keep quiet, but where is your defense?
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Just bring us one sex worker, the punisher, the planar,
whatever you want to call them.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Bring us one sex worker that.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Can say it was consensual and they enjoyed it.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
They cannot.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
I think it's a big mistake, and a lot of
people in the courtroom think so too.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
An Tasa Tailles, what about friends, friends of Cassie Ventura,
friends of Mia not her real name, friends of Jane
not her real name, to say, oh, this is total bs.
She never complained about.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
The free costs. In fact, she never even mentioned them.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
You know why they're not bringing them because they don't exist.
But if the jury gets back there and thinks this
through the way we're thinking it through, they'll think, well,
wait a minute, don't any of the alleged victims have
friends that the victims confide in.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Why didn't they come on? I don't get it.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Say they're going to go back there, I think, and
they're going to reason through the fact that the defense
did not bring one single person on. Let me go
back to Eric Fattus joining me veteran trial lawyer. While
the state cannot comment on the defendant's right to remain silent,
(09:15):
if the defense has alluded to other witnesses, okay, if
they've said, well, none of her friends state that she
was harmed, or she was coerced, or she was drugged.
If the defense said that at any point in the trial,
or something akin to that, the state can comment on
(09:38):
the defense's failure to produce those witnesses. They can't say
it about the defendant not taking the stand, but they
can comment on any witness the defense has alluded to
that the defense did not bring in front of the jury.
That might happen fattest fancy shockingly.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
I think we agree on that. I think generally speaking,
there can't be burden shifting, so they got to be
careful about that. But the defense has the same subpoena
power that the prosecution has. So the defense, like you said,
could have subpoenaed bad entertainment folks who if they had
these witnesses would get up there and say, hey, I
wasn't aware of any freak offs. I didn't pay for this,
(10:18):
The business didn't pay for this. That they could have
gotten attendees of these hotel parties who said, hey, everything
appeared consensual to me, and no one was saying no,
we're not hearing from any of those witnesses. And I
think it's probably fair game for the prosecution to say, hey,
defense told you about witness X, Y and Z, who
was going to come up here? Where are those folks?
Speaker 6 (10:39):
You know?
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Doctor Bethany Marshall joining us are now psycho analyst out
of the LA jurisdiction, author of deal Breaker. You can
find her on peacock and online at doctor Bethany Marshall
dot com. I know, I get it that the jury
is going to be told and it's going to be
hammered in in the defense closing argument that Shawn did
(11:00):
not have to take the stand and there was no
need for him to take the stand because the state
failed improving its case. That's going to be the argument.
But you want to tell me, Bethany, you know people
better than anybody.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
They're not going to talk about why.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Didn't he take the stand, And then somebody in the
jury deliberation room is going to go, you can't talk
about that, you can't think.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
About it, and the other one will say, yeah, okay, you're.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Right, let's not talk about the fact that he didn't
take the stand.
Speaker 7 (11:26):
He didn't take the stand. Not only that, Nancy, in
a way he has taken the stand, not personally he
invoked his right to remain silent, but that those jurors
have heard p Diddy's voice, they have heard your my
crack pipe, they have heard where are you? They have
seen the text, they have heard the text written out loud.
(11:47):
So unless he comes in with a better kinder gentler voice.
That is what they were left with. You know, there
was one interaction that just came out where he called
Cowboys for Angel and they said, you know, you owe
us another six hundred dollars and he said, well, the
guy didn't even perform. And then she said, well, they're
(12:07):
not there to perform the worker for a Cowboys for Angels.
They're there too. You're paying for their time, not their erection,
basically is what she was saying. And then he steps
in and says, okay, be nice. I found that interaction
very interesting because it told me how quickly he becomes
aggressive with people when he doesn't get his way. She
(12:30):
was being perfectly nice. She was just explaining that he
was paying for the sex workers time, but he began
to turn on her. I think that's the kind of
voice that's going to be in the jurors head. Resoundingly.
Who talks like that? Nobody really Well, P Diddy, well.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
You're right, you're right speaking of that. Take a listen
to this. The court.
Speaker 8 (12:49):
Here's texts were Shawn Combs haggles with Bridget from Cowboys
for Angels over escore prices. Bridget informs Combs that he
still has an outstanding six hundred dollars balance, to which
Combs replies, Lol, he couldn't even perform. Bridget reminds Colmbs
he's paying for the man's time, and Colmb's retorts that
she should talk nice to him since he's a longtime customer.
(13:10):
In another exchange, Colmbs tells Bridget to stop raising my
rate because he is a long timer. Bridget says it
isn't up to her, but the escort, adding that the
best guys have high rates.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Excuse me, but did I just hear Sean Combs aka
Itty Bitty Diddy whining that the sex worker couldn't perform?
Correct me if I'm wrong, But Tisa tells, I got
to circle back to doctor Bethany's allegation and she's right
that we in a way hear Shawn Combe's voice through
(13:43):
all of his ridiculous texts. This one included what is
wrong with rich people?
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Here?
Speaker 1 (13:48):
He is committing a crime.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
He is ordering up a sex worker like he's ordering
a pepperoni pizza from Papa John's. Okay, he's ordering up
a sex worker.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
And he's one about how much they're charging him for
a maal sex worker and.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Cash this He even has an unpaid balance.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
What is wrong with rich people?
Speaker 2 (14:12):
He's a billionaire and he can't pay his six hundred
dollars ballance to a sex worker, which, hello.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Is illegal.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
And here we've got him on text haggling with the
woman about the thief for the sex worker and the irony.
The insult to the irony is he accuses the sex
worker of not being able to perform.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I wonder if it has anything to do with him.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Dragging Cassie Ventira out in the middle of the freak
off and beating her and then sending her back in
to perform correctly. But woa whoaoa whoa eddy beady Diddy,
the one sitting over there, button naked, wearing a burka
over his face, talking on the phone and trying to masturbate.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
He says the sex worker can't be for him perform.
Did I just hear that?
Speaker 3 (14:58):
You just heard that? And that was one of the
most shocking things we heard in court.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
When you talk about these billionaires, I literally said, I thought,
being part of a billionars that praved.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Harm had some perps.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
He started the conversation off by accusing them of raising rates.
She literally had the screenship a picture of the rates
to let her know I'm trying to be even and
even after that, he then tried to short six hundred.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
We heard about these sex workers being flown on Spirit Airlines.
Are you insane? Spirit Airlines paying for their own ubers?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
This man was beyond che Ponder up, Tasa Towels.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Why are you acting like Spirit Airlines is because I mean,
I've flown on Spirit Airlines before. They tried to charge
me for a cup, not a bottle, a cup of water.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
I swear I wonder if.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
I had to pay to go to the bathroom, and
I decided I would just hold it. I can't remember
if you had to pay to go to the bathroom.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
So TSA.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
You mentioned seemingly outraged that he flew these sex workers
on Spirit Airlines, But the irony, the other irony, is
that he has a sixty million dollar private jet that
he is renting out for tens of thousands.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Of dollars per flight, and the.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Guests have no idea they need one of these before
they sit down on Diddie's jet, Because you know, there's
no way he can resist being a member of the.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Mile High Club.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
That's not going to happen, and he's bringing in I
think since he was arrested over four million dollars revenue
from renting out. Oh there you go his private jet.
So what were you saying about flying everyone on spirit?
Speaker 4 (16:45):
The fact that he flew them on spirit the most
low budget. They were in charge of their own taxis
and charge of their own ubers. They literally were paying
money out.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Of their pockets for the presence of being with them.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
And get this, he actually had a running tab that
they would have to He's after him afterwards, begging for
reimbursement of any type even services. Again, it was shocking
that a billionaire, But when it comes down to it,
there is something about a cosmic justice that his own
cheapness of not handling this directly is the reason why
(17:17):
the Feds had this little breadth from trail of who
did what, because the receipts and the reimbursements again did
he was notoriously cheap.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
With its time, with its love. And now it seems like.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
It is all coming down but a lot of shocking things.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
We are alive at the Monahan Federal Courthouse as we
are learning Israel Shawkhin's not taking the stand and ringing
not a single.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Witness and his defense.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
But I think there's one person that's willing to testify
for Shawn Comms.
Speaker 9 (17:51):
Recent reports indicate that Christian Colmbs is working on new
music with rapper Kanye West, but for Shawn Combe's sake,
hopefully the projects are not for Ye's upcoming album Cook.
The rapper released the album's featured single, Hail Hitler, which
includes a long sample of a Hitler speech, just for
every music platform to immediately take it down. Several other
(18:14):
tracks are in the works for Cook, including gas Chambers,
World War III, and Hitler.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Yee and Jesus.
Speaker 9 (18:22):
While Ye is set to perform at a music festival
in Slovakia and July, protesters have started a petition to
prevent the performance.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Tasa Tales joining me at the Monahan Federal Courthouse. That's
one person that would be willing to testify for Shan
comes Kanye, and he's got time. He's not going to
sang his Hitler song Until July.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Kanye was to testify, but like what everything else did,
he said, it didn't come to fruition. And let me
tell you, they actually put him on the witness list.
They actually even put him on the family list that
come sit in court. Again, this underlies the fact that
the defense did not know that they were not going
to put any witnesses on till the last minute.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
And Nancy, I hear you. You might be able to
explain away the whole fit amendment. But the one thing
I think that the normal.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
Person would say when you are being faced with sex
trafficking and going to jail for the rest of your life,
the fact that you cannot bring one person either Kanye's
crazy salt. You cannot bring one friend to Cassie. You
cannot even bring one sex worker. How powerful to have
the sex worker that was in the room when Cassie
(19:30):
was dragged back to get on the stand and say hey, look,
It only sends one message to the jury. You can't
mount a defense because there is nobody that is willing
to stand up against penalty of perjury and speak one.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Good word about you. Again, I get what.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
The legal eagles are saying, and Nancy have a good point,
but I am certain this is not going to play well.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
To the jury.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
And like you said, the jury is going to be
shocked when they sit there. Not even Kanye, who.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Said he was ready and willing.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
To testify and do what he could to protect Diddy
is willing to get the defense even thinks.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
That's a bad idea. Again, they are running.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Scared crime stories with Nancy Grace.
Speaker 10 (20:22):
Within an hour of West's Super Bowl ad airing on TV.
The only item available in his shop is a twenty
dollars short sleeved white T shirt with a swastika on it.
The shirt is named HHO one. Many believe the letters
stand for Hyle Hitler. Critics and fans alike are absolutely
horrified shopify. The site's host suspends Yeezy's account within twenty
(20:46):
four hours. The site now reading this shop is not available.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
That's just what you don't want as a Hitler loving
wackadoodle like Kanye. Maybe'll even bring his naked wife Biancasen Sorrianan.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Here's his idea of a good idea. Tisa tales.
Speaker 8 (21:04):
I spent like all the money put a commercial.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
On these new teeth once again. I had to shoot
it on the iPhone.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Go to easy dot com.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
So Tisa tales. Uh oh. By the way, that's from
the official Yeasy page.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Kanye is still threatening to come into the courtroom like
a stink bomb. And sit behind Sean Combs during closing arguments,
or at some point he was all angry he couldn't
be put into the regular courtroom and had to sit
an overflow a few days ago. But I imagine he's going
to make up for all that with a grand entrance.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Any sign of Kanye there.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Is zero sign, zero security. Listen, with friends like Kanye,
you don't need enemies.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
And he's welcome to come because.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
Unlike unlike weeks before, did He's side is empty. Mama
Comes hasn't even shown up yet, so there is plenty
of space.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Again. I'm not much for conspiracies, but.
Speaker 11 (22:05):
You have to wonder it is comany even on Didny's side,
And if this is the best and the brightest that
you can get to stand there and help rebuild your
integrity to the jury, Yeah, I see why Diddy is
not even having one witness testify if this is the
only person he can get Tasa Tales.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
In the last hours, more photographic exhibits by the state
have been entered before the jury. Let's take a look
at them, and you can tell us exactly the significance
of the photos.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Tasa Tales. Here we have Sean combs.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
At the beach. What did that have to do with anything?
Why did the state introduce that.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Because this was supposed to be Hilm at Turps, I
believe where he kept tricking Jane to come.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
She begged you to love me, come out.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Companies are the women. He said, you know what, baby,
don't worry. I'm going to make a special trip for
the two of us. We're going to your dream location.
I'm taking you to Turks and it's just going to
be the two of us and we're going to reconnect.
And our little bunny bunny Rabbis said, you don't meet it.
He said, baby, yes, I do. Just get on that plane.
She was so excited that were text messages says finally
(23:13):
just me and you.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
It was supposed to be a romantic knight.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
What is the significance of this because they also showed
the text messages that in the background, he was coordinating
with their favorite little sex worker to actually show up,
unbeknownst to Jane and Ambusher. Once you had taken all
those narcotics and was loosey goosey, and that is how
he by fraud got her to do a freak golf
(23:38):
and they're showing in the days that yes you were
at Turks, Yes you transported those prostitution prostitutes, not over
state lines, but even over international And this is another
thing of how.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
They have Diddy.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
It seems like dead to rights, so dead to rights again,
keep beating a dead horse, but so dead to writs
that not one person will come and sit on that
stand to defend his.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Antics speaking of that ill fated trip to Turks. And
I'm trying to remember if this is the one Linn
Shaw joining me, founder executive director Lyn's Warriors, committed to
ending sex trafficking and sex.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Exploitation of women and girls.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Do you remember the beach trip where two of the
alleged victims paddle board into a storm rather than come
back to the shore because they could see Sean comes pacing.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Back and forth on the shore like a tiger.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Right, And now we see those photos Linshaw of him
chillaxon on the beach. But we know what happened after that.
The women were so afraid the two of them chost
a paddle board into a tropical storm rather than come
back with him waiting on the shore.
Speaker 12 (24:57):
Triple d dirty Diddy, degenerate. Now we learned Nickel and diamond.
It we have to add to the list of his names. Listen,
this is force fraud, coersion equals sexual servitude. Women that
would rather be out in the ocean in a storm
than come and save their lives. Women running away. We
see Cassie, you know, without her shoes on, running in
(25:19):
a hallway. I pray, you know, I have a dream
all the time that he does take the stand, because
that would be the end of this dirty ditty and
the end of talking about him. But you know what,
here's what's happening. In my opinion, I think this is
the best thing that's happening because, you know what, we
don't have to see his face. But let's get back
to you know who does want to see his face?
Because I get a lot of messages, a lot of victims, survivors,
(25:42):
not even of ditties that have been sexually exploited. They
want to know why isn't he taking the stand? They
want to know where where is anybody to stand up
for him? Because there is nobody. They tell me to
stand up for him. So, you know what, this guy,
if this isn't a case of sex trafficking over state
line International, I don't know what is because this is
(26:03):
a clear definition. Let me repeat myself of sexual servitude,
fraudulent ways to get people to attend parties or to
come the little bunny as Tisa calls her. You know,
on this romantic trip, he used fraud. So he is
going down and you know what he is going down,
and we will all be standing there waiting and clapping
our hands.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Shawnkhme's caught licking his lips, rubbing his hands together.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
This was the all Star Kobe Bryant, Shaq Shakill O'Neil
dream Team Shack Attack playoff.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
This is what he wrote. These are his trial notes.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
We are live at the Monhan Federal Courthouse where the
end of the trial seemingly is in sight.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
But first of.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
All, we've got our miss on some of the official
documents and photos exhibits internet into evidence by the state.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Let's take a look at what we obtained.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
Here.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
You see Shawn cohmb's getting yet another beauty treatment.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Okay eight. The jury is.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Drinking this in and now we've got a video the
jury has just gotten.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Let's take a look at.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
That is that Sean comes Sidney Sumner Crime Story's investigative
reporter with a rolex on.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
I think that's what that is. I don't think it's
a fake.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
And he's sitting in the back seat of a luxury
suv wearing diamond earrings and a dope rope.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Is that what I just saw?
Speaker 4 (27:31):
The jury's going to see that, well, Nancy, that sure
sounds like Sean Colmes.
Speaker 13 (27:35):
This man doesn't do anything without style, without being in
the most lux clothes that he can be in. This
man knows what top shelf's quality is and he flaunts
it on a regular basis.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
But yet it's so bizarre Dr Bethany Marshall that he
haggles with people over saving money. We've heard about how
he wants free tickets to basketball games, front seat on
the court, that he wants special perks when he travels not.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
In his private plane. That he wants free.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Clothing, free tickets to Fashion Week, free everything, reduce prices
for illegal sex workers. Yet there he is all laid
up in a luxury suv wearing two huge diamond earrings.
Let me tell you that ain't cubit Zirconia. Okay, A
big dope rope made of gold around is. And I
think that was a Rolex watch. Yet he's haggling with
(28:34):
everybody else.
Speaker 7 (28:35):
And you know, Nancy, Also, if you roll that tape again,
he looks high to me, he doesn't look like he's sober.
And all those complaints about sex workers not being able
to perform.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Well, he wants them to perform ya, thank you. Yep.
Speaker 7 (28:50):
How are the sex workers supposed to keep an direction
for three days? I mean really, So back to not
wanting to pay for things.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Hold it, wait a minute, doctor Bethany, is he's smoking
a blunt? Hold on, let me see. He wastes till
the camera pans away before he puts it to his mouth,
which I'm pretty sure is him avoiding getting caught smoking
a joint.
Speaker 7 (29:14):
He's showing off his orthodontics too. I mean, look, he
just opens his mouth ever so slightly so you can
see all those beautiful veneers. So, Nancy, in terms of
not wanting to pay for anything, that's called entitlement, which
is one of the criteria for narcissism and sociopathy. It's
the expectation of reward without achievement. Wanted the best table
(29:34):
in the restaurant. You've never been to the restaurant before.
Or wanting your girlfriend to come to Turks and Caicos,
but you're lying to her about the fact there's going
to be a vacation. He wanted something for nothing. And
these poor girls Mia, Jane Cassie, they were trolled online
for only being in it for the money. When you
(29:55):
hear this comment about not wanting to pay a six
hundred dollars tab for.
Speaker 12 (29:59):
A sex worker. That's how he treated them. Whatever he
gave them was pennies on the dollar.
Speaker 7 (30:05):
Okay, So they got one piece of jewelry that was
nothing compared to all the hardship that they endured.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Joining me.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Brian Fitzgibbons direct Operations USPA Nationwide Security. He leads a
team of investigators that work all over the world. You
can find him at Uspasecurity dot com. Okay, I want
you to brace yourself. Okay, Brian Fitzgibbons. The new defense
is blame Iran? Why blame Iran? The defense is going
(30:37):
to argue that the prosecutors should be focusing on the
real threat, and that is Iran and not sticking their
noses into Sean Combs's bedroom.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
That's the defense.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
They are going to argue that and closing statements.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
I mean, as soon as Iran and Israel got into
a conflict and.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
The US waited in all the defense attorneys are like
gnashing their teeth and twitching their tails.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
How can we use the war to Danny's benefit? What
about it?
Speaker 6 (31:17):
Fitzgibbons, I just about fell out of my chair when
I read that Nancy about Iran. And we're in the
six week of this trial. The defense is opportunistically taking
this twelve day conflict between Iran and Israel to hopefully
confuse the jury. I guess you know, you've had six
weeks of shocking witness testimony, six weeks of lurid video,
(31:41):
and they're trying to distract the jury with this Iran thing, bottom.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Line crime stories with Nancy Grace. You know what's interesting?
So many things are interesting, Ryan Fitzgibbons. And I'm not
blaming the lawyers of the defense lawyers. Although you make
a choice of what kind of law you want to practice,
(32:07):
you don't have to defend guilty people.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Right, There's a million other things.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
You can do, good things you can do with your
law degree. These lawyers are good. I know for a
fact that Steele is a great lawyer. I know for
a fact Tinny Gergos is a great lawyer. She learned
at the feet of her father, Mark Geergos in a
lot of cases. But this whole Iran suggestion, think about it.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Remember at the get Go mis.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Gibbons that the sex worker came in, he didn't know
who he was working for, and he looked over and
saw a mail completely naked from here down, but wearing
a burka, a burka from here up. I can't wait
for the defense to blame Iran and say, hey, prosecutors,
you need to get out of Diddy's bedroom and focus
(33:01):
on a real threat for homeland security, and that would
be Iran.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
When there is their client dressed up in a burka.
And that brings me to another.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Point for the prosecution, since they didn't ask me. In Iran,
women are treated the way Shawn Combs allegedly treated these
victims every day, beaten, degraded, humiliated, forced to live by
the man's rules, and then the man is shot when
(33:33):
the woman is a quote grateful and one of seawan
Combe's missives, he said, every other woman would be so.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Happy to be in your shoes. Who's he talking to?
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Oh? The woman with a fat lip and the plastic
surgery for the cut over her eye.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
I mean, go on.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Bring up Iran year Agos, bring it up steal and
just see what the state fires back at you. What
about that fitzgibbons Iran my rear end.
Speaker 6 (34:07):
Yeah, they're making no attempt to rehabilitate, you know, witnesses
that have been up there rehabilitate Diddy's image, and they're
going to distract with Iran. You know, maybe that's a
place that Diddy would fit right in at if this
trial works out for him, maybe he can move there.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Free coughs King Night, Hotel Night, Wild King Night. She
was hot and bothered, licking his lips, gross, rubbing his
hands together. Ew And just be clear when we're talking
about licking his lips and rubbing his hands together.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
That was watching the free cough video of his the.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Second love of his life, the first love of his
life being kim Porter, the second one being Cassie Ventura
being forced to have sex with three male sex workers
and licking the lips, rubbing the hands together.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
And demanding extra time to watch the video from the judge.
Not a good look, that said.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
That's what we were just talking about and speaking of
a good look. Now, while he is haggling over bills
that he owes with overde balances and forcing his love
objects to fly cut rate airlines, let's take a look
at what Diddy's doing in his spare time. Wow, Okay,
(35:25):
the full on a beauty treatment. That's from Ditty's official instagram.
I take at Sidney Sumner. This is not behind bars
at the NDC, is it?
Speaker 12 (35:34):
Absolutely not?
Speaker 14 (35:36):
Diddy would not be receiving this kind of treatment at
the MDC, which is apparently on his last legs and
not a great place to be housed. But Nancy, this
was back for a birthday I believe almost ten years ago,
and Combs posted a series of photos bringing his followers
into everything that he does to prepare for a special
(35:59):
event Sidney.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Okay, you know what, Obviously I've had no effect on
Sydney Sumner at all because Lynn Shaw I believe she
just referred to a free cough as a special event.
It's special, all right, special to the prosecutors that have
charged in with sex trafficking.
Speaker 12 (36:18):
Special event? What are we talking about? What have we
seen video evidence of? I mean special event?
Speaker 1 (36:26):
You know what?
Speaker 12 (36:26):
I'm falling out of my chair. I really am, I
can't contain myself. This is sex trafficking, this is I'm
going to go back. I am a broken record. Nancy
force broad coersion upon women, and I'm going to even
maintain some men. And I'm going to throw into the
mix today that you know, we don't even use the
term A lot of us in this, you know, working
in the sex trade against it. We don't use sex
(36:48):
worker because we don't believe sex is work, work is
not sex. Because we have so many studies upwards of
ninety seven percent that tell us those people in the
sex trade, including strippers, including these sex workers from cowboy angels,
angel cowboys, wherever they're coming from, that they were forced
into this sex trade. So again I'm going to go
back to I don't know, we're watching videos of him.
(37:09):
I see three or four women pampering him. You know what,
I wish all the women who were abused right we're
getting that kind of pampering treatment. I wish everybody would
talk more about the victims and survivors of some kind
of monster, this triple D monster that we've had to
endure for the last now seven weeks and multiple months.
And you know what, he's got to go down because
I can't field any more phone calls, text messages, emails
(37:32):
from women begging me, what's going to happen? Is he
going to be held responsible? Because you know what, there's
a lot of dirty ditties out there, so we got
to see one of them being held accountable, and he's
got to go down. And I hope we hear about
this by next week.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
Eric Fattus joining me, I've a try a lawyer, founding
partner of Varner Fattest Elite Legal. Eric, I've been thinking
a lot about the defense decision not to put their
own client on the stand, that was a given at
the get go, but not bringing any defense witnesses at
all in the defense of Shawn Combs, that's a big,
(38:08):
big gamble, Eric Fattus, But I've been thinking about the
reasoning Fattest think about who could they bring on? Anyone
that was a witness to the so called free coughs
would likely have to testify that they were paid sex workers,
or that the women were beaten at some point or
(38:28):
they were drugged.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Who else could.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
Come on good character? Once the defense brings on good
character of Shawn Combs, the steak can then bring on
bad character.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
And what I'm talking about fattest.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
Is those dozens of women, dozens and dozens, there's a total.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
Free number for them, Eric Fattus to call that.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
Are filing civil suits claiming they were drugged and raped
at free coughs. So who are going to bring in
somebody that was at a freak caff that could backfire
on cross examination or a good character witness can't do
that either, So the defense's hands are really tied.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Who can they bring on, Eric Nancy?
Speaker 5 (39:11):
The defense does have several options. I suppose they could
bring on other affiliates, a bad boy who would get
up there, presumably and say, hey, look, bad boy never
paid for any of these freak offs. There was never
anything criminal of which I was aware. There was never
anything that rose to the level of sex trafficking, and
that everything looked consensual. If they had such witnesses, those
(39:34):
would be really valuable to bring up and put onto
the stand. The fact that they're not calling any such
witnesses does kind of raise the specter of, you know,
is there anyone from bad boy who could actually get
up there and truthfully say that.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
We are headed to a verdict watt here at Crime Stories, fatus.
I don't know if you ever did this, but I
would always stand by and the courtroom, waiting, waiting to
hear the zzz buzzer that would go off in the
courtroom when the jury would rely like that they had
(40:10):
a verdict. It's going to be excruciating waiting for this
jury to come back guilty, not guilty, hung or split.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Go ahead, give me your best bet.
Speaker 5 (40:22):
Yeah. I just handled a homicide case and the jury
was out for about a day. I was biting my
fingernails the whole time. Mine was a complete not guilty.
But in this case, you know, I think there is
probably substantial evidence of the interstate transportation for prostitution that
might be guilty. That being said, that's the least serious
(40:43):
charge here. I think the jury could conclude that Bad
Boy was not a criminal enterprise. They could conclude that
these freak offs were consensual, and if they do, that
is a huge black eye to the government. Even if
they are wins on the least serious charge. Who cares
Dinny's proba you get time, zert n saw.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
Where would that leave the victims of this and every
other sex trafficking case?
Speaker 12 (41:08):
Yeah, Well, here, Nancy, it leaves them with never coming forward.
We hear this time and time again. We saw with
the Epstein case. Why should I come forward? Why should
I upbrout my life? Why should I subject my family
to it? Why should I subject myself to embarrassment? This
case has to stick in one way, shape or form.
We have so much proof here. In my opinion, again,
(41:30):
this goes to what we're working with at the Warriors,
NonStop educating the justice system about something called forced servitude. Again,
it is a description of human trafficking equals sex trafficking.
And we see these women beaten, We see Cassie. I
am praying that this jury, no matter what goes down
when they're in that room, because people are visual, no
(41:50):
matter what. They may not even understand legal stuff or whatever,
but they're visual. They will remain. They will that video
will remain in their brains of her being kicked, dragged
running away barefoot down a hallway and he keeps kicking
her and she's just on the floor, not even moving,
and the women out in the ocean and they didn't
come in to say we're afraid of him. He's menacing.
(42:10):
He's there on the beach, pacing back and forth. I
am praying that that's what sticks in their minds and
they do something again. People are visual, and we have
to think of all of this case. We're not talking
enough about victims and survivors, even overall of sex trafficking,
of labor trafficking, of human trafficking. This case is all
that put together in one. So I'm just going to
(42:31):
pray here because I have to be the strong one,
the warrior for all these victims and survivors of sexual
exploitation out there.
Speaker 1 (42:39):
As we wait for the verdict watch.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
To commence, we remember an American hero, Deputy share Bradley Reckling,
Oakland County Sheriffs, just thirty years old, shot dead in
the line of duty, served nine years and leaves behind
his wife Jack, and there are four little children. American
(43:04):
hero Deputy Sheriff Bradley Reckling. Nancy Gray signing off goodbye friend.
Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
The Diddy defense to keep Hitler loving Kanye away from
the Diddy jury. This as Diddy doubles down on the
gamble of a lifetime betting against the state and calling
out a single defense witness to defend him in front
of that jury. The new Diddy defense. Wait for it,
(00:30):
Blame Iran. Yes, that's the Diddy defense. Blame Iran. They're
the real threat and stay out of Didty's bedroom. Okay,
I'm Nancy Grece. This is Crime Stories. I want to
thank you for being with us. Objection ew More freak
(00:51):
takes diddyperve did.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
He is loving every second of it.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Joining us live at the courthouse.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Tisa Tells and investigation and star off Tasa Tales on YouTube.
She's been in the courtroom from the get go, along
with our Sydney Sumner Crime Stories investigative reporter taysa, what
a day.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
In the courtroom? Is it true?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Sean Holmes has decided in his wisdom not to call
a single defense witness.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Not only has he decided not to call a single
defense witness, he is now saying that his day of
defense will be him literally reading well his attorneys reading
text messages half heartedly.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
This has been the ultimate bait and switch. They promised us.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Four weeks, shows and polonies, probably goats running around the courtroom,
anything to distract, and in less than a couple of weeks,
interestingly enough, at the.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Jurorsic got kicked off.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Now they don't even want to call anybody to the stand,
not one accountant, not one employee.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Not one anything very interesting.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Timing straight out to Eric Fattis joining US veteran try
old lawyer, TV illegal analyst founding partner Varner Fattest, Elite Legal,
former felonmy prosecutor Fattest. That is a big gamble now,
I said on day one, I think you fought with
me about this that the defense always claims, Oh, we're
going to have four weeks a testimony, it's going to
(02:18):
be grueling.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Then suddenly it's two weeks.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Now it's two days, and in the last hours it's nothing.
They're putting up nothing. That is a very big gamble.
It's a gamble of a lifetime for.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
Shawn Comes, It's a bullet moove for sir. I mean,
I think a lot of people are expecting kind of
a counter narrative from the defense in this case, it
sounds like we're pretty much not going to hear that.
What it looks like is the defense is contenting that, hey,
the prosecution has the burden here. It's their job to
put on the evidence. They have failed woefully according to
(02:52):
the defense, and the defense really doesn't need to do
anything more that they've established what they need to through
cross examination, through high lighting some of these text messages
that they show that they says show consent, and so
they're going to kind of give it over to the
jury in about a day or so.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Eric fattis, of course, there's going to be a huge, long,
extremely painful and boring charge conference. The charge conference occurs
just before closing arguments, and in a charge conference, both sides,
the state and the defense, submit jury charges to the judge.
What are jury charges? Those are the instructions where the
(03:31):
judge literally reads the law verbatim to the jury, the
law by which they are to judge this case.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
They'll get a charge on sex trafficking.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
They'll get a charge on coercion, They'll get a charge
on everything that Sean Comes is charged with. They'll get
a charge on reasonable doubt, presumption of innocence. Every permutation
of the law that can apply to this case.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
On credibility, the burden is on the state.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
They'll also get a charge fattest on the defendant's right
to remain silent, and.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
They're going to be told if the defendant.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Doesn't testify, you cannot hold that against him. Okay, we
all know that's coming. But the reality, Fattest, The reality
is when the defense stands up and says, your honor,
the defense rests in front of the jury, They're going
to be going like, what, he's not going to take
the stand.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
He's got nothing to say. You know they're thinking that fattest.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Without question, that's got to be going on in these
jurism minds. Look, they're going to get this instruction that says, hey,
did he has a constitutional right not testify? If he
elects to exercise that right, the jury cannot hold that
against him. Jurors are human beings, though you don't think about.
If a parent has two kids and there's cookies missing
from the cookie jar, you want to hear from both kids.
(04:54):
You want to hear both sides. You want to hear
sorts of reasons and any sort of corroborative of evidence.
That supports either side. But in a court room, it's
just a different scenario. And Diddy is not going to testify.
It would be perless for him to do that. And
so will these jurors be able to follow that instruction
and not somehow will hold that against it. He's saying, Hey,
(05:15):
I want to hear from that guy. I want to
hear his story.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yeah, and you know what they're going to think in
their heads. If he's telling the truth, why doesn't he
take the stand?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
What does he have to fear? Now?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Of course, the state cannot argue that to the jury.
That would be reversible error. Any comment or allusion to
him invoking his right to remain.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Silent is reversible error. If the state.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Doesn't, now, the defense will be able to argue. Now, remember, jury,
you absolutely cannot hold it against him that he didn't testify.
He has no burden and he didn't need to testify.
You know why, because the state didn't prove their case.
That is what they're going to be argue. Put money
on it. Go ahead and make book.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Tisa Tales joining me outside the courthouse. You can find
her at Tasa tails on YouTube. Tisa of course, the
defendant doesn't have to testify, and the jury's going to
hear that injury instructions. But what about all these other people?
What about Christina Korum? Why didn't she come through for
the defense? If Koram has nothing to hide, why didn't
(06:19):
she come on for showing comes? Why didn't Jana She
wouldn't come in for the state. So where are all
of these other witnesses that have been part of this scenario?
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Where are they? Exactly? See, here's the thing.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Did he still act like he's controlling everything and he
can snap his fingers and make us deny reality?
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Yes, we all know form watching Mattlocke and everything else
that he does not have to testify. But to your point,
where is everyone else?
Speaker 4 (06:48):
When you look at as a real life human woman,
it looks weird and it's going to look whird to
the jury that there is not one employee, not one investigator,
not one freak off worker, one entertainer, not anyone for
walking next to is going to come on the stand,
and not one uncharged co conspirator KK that is going
(07:08):
to come on the stand and say, hey, let me
tell you what it is. And you've got to look
at it through the jury's point of view, because we're
getting the same view that the jury is.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
They were promised in the opening argument.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
That they were going to prove they had a tentative
end date, so they're thinking somewhere between July fourth July eighteenth.
They are waiting for Diddy to put on his defense.
Now imagine this, though. You just see your coworker get dismissed.
They don't know why, they just said we no longer
need you, and they see a shuffling, and then all
of a sudden, Diddy's team comes out and stands up
(07:43):
and says.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
And we rest our case.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
It looks odd, it looks weird, and I think, and
most people in the courtroom think it's not going to
play the way all these legal analysis think it is.
We are real life humans, and you gotta think, where
is your defense?
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Keep quiet, but where is your defense?
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Just bring us one sex worker, the punisher, the planar,
whatever you want to call them.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Bring us one sex worker that.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Can say it was consensual and they enjoyed it.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
They cannot.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
I think it's a big mistake, and a lot of
people in the courtroom think so too.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
An Tasa Tailles, what about friends, friends of Cassie Ventura,
friends of Mia not her real name, friends of Jane
not her real name, to say, oh, this is total bs.
She never complained about.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
The free costs. In fact, she never even mentioned them.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
You know why they're not bringing them because they don't exist.
But if the jury gets back there and thinks this
through the way we're thinking it through, they'll think, well,
wait a minute, don't any of the alleged victims have
friends that the victims confide in.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Why didn't they come on? I don't get it.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Say they're going to go back there, I think, and
they're going to reason through the fact that the defense
did not bring one single person on. Let me go
back to Eric Fattus joining me veteran trial lawyer. While
the state cannot comment on the defendant's right to remain silent,
(09:15):
if the defense has alluded to other witnesses, okay, if
they've said, well, none of her friends state that she
was harmed, or she was coerced, or she was drugged.
If the defense said that at any point in the trial,
or something akin to that, the state can comment on
(09:38):
the defense's failure to produce those witnesses. They can't say
it about the defendant not taking the stand, but they
can comment on any witness the defense has alluded to
that the defense did not bring in front of the jury.
That might happen fattest fancy shockingly.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
I think we agree on that. I think generally speaking,
there can't be burden shifting, so they got to be
careful about that. But the defense has the same subpoena
power that the prosecution has. So the defense, like you said,
could have subpoenaed bad entertainment folks who if they had
these witnesses would get up there and say, hey, I
wasn't aware of any freak offs. I didn't pay for this,
(10:18):
The business didn't pay for this. That they could have
gotten attendees of these hotel parties who said, hey, everything
appeared consensual to me, and no one was saying no,
we're not hearing from any of those witnesses. And I
think it's probably fair game for the prosecution to say, hey,
defense told you about witness X, Y and Z, who
was going to come up here? Where are those folks?
Speaker 6 (10:39):
You know?
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Doctor Bethany Marshall joining us are now psycho analyst out
of the LA jurisdiction, author of deal Breaker. You can
find her on peacock and online at doctor Bethany Marshall
dot com. I know, I get it that the jury
is going to be told and it's going to be
hammered in in the defense closing argument that Shawn did
(11:00):
not have to take the stand and there was no
need for him to take the stand because the state
failed improving its case. That's going to be the argument.
But you want to tell me, Bethany, you know people
better than anybody.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
They're not going to talk about why.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Didn't he take the stand, And then somebody in the
jury deliberation room is going to go, you can't talk
about that, you can't think.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
About it, and the other one will say, yeah, okay, you're.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Right, let's not talk about the fact that he didn't
take the stand.
Speaker 7 (11:26):
He didn't take the stand. Not only that, Nancy, in
a way he has taken the stand, not personally he
invoked his right to remain silent, but that those jurors
have heard p Diddy's voice, they have heard your my
crack pipe, they have heard where are you? They have
seen the text, they have heard the text written out loud.
(11:47):
So unless he comes in with a better kinder gentler voice.
That is what they were left with. You know, there
was one interaction that just came out where he called
Cowboys for Angel and they said, you know, you owe
us another six hundred dollars and he said, well, the
guy didn't even perform. And then she said, well, they're
(12:07):
not there to perform the worker for a Cowboys for Angels.
They're there too. You're paying for their time, not their erection,
basically is what she was saying. And then he steps
in and says, okay, be nice. I found that interaction
very interesting because it told me how quickly he becomes
aggressive with people when he doesn't get his way. She
(12:30):
was being perfectly nice. She was just explaining that he
was paying for the sex workers time, but he began
to turn on her. I think that's the kind of
voice that's going to be in the jurors head. Resoundingly.
Who talks like that? Nobody really Well, P Diddy, well.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
You're right, you're right speaking of that. Take a listen
to this. The court.
Speaker 8 (12:49):
Here's texts were Shawn Combs haggles with Bridget from Cowboys
for Angels over escore prices. Bridget informs Combs that he
still has an outstanding six hundred dollars balance, to which
Combs replies, Lol, he couldn't even perform. Bridget reminds Colmbs
he's paying for the man's time, and Colmb's retorts that
she should talk nice to him since he's a longtime customer.
(13:10):
In another exchange, Colmbs tells Bridget to stop raising my
rate because he is a long timer. Bridget says it
isn't up to her, but the escort, adding that the
best guys have high rates.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Excuse me, but did I just hear Sean Combs aka
Itty Bitty Diddy whining that the sex worker couldn't perform?
Correct me if I'm wrong, But Tisa tells, I got
to circle back to doctor Bethany's allegation and she's right
that we in a way hear Shawn Combe's voice through
(13:43):
all of his ridiculous texts. This one included what is
wrong with rich people?
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Here?
Speaker 1 (13:48):
He is committing a crime.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
He is ordering up a sex worker like he's ordering
a pepperoni pizza from Papa John's. Okay, he's ordering up
a sex worker.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
And he's one about how much they're charging him for
a maal sex worker and.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Cash this He even has an unpaid balance.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
What is wrong with rich people?
Speaker 2 (14:12):
He's a billionaire and he can't pay his six hundred
dollars ballance to a sex worker, which, hello.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Is illegal.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
And here we've got him on text haggling with the
woman about the thief for the sex worker and the irony.
The insult to the irony is he accuses the sex
worker of not being able to perform.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I wonder if it has anything to do with him.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Dragging Cassie Ventira out in the middle of the freak
off and beating her and then sending her back in
to perform correctly. But woa whoaoa whoa eddy beady Diddy,
the one sitting over there, button naked, wearing a burka
over his face, talking on the phone and trying to masturbate.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
He says the sex worker can't be for him perform.
Did I just hear that?
Speaker 3 (14:58):
You just heard that? And that was one of the
most shocking things we heard in court.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
When you talk about these billionaires, I literally said, I thought,
being part of a billionars that praved.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Harm had some perps.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
He started the conversation off by accusing them of raising rates.
She literally had the screenship a picture of the rates
to let her know I'm trying to be even and
even after that, he then tried to short six hundred.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
We heard about these sex workers being flown on Spirit Airlines.
Are you insane? Spirit Airlines paying for their own ubers?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
This man was beyond che Ponder up, Tasa Towels.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Why are you acting like Spirit Airlines is because I mean,
I've flown on Spirit Airlines before. They tried to charge
me for a cup, not a bottle, a cup of water.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
I swear I wonder if.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
I had to pay to go to the bathroom, and
I decided I would just hold it. I can't remember
if you had to pay to go to the bathroom.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
So TSA.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
You mentioned seemingly outraged that he flew these sex workers
on Spirit Airlines, But the irony, the other irony, is
that he has a sixty million dollar private jet that
he is renting out for tens of thousands.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Of dollars per flight, and the.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Guests have no idea they need one of these before
they sit down on Diddie's jet, Because you know, there's
no way he can resist being a member of the.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Mile High Club.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
That's not going to happen, and he's bringing in I
think since he was arrested over four million dollars revenue
from renting out. Oh there you go his private jet.
So what were you saying about flying everyone on spirit?
Speaker 4 (16:45):
The fact that he flew them on spirit the most
low budget. They were in charge of their own taxis
and charge of their own ubers. They literally were paying
money out.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Of their pockets for the presence of being with them.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
And get this, he actually had a running tab that
they would have to He's after him afterwards, begging for
reimbursement of any type even services. Again, it was shocking
that a billionaire, But when it comes down to it,
there is something about a cosmic justice that his own
cheapness of not handling this directly is the reason why
(17:17):
the Feds had this little breadth from trail of who
did what, because the receipts and the reimbursements again did
he was notoriously cheap.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
With its time, with its love. And now it seems like.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
It is all coming down but a lot of shocking things.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
We are alive at the Monahan Federal Courthouse as we
are learning Israel Shawkhin's not taking the stand and ringing
not a single.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Witness and his defense.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
But I think there's one person that's willing to testify
for Shawn Comms.
Speaker 9 (17:51):
Recent reports indicate that Christian Colmbs is working on new
music with rapper Kanye West, but for Shawn Combe's sake,
hopefully the projects are not for Ye's upcoming album Cook.
The rapper released the album's featured single, Hail Hitler, which
includes a long sample of a Hitler speech, just for
every music platform to immediately take it down. Several other
(18:14):
tracks are in the works for Cook, including gas Chambers,
World War III, and Hitler.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Yee and Jesus.
Speaker 9 (18:22):
While Ye is set to perform at a music festival
in Slovakia and July, protesters have started a petition to
prevent the performance.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Tasa Tales joining me at the Monahan Federal Courthouse. That's
one person that would be willing to testify for Shan
comes Kanye, and he's got time. He's not going to
sang his Hitler song Until July.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Kanye was to testify, but like what everything else did,
he said, it didn't come to fruition. And let me
tell you, they actually put him on the witness list.
They actually even put him on the family list that
come sit in court. Again, this underlies the fact that
the defense did not know that they were not going
to put any witnesses on till the last minute.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
And Nancy, I hear you. You might be able to
explain away the whole fit amendment. But the one thing
I think that the normal.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
Person would say when you are being faced with sex
trafficking and going to jail for the rest of your life,
the fact that you cannot bring one person either Kanye's
crazy salt. You cannot bring one friend to Cassie. You
cannot even bring one sex worker. How powerful to have
the sex worker that was in the room when Cassie
(19:30):
was dragged back to get on the stand and say hey, look,
It only sends one message to the jury. You can't
mount a defense because there is nobody that is willing
to stand up against penalty of perjury and speak one.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Good word about you. Again, I get what.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
The legal eagles are saying, and Nancy have a good point,
but I am certain this is not going to play well.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
To the jury.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
And like you said, the jury is going to be
shocked when they sit there. Not even Kanye, who.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Said he was ready and willing.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
To testify and do what he could to protect Diddy
is willing to get the defense even thinks.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
That's a bad idea. Again, they are running.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Scared crime stories with Nancy Grace.
Speaker 10 (20:22):
Within an hour of West's Super Bowl ad airing on TV.
The only item available in his shop is a twenty
dollars short sleeved white T shirt with a swastika on it.
The shirt is named HHO one. Many believe the letters
stand for Hyle Hitler. Critics and fans alike are absolutely
horrified shopify. The site's host suspends Yeezy's account within twenty
(20:46):
four hours. The site now reading this shop is not available.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
That's just what you don't want as a Hitler loving
wackadoodle like Kanye. Maybe'll even bring his naked wife Biancasen Sorrianan.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Here's his idea of a good idea. Tisa tales.
Speaker 8 (21:04):
I spent like all the money put a commercial.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
On these new teeth once again. I had to shoot
it on the iPhone.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Go to easy dot com.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
So Tisa tales. Uh oh. By the way, that's from
the official Yeasy page.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Kanye is still threatening to come into the courtroom like
a stink bomb. And sit behind Sean Combs during closing arguments,
or at some point he was all angry he couldn't
be put into the regular courtroom and had to sit
an overflow a few days ago. But I imagine he's going
to make up for all that with a grand entrance.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Any sign of Kanye there.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Is zero sign, zero security. Listen, with friends like Kanye,
you don't need enemies.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
And he's welcome to come because.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
Unlike unlike weeks before, did He's side is empty. Mama
Comes hasn't even shown up yet, so there is plenty
of space.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Again. I'm not much for conspiracies, but.
Speaker 11 (22:05):
You have to wonder it is comany even on Didny's side,
And if this is the best and the brightest that
you can get to stand there and help rebuild your
integrity to the jury, Yeah, I see why Diddy is
not even having one witness testify if this is the
only person he can get Tasa Tales.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
In the last hours, more photographic exhibits by the state
have been entered before the jury. Let's take a look
at them, and you can tell us exactly the significance
of the photos.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Tasa Tales. Here we have Sean combs.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
At the beach. What did that have to do with anything?
Why did the state introduce that.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Because this was supposed to be Hilm at Turps, I
believe where he kept tricking Jane to come.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
She begged you to love me, come out.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Companies are the women. He said, you know what, baby,
don't worry. I'm going to make a special trip for
the two of us. We're going to your dream location.
I'm taking you to Turks and it's just going to
be the two of us and we're going to reconnect.
And our little bunny bunny Rabbis said, you don't meet it.
He said, baby, yes, I do. Just get on that plane.
She was so excited that were text messages says finally
(23:13):
just me and you.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
It was supposed to be a romantic knight.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
What is the significance of this because they also showed
the text messages that in the background, he was coordinating
with their favorite little sex worker to actually show up,
unbeknownst to Jane and Ambusher. Once you had taken all
those narcotics and was loosey goosey, and that is how
he by fraud got her to do a freak golf
(23:38):
and they're showing in the days that yes you were
at Turks, Yes you transported those prostitution prostitutes, not over
state lines, but even over international And this is another
thing of how.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
They have Diddy.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
It seems like dead to rights, so dead to rights again,
keep beating a dead horse, but so dead to writs
that not one person will come and sit on that
stand to defend his.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Antics speaking of that ill fated trip to Turks. And
I'm trying to remember if this is the one Linn
Shaw joining me, founder executive director Lyn's Warriors, committed to
ending sex trafficking and sex.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Exploitation of women and girls.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Do you remember the beach trip where two of the
alleged victims paddle board into a storm rather than come
back to the shore because they could see Sean comes pacing.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Back and forth on the shore like a tiger.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Right, And now we see those photos Linshaw of him
chillaxon on the beach. But we know what happened after that.
The women were so afraid the two of them chost
a paddle board into a tropical storm rather than come
back with him waiting on the shore.
Speaker 12 (24:57):
Triple d dirty Diddy, degenerate. Now we learned Nickel and diamond.
It we have to add to the list of his names. Listen,
this is force fraud, coersion equals sexual servitude. Women that
would rather be out in the ocean in a storm
than come and save their lives. Women running away. We
see Cassie, you know, without her shoes on, running in
(25:19):
a hallway. I pray, you know, I have a dream
all the time that he does take the stand, because
that would be the end of this dirty ditty and
the end of talking about him. But you know what,
here's what's happening. In my opinion, I think this is
the best thing that's happening because, you know what, we
don't have to see his face. But let's get back
to you know who does want to see his face?
Because I get a lot of messages, a lot of victims, survivors,
(25:42):
not even of ditties that have been sexually exploited. They
want to know why isn't he taking the stand? They
want to know where where is anybody to stand up
for him? Because there is nobody. They tell me to
stand up for him. So, you know what, this guy,
if this isn't a case of sex trafficking over state
line International, I don't know what is because this is
(26:03):
a clear definition. Let me repeat myself of sexual servitude,
fraudulent ways to get people to attend parties or to
come the little bunny as Tisa calls her. You know,
on this romantic trip, he used fraud. So he is
going down and you know what he is going down,
and we will all be standing there waiting and clapping
our hands.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Shawnkhme's caught licking his lips, rubbing his hands together.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
This was the all Star Kobe Bryant, Shaq Shakill O'Neil
dream Team Shack Attack playoff.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
This is what he wrote. These are his trial notes.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
We are live at the Monhan Federal Courthouse where the
end of the trial seemingly is in sight.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
But first of.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
All, we've got our miss on some of the official
documents and photos exhibits internet into evidence by the state.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Let's take a look at what we obtained.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
Here.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
You see Shawn cohmb's getting yet another beauty treatment.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Okay eight. The jury is.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Drinking this in and now we've got a video the
jury has just gotten.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Let's take a look at.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
That is that Sean comes Sidney Sumner Crime Story's investigative
reporter with a rolex on.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
I think that's what that is. I don't think it's
a fake.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
And he's sitting in the back seat of a luxury
suv wearing diamond earrings and a dope rope.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Is that what I just saw?
Speaker 4 (27:31):
The jury's going to see that, well, Nancy, that sure
sounds like Sean Colmes.
Speaker 13 (27:35):
This man doesn't do anything without style, without being in
the most lux clothes that he can be in. This
man knows what top shelf's quality is and he flaunts
it on a regular basis.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
But yet it's so bizarre Dr Bethany Marshall that he
haggles with people over saving money. We've heard about how
he wants free tickets to basketball games, front seat on
the court, that he wants special perks when he travels not.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
In his private plane. That he wants free.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Clothing, free tickets to Fashion Week, free everything, reduce prices
for illegal sex workers. Yet there he is all laid
up in a luxury suv wearing two huge diamond earrings.
Let me tell you that ain't cubit Zirconia. Okay, A
big dope rope made of gold around is. And I
think that was a Rolex watch. Yet he's haggling with
(28:34):
everybody else.
Speaker 7 (28:35):
And you know, Nancy, Also, if you roll that tape again,
he looks high to me, he doesn't look like he's sober.
And all those complaints about sex workers not being able
to perform.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Well, he wants them to perform ya, thank you. Yep.
Speaker 7 (28:50):
How are the sex workers supposed to keep an direction
for three days? I mean really, So back to not
wanting to pay for things.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Hold it, wait a minute, doctor Bethany, is he's smoking
a blunt? Hold on, let me see. He wastes till
the camera pans away before he puts it to his mouth,
which I'm pretty sure is him avoiding getting caught smoking
a joint.
Speaker 7 (29:14):
He's showing off his orthodontics too. I mean, look, he
just opens his mouth ever so slightly so you can
see all those beautiful veneers. So, Nancy, in terms of
not wanting to pay for anything, that's called entitlement, which
is one of the criteria for narcissism and sociopathy. It's
the expectation of reward without achievement. Wanted the best table
(29:34):
in the restaurant. You've never been to the restaurant before.
Or wanting your girlfriend to come to Turks and Caicos,
but you're lying to her about the fact there's going
to be a vacation. He wanted something for nothing. And
these poor girls Mia, Jane Cassie, they were trolled online
for only being in it for the money. When you
(29:55):
hear this comment about not wanting to pay a six
hundred dollars tab for.
Speaker 12 (29:59):
A sex worker. That's how he treated them. Whatever he
gave them was pennies on the dollar.
Speaker 7 (30:05):
Okay, So they got one piece of jewelry that was
nothing compared to all the hardship that they endured.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Joining me.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Brian Fitzgibbons direct Operations USPA Nationwide Security. He leads a
team of investigators that work all over the world. You
can find him at Uspasecurity dot com. Okay, I want
you to brace yourself. Okay, Brian Fitzgibbons. The new defense
is blame Iran? Why blame Iran? The defense is going
(30:37):
to argue that the prosecutors should be focusing on the
real threat, and that is Iran and not sticking their
noses into Sean Combs's bedroom.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
That's the defense.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
They are going to argue that and closing statements.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
I mean, as soon as Iran and Israel got into
a conflict and.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
The US waited in all the defense attorneys are like
gnashing their teeth and twitching their tails.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
How can we use the war to Danny's benefit? What
about it?
Speaker 6 (31:17):
Fitzgibbons, I just about fell out of my chair when
I read that Nancy about Iran. And we're in the
six week of this trial. The defense is opportunistically taking
this twelve day conflict between Iran and Israel to hopefully
confuse the jury. I guess you know, you've had six
weeks of shocking witness testimony, six weeks of lurid video,
(31:41):
and they're trying to distract the jury with this Iran thing, bottom.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Line crime stories with Nancy Grace. You know what's interesting?
So many things are interesting, Ryan Fitzgibbons. And I'm not
blaming the lawyers of the defense lawyers. Although you make
a choice of what kind of law you want to practice,
(32:07):
you don't have to defend guilty people.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Right, There's a million other things.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
You can do, good things you can do with your
law degree. These lawyers are good. I know for a
fact that Steele is a great lawyer. I know for
a fact Tinny Gergos is a great lawyer. She learned
at the feet of her father, Mark Geergos in a
lot of cases. But this whole Iran suggestion, think about it.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Remember at the get Go mis.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Gibbons that the sex worker came in, he didn't know
who he was working for, and he looked over and
saw a mail completely naked from here down, but wearing
a burka, a burka from here up. I can't wait
for the defense to blame Iran and say, hey, prosecutors,
you need to get out of Diddy's bedroom and focus
(33:01):
on a real threat for homeland security, and that would
be Iran.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
When there is their client dressed up in a burka.
And that brings me to another.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Point for the prosecution, since they didn't ask me. In Iran,
women are treated the way Shawn Combs allegedly treated these
victims every day, beaten, degraded, humiliated, forced to live by
the man's rules, and then the man is shot when
(33:33):
the woman is a quote grateful and one of seawan
Combe's missives, he said, every other woman would be so.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Happy to be in your shoes. Who's he talking to?
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Oh? The woman with a fat lip and the plastic
surgery for the cut over her eye.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
I mean, go on.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Bring up Iran year Agos, bring it up steal and
just see what the state fires back at you. What
about that fitzgibbons Iran my rear end.
Speaker 6 (34:07):
Yeah, they're making no attempt to rehabilitate, you know, witnesses
that have been up there rehabilitate Diddy's image, and they're
going to distract with Iran. You know, maybe that's a
place that Diddy would fit right in at if this
trial works out for him, maybe he can move there.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Free coughs King Night, Hotel Night, Wild King Night. She
was hot and bothered, licking his lips, gross, rubbing his
hands together. Ew And just be clear when we're talking
about licking his lips and rubbing his hands together.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
That was watching the free cough video of his the.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Second love of his life, the first love of his
life being kim Porter, the second one being Cassie Ventura
being forced to have sex with three male sex workers
and licking the lips, rubbing the hands together.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
And demanding extra time to watch the video from the judge.
Not a good look, that said.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
That's what we were just talking about and speaking of
a good look. Now, while he is haggling over bills
that he owes with overde balances and forcing his love
objects to fly cut rate airlines, let's take a look
at what Diddy's doing in his spare time. Wow, Okay,
(35:25):
the full on a beauty treatment. That's from Ditty's official instagram.
I take at Sidney Sumner. This is not behind bars
at the NDC, is it?
Speaker 12 (35:34):
Absolutely not?
Speaker 14 (35:36):
Diddy would not be receiving this kind of treatment at
the MDC, which is apparently on his last legs and
not a great place to be housed. But Nancy, this
was back for a birthday I believe almost ten years ago,
and Combs posted a series of photos bringing his followers
into everything that he does to prepare for a special
(35:59):
event Sidney.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Okay, you know what, Obviously I've had no effect on
Sydney Sumner at all because Lynn Shaw I believe she
just referred to a free cough as a special event.
It's special, all right, special to the prosecutors that have
charged in with sex trafficking.
Speaker 12 (36:18):
Special event? What are we talking about? What have we
seen video evidence of? I mean special event?
Speaker 1 (36:26):
You know what?
Speaker 12 (36:26):
I'm falling out of my chair. I really am, I
can't contain myself. This is sex trafficking, this is I'm
going to go back. I am a broken record. Nancy
force broad coersion upon women, and I'm going to even
maintain some men. And I'm going to throw into the
mix today that you know, we don't even use the
term A lot of us in this, you know, working
in the sex trade against it. We don't use sex
(36:48):
worker because we don't believe sex is work, work is
not sex. Because we have so many studies upwards of
ninety seven percent that tell us those people in the
sex trade, including strippers, including these sex workers from cowboy angels,
angel cowboys, wherever they're coming from, that they were forced
into this sex trade. So again I'm going to go
back to I don't know, we're watching videos of him.
(37:09):
I see three or four women pampering him. You know what,
I wish all the women who were abused right we're
getting that kind of pampering treatment. I wish everybody would
talk more about the victims and survivors of some kind
of monster, this triple D monster that we've had to
endure for the last now seven weeks and multiple months.
And you know what, he's got to go down because
I can't field any more phone calls, text messages, emails
(37:32):
from women begging me, what's going to happen? Is he
going to be held responsible? Because you know what, there's
a lot of dirty ditties out there, so we got
to see one of them being held accountable, and he's
got to go down. And I hope we hear about
this by next week.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
Eric Fattus joining me, I've a try a lawyer, founding
partner of Varner Fattest Elite Legal. Eric, I've been thinking
a lot about the defense decision not to put their
own client on the stand, that was a given at
the get go, but not bringing any defense witnesses at
all in the defense of Shawn Combs, that's a big,
(38:08):
big gamble, Eric Fattus, But I've been thinking about the
reasoning Fattest think about who could they bring on? Anyone
that was a witness to the so called free coughs
would likely have to testify that they were paid sex workers,
or that the women were beaten at some point or
(38:28):
they were drugged.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Who else could.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
Come on good character? Once the defense brings on good
character of Shawn Combs, the steak can then bring on
bad character.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
And what I'm talking about fattest.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
Is those dozens of women, dozens and dozens, there's a total.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
Free number for them, Eric Fattus to call that.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
Are filing civil suits claiming they were drugged and raped
at free coughs. So who are going to bring in
somebody that was at a freak caff that could backfire
on cross examination or a good character witness can't do
that either, So the defense's hands are really tied.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Who can they bring on, Eric Nancy?
Speaker 5 (39:11):
The defense does have several options. I suppose they could
bring on other affiliates, a bad boy who would get
up there, presumably and say, hey, look, bad boy never
paid for any of these freak offs. There was never
anything criminal of which I was aware. There was never
anything that rose to the level of sex trafficking, and
that everything looked consensual. If they had such witnesses, those
(39:34):
would be really valuable to bring up and put onto
the stand. The fact that they're not calling any such
witnesses does kind of raise the specter of, you know,
is there anyone from bad boy who could actually get
up there and truthfully say that.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
We are headed to a verdict watt here at Crime Stories, fatus.
I don't know if you ever did this, but I
would always stand by and the courtroom, waiting, waiting to
hear the zzz buzzer that would go off in the
courtroom when the jury would rely like that they had
(40:10):
a verdict. It's going to be excruciating waiting for this
jury to come back guilty, not guilty, hung or split.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Go ahead, give me your best bet.
Speaker 5 (40:22):
Yeah. I just handled a homicide case and the jury
was out for about a day. I was biting my
fingernails the whole time. Mine was a complete not guilty.
But in this case, you know, I think there is
probably substantial evidence of the interstate transportation for prostitution that
might be guilty. That being said, that's the least serious
(40:43):
charge here. I think the jury could conclude that Bad
Boy was not a criminal enterprise. They could conclude that
these freak offs were consensual, and if they do, that
is a huge black eye to the government. Even if
they are wins on the least serious charge. Who cares
Dinny's proba you get time, zert n saw.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
Where would that leave the victims of this and every
other sex trafficking case?
Speaker 12 (41:08):
Yeah, Well, here, Nancy, it leaves them with never coming forward.
We hear this time and time again. We saw with
the Epstein case. Why should I come forward? Why should
I upbrout my life? Why should I subject my family
to it? Why should I subject myself to embarrassment? This
case has to stick in one way, shape or form.
We have so much proof here. In my opinion, again,
(41:30):
this goes to what we're working with at the Warriors,
NonStop educating the justice system about something called forced servitude. Again,
it is a description of human trafficking equals sex trafficking.
And we see these women beaten, We see Cassie. I
am praying that this jury, no matter what goes down
when they're in that room, because people are visual, no
(41:50):
matter what. They may not even understand legal stuff or whatever,
but they're visual. They will remain. They will that video
will remain in their brains of her being kicked, dragged
running away barefoot down a hallway and he keeps kicking
her and she's just on the floor, not even moving,
and the women out in the ocean and they didn't
come in to say we're afraid of him. He's menacing.
(42:10):
He's there on the beach, pacing back and forth. I
am praying that that's what sticks in their minds and
they do something again. People are visual, and we have
to think of all of this case. We're not talking
enough about victims and survivors, even overall of sex trafficking,
of labor trafficking, of human trafficking. This case is all
that put together in one. So I'm just going to
(42:31):
pray here because I have to be the strong one,
the warrior for all these victims and survivors of sexual
exploitation out there.
Speaker 1 (42:39):
As we wait for the verdict watch.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
To commence, we remember an American hero, Deputy share Bradley Reckling,
Oakland County Sheriffs, just thirty years old, shot dead in
the line of duty, served nine years and leaves behind
his wife Jack, and there are four little children. American
(43:04):
hero Deputy Sheriff Bradley Reckling. Nancy Gray signing off goodbye friend.
