Topics
Nancy Grace: 我认为Diddy的辩护律师声称那些暴力袭击只是自制色情片，这简直是荒谬至极。Diddy在法庭上的冷静表现也让我感到非常反感，他应该被关进监狱，而不是在那里装模作样。 Tisa Tells: 我觉得Diddy的辩护策略，包括所谓的“草莓柠檬水辩护”，可能正在崩溃。辩护律师提出的“草莓柠檬水辩护”非常荒谬，他试图用这个比喻来让陪审团相信Diddy的行为是为了取悦伴侣，但这根本站不住脚。辩护律师在结案陈词中使用了许多陈词滥调，例如“她想要”和“她得到了报酬”，这让人感到非常轻蔑。他甚至使用了过时的强奸理论，暗示Cassie在引诱男性，并试图暗示Cassie是一个喜欢性爱的“小妖精”，可以同时应付两到三个男人，这简直令人作呕。辩护律师最初试图以魅力赢得陪审团的好感，但当他开始使用厌女言论时，陪审团的态度转变了，他似乎也意识到自己失去了陪审团的支持，这让他感到紧张。 Rob Shuter: 我对Diddy的律师团队的表现感到震惊，Diddy本人对他们的辩护策略也应该提出异议。Diddy应该能够判断出陪审团对辩护策略的反应不佳，但他却没有采取行动纠正。Diddy是一个控制狂，他会参与到结案陈词的每一个细节中，并非常注重形象，他会确保在演唱会上拍摄到有色人种、年轻人和漂亮的人。Diddy故意让自己看起来虚弱可怜，以博取陪审团的同情。音乐界人士普遍认为Diddy很快就会获释，但我们不能因此而放松警惕。 Dr. Bethany Marshall: 我认为社会上仍然存在对性活跃女性的偏见，这导致性交易受害者无法得到应有的保护。Diddy在法庭上的行为表明他在私下里可能对受害者做过更过分的事情。孩子们需要面对现实，并接受关于他们父亲的真相，辩护律师的言论贬低了女性，孩子们需要接受心理治疗才能理解这些言论的含义。Diddy支付巨额赔偿金是为了掩盖自己的罪行。 Eric Faddis: 我认为陪审团的最终决定才是最重要的，法庭内部的氛围并不能代表陪审团的观点。要证明Diddy有罪并非易事，因为案件涉及的时间跨度很长，而且存在许多相互矛盾的证据和可信度问题。 Robert Crispin: 我认为Diddy在法庭上表现出与以往不同的状态，他小心翼翼地观察着陪审团。Diddy现在意识到联邦法院不是开玩笑的地方，他的命运掌握在陪审团手中。Diddy以往在法庭上的表现都是为了迷惑陪审团，但现在他意识到自己的生命危在旦夕。 Danny Pinter: 我觉得辩护律师的言论令人作呕，而且他试图让陪审团相信Cassie拥有所有的权力，而Diddy是受害者，这是不可信的。 Sydney Sumner: 我了解到陪审团对一名陪审员表示担忧，这表明陪审团内部存在分歧。

Shownotes Transcript

The 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 the sex trafficking case in closing arguments, saying the charges ‘badly exaggerated’ evidence of a 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 arguments: "They Did Him Dirty." 

As soon as deliberations began, they hit a snag, as one juror apparently can’t follow the 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, is being sent to the judge.

These notes appear to signify the jurors are taking their service duty seriously.
