how dangerous really is Diddy now he's been denied bill twice we know by two different judges this week his legal team by the way submitted a notice of appeal to the US District Court trying to reverse those rulings and get him out he's being held in federal jail the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center and he maintains his innocence during his third attempt at getting bail Diddy's Behavior reportedly angered the presiding judge his attitude was perceived as dismissing and arrogant prompting a Stern response the judge reminded him of the seriousness of the accusations which involve significant criminal
allegations like trafficking despite Diddy's high-profile status the court expects appropriate decorum could Diddy's Behavior be worsening his situation welcome back to CT TV live We are following new developments in the case of the hip hop mogul who is facing Rico charges in New York Sean P didy Colmes Court TV has just confirmed that the family of Tupac Shakur is investigating a potential link between the murder of Tupac and sha Diddy col on Thursday a court notice revealed that Diddy's case was reassigned to judge Aon subramanian Who was appointed by President Joe Biden in 2022 and
took his position in 2023 sub Romanian previously worked at the law firm susman Godfrey specializing in complex civil litigation and earlier served as a clerk for Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg no reason for the judge reassignment was provided comes' case was initially assigned to Judge Andrew Carter nominated by President Obama in 2011 say that anybody did any of these things non-consensually what what do you make of that I make of that as being a big flaw already in the government's case which the defense was quick to point out um even if he was engaging
in this alleged conduct there was no allegation and or No statement in indictment saying that any of these alleged victims or alleged Witnesses willingly participated in some of these acts that people find offensive that are sound to be offensive and that's a very important part of the case what was the consent but there are enough charges here where uh outside of what the alleged victims are going to say about how he was using the resources allegedly from his Enterprises his businesses his well-known Bad Boy Entertainment um his clothing line resources his liquor line resources allegedly
there were funds used from the resources to engage in this alleged prose um prostitution activity across state lines and that's why it's a federal case because it's across straight line so there are some problems that are the defense has brought up originally but it seems like just from reading this 14-page indictment Carter denied com's bail due to concerns over witness tampering and violence prompting comes to appeal the decision so the office of the southern district of New York seems awfully confident about their ability to handle the scope and complexity of the case but still why
do you think it took them so long for them to go after Combs considering they alleged as crimes have been going on for more than a decade my theory is that the government had an easy time putting together this final prosecution because of all the Civil actions existing against Shan Colmes right now the case with Cassie which which that video was shown his former girlfriend where he was seen assaulting her it looked like certainly that he was assaulting her on video I think the the government and investigators were able to accumulate all this easy evidence
that was just handed to them Diddy's thirdd attempt at securing bail was met with strong resistance from the judge who cited serious concerns over the accusations against him including witness tampering and potential threats breaking news and you heard it here first so could third time be a charm Diddy is assembling his legal dream team for a new bell attempt this will be his third attempt so Diddy is once again trying to get himself released on bond two weeks after he was arrested and we're told he's building a Powerhouse legal team to try and make it
a reality well new court documents show the rat mogul's lawyer filed to appeal the most recent order denying him Bond so the appeal will be his third formal attempt to secure his release from behind bars as he awaits trial well sources close to Diddy uh tell TMZ that the rapper has added two more attorneys Anthony Rico and Alexander Shapiro to the legal team working on his highly publicized criminal case and for those of you wondering Alexandria is not related to the fame defense attorney Robert Shapiro and we're told Tony is known as one of the
finest trial lawyers in the country and Alexandria has been called one of the best appellant lawyers practicing today his legal team argued that he posed no risk but the judge remained firm referencing the severity of the charges and the potential risk of interference with the case so it sounds like Diddy is building his own dream team of sorts so Diddy has been denied Bell and despite the A- lister's attorney promising Diddy would put up a $50 million Bell package and have no female visitors outside of his family if the court allowed him to reside in
his Miami home pending the trial however after hearing arguments from both the prosecution and the Defense US District Judge Andrew Carter turned down Diddy's request for Bell and stated the government has proven the fendant is a danger ah he is and we all know it so I just can't wait till they literally throw him in prison forever anyway I'm Pina and this is awesome news in discussing the case Sherry Shepard highlighted the complexity of filtering through the numerous allegations courts face the challenge of distinguishing credible accusations from possible Fabrications this process is essential before moving
forward with any legal actions Shepherd's Insight reveals how media and public perception can blur these lines do you think all allegations will be treaty is facing over 100 lawsuits a staggering number of claims ranging from physical misconduct to trafficking these lawsuits have piled up making it one of the most significant legal challenges in entertainment history the sheer volume of cases against him could influence both public perception and the severity of any eventual legal repercussions and as if things couldn't get any worse for battled music mogul sha D comes today a prominent lawyer came forward saying
he intends to vile more than 100 different lawsuits from alleged victims claims we intend to bring will include the following violent sexual assault or rape sexual abuse facilitated sex with a controlled substance false imprisonment compelling prostitution sexual misconduct dissemination of video recordings false imprisonment sexual abuse of minors Ariel Mitchell a lawyer representing one of Diddy's accusers has strongly hinted that more charges against the rapper are on the way Mitchell suggested that indictments were inevitable adding weight to the ongoing investigations with claims of trafficking and mistreatment spanning years Mitchell's statements reflect the gravity of what could
befall the music mul so let me ask you this before we even get into anything else why bring this lawsuit now and does it have anything to do with the F the potential federal investigation happening right now so we brought our lawsuit because my client was injured by Mr Colmes and she had been seeking a counsel for some time now she actually sought out Council who we all know have cases um including Cassie's lawyers and some other lawyers prior to seeking me out uh just looking for representation for her claims it just so happened to
be that now we're at a place where it's essentially inevitable that Mr Colmes will have some level of indictment and face some criminal charges for all of the cases we now know to be public information a federal investigator stated that the probe into Didi's activities was originally projected to conclude by the end of the year but recent developments have accelerated ated the timeline the nature of the accusations combined with growing evidence has hastened the investigation process possibly pushing Diddy toward a trial sooner than expected are you following the didy case at all when the raids
went down I was like oh they're working a large case I figured it would probably be before the end of the year but it was a little earlier than I thought what was he arrested for so the feds will take everything to a grand jury first and be like we've got all of this is it more likely that this person did the things we're saying or not Grand jurries indict almost everyone and then you can be arrested because you've been charged they brought him into court and he's got his hands behind his back like he's
cuffed and he goes to sit down and just takes his hands out and puts them on the table I'm like you're not even cuffed man the feds don't lose is that accurate the feds rarely lose they pick and choose their cases very carefully and then he was denied for bail twice it's not a surprise one of the charges has a no bail presumption it means the Assumption by the court is that you don't get bailed really it goes up to the defendant to prove that they deserve bail and they had all his phones Ted do
you think those calls will be released to the public not until this goes to trial you think it'll be televised like the Johnny Depp and Amber Her Tri sadly the feds do not allow audio or video recording in court but there's some great Independent Media Outlets that go to court and live tweet out what's happening there was something about like he was on suicide watch that's standard like every defendant it's not cuz he said something did something you talk about all this video tap I think there's a lot of speculation about who's next how is
the feds going to determine like who's just at a party does this speed up signal damning evidence versus people who are co-conspirators assuming everyone is an adult is it a bad look yes will the government probably want to talk to them and have a conversation about what they know yes where it goes from there depends on digital evidence if somebody's under the age of 18 it doesn't really matter what you knew or didn't know or thought or didn't thought my speculation and this is my speculation I imagine he used those videos to great effect to
stay out of trouble for so long do you think he is the biggest fish in this case I think he's one of them and in those civil lawsuits people have started naming other celebrities what are some of the names that have been named in the civil law us sure came up quite a lot who over the weekend we saw deleted hister entire Twitter now that seems stupid professionals have weighed in on the possible repercussions Diddy could face if convicted the trafficking and other serious charges he's up against carry the potential for life-altering consequences including long-term
imprisonment at this point we know that Diddy is charged with mainly three crimes we don't know how many counts yet but we discuss right Aran so now let's get down to the bottom of sex trafficking so when it comes to sex trafficking you have mainly three components the act the means and the purpose the ACT occurs when the trafficker recruits Harbors obtains or solicits a person to engage in commercial sex and Commercial sex has a very general definition it basically just means when sex is exchanged for some type of value now on to element number
two means remember in element one when we talked about the ACT they actually have to act on it they actually have to solicit the sexual activity element two means it's how they go about soliciting it they do it by force or fraud or coercion this can include threatening to harm someone physically or psychologically or even their reputation and the last element is purpose and purpose is the most straightforward one because the whole purpose of this is to engage in the sexual act with said person or people or group those are the elements that make up
sex trafficking the act the means the purpose and an element is like a key ingredient that you have to have in in order to achieve a certain outcome the implications of a guilty verdict are enormous as they would set a precedent in Celebrity legal battles over human trafficking if you don't have at least those three things I don't know what you baking but it ain't a cake so that's what elements are you have to have at least those three ingredients to get to sex trafficking if you don't have those three you don't have sex trafficking
and there's a big misconception that you have to transport or travel this person across state lines counting lines a border you can but you don't have to because we know the only three ingredients you need to get to sex trafficking is what the act the means and the purpose if you traveling with them too fine but you don't need that now let's switch gears a little bit and talk about present day now we all know and discussed in the last video that his bail was denied now let's talk about why did his attorney focused on
how he's not a Flight Risk he's going to turn over his passports he's selling his plane he'll wear a ankle monitor and stay in the home but the prosecutor's focused on obstruction of justice and that the issue wasn't about him leaving the issue was about if he's left out of jail he's going to continue to obstruct Justice the prosecutors put on evidence showing how he was contacting Witnesses contacting victims he was bribing them offering them some type of financial support if they did not cooperate with the government he was also threatening some victims to change
their story and based on the evidence that the judge heard he said you ain't going nowhere so let's talk about where Diddy is this is his new house the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn New York questions have been raised about whether Diddy will receive a fair trial given his celebrity status and the widespread media coverage legal experts argue that the pre-trial publicity could bias jurors despite efforts to remain impartial if Diddy is convicted it will be because the evidence proves his guilt but if acquitted it will be due to lack of proof do you think
his Fame will work for or against him in court the three overwhelming questions that we've been getting on our page is one will Diddy go to trial two will he get a fair trial and three will he testify one know number two will he get a fair trial Fair trial is kind of a legal misnomer don't forget you have this is as Fair of a trial as you're going to get but you have the United States of America with all the money power and resources going after one person I don't care if he's got a
billion dollars guess who's got more Uncle Sam and so to say is he going to get a fair trial and then number two when you're looking at a federal trial the second reason I say is the jury when you're picking a jury in the state system the jury is primarily picking picked from a pool of people those pool of people are selected based upon your DMV records so if you have a driver license anybody who's got a driver's license who over a specific age can serve on the jury if you ever been on the Jersey
Turnpike and got one of these double bangers when you cut somebody off you'll understand the state level jury is the Wild Wild West now when you go with the federal system that jury pool is selected from your voter registration and people will understand that's why everyone should go vote is these individuals tend to more civic-minded more conservative and more willing to do things to help the government that's the thought and if you don't believe me ask why the government has a 98% conviction rate Diddy also faces potential Rico racketeer influenced and corrupt organizations charges a
legal Avenue typically used to dismantle organized crime if applied the government could argue that Diddy's alleged illegal activities were part of a larger organized effort these charges add another layer of complexity to his defense and raise the stakes significantly how might this impact his defense moving forward and then finally the thing that scares me the most when dealing with a federal trial and this is with any trial you're not allowed to get into the prior bad act that somebody has committed you're not allowed to get into bad stuff they've done in the past usually why
can't you get into this stuff because we don't want a jury making a decision based upon things you have done in your past if you are on trial for burglary break breaking into somebody's house and you smoked some weed back in the 7th 8th nth grade you don't want the jury to hear about that because you don't want the jury to say if he'll lie he'll cheat if he'll cheat he'll steal if he'll steal he'll kill so you don't want this prior information in this changes however when you're talking about Rico because when talking about
Rico the government is allowed to get in unrelated seemingly unrelated crimes to prove I don't care what they say you're a bad person the head of a criminal organization that look maybe the arson has nothing to do with the sex trafficking has nothing to do with the bribery it has nothing to do with the witness intimidation but under the umbrella of Rico we can bring all that in to show you're a bad person that's what makes federal trial so difficult because we can bring in all of the other bad acts that Colmes did and then
finally will he testify I've gotten a lot of message saying he's already made the decision to testify legal experts discuss allegations suggesting that the parties lasted for days involving Commercial Workers and orchestrated performan that Diddy himself reportedly directed beyond the physical exploitation the idea of coercion control and blackmail have been Central to the accusations too many times as criminal defense attorneys the assumption is always the same that all of our cases go to trial I think at last blush are you looking at the statistics realistically about 80 or 90% of the cases that we work
with actually work on some type of deal some type of plea so in a way we're not not even lawyers we're basically 80s R&B singers we are Keith Sweat begging our asses off to get the deals that we want to get and so every now and then there's a very small percentage of cases that end up actually going to trial and when they go to trial what I always tell people is you don't know what's happened until you sit inside of a trial and get all of the evidence and listen to it and listen to
the facts so like a perfect example is our boy Diddy we don't know what's going on because all we have heard is what has been put out in the court of public opinion and you ain't beat in the court of public opinion so if you find yourself sitting on a trial as a juror there are three possibilities possibility one is the easy one possibility one is the as a juror I believe he did it and I believe the state proved it that's the easy one that's a guilty possibility two was the other easy one I
don't think he did it and they definitely didn't prove it Diddy allegedly used recordings of these activities as leverage to keep individuals silent or obedient how deep does this level of control and manipulation go within the entertainment industry and so then we get to number three that happens probably more often than not in my Heart of heart I believe he did it but they didn't prove it that's also a not guilty and that's what ends up happening as I tell people a lot of times if the burden is on the stage or the federal government
to prove their case Beyond A Reasonable Doubt what does that mean is that beyond all doubt no that's just that feeling like they didn't do their damn jobs they didn't do their homework I know there's something wrong something's missing like have you ever been watching one of those movies one of those Netflix dramas and you're sitting there watching it and you're just like nah they're trying to make me think this person's the Killer and then there's a plot twist at the end as part of his detainment Diddy is being held in a Brooklyn facility where
he has no access to phones or other electronic devices this isol is a significant shift from his typically high-powered connected lifestyle and may affect his ability to strategize with his legal team what's your opinion on how this case might unfold it's this Detention Center in Brooklyn and he is in uh this very special portion of the facility that offers an extra layer of security for high-profile individuals who could be targeted among the general population and that could mean that he's limited to facilities like the library and the phone so could make it hard his lawyers
are saying for him to be able to prepare for tri and because of all of this com's attorney is actually asking for him to be moved to a New Jersey jail but a judge said that that's ultimately going to be up to the Bureau of Prisons to decide I mean he can continue to appeal this and and can appeal the bond right but you saw that with galain Maxwell she continued to appeal and was not successful now two federal judges saying you got to stay behind bars that's it for today's video stay tuned until next
time
