Speaker 1 (00:02):
I'm a homegirl that knows a little bit about everything
and everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
You know, if you don't lie about that, right, Lauren
can't even.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Hey, guys, what's up. It's Laura l Rosa. This is
the Latest with Lauren l Rosa. This is your daily
dig into pop culture, news, everything that's going down, but
the conversations that shake the room. Baby, y'all know that
I'm the homeground. I know it's a bit about everything
and everybody. Now we're gonna check in real, real quick,
because I want to get to the fact that I
was outside in court in the rain telling baby PJ
(00:36):
or here, how you feeling, Taylor.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
I'm feeling gay feeling. I don't like this weather out here.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
But you know, so anytime I do these diddy updates
from court, even if I'm in here with Taylor recording
the podcast at the Breakfast Club studio, I wanted to
give this like, I feel like one of the things
that I miss about being in a newsroom is sometimes
you gotta do running gun style, which is running gun
style means you're on the street, you're reporting, you doing
what you need to do, You're figuring it out, whether
(01:03):
it doesn't matter nothing, matters. You're getting the story in.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
That is it.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
And that's exactly what I did yesterday. So today I
am feeling rejuvenated because I fell asleep in the midst
of watching the Met Gala last night.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
But I'm not tired. I'm excited.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
I you're not consistency, willing your drive to you know
you're gonna go.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Get the facts. It's no way I feel like it
did the court. So so Sean Colmb's Diddy.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Is on trial right now. His trial was actually happening.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Literally, if I was to walk maybe like ten fifteen
minutes from where I am majority of my day because
we're here at the Breakfast Club studio a lot of
the day, I would be remissed. I would not be
the person I say I am if I did not
end up there at least even if outside so't Oh
my god, it wasn't hectic because it was the first
(01:56):
day and a lot of times and I knew this.
I knew that a lot of times people don't show
up for jury selection because jury selection is very It's
like sitting in the boring class that you hate.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
It's very long. We were there from nine to like six,
six thirty. They start right away.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
It's like, I'm assuming it's like almost now like Jerry
duty where you're just waiting. Yes, it feels like Drey duty,
which is crazy because what you're watching is people arrived
to Dreey duty for the second time. So by the
time a jury selection is happening, the jury duty like
checking has already happened. They've sent you a questionnaire of
things that you have to answer and stuff like that
to be on the jury. But this is your first
(02:31):
time reporting back and now you know you like.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Now you're in it.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
So like they're going through the questionnaire, so we feel
like we're on Dery duty. We as the media that
are watching it, because you're literally watching them go through
all the drawers, like we went through over one hundred
people yesterday. And when I say we, I mean me
the other media all in several there shout out to
a lot of the media that I met, I met
Lisa Ever yesterday, I met Ava.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I'm gonna get what outlet is Eva from hold on.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
I want to look, I might mess up my lighting,
but I met I met so many journalists yesterday that
I was like, Yo, this is so fire. Ava Pittman
from News Nation. I met her yesterday. She was like
my roll dog. Yesterday we was out Me and Ava
yesterday was like because they weren't trying to let me
into the court, like the actual courtroom where Diddy was
yesterday and we was there. Oh yeah, he was there.
(03:19):
Diddy is very involved in his case, Like but what okay, so.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
What's he doing there?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Like I'm just saying, is there because he you know,
I mean he could.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Say no to Yeah, Diddy is fighting for his life
right now.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Girl, I.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Mean you so it doesn't work where he did, He's
just like no in a judge, it's like okay, it's
more so like you.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Know, we'll get into it. But I met a lot
of people. It was kind of hectic. It weren't.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
It wasn't hectic as far as like the lines were
crazy or anything like it will get once the witness
testimony start. But it was hectic in the sense of
like everything was so fast, and it was my first day,
so I didn't even know how to navigate like content,
so I didn't put too much pressure on myself.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I was like, oh yo, look, I'm going to just attend.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
I'm going to step out midway through whatever I'm hearing
or watching update the people, and then I'll go back
in there and just like be there for the rest
of the day just to fill it out. So it's
hectic because you don't really know what you're walking into.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Ain't in text forever, it's all. It literally was my
whole day.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
So I woke up yesterday for breakfast club at what
three forty five four o'clock guy here, did the full
day here, and then I went to the Diddy trialun
toil like six thirty.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Made it home by like eight nine o'clock.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Tried to I watched the met Gala, try to prep
some those for the day, and I fell asleep. Yeah,
so it's hectic as far as that. It just like
takes it consumes your whole day. But I'm feeling good.
I'm feeling really informed, and I like having a front
row like aspect into things.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
I think that is the easiest to report on.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
I stopped in my uber because I realized on the
way in there that I wasn't approved. Of course, you
can't take a cel phone in unless your actual court
inside news, and I'm going to figure out how to
get that because I need that.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
But so I stopped at FedEx and got.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
You know, just this Cambridge notebook, which I'm going to
be taking notesen for the remainder of trial. I'm won't
need some more because yesterday I took notes up until
like this point yesterday, just from yesterday, and I only
got this left, and we.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Got eight weeks of trial left. Because you just.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Never know what's going to make sense at what point
in time. And I have everything listed by like drawer number.
I put the date on everything.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
She show like, yeah, say eight to ten pages back,
front and back.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Yeah anymore, yeah, yeah, eight to ten pages.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
And it's very detailed because you just never know, like
something might come up later where you're like, oh, I
made notes on that, and then you go back. It's
really like a case study, which it's so weird because
when I was in high school, my mom used to
always tell me to go to school for law and.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
I can do anything I wanted with that.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
I was a leegual administrative assistant at my votech school,
so I've always enjoyed like case studies. That's why I
was like a marketing major, because you get to dive
into cases and break things down and analyze it.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
But yesterday, I was sitting in that courtroom and I'm.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Like, oh, I do enjoy this. By like four o'clock
I was, I was like, nothing out. I was falling asleep.
But yeah, so I'm good. I'm in a good space.
I want to get into the latest and I've been
trying to figure out, because we will be talking about
this on the Breakfast Club of course as well, how
to Angley hear for the podcast listeners and viewers, so
(06:19):
that is different, so that they get a little bit more.
And I think the best thing is to just kind
of open it up, like I would love to know
what you want to know from me, Like what are
your thoughts when you think of when you think of Diddy?
You know in court for the first time you asked me,
was he there? Yes, he was there, very involved in
his case.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Okay, when you say involved as in just watching who
they're picking, I mean when I say involved, I mean
so Diddy was in.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
He was in a blue crew.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Neck like sweater that he pulled over, a white button
up blue slacks. He had reading glasses heat that he
would put on and take off. As a drawer was
coming in. You could see him pulling up the drawers
profile on the tablet and just reading through different things.
As the drawers were like, you know, different things were revealed, like,
for instance, there was one drawer that got on a
(07:08):
stand and said, Okay, so the last time I talked
to y'all, you know, because once you're sequestered as a drawer,
you can't talk to anybody about the case, not even
your wife, not even your husband. Right, So there's a
quester that can't talk to their significant others or anybody
in their family, or anybody about the fact that they're
on this ditty case. One man got up and this
man was like, listen, since the last time I saw y'all.
(07:28):
And I answered that note she didn't told y'all that
nobody knows I'm here, and like, I have no you know,
conflicting things in relation to this case. He said, my
wife found out that I was on this case, and
she came to me. His wife is an attorney and said,
I was one of the attorneys that was on the
case when puff had the incident back at Howard. Remember
(07:48):
that party that was a part of a documentary where
people got stampeded and then people passed away. When was
that It was a long, long, long, long time ago.
Like when I said it was a long time ago,
it was a long time ago. But it was the
center of one of the Diddy documentaries I has. You know,
there's been all these documentaries over the last year, and
it basically made that documentary made him out to be
a monster who just has no regard for human life
(08:10):
and you know, all these things. So the man was like, look,
my wife came to me and said, hey, I know
you're on the Diddy trial. He revealed how he knew,
which also told on another witness. He said, I wanted
to found out right.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
One of the.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Witnesses told their husband, I don't like him. He's a
horrible person. When I prosecuted or when I litigated that
whole party incident where people were stampeded, when people got
ran over and they passed away, I didn't like his
regard for human life. I thought he was a horrible person.
(08:42):
And he specifically said his actions were disgusting. He said,
my wife found him. And this is why I take notes,
because I wrote down the quotes he said, because the
judge asked him. Because because basically he was like, look,
I'm here and I'm telling you all the truth, so I.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Could still be a durer.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
I can still do this like it's not going to
impact the way I think about this case at all.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
But the judge had to dig deeper.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
The judge asked him, well, what did your wife say,
because he said, my wife said negative things when she
found out that I was on his case. So he said,
my wife found out. My wife found his behavior to
be disturbing and she does not like him. That drawer
potential drawer was excused, and I said, excuse that means
that you're not able to because so the prosecutors weren't
(09:23):
really tripping off that. The judge was like, oh, the
judge is very leaning, he's super fair. He was like,
what do y'all think. Mark Agnefilio, who was did his attorney,
was like, no, for him to say my wife does
not like him, that is a very definite feeling. And
I'm just nervous that that may have spilled over run
to the husband. No, not happening. But I was thinking, Yo,
(09:45):
how small is the world and how crazy is that?
And I really was looking at puff and I'm like,
I wonder how he feels to have that come back
up again after all these years and not just in
the documentary, but you're sitting in front of this man
whose wife prosecuted you at that time, and he was young.
This was a long time ago when that happened, prosecuted
you at that time, you had a party. People were
not protected in a way that they should have been,
(10:06):
and people died because of that. And now you're sitting
here and it's come back up again while you're fighting
for your life.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Yeah, and good for him for being honest one, Like,
I feel like a lot of people aren't honest.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
So it's interesting that he even says something. Yeah. And
in the courtroom, when did he walked out?
Speaker 1 (10:25):
I mean just seeing him, because I've seen Diddy in
person a few times and you know, things of that nature,
but like just seeing him when he walked out into
the court, it like instantly it was just like, oh wow,
this is really real. He looks he very much gray hair,
(10:46):
some black, but very much gray hair. He's a lot skinnier.
He looks like puffed from like the nineties where he
was like skinny and like slim. I'm not as skinny though,
but a lot skinnier. You can almost you can catch
how you can catch his height more because he's slimmer.
I feel like when he was like, you know, filed
out a little bit, you didn't really he didn't come
off as tall a little bit more.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
But like even when he.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Was sitting next to his attorneys, I'm like, you can
catch his height a bit more because his body is
slimmed down. His face is very like gray pale, because
he's been you know, behind bars all this time. He
just I mean, he looks his age for sure. I
want to say he looks stressed, but I don't even
think it's that. I just think it's just different than
how I'm used to seeing him. Yeah, And I think
(11:28):
for me, it really hit me.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Then.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I'm like, reporting on this is one thing, but to
see him walk into that courtroom and to see how
he looks, I was like, man, and I just started
thinking about all these things, and I actually wrote him
down because I was like, in real time, I really
want to like be able to like document, not that
it's about me at all, but just be able to
document like what I was feeling and seeing him.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
And one of the.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Things I thought about is like I wonder if he
because he's in New York, he's in this trial we're
here all day long. His daughter Chance, his daughter Chase.
Is he chased a chance? I believe he's Chase Chance,
hold on Chance.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
His daughter Chance is literally right up the street at NYU.
She goes to NYU. His other kids are you know, La,
I was thinking about the girls. I was thinking about
so much because I was looking around to say any
family was There was no one that I recognized. And
I was like, I wonder if he feels like he
felt like I wonder after all of the success and
after all of these heights, if he feels like he's
(12:29):
failed because he is sitting here devoting all of his
day to this.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
And you could tell that he was nervous.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
At one point I mentioned his twins birthdays and he
missed that and yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
And his rapport where his attorneys were it was amazing.
I was shocked to see it. He was laughing with them,
and you know, he was very When I say involved,
I mean like when certain things would happen on the stand,
like when this guy revealed that his wife was one
of the attorneys who litigated in that whole like party
incident where Puff was like, you know what I mean,
all that the whole all of us was like because
(13:02):
it was like, oh, shoot, what are coincident said? This
has coming back up right now? Right even then when
when that happened, I saw him smile and I and
I feel like because because there was another time too,
they kept bringing up the HBCU HBCU, the HBO documentary
that was like horrible that that document tore him to shreds.
I saw him look over at his attorney and like
and like nod his head at that point too.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
And his attorney made it, probably made it. He probably
probably prepped him saying like they're going to bring this up.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
I don't think that they knew that that HBO documentary
would come up, because the attorney, Mark Agnafilio, did a
really good job of like pressing a judge on, like,
look when we because they do the drawer, the drawer
interviews separately, so we go, we went through each of
those people. It was so many damn people separately, right,
and then they bring them back in a group, so
that his attorney kept saying to the judge when the
(13:52):
group comes in, basically, I don't want to poison their mind.
I don't want to bring up that HBO documententary in
front of a group of drawers who might not have
seen it, because then we got to go through what
it talked about all of that stuff. But I think
there are certain points that they're going to get to
in the case that the and he mentioned this to
that the HBO dot is a part of number one,
(14:13):
how they were going to strike that witness like and
strike means like object to the witness being on a jelry.
But just bringing up like how social media and the
media has impacted this case, which was also a big
point too. Majority of these drawers even if they had
never because there were a lot of people who I
believe them too, because you know, just I just I
believe them who had never heard of puff because of
(14:34):
the life that they lived, their older you know, they
never There was like an older white lady who had
no idea, she thought, Michael, because in the in the questionnaire,
they ask you are people in places right? So they
want I guess they want to identify how close a
celebrity you are one of.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
There was this older white lady. She was such a
god bless her heart.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
She came on to staying and they were asking her
because she identified that she might have known one of
the people on the people in places list. She was
talking about Michael B. Jordan, and she said, is that
the basketball player Michael Jordan. She really had no idea.
I mean, that's different, But she said that she really
didn't know. But because a lot of them admitted to
(15:13):
that since they had received the jury questioning and for
about the case that they'll be on, they'd begin to
see headlines that they weren't really paying attention to before
because they had to tell like they had to let
the judge know that that was a thing because if
had come back up in court, you could you know
what I mean, Like, well that lady who was a
durer who then went told her husband she's gonna get
(15:34):
in trouble. So yeah, I was thinking about all that stuff. Like, Yo,
his time and his days are so different. Now, can
you retell what he's gonna try for?
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (15:45):
So, currently he is being charged on five different counts.
The counts include charges spanning from sex trafficking, rocketeer, conspiracy,
and transporting to engage in prostitution.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
There's arson that is a conversation and Puff has played.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Not guilty to all of these charges, and he also
turned down to plea deal as well. And one of
the things that they discuss and I'm gonna leave it here.
I'm not gonna get into this. They mentioned in the
court yesterday that Cassie video probably will not be.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Used in court.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
They're probably gonna use the Castie video. But I have
a question about like did they they did pay like
some jerorsale, No, no, no, not yet.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
So what they do is is so no, no drawers
will picked yesterday. It'll take a week. It'll take a
week because they want to go through everybody, like they
have a whole pool of people that potentially are able
to be drawors. They go through everybody, they get, they
get they ask tons of questions because they want to
know your motive, like why do you think you could
(16:45):
do this? Do you have any conflicting ties to the case,
any conflicting ties to puff?
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Are you a fan or not?
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Can you make a sound decision if you know if
all of the above, or can you not. It gives
Diddy's team a chance to be like, nah, we don't
want this drawer because of ABC and d It gives
the prosecutors a chance to be like, nah, we don't
want this joy because of ABC and D. It also
gives you a chance to kind of like think about
how you speak to your audience or to the jeury
because they do these group interviews where they find out
(17:11):
who you are, where you're from, do you have spouses,
what music did you listen to?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Like that whole thing.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
It's really like a It's almost like when you do
a brand identity kit for a business, Like you get
to really get into the crevices of it, and then
you pick those twelve people and then that's who you're
speaking to the whole time. So Monday to twelfth, the
judge said that that's playing Monday to twelfth. He wants
opening statements to start, so this will be going on
all week because they got a narrow it down.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Do you think it's ideal or the people you saw
it was a good combination of different races.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Oh yeah, one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
It was very much a different combination of different races,
different ages, different Like I was even like there were
some black girls on the in the selection that I
was like, oh, they definitely did the fans it's no way.
And then they got on like the group inner and
they were like, I don't even listen to music like,
and I'm like.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
You don't think something are lying though, I.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Think you have to know who he is for sure,
but to say that you're a fan where it's like,
oh my god, Oh my god, Diddy, oh my god.
And there was somebody in the courthouse to first go
around when I was not in the actual court, I
was in the overflow room. I was told that somebody
was in there with a free puff shirt on, and
they made them turning around.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Because the public can join too. The public can just
come while they so they went pro the juror they
just no people.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
I met a woman yesterday who works for the MTA
who She's not a journalist or anything like that. She's
just a person of the public who just wanted to come.
You know, she has her own reasons, but she just
wanted to come. So we're gonna be breaking this down
more y'all as the week's go on. I just kind
of wanted to give y'all a gist of what my
day was like yesterday, all the stuff I saw, tweet
me and ask me questions. I feel like with this
(18:51):
did he trial, I don't just want to like throw
everything at you guys. I really want to be able
to answer your question from my handed Danny notebook. Tweet
me at Laura L. The Roe's Instagram Laura L. Rosa
Low Riders, Thank y'all for being right here with me.
I was out there and rain yesterday. Okay, well and

Friday again. So yeah, it's the latest with Lauryna Rosa.
(19:13):
I'm your host, Laurren l Rosa, the homegirl that knows
a bit about everything and everybody. We didn't get to
all the segments today because we just had to, like,
you know, do what we do. Eli's here, he's on
the pod.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Say hi to the podcast, Say hi to the podcast.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
I'm hopping out of here because I gotta go finish
Breakfast Club. I'll see you guys in my next episode.
I'm a homegirl that knows a little bit about everything
and everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
You know, if you don't lie about that, right, Lauren
can't even.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Hey, guys, what's up. It's Laura l Rosa. This is
the Latest with Lauren l Rosa. This is your daily
dig into pop culture, news, everything that's going down, but
the conversations that shake the room. Baby, y'all know that
I'm the homeground. I know it's a bit about everything
and everybody. Now we're gonna check in real, real quick,
because I want to get to the fact that I
was outside in court in the rain telling baby PJ
(00:36):
or here, how you feeling, Taylor.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
I'm feeling gay feeling. I don't like this weather out here.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
But you know, so anytime I do these diddy updates
from court, even if I'm in here with Taylor recording
the podcast at the Breakfast Club studio, I wanted to
give this like, I feel like one of the things
that I miss about being in a newsroom is sometimes
you gotta do running gun style, which is running gun
style means you're on the street, you're reporting, you doing
what you need to do, You're figuring it out, whether
(01:03):
it doesn't matter nothing, matters. You're getting the story in.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
That is it.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
And that's exactly what I did yesterday. So today I
am feeling rejuvenated because I fell asleep in the midst
of watching the Met Gala last night.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
But I'm not tired. I'm excited.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
I you're not consistency, willing your drive to you know
you're gonna go.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Get the facts. It's no way I feel like it
did the court. So so Sean Colmb's Diddy.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Is on trial right now. His trial was actually happening.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Literally, if I was to walk maybe like ten fifteen
minutes from where I am majority of my day because
we're here at the Breakfast Club studio a lot of
the day, I would be remissed. I would not be
the person I say I am if I did not
end up there at least even if outside so't Oh
my god, it wasn't hectic because it was the first
(01:56):
day and a lot of times and I knew this.
I knew that a lot of times people don't show
up for jury selection because jury selection is very It's
like sitting in the boring class that you hate.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
It's very long. We were there from nine to like six,
six thirty. They start right away.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
It's like, I'm assuming it's like almost now like Jerry
duty where you're just waiting. Yes, it feels like Drey duty,
which is crazy because what you're watching is people arrived
to Dreey duty for the second time. So by the
time a jury selection is happening, the jury duty like
checking has already happened. They've sent you a questionnaire of
things that you have to answer and stuff like that
to be on the jury. But this is your first
(02:31):
time reporting back and now you know you like.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Now you're in it.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
So like they're going through the questionnaire, so we feel
like we're on Dery duty. We as the media that
are watching it, because you're literally watching them go through
all the drawers, like we went through over one hundred
people yesterday. And when I say we, I mean me
the other media all in several there shout out to
a lot of the media that I met, I met
Lisa Ever yesterday, I met Ava.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I'm gonna get what outlet is Eva from hold on.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
I want to look, I might mess up my lighting,
but I met I met so many journalists yesterday that
I was like, Yo, this is so fire. Ava Pittman
from News Nation. I met her yesterday. She was like
my roll dog. Yesterday we was out Me and Ava
yesterday was like because they weren't trying to let me
into the court, like the actual courtroom where Diddy was
yesterday and we was there. Oh yeah, he was there.
(03:19):
Diddy is very involved in his case, Like but what okay, so.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
What's he doing there?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Like I'm just saying, is there because he you know,
I mean he could.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Say no to Yeah, Diddy is fighting for his life
right now.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Girl, I.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Mean you so it doesn't work where he did, He's
just like no in a judge, it's like okay, it's
more so like you.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Know, we'll get into it. But I met a lot
of people. It was kind of hectic. It weren't.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
It wasn't hectic as far as like the lines were
crazy or anything like it will get once the witness
testimony start. But it was hectic in the sense of
like everything was so fast, and it was my first day,
so I didn't even know how to navigate like content,
so I didn't put too much pressure on myself.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I was like, oh yo, look, I'm going to just attend.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
I'm going to step out midway through whatever I'm hearing
or watching update the people, and then I'll go back
in there and just like be there for the rest
of the day just to fill it out. So it's
hectic because you don't really know what you're walking into.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Ain't in text forever, it's all. It literally was my
whole day.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
So I woke up yesterday for breakfast club at what
three forty five four o'clock guy here, did the full
day here, and then I went to the Diddy trialun
toil like six thirty.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Made it home by like eight nine o'clock.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Tried to I watched the met Gala, try to prep
some those for the day, and I fell asleep. Yeah,
so it's hectic as far as that. It just like
takes it consumes your whole day. But I'm feeling good.
I'm feeling really informed, and I like having a front
row like aspect into things.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
I think that is the easiest to report on.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
I stopped in my uber because I realized on the
way in there that I wasn't approved. Of course, you
can't take a cel phone in unless your actual court
inside news, and I'm going to figure out how to
get that because I need that.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
But so I stopped at FedEx and got.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
You know, just this Cambridge notebook, which I'm going to
be taking notesen for the remainder of trial. I'm won't
need some more because yesterday I took notes up until
like this point yesterday, just from yesterday, and I only
got this left, and we.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Got eight weeks of trial left. Because you just.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Never know what's going to make sense at what point
in time. And I have everything listed by like drawer number.
I put the date on everything.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
She show like, yeah, say eight to ten pages back,
front and back.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Yeah anymore, yeah, yeah, eight to ten pages.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
And it's very detailed because you just never know, like
something might come up later where you're like, oh, I
made notes on that, and then you go back. It's
really like a case study, which it's so weird because
when I was in high school, my mom used to
always tell me to go to school for law and.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
I can do anything I wanted with that.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
I was a leegual administrative assistant at my votech school,
so I've always enjoyed like case studies. That's why I
was like a marketing major, because you get to dive
into cases and break things down and analyze it.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
But yesterday, I was sitting in that courtroom and I'm.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Like, oh, I do enjoy this. By like four o'clock
I was, I was like, nothing out. I was falling asleep.
But yeah, so I'm good. I'm in a good space.
I want to get into the latest and I've been
trying to figure out, because we will be talking about
this on the Breakfast Club of course as well, how
to Angley hear for the podcast listeners and viewers, so
(06:19):
that is different, so that they get a little bit more.
And I think the best thing is to just kind
of open it up, like I would love to know
what you want to know from me, Like what are
your thoughts when you think of when you think of Diddy?
You know in court for the first time you asked me,
was he there? Yes, he was there, very involved in
his case.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Okay, when you say involved as in just watching who
they're picking, I mean when I say involved, I mean
so Diddy was in.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
He was in a blue crew.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Neck like sweater that he pulled over, a white button
up blue slacks. He had reading glasses heat that he
would put on and take off. As a drawer was
coming in. You could see him pulling up the drawers
profile on the tablet and just reading through different things.
As the drawers were like, you know, different things were revealed, like,
for instance, there was one drawer that got on a
(07:08):
stand and said, Okay, so the last time I talked
to y'all, you know, because once you're sequestered as a drawer,
you can't talk to anybody about the case, not even
your wife, not even your husband. Right, So there's a
quester that can't talk to their significant others or anybody
in their family, or anybody about the fact that they're
on this ditty case. One man got up and this
man was like, listen, since the last time I saw y'all.
(07:28):
And I answered that note she didn't told y'all that
nobody knows I'm here, and like, I have no you know,
conflicting things in relation to this case. He said, my
wife found out that I was on this case, and
she came to me. His wife is an attorney and said,
I was one of the attorneys that was on the
case when puff had the incident back at Howard. Remember
(07:48):
that party that was a part of a documentary where
people got stampeded and then people passed away. When was
that It was a long, long, long, long time ago.
Like when I said it was a long time ago,
it was a long time ago. But it was the
center of one of the Diddy documentaries I has. You know,
there's been all these documentaries over the last year, and
it basically made that documentary made him out to be
a monster who just has no regard for human life
(08:10):
and you know, all these things. So the man was like, look,
my wife came to me and said, hey, I know
you're on the Diddy trial. He revealed how he knew,
which also told on another witness. He said, I wanted
to found out right.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
One of the.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Witnesses told their husband, I don't like him. He's a
horrible person. When I prosecuted or when I litigated that
whole party incident where people were stampeded, when people got
ran over and they passed away, I didn't like his
regard for human life. I thought he was a horrible person.
(08:42):
And he specifically said his actions were disgusting. He said,
my wife found him. And this is why I take notes,
because I wrote down the quotes he said, because the
judge asked him. Because because basically he was like, look,
I'm here and I'm telling you all the truth, so I.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Could still be a durer.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
I can still do this like it's not going to
impact the way I think about this case at all.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
But the judge had to dig deeper.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
The judge asked him, well, what did your wife say,
because he said, my wife said negative things when she
found out that I was on his case. So he said,
my wife found out. My wife found his behavior to
be disturbing and she does not like him. That drawer
potential drawer was excused, and I said, excuse that means
that you're not able to because so the prosecutors weren't
(09:23):
really tripping off that. The judge was like, oh, the
judge is very leaning, he's super fair. He was like,
what do y'all think. Mark Agnefilio, who was did his attorney,
was like, no, for him to say my wife does
not like him, that is a very definite feeling. And
I'm just nervous that that may have spilled over run
to the husband. No, not happening. But I was thinking, Yo,
(09:45):
how small is the world and how crazy is that?
And I really was looking at puff and I'm like,
I wonder how he feels to have that come back
up again after all these years and not just in
the documentary, but you're sitting in front of this man
whose wife prosecuted you at that time, and he was young.
This was a long time ago when that happened, prosecuted
you at that time, you had a party. People were
not protected in a way that they should have been,
(10:06):
and people died because of that. And now you're sitting
here and it's come back up again while you're fighting
for your life.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Yeah, and good for him for being honest one, Like,
I feel like a lot of people aren't honest.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
So it's interesting that he even says something. Yeah. And
in the courtroom, when did he walked out?
Speaker 1 (10:25):
I mean just seeing him, because I've seen Diddy in
person a few times and you know, things of that nature,
but like just seeing him when he walked out into
the court, it like instantly it was just like, oh wow,
this is really real. He looks he very much gray hair,
(10:46):
some black, but very much gray hair. He's a lot skinnier.
He looks like puffed from like the nineties where he
was like skinny and like slim. I'm not as skinny though,
but a lot skinnier. You can almost you can catch
how you can catch his height more because he's slimmer.
I feel like when he was like, you know, filed
out a little bit, you didn't really he didn't come
off as tall a little bit more.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
But like even when he.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Was sitting next to his attorneys, I'm like, you can
catch his height a bit more because his body is
slimmed down. His face is very like gray pale, because
he's been you know, behind bars all this time. He
just I mean, he looks his age for sure. I
want to say he looks stressed, but I don't even
think it's that. I just think it's just different than
how I'm used to seeing him. Yeah, And I think
(11:28):
for me, it really hit me.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Then.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I'm like, reporting on this is one thing, but to
see him walk into that courtroom and to see how
he looks, I was like, man, and I just started
thinking about all these things, and I actually wrote him
down because I was like, in real time, I really
want to like be able to like document, not that
it's about me at all, but just be able to
document like what I was feeling and seeing him.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
And one of the.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Things I thought about is like I wonder if he
because he's in New York, he's in this trial we're
here all day long. His daughter Chance, his daughter Chase.
Is he chased a chance? I believe he's Chase Chance,
hold on Chance.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
His daughter Chance is literally right up the street at NYU.
She goes to NYU. His other kids are you know, La,
I was thinking about the girls. I was thinking about
so much because I was looking around to say any
family was There was no one that I recognized. And
I was like, I wonder if he feels like he
felt like I wonder after all of the success and
after all of these heights, if he feels like he's
(12:29):
failed because he is sitting here devoting all of his
day to this.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
And you could tell that he was nervous.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
At one point I mentioned his twins birthdays and he
missed that and yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
And his rapport where his attorneys were it was amazing.
I was shocked to see it. He was laughing with them,
and you know, he was very When I say involved,
I mean like when certain things would happen on the stand,
like when this guy revealed that his wife was one
of the attorneys who litigated in that whole like party
incident where Puff was like, you know what I mean,
all that the whole all of us was like because
(13:02):
it was like, oh, shoot, what are coincident said? This
has coming back up right now? Right even then when
when that happened, I saw him smile and I and
I feel like because because there was another time too,
they kept bringing up the HBCU HBCU, the HBO documentary
that was like horrible that that document tore him to shreds.
I saw him look over at his attorney and like
and like nod his head at that point too.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
And his attorney made it, probably made it. He probably
probably prepped him saying like they're going to bring this up.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
I don't think that they knew that that HBO documentary
would come up, because the attorney, Mark Agnafilio, did a
really good job of like pressing a judge on, like,
look when we because they do the drawer, the drawer
interviews separately, so we go, we went through each of
those people. It was so many damn people separately, right,
and then they bring them back in a group, so
that his attorney kept saying to the judge when the
(13:52):
group comes in, basically, I don't want to poison their mind.
I don't want to bring up that HBO documententary in
front of a group of drawers who might not have
seen it, because then we got to go through what
it talked about all of that stuff. But I think
there are certain points that they're going to get to
in the case that the and he mentioned this to
that the HBO dot is a part of number one,
(14:13):
how they were going to strike that witness like and
strike means like object to the witness being on a jelry.
But just bringing up like how social media and the
media has impacted this case, which was also a big
point too. Majority of these drawers even if they had
never because there were a lot of people who I
believe them too, because you know, just I just I
believe them who had never heard of puff because of
(14:34):
the life that they lived, their older you know, they
never There was like an older white lady who had
no idea, she thought, Michael, because in the in the questionnaire,
they ask you are people in places right? So they
want I guess they want to identify how close a
celebrity you are one of.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
There was this older white lady. She was such a
god bless her heart.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
She came on to staying and they were asking her
because she identified that she might have known one of
the people on the people in places list. She was
talking about Michael B. Jordan, and she said, is that
the basketball player Michael Jordan. She really had no idea.
I mean, that's different, But she said that she really
didn't know. But because a lot of them admitted to
(15:13):
that since they had received the jury questioning and for
about the case that they'll be on, they'd begin to
see headlines that they weren't really paying attention to before
because they had to tell like they had to let
the judge know that that was a thing because if
had come back up in court, you could you know
what I mean, Like, well that lady who was a
durer who then went told her husband she's gonna get
(15:34):
in trouble. So yeah, I was thinking about all that stuff. Like, Yo,
his time and his days are so different. Now, can
you retell what he's gonna try for?
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (15:45):
So, currently he is being charged on five different counts.
The counts include charges spanning from sex trafficking, rocketeer, conspiracy,
and transporting to engage in prostitution.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
There's arson that is a conversation and Puff has played.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Not guilty to all of these charges, and he also
turned down to plea deal as well. And one of
the things that they discuss and I'm gonna leave it here.
I'm not gonna get into this. They mentioned in the
court yesterday that Cassie video probably will not be.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Used in court.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
They're probably gonna use the Castie video. But I have
a question about like did they they did pay like
some jerorsale, No, no, no, not yet.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
So what they do is is so no, no drawers
will picked yesterday. It'll take a week. It'll take a
week because they want to go through everybody, like they
have a whole pool of people that potentially are able
to be drawors. They go through everybody, they get, they
get they ask tons of questions because they want to
know your motive, like why do you think you could
(16:45):
do this? Do you have any conflicting ties to the case,
any conflicting ties to puff?
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Are you a fan or not?
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Can you make a sound decision if you know if
all of the above, or can you not. It gives
Diddy's team a chance to be like, nah, we don't
want this drawer because of ABC and d It gives
the prosecutors a chance to be like, nah, we don't
want this joy because of ABC and D. It also
gives you a chance to kind of like think about
how you speak to your audience or to the jeury
because they do these group interviews where they find out
(17:11):
who you are, where you're from, do you have spouses,
what music did you listen to?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Like that whole thing.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
It's really like a It's almost like when you do
a brand identity kit for a business, Like you get
to really get into the crevices of it, and then
you pick those twelve people and then that's who you're
speaking to the whole time. So Monday to twelfth, the
judge said that that's playing Monday to twelfth. He wants
opening statements to start, so this will be going on
all week because they got a narrow it down.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Do you think it's ideal or the people you saw
it was a good combination of different races.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Oh yeah, one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
It was very much a different combination of different races,
different ages, different Like I was even like there were
some black girls on the in the selection that I
was like, oh, they definitely did the fans it's no way.
And then they got on like the group inner and
they were like, I don't even listen to music like,
and I'm like.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
You don't think something are lying though, I.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Think you have to know who he is for sure,
but to say that you're a fan where it's like,
oh my god, Oh my god, Diddy, oh my god.
And there was somebody in the courthouse to first go
around when I was not in the actual court, I
was in the overflow room. I was told that somebody
was in there with a free puff shirt on, and
they made them turning around.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Because the public can join too. The public can just
come while they so they went pro the juror they
just no people.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
I met a woman yesterday who works for the MTA
who She's not a journalist or anything like that. She's
just a person of the public who just wanted to come.
You know, she has her own reasons, but she just
wanted to come. So we're gonna be breaking this down
more y'all as the week's go on. I just kind
of wanted to give y'all a gist of what my
day was like yesterday, all the stuff I saw, tweet
