The Case Against Diddy: Day Number 4 Of Jury Selection (5/9/25)

On November 19, 2024, Sean "Diddy" Combs appeared in federal court regarding the seizure of handwritten notes from his jail cell at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. His defense argued that these notes, which detailed defense strategies and potential witnesses for his upcoming sex trafficking trial, were protected by attorney-client privilege. They contended that the seizure violated Combs' constitutional rights to a fair trial and against unreasonable searches. Prosecutors countered that the notes indicated attempts to obstruct justice by influencing potential witnesses.In a ruling that day, U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian ordered that the 19 pages of notes be excluded from consideration in Combs' upcoming bail hearing and directed that any copies be destroyed. This decision was seen as a legal victory for Combs, as it upheld the confidentiality of his communications with his legal team. Combs, who has pleaded not guilty to charges including racketeering and sex trafficking, remains in custody and is scheduled for a bail hearing on November 22, 2024.(commercial at 10:23)to contact me:[email protected]:Diddy's 'to do list' asking family member to 'find dirt' on victims was  seized in cell raid, court hearing reveals | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In Document 308, both parties in the United States v. Combs trial submitted a joint letter to Judge Arun Subramanian addressing the voir dire process, following their earlier filings (ECF Nos. 272 and 274) containing proposed questions for prospective jurors. The letter outlines areas of agreement between the prosecution and defense concerning how potential jurors should be questioned during selection. This includes standard demographic questions, prior jury service, general attitudes toward law enforcement and the justice system, and the ability to remain impartial in a high-profile case involving serious allegations. Both parties also agree on using written juror questionnaires before oral voir dire and ensuring the anonymity of jurors throughout the proceedings.However, the letter also details several points of dispute between the parties regarding specific voir dire questions. These disagreements primarily center around how directly jurors should be asked about their knowledge of Combs’ past media controversies, opinions about the #MeToo movement, and whether jurors should be specifically questioned about their views on celebrity privilege or racial bias. The defense appears to want more targeted, probing questions to detect potential prosecutorial bias, while the government pushes back on what it sees as overly leading or prejudicial language. The letter asks Judge Subramanian to resolve these disputes before voir dire begins in earnest, underscoring how both teams are already deeply invested in shaping the jury long before opening statements are heard.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing near-certain conviction in his federal criminal trial, where he's charged with a sweeping racketeering conspiracy that includes arson, kidnapping, drug trafficking, and multiple sex-trafficking offenses. The case is being prosecuted by the Southern District of New York, and the evidence is stacked heavily against him—featuring surveillance footage of a brutal assault and testimony from four women who allege years of sexual abuse and coercion. Given the strength of the case and the fact that over 80 percent of federal prosecutions result in guilty verdicts, the odds are decisively not in Combs’ favor.His defense, despite being backed by elite attorneys, has little room to maneuver. The phrase “baby-oil defense” is used to underscore the perceived absurdity of any attempt to explain away the damning evidence—particularly claims that recorded acts of violence were somehow consensual or misunderstood. The courtroom strategy will likely try to blur intent or context, but with such severe allegations and extensive corroboration, that approach is unlikely to resonate with a jury. The prosecution appears well-prepared to dismantle any narrative of innocence Combs tries to offer.to contact me:[email protected]:Diddy’s Baby-Oil DefenseBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

On the fourth day of jury selection for Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial, the process focused on narrowing down the remaining pool of 45 prospective jurors. Judge Arun Subramanian, along with prosecutors and defense attorneys, conducted in-depth interviews to assess potential biases, particularly concerning jurors' exposure to a 2016 video showing Combs assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. Several candidates were dismissed due to their familiarity with the footage or personal experiences with sexual assault, which could affect their impartiality. The defense and prosecution utilized their peremptory strikes—ten for the defense and six for the prosecution—to finalize a panel of 12 jurors and six alternates. The selection process concluded on Friday, May 9, setting the stage for opening statements scheduled for Monday, May 12Throughout the selection process, the court encountered a mix of serious and unexpected moments. Some prospective jurors shared personal traumas, including experiences with sexual assault, leading to their dismissal. Conversely, lighter moments emerged, such as a juror admitting to stealing a Harry Potter wand during their youth and another confessing to falling asleep while binge-watching a television series. Judge Subramanian even joked about the extensive list of names involved in the case, comparing it to a Tolkien novel. These instances highlighted the challenges of assembling an impartial jury for a high-profile case involving a celebrity defendant.to contact me:[email protected]:Diddy trial delayed as judge makes shock ruling on witnesses | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

On Day 12 of Karen Read’s murder retrial, Massachusetts State Police Sgt. Yuriy Bukhenik, the supervising investigator in the case, took the stand. He recounted arriving at Canton police headquarters approximately three hours after John O’Keefe’s body was discovered, where he and former Trooper Michael Proctor were shown evidence collected at the scene, including a broken cocktail glass, O’Keefe’s cellphone, and blood samples stored in Solo cups within a Stop & Shop bag. Bukhenik testified that upon learning O’Keefe was missing a shoe, he theorized that O’Keefe had been struck by a vehicle, a hypothesis he later demonstrated to the jury by presenting the missing shoe and the shirt O’Keefe was wearing at the time of his deathDuring cross-examination, defense attorney Alan Jackson scrutinized Bukhenik’s oversight of the investigation, particularly focusing on his supervision of Proctor, who was later dismissed for sending inappropriate texts about Read. Jackson questioned Bukhenik about potential conflicts of interest, including the involvement of Canton Police Chief Ken Berkowitz, who had recused his department from the investigation due to familial ties to individuals connected to the case. Bukhenik defended the integrity of the investigation, asserting that it was conducted professionally and without bias, despite acknowledging that all individuals possess inherent biasesto contact me:[email protected]:Key investigator in Karen Read case questioned about cocktail glass theory | Fox NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The news regarding Kim Porter's posthumous memoir, titled Kim's Lost Words, has stirred significant controversy. The memoir, which surfaced earlier this year, allegedly comprises diary entries from Porter's time with Sean "Diddy" Combs. Within its pages, Porter describes harrowing instances of emotional and physical abuse, including allegations of Diddy assaulting her with a chair and making death threats. The memoir also details accusations involving Diddy’s infidelity, manipulation, and control throughout their relationship.The memoir, which has reportedly been found on a flash drive by Porter's friends, paints a dark picture of their relationship, stretching from the 1990s to the years leading up to her passing in 2018. While the memoir has not been officially authenticated, its release has drawn renewed scrutiny, especially in light of Diddy's recent legal troubles.However...Lawanda Lane, Kim Porter's longtime best friend and caregiver to her twin daughters with Sean "Diddy" Combs, has firmly denied the existence of any memoir authored by Porter. Lane, who lived with Porter for over two decades, stated that Porter never wrote such a manuscript and emphasized that, as someone who was with Porter daily, she would have been aware of any such writings. She also mentioned that after Porter's passing, she was responsible for organizing Porter's belongings and found no evidence of a memoir.Lane expressed skepticism about individuals claiming to possess Porter's writings, suggesting that these assertions are unfounded. She highlighted that Porter was an extremely private person and would not have documented her personal experiences in a memoir.to contact me:bobbycapucci!protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Federal officials have reportedly discovered notes in Sean "Diddy" Combs' jail cell that suggest he may have offered financial compensation to Kalenna Harper, his former Diddy-Dirty Money bandmate, in exchange for her public support amid his legal challenges. These notes allegedly indicate a payment agreement following Harper's public statement defending Combs against allegations made by Dawn Richard, another former group member.
