Lead attorney for Diddy's powerhouse defense team, closes with mixed reviews as the disgraced rap mogul appears focused, glancing at the juror box as jury instructions are laid out before deliberations begin. Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ lead attorney Marc Agnifilo mocks sex trafficking case in closing arguments, says charges ‘badly exaggerated' evidence of swinger lifestyle and threesomes, with recreational drug use. Judge Arun Subramanian admonishes Agnifilo after his heavy victim and state blaming sarcastic closing arguments. Agnifilo calls Combs’ prosecution a “fake trial” and ridicules the notion the rap mogul ever engaged in racketeering. Even rival rapper 50 Cent weighs in about closing arguments by Combs' powerhouse defense lead, calling out Diddy's lawyer over controversial closing argument: 'They Did Him Dirty'."  Soon as deliberations began, they hit a snag, as one juror apparently can’t follow judge’s instructions, according to other jurors. Jurors sent the judge a note complaining that one juror may not be playing well with others. With that said, Diddy's jury has a lot to ponder and work through on understanding RICO laws, as another question, making it the second one, being sent to the judge. These notes appear to signify the jurors are taking their service duty seriously.  Joining Nancy Grace today,  Eric Faddis - Trial Lawyer and TV Legal Analyst, Founding Partner of Varner Faddis Elite Legal, former felony prosecutor and current criminal defense and civil litigation attorney  Dr. Bethany Marshall - Psychoanalyst, Author: "Deal Breaker: When to work on a relationship and when to walk away” Also featured in hit show: "Paris in Love" on Peacock,  www.drbethanymarshall.com , Instagram & TikTok: drbethanymarshall, Twitter: @DrBethanyLive   Robert Crispin- Private Investigator “Crispin Special Investigations”, Former Federal Task Force Officer for the United States Department of Justice, DEA and Miami Field Division.

A lot of information has come out about the victims in Moscow, Idaho, and the condition of their bodies as well as location and injuries. Latah County Coroner Cathy Mabutt made many public comments in the first days of the investigation that in retrospect might have been misguided, at best. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack discuss the case, the evidence, and what was stated as fact early in the investigation that doesn't match up with current facts. Joe Scott Morgan explains the forensics of death, Livor Mortis, Rigor Mortis, as well as PMI, Post Mortem Interval, and how the delay in reporting the bodies could be problematic for the prosecution in the upcoming trial of Brian Kohberger.          Transcribe Highlights00:00.19 Introduction   01:48.68 Decomposition - PMI 03:32.16 Elderly people are cold when it is hot  07:00.30 Rigor Mortis, Livor Mortis 11:48.60 Environmentally dependent 15:33.11 Stiffening of jaw 19:56.67 Latah County Coroner said Idaho students killed in their sleep 23:19.82 Strength of Rigor Mortis 28:22.59 Using digital turkey thermometer to get body temp from liver 32:54.33 Assuming room temperature 38:11.60 Latah County Coroner told family member about injuries 43:00.35 Removing stomach and collecting contents 49:49.70 Gastric content 53:08.10 Post Mortem lividity 58:25.86 Conclusion See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sean "Diddy" Combs used "violence and fear" to run a criminal enterprise that allowed him to subject two former girlfriends to sex trafficking, a U.S. prosecutor said Thursday during closing arguments at the music mogul's trial. Prosecutor Christy Slavik told jurors that Combs "uses power, violence, and fear to get what he wants," adding, "He thought that his fame, wealth, and power put him above the law." Slavik cited Ventura Fine’s alleged involvement in several of Combs' so-called "freak offs" as an example of the coercion he used during sexual encounters. Prosecutors argue Combs operated a criminal enterprise under a "climate of fear." The jury is expected to begin deliberations late Friday or Monday. Some observers say the trial has shifted from a question of whether Combs committed the acts to whether he will be held accountable Joining Nancy Grace today, Joshua Ritter - Criminal Defense Attorney, Former Prosecutor, Host of "Courtroom Confidential" on YouTube; website: joshuaritter.com; Twitter, Instagram & TikTok: @joshuaritteresq, YouTube: CRConfidential Dr. Bethany Marshall - Psychoanalyst, Author: "Deal Breaker: When to work on a relationship and when to walk away” Also featured in hit show: "Paris in Love" on Peacock, www.drbethanymarshall.com , Instagram & TikTok: drbethanymarshall, Twitter: @DrBethanyLive  Joseph Giacalone -) Former NYPD Sergeant SDS, Author: “ The Cold Case Handbook” and “The Criminal Investigative Function: A Guide for New Investigators”, Podcast host of "True Crime with the Sarge", YouTube: Joseph Giacalone, Twitter: @JoeGiacalone, www.josephGiacalone.com   Lynn Shaw - Founder and Executive Director of Lynn's Warriors - an organization committed to ending human trafficking and sexual exploitation,  Host of Lynn's Warriors on YouTube, website: lynnswarrior.org,  X: @lynns_warriors, YouTube: @LynnsWarriors Tisa Tells - Pop Culture Investigator & Commentator and Host of 'Tisa Tells' on Youtube, Instagram & TikTok: @TisaTellss, Facebook: Tisa.Tells.3 Lauren Conlin - Podcaster/Reporter/Host- Co-Host of "PopCrimeTV" on YouTube,  Website: www.popcrime.tv and primetimecrimeshow.com,  X- @Conlin_Lauren, Instagram: @LaurenEmilyConlin, YouTube: @PopCrimeTV    Sydney Sumner - 'Crime Stories'  Investigative Reporter  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
