Karen Read Re-trial: 'Hos Long To Die In The Cold' Takes Center Stage On Day 11 Of Witness Testimony (5/8/25)

Prosecutors in Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking trial have encountered a significant challenge: they are unable to locate a key witness, identified as "Victim-3." This witness was expected to provide crucial testimony regarding allegations that Combs coerced her into sexual acts. During court proceedings on May 7, 2025, Assistant U.S. Attorney Maurene Comey informed the judge that both the witness and her attorney have been unresponsive, and there's uncertainty about her appearance even if subpoenaed. This development raises concerns about the prosecution's ability to present a comprehensive case.Despite this setback, the prosecution plans to proceed with testimonies from other accusers, including Combs' ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. The absence of Victim-3's testimony could impact the prosecution's strategy, but they remain committed to presenting the available evidence. Combs faces serious charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering, and has pleaded not guilty. The trial continues as both sides prepare for opening statements scheduled for May 12.to  contact me:[email protected]:Sean 'Diddy' Combs' prosecutors admit they may go to trial without key witnessBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

On Day 11 of Karen Read’s murder retrial, the courtroom focused on digital forensic evidence, particularly the timing of a controversial Google search made by Jennifer McCabe, a key prosecution witness and former friend of Read. Digital forensics expert Jessica Hyde testified that the search query, “hos long to die in cold,” was conducted at approximately 6:24 a.m. on January 29, 2022. This timing aligns with the prosecution's timeline, suggesting the search occurred after John O'Keefe's body was discovered. Hyde clarified that earlier timestamps on McCabe's phone, such as 2:27 a.m., indicated when a browser tab was opened or moved to the background, not when the search was executed. The defense had previously argued that the search occurred earlier, implying foreknowledge of O'Keefe's death.Additionally, Massachusetts State Trooper Connor Keefe testified about evidence collected from the scene, including red plastic shards believed to be from Read's SUV taillight and a black Nike sneaker. Keefe's testimony aimed to support the prosecution's claim that Read struck O'Keefe with her vehicle. The defense questioned the integrity of the evidence collection process, noting inconsistencies such as the late discovery of taillight fragments and the lack of a thorough search of the house where O'Keefe was found. The day's proceedings highlighted the ongoing debate over digital evidence interpretation and the handling of physical evidence at the crime scene.to contact me:[email protected]:Forensic expert Jessica Hyde testifies at Karen Read trial about Jennifer McCabe's disputed Google search - CBS BostonBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

On the third day of jury selection in Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking trial, the court progressed toward finalizing a pool of 45 qualified jurors. Judge Arun Subramanian conducted individual and group questioning, focusing on potential biases and jurors' ability to remain impartial despite extensive media coverage. Notably, several prospective jurors acknowledged familiarity with a 2016 surveillance video allegedly showing Combs assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. While some jurors claimed they could remain unbiased, others were dismissed due to concerns about their impartiality. The court aims to seat 12 jurors and six alternates, with opening statements scheduled for May 12 .The day's proceedings also included unexpected moments. One potential juror revealed he worked at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where Combs is currently held, leading to his dismissal. Another juror admitted to reposting a meme about Combs on social media, explaining he was "doomscrolling" at the time. Despite these revelations, the court completed the initial qualification phase, setting the stage for peremptory challenges to be exercised on Friday. Combs, who has been in custody since September 2024, faces charges including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for purposes of prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty and could face life in prison if convicted .to  contact me:[email protected]:Diddy trial: When will jury selection in Sean Combs' case finalize?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) is a United States federal law enacted in 1970 that provides for extended criminal penalties and a civil cause of action for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization.The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) is a United States federal law enacted in 1970 that provides for extended criminal penalties and a civil cause of action for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization.Under RICO, individuals and organizations can be charged with racketeering if they are found to have engaged in a pattern of illegal activity, such as bribery, extortion, fraud, or trafficking. A "pattern of racketeering activity" requires at least two acts of racketeering within a ten-year period.To take down a human trafficking network using RICO, law enforcement agencies would typically investigate the network's operations, identify key individuals involved, gather evidence of their illegal activities, and establish a pattern of racketeering. This evidence could include financial transactions, communications, witness testimony, and physical evidence linking the individuals to the trafficking activities.Once the evidence is compiled, prosecutors can bring RICO charges against the leaders and members of the trafficking network. If convicted, they could face significant criminal penalties, including imprisonment and forfeiture of assets.Additionally, RICO allows victims of the trafficking network to file civil lawsuits against the perpetrators, seeking damages for the harm they have suffered. This can provide victims with a means of seeking justice and compensation for their ordeal.In this episode we get some confirmation that there are witnesses cooperating with the federal government as far as their RICO investigation goes, and we also get more evidence that the timeline of the Lil Rod suit and the eventual raid was not coincidence, but in fact, connected.  We also get a look at the list of allegations against Puffy over the past few years.  Amidst Sean "Diddy" Combs' ongoing legal troubles, Ariel Mitchell-Kidd, the lawyer representing one of his accusers, disclosed that a "high-profile" individual was unknowingly recorded in a pornographic video at Combs' home. This revelation is part of a broader case involving multiple accusations of sexual assault and sex trafficking against Combs. The video, which is allegedly being offered for sale, has sparked interest due to the unknown identity of the prominent figure captured in it. The lawyer refrained from naming the individual but hinted at their higher profile than Combs.The case also includes disturbing allegations involving Combs' violent behavior, with reports suggesting that he assaulted one of his accusers with an inanimate object and directed others to commit further sexual acts against her. The incident is said to have occurred in 2018 but came to light only recently. Combs' defense team, while preparing for his sex trafficking and racketeering trial, is grappling with these additional accusations, complicating the legal landscape for the music mogul.to contact me:[email protected]:Diddy accuser's lawyer claims 'high-profile person' was present while 'pornographic' acts were performed at rapper's house | Daily Mail Onlinesource:Sean 'Diddy' Combs' alleged victims 'talking a lot,' feds claim 'concrete, detailed, explicit allegations of sex trafficking' (nypost.com)Diddy raided: Here are all the allegations made against Sean Combs | The IndependentBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The East Coast-West Coast hip-hop feud of the 1990s, primarily involving Tupac Shakur, Sean "Diddy" Combs, and The Notorious B.I.G., remains one of the most infamous sagas in music history. What began as a personal falling-out between former friends Tupac and Biggie after a 1994 shooting at Quad Studios in New York escalated into a deadly rivalry. Tupac believed Diddy and Biggie were involved in the ambush, fueling his anger and intensifying the conflict. After being bailed out of prison by Death Row Records' CEO Suge Knight, Tupac fully aligned himself with the West Coast and released the infamous diss track "Hit 'Em Up," publicly attacking Biggie and Bad Boy Records. As the feud gained national attention, gang affiliations on both sides deepened the animosity. Suge Knight’s provocations and media sensationalism only fueled the escalating tension between Death Row and Bad Boy.The rivalry ultimately culminated in the tragic murders of both Tupac and Biggie. Tupac was shot in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, after a violent altercation with Orlando Anderson, a known gang member, and died six days later. Less than six months later, on March 9, 1997, Biggie was gunned down in Los Angeles after attending a party. Both murders remain officially unsolved, although recent developments, including the indictment of Duane "Keefe D" Davis in connection with Tupac’s death, have revived hope of uncovering the truth. The legacies of Tupac and Biggie continue to influence hip-hop, serving as stark reminders of the violent cost of fame and the dangerous intersection of music, street life, and power.Tupac Shakur's family has taken a significant step in seeking justice for the legendary rapper's 1996 death by hiring high-profile attorney Alex Spiro to dig deeper into the case. Despite decades of speculation, multiple conspiracy theories, and false leads, Tupac's murder remains officially unsolved. Recent developments, including new evidence and arrests, have prompted the family to bring in Spiro, known for his expertise in handling high-profile cases involving celebrities. His reputation as a sharp, tenacious attorney makes him an ideal choice for re-examining Tupac's murder, and the family hopes his involvement will help uncover details that the original investigation could not provide.The decision to hire Spiro follows the 2023 Las Vegas police search of Duane "Keffe D" Davis's home, which reignited interest in the case. Spiro is expected to work closely with the family and potentially collaborate with authorities to re-evaluate evidence, witness statements, and new leads. He may focus on challenging existing narratives and investigating overlooked connections to uncover fresh insights into the events that led to Tupac's fatal shooting in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996. The Shakur family's decision to hire Spiro highlights their determination to find answers and achieve closure in a case that has long remained unsolved, hoping that his involvement will bring long-awaited accountability to those responsible for Tupac's untimely death.to contact me:[email protected]:Tupac's family hires attorney Alex Spiro to find Diddy murder link | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The lawsuit, filed by Grace O’Marcaigh, accuses him of assault, battery, sexual assault, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The alleged incident occurred in July 2022 aboard a yacht named Victorious, which was chartered by Diddy for a family outing. O’Marcaigh, a stewardess on the yacht, claims the event devolved into a "hedonistic environment" involving drug use and sex workers, leading to an increased workload and unwanted exposure to illicit activities.According to the lawsuit, Christian Combs exhibited inappropriate behavior towards O’Marcaigh, pressuring her to drink alcohol and becoming aggressive when she resisted. He allegedly grabbed her arm violently, preventing her from leaving, and made unwelcome advances. O’Marcaigh asserts that this experience caused significant emotional and physical distress, adversely affecting her career and personal life.
