vision entertainment editor at Network Tell welcome, Ange.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Great to have you on the show. As always, I mean,
before we get into some very serious business, can we
just bathe in some silly business for a second. Do
you think that a pet psychic is going to be
able to find me in five minutes anywhere in Australia
just because I'm wearing a pussy Cat Onesie.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Believer?
Speaker 1 (00:39):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
I love that. And have you have you employed the
services of a pet psychic before?
Speaker 3 (00:44):
I have not, but I'm open to it if I
get a pet first Yeah, couple.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
First step usually all right, thanks, And I feel like
we're almost like in a bit of avoidance here because
this is the tough thing to talk about, but we're
glad we've got you one because I know you're right
across this. The jury has reached a verdict on four
of five counts in the Diddy trial.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Is is that right?
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Yes, they walked into court and they told the judge
we've reached a verdict in four of the five counts,
but we're unpersuadable on both sides. For the fifth count,
now accounts they found verdicts on were two of sex
trafficking and two of transportation to engage in prostitution. That
(01:33):
leaves the biggie, which is racketeering. And this is the
one that can landing in prison for life racketeering and
conspiracy run.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Over Bishop racketeering. This is word has been thrown around
a lot. Racketeering means that he's set up an organization
to do a legal activity, Is that right?
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Yeah, I'll give you the definition. The court's going with
a so called enterprise. A group of people engaged in
a common purpose, committed or planned to commit two other
crimes in connection with enterprise in a ten year period.
So that could be drug trafficking, kidnapping, prostitution, us and
(02:17):
any of these things allegations.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Right and so bish, we don't know at this point.
You said there that so four of the five they've
come to a verty, but we don't know which way
they've gone on those.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
No, that's right, And this was the interesting thing. Those
in court are reporting that when they said they had
these verdicts, did he slumped down in his chair? Now
that's not something they've really seen that kind of reaction
from him so far in the trial. Eight of his
lawyers immediately huddled around him to sort of hide him
(02:50):
from the people in court. And then the jury revealed,
or the judge revealed, that he would not hear what
those verdicts were, and he kind of came back to relief,
blew a kiss to his family and told his mother
he loved her. So he was obvious sleep panicking there
for a minute, just you know, not because he necessarily
(03:12):
thinks whatever the verdict's going to be, but just that
he would have heard it. So the judge said, if
we need a verdict on all five counts, so don't
tell us what you've decided on the other go away again.
How long have they been deliberating for and only sort
of a day and a bit, So the defense was
really saying, give them more time, let them go back,
(03:35):
let them have a think, what's the rush, whereas the
prosecution was saying, I should get on with it. Let's
let's sort of see what's happening. So they will begin
deliberations again at nine am New York time, which is
the middle of the night our time, so we could
wake up to a verdict in the morning or this
could drag on.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
When you say it could drag on, is there do
we get to a point where it no longer drags
only what happens if that is, do not get to
a decision on that fifth channel.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
At this stage, both the prosecution and the defense said
they would not accept a partial verdic i e. Before
they've decided on and not having a verdict on this one.
So what is likely to happen is they will come
back with a verdict and then it'll be up to
the prosecution whether they're happy with it or whether they appeal.
(04:26):
They really are gunning for this racketeering conspiracy or grieca
it's called in the States. They really want to get
that one up. But maybe if the other four come
back guilty, they might be happy.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
We don't know, because I mean with like the sex
trafficking charge for example, I'm reading that's that's a minimum
fifteen years maximum life in prison, so it's huge scale there.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Yes, it's the rico charge that gets manned that.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
