A Few Things To Know Before The Diddy Trial Kicks Off (5/5/25)

In this filing, the government submits its proposed jury instructions, also known as “requests to charge,” ahead of Sean Combs’ upcoming trial. These instructions lay out how the jury should interpret the law as it applies to the charges in the Third Superseding Indictment, including conspiracy, racketeering (RICO), drug trafficking, sex trafficking, and related offenses. The government requests standard instructions on presumption of innocence, burden of proof, credibility of witnesses (including cooperating witnesses and law enforcement), and the meaning of reasonable doubt. Critically, it also asks the court to include specific legal definitions tied to each alleged crime—for example, the elements of a RICO enterprise and the requirements for proving participation in a drug distribution conspiracy.Furthermore, the government includes instructions regarding the consideration of co-conspirator statements, evidence of prior bad acts, and accomplice testimony, reflecting the sensitive and complex nature of the allegations against Combs. The proposed charges emphasize that the jury must evaluate the case based solely on the evidence presented, without speculation or bias, and that guilt must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. These instructions, if accepted by the judge, will guide the jury through the legal standards necessary to determine whether Combs is guilty on any or all of the multiple felony counts he faces. The submission underscores the government's intent to secure clear, legally sound guidance for the jury in what is expected to be a high-profile and multifaceted trial.to contact me:[email protected]:gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.275.0.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Sean "Diddy" Combs is set to stand trial on May 5, 2025, in New York City, facing federal charges including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for prostitution. The indictment alleges that Combs orchestrated a criminal enterprise over two decades, exploiting his music and business ventures to facilitate coercive sexual encounters, often involving drugs and non-consensual acts. Prosecutors claim that Combs organized events known as "freak-offs," where women were allegedly manipulated into sexual activities with male sex workers, sometimes recorded without consent. A key piece of evidence is a 2016 surveillance video showing Combs assaulting his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, which the judge has ruled admissible in court. Ventura is expected to testify, along with other alleged victims. Combs has pleaded not guilty and remains in custody after multiple bail requests were denied due to concerns about potential witness tampering and flight risk.The trial is anticipated to last approximately four weeks, with the prosecution presenting its case over three weeks and the defense expected to take one week. Combs' legal team, led by attorney Brian Steel, plans to argue that all encounters were consensual and part of a consensual lifestyle. However, the prosecution intends to introduce testimony from multiple accusers to establish a pattern of coercive behavior. The case has garnered significant public attention, with over 70 lawsuits filed against Combs by alleged victims. If convicted, Combs faces the possibility of a life sentence.to contact  me:[email protected]:Diddy trial: What to know about Sean Combs caseBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

On Day 8 of Karen Read’s retrial, key prosecution witness Jennifer McCabe concluded her testimony after intense cross-examination by defense attorney Alan Jackson. McCabe, a former friend of Read, testified that Read repeatedly said, “I hit him,” after discovering the body of her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O’Keefe, in the snow. However, Jackson highlighted inconsistencies in McCabe’s statements, noting that her claim about Read’s alleged confession was absent from initial police reports and grand jury testimony. McCabe admitted to being "untruthful" with investigators and acknowledged omitting key information during her initial interviews, later correcting herself. She denied coordinating her statements with other witnesses, despite Jackson's suggestions to the contrary .ollowing McCabe’s testimony, the prosecution called forensic scientist Hannah Knowles to the stand. Knowles testified that Read’s blood alcohol concentration was 0.093% at 9:08 a.m. on the morning O’Keefe’s body was found. The defense questioned the reliability of this measurement, arguing that it was based on assumptions about when Read last consumed alcohol. The day concluded with the court adjourning for the weekend, and Knowles is expected to resume her testimony on Monday .to contact me:[email protected]:Jennifer McCabe, key witness in Karen Read trial, finishes testimony after heated exchange - CBS BostonBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

It details the specific incidents of abuse, the damages suffered by the victim, and seeks legal remedies such as compensation for physical and emotional harm, punitive damages, and injunctive relief.
