Federal prosecutors have filed a motion to exclude testimony from Dr. Elie Aoun, a forensic psychiatrist and assistant professor at Columbia University, whom Sean "Diddy" Combs' defense team intends to call as an expert witness. The defense aims to have Dr. Aoun testify regarding Combs' mental state during the period of the alleged offenses, suggesting that Combs may have had diminished mental capacity. However, the government argues that Dr. Aoun's proposed testimony is inadmissible under the Insanity Defense Reform Act of 1984 and Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 12.2, which govern the introduction of expert testimony related to a defendant's mental condition. Prosecutors contend that Dr. Aoun's opinions lack a reliable scientific basis and appear to be speculative, rendering them unsuitable for presentation to the jury.Additionally, the government asserts that allowing Dr. Aoun's testimony would effectively permit the defense to introduce a mental health defense without adhering to the procedural requirements mandated by law. They argue that the defense has not provided sufficient notice or evidence to support such a defense, and that Dr. Aoun's testimony would serve as a substitute for calling actual witnesses, thereby circumventing the rules of evidence. The prosecution maintains that admitting this testimony could mislead the jury and prejudice the government's case, and therefore, they urge the court to preclude Dr. Aoun from testifying at trial.to contact me:[email protected]:gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.276.0_1.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The case of Jones v. Combs (1:24-cv-01457) involves a complex series of allegations against Sean "Diddy" Combs and multiple associated parties, including Universal Music Group and Love Records. The opposition to Combs' motion to dismiss centers on serious allegations of misconduct, with the plaintiff, Rodney Jones, asserting claims under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. The request for judicial notice of Combs' federal indictment ties into broader accusations, including sex trafficking and racketeering, which have gained significant attention in a separate federal case.This particular filing challenges Combs’ legal team's attempt to dismiss the case by bringing forward evidence that links the civil case to Combs’ criminal indictment, arguing that the indictment supports the plaintiff's claims of exploitation and manipulation over a prolonged period. The opposition excludes Justin Dior Combs but includes other significant figures and corporations, with the plaintiff seeking to ensure the court acknowledges the federal charges in the ongoing civil proceedings.The case has seen numerous legal maneuvers, including motions for sanctions and attempts to amend complaints, reflecting the high-stakes nature of the litigation and the complexity of the issues at hand​.to contact me:[email protected]:gov.uscourts.nysd.616406.78.0.pdf (courtlistener.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Joseph Sherman, formerly a bodyguard for Sean "Diddy" Combs, has filed a defamation lawsuit against Thalia Graves and her attorney, Gloria Allred. This legal action follows Graves' allegations that, in 2001, both Combs and Sherman drugged, bound, and raped her at a Bad Boy Entertainment recording studio, recording the assault and distributing it as pornography.In his lawsuit, Sherman asserts that he ceased working for Combs in 1999 and has never met Graves, labeling her claims as "utterly and entirely false." He contends that Graves contacted him in November 2023, seeking his cooperation as a witness against Combs in exchange for excluding him from legal proceedings. Sherman includes alleged messages from Graves in his lawsuit to support this claim.Sherman argues that the accusations have caused significant harm to his reputation and livelihood.

Rapper Shyne, born Moses Michael Levi Barrow, has recently spoken out about the 1999 nightclub shooting in New York City, expressing that he was made the "fall guy" for the incident. He contends that while he was defending himself and others during the altercation, he ended up serving a ten-year prison sentence, whereas Sean "Diddy" Combs, who was also present, was acquitted of all charges. Shyne believes that Diddy's actions during the trial contributed to his conviction, stating that Diddy "pretty much sent me to prison."Despite the past grievances, Shyne has indicated that he holds no current animosity toward Diddy. In a recent interview, he mentioned that he has "no problem with Diddy" and appreciates any contributions Diddy has made to help the people of Belize.

Reports indicate that Sean "Diddy" Combs allegedly spent approximately $500,000 on a "Freak Off" party in the early 2000s, which included redecorating a room in his mansion with hundreds of mirrors on the walls and ceiling to enhance the viewing experience of the event. These gatherings were characterized by extravagant expenditures on high-end food, expensive alcohol, dancers, acrobats, and sometimes live animals, contributing to the overall cost. The parties reportedly featured explicit activities, with the mirrored room designed to reflect the events occurring within.In our second segment...In November 2024, DeWitt Gilmore filed a lawsuit against Sean "Diddy" Combs and his bodyguards, alleging that they physically assaulted him outside a New York City nightclub in the summer of 1996. According to Gilmore, after exiting the club, Combs and his entourage confronted him, leading to a verbal altercation that escalated when armed members of Combs' group blocked his car and fired shots. Gilmore claims he and his friends narrowly escaped the scene by accelerating through traffic. Combs' representatives have dismissed the allegations as "pure fiction," expressing confidence that the judicial process will reveal the truth.(commercial at 9:05)to contact me:[email protected]:Exclusive | Diddy redecorated room with hundreds of mirrors for $500K 'Freak Off'source:Diddy sued by man for 1996 physical assault outside clubBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
