The Karen Read Re-Trial: Jen McCabe's Testimony Continues On Day Number 7 (5/1/25)

​The U.S. government's motions in limine in the case against Sean "Diddy" Combs seek to shape the evidentiary landscape for the upcoming trial. Prosecutors aim to introduce corroborative materials such as text messages, diary entries from a former employee, and a 911 call to support the testimonies of alleged victims. They argue that these pieces of evidence are crucial to demonstrate patterns of behavior and to counter anticipated challenges to the credibility of witnesses. Additionally, the government requests the exclusion of certain defense evidence, including prior consensual sexual encounters Combs had with individuals not involved in the case, asserting that such information is irrelevant and could mislead the jury.Furthermore, the prosecution seeks to admit expert testimony from psychologist Dr. Dawn Hughes, who would explain how victims of abuse might remain in relationships with their abusers due to emotional manipulation or fear. This testimony is intended to provide context for the victims' continued association with Combs, which the defense might use to question their credibility. The motions also address the admissibility of a 2016 surveillance video allegedly showing Combs assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. The defense contests this video's inclusion, claiming it has been altered and lacks authenticityto contact me:[email protected]:gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.260.0_1.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Sean “Diddy” Combs is pushing for a gag order against the attorneys representing his accusers, alleging that their public statements are threatening his right to a fair trial. On the eve of his criminal proceedings, Combs’ legal team filed a motion requesting the court to restrict what the opposing counsel can say to the media, citing a “media circus” and arguing that the consistent leaks and inflammatory commentary are prejudicing the potential jury pool. Diddy’s lawyers claim the plaintiffs’ attorneys, particularly those handling the civil suits tied to sex trafficking and assault allegations, are engaging in a coordinated PR campaign designed to sway public opinion before any evidence is formally presented in court.The request for a gag order comes amid mounting legal trouble for Combs, who faces multiple lawsuits and a federal criminal investigation that includes the possibility of RICO charges. His legal team is framing the issue as a matter of constitutional fairness, asserting that the relentless media attention—much of it fed by the accusers’ attorneys—violates due process and could derail any hope of impartial proceedings. The court has not yet ruled on the motion, but if granted, it could significantly limit public discourse from key voices in the case, setting up a major legal battle not just over the facts, but over who gets to shape the narrative.to contact me:[email protected]:Diddy's legal team asks judge to place gag orders on victims' attorneys on eve of trial | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In the latest development from the Karen Read retrial, key witness Jen McCabe took the stand again and doubled down on her claim that Read confessed to hitting Boston police officer John O’Keefe with her SUV. McCabe reaffirmed that during a frantic phone call in the early hours of January 29, 2022, Read allegedly said, “I hit him, I hit him, I hit him.” This moment has become a central point of contention in the case. Defense attorneys grilled McCabe over the lack of documentation or immediate mention of the alleged confession in any official reports or interviews shortly after the incident. McCabe maintained that she relayed the statement to investigators but couldn’t explain why there’s no official record of it, further fueling the defense’s claim of mishandled evidence and coordinated cover-up.Adding to the controversy, the article notes that Read’s defense has long argued the case is a conspiracy to protect someone else, and McCabe’s statement is being used to bolster the prosecution’s theory that Read intentionally backed into O’Keefe with her vehicle outside 34 Fairview Road. However, skeptics of McCabe’s testimony question its timing and reliability, especially as digital records and police notes appear to lack any direct reference to the confession for months after O’Keefe’s death. Despite this, McCabe stood firm on the witness stand, stating, “I stand by what I heard,” even as public scrutiny and courtroom tension continue to intensify around her role in the unfolding legal drama.to contact me:[email protected]:Jennifer McCabe testimony challenged in Karen Read murder trial of O'Keefe | Fox NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The April 24, 2025 order issued by Judge John C. Judge in the Bryan Kohberger case addresses the prosecution's motion to limit or exclude certain pieces of evidence—specifically, the 911 call and related text messages made by surviving roommate Dylan Mortensen on the night of the murders. The state sought to prevent the defense from introducing or speculating about the content and timing of the 911 call or messages, arguing that such discussions would be prejudicial, misleading, and based on incomplete information. The court agreed in part, ruling that the defense may not reference the 911 call or text messages during opening statements, as their admissibility will depend on the context provided during trial.However, Judge Judge left the door open for the 911 call and texts to be introduced later, depending on how the evidence unfolds and whether a proper foundation is laid. He emphasized that such materials must meet standards of relevance and reliability before being admitted in front of the jury. The ruling reflects the court’s intent to avoid speculation and ensure that jurors are only exposed to properly vetted evidence. The decision was a partial win for the prosecution, but it does not preclude the defense from raising the issue later if it becomes legally and factually appropriate.to contact me:[email protected]:042425+Order+on+States+Motions+in+Limine+RE+Text+Messages+and+911+Call.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In May 2024, former model Crystal McKinney filed a lawsuit against Sean "Diddy" Combs, alleging that he drugged and sexually assaulted her in 2003. According to McKinney, she met Combs during a Men's Fashion Week event in Manhattan, where he invited her to his recording studio later that evening. Upon arrival, she found Combs and several men consuming alcohol and marijuana. After partaking in what she believed was marijuana, McKinney began to feel disoriented, suspecting the substance was laced with another drug. She alleges that Combs then led her to a bathroom, where he forced her to perform oral sex. Following the assault, McKinney claims she lost consciousness and later awoke in a taxi, realizing she had been sexually assaulted.McKinney's lawsuit was filed under New York's Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act, which allows survivors to pursue civil action regardless of the statute of limitations. She also revealed that she preserved the clothing she wore that night, keeping it unwashed and stored in plastic for two decades, potentially serving as evidence. This lawsuit is among several allegations against Combs, who has faced multiple accusations of sexual misconduct and abuse. Combs' representatives have denied these allegations, asserting that they are baseless attempts to tarnish his reputation(commercial at 7:47)to contact me:[email protected]:gov.uscourts.nysd.621909.19.0.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jeffrey Epstein’s “Core Four” referred to the group of women who played key roles in recruiting and managing his trafficking operation. These four women—Ghislaine Maxwell, Sarah Kellen, Adriana Ross, and Lesley Groff—allegedly helped Epstein lure underage girls into his network, scheduling massages that often turned into abuse. **Ghislaine Maxwell**, the most infamous of the group, acted as Epstein’s chief recruiter and was convicted in 2021 for sex trafficking. **Sarah Kellen**, Epstein’s personal assistant, was accused of booking and managing the young girls’ schedules, sometimes coercing them into compliance. **Lesley Groff**, another longtime assistant, was described as Epstein’s "executive secretary," allegedly facilitating travel and communication for the victims. **Adriana Ross**, a former model, reportedly helped remove evidence from Epstein’s properties to avoid law enforcement detection.While Maxwell was convicted, Kellen, Groff, and Ross have denied wrongdoing and have not faced criminal charges. Kellen, who changed her name to Sarah Kensington after Epstein’s arrest, claimed she was also a victim, groomed into her role from a young age. Groff's legal team has insisted she was unaware of any abuse, despite being named in multiple lawsuits. Ross, who worked as an Epstein housekeeper and was seen in photographs with Maxwell, has remained largely out of the public eye. Prosecutors described these women as essential to Epstein’s operations, ensuring a steady supply of victims while maintaining his elaborate trafficking network. However, legal scrutiny has largely focused on Maxwell, leaving questions about whether the other three will ever face consequences.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
