Speaker 2 (00:24):
Nancy, It's widely speculated that the judge task with determining
Ditty's prison sentence has indicated he may lean towards the
prosecution and enforce a stringent penalty against the music mogul.
Judge Aaron Submarinean rejected Ditty's appeal for a one million
dollar bond, asserting that while he was acquitted of the

(00:44):
gravest accusations, the trial demonstrated the rapper's propensity for violence,
labeling him as a threat to society. The judge noted
that Ditty's quote violent behavior was clearly evident in a
twenty sixteen video showing the rapper attacking Cassie in a
Los Angeles hotel corridor. In your closing argument, you explicitly

(01:07):
informed the jury that violence was present, and domestic violence
constitutes violence, Submarinean remarked, while denying did He's bond request.
You stated that this case involved violence. Despite did He's
legal team persuading the jury that he was not a
sex trafficker or leader of a criminal organization, they acknowledged

(01:28):
his history of domestic abuse. The judge may leverage this
admission to impose a lengthy prison term for did He's
two convictions related to transportation for prostitution. Did He's attorneys
suggested that federal sentencing guidelines would likely result in a
two year prison term. They urged the judge to allow
the mogul to remain in his Miami mansion while awaiting sentencing,

but the judge declined that request and scheduled sentencing for
October three, Although this date may be a just in

to present additional testimonies from alleged victims as they seek
a substantial sentence for Ditty. Diddy has been incarcerated since
his arrest in September, and has already completed nine months

(02:34):
in custody. A jury of eight men and four women
acquitted him of racketeering, conspiracy, and sex trafficking charges that
alleged he utilized his wealth, influence and intimidating physical presence
to coherse girlfriends into participating in numerous drug fueled sexual
encounters with men. Ditty's defense argued that the women were

(02:55):
consenting participants and that his actions did not merit the
severity of the charges. His lead attorney, Mark Agnifilo, requested
Ditty's immediate release on bond, contending that the acquittals altered
the circumstances regarding his necessity for detention. Quote He's not
going to flee. He's been given his life back, Agnifilo stated.

(03:16):
Judge Submarinian denied the request, stating that did he had
not sufficiently demonstrated quote a lack of danger to any
individual or community at this time. As the judge announced
his bond decision, did he remained composed and then turned
to Agnifilo, jotting down notes while the lawyer spoke. He
raised his hand to catch the judge's attention, but ultimately

(03:38):
chose not to speak. After conferring with his attorney. As
he exited the courtroom for the last time, did he
