Well, the federal prosecutors going after Diddy have a reminder for the appeals court,
00:05
which is now considering his appeal that Diddy filed, saying that he should be let out on
00:12
bail, and they're asking the appeals court to look at the judge's decision to deny him
00:18
bail.
00:19
They're 0 for 2 so far.
00:20
Yeah.
00:21
Well, it might be 0 for 3, or at least that's the way the prosecutors want it to go, because
00:24
they filed documents yesterday, which we have seen, and they lay out all the, they
00:31
say, very strong reasons why there is no way you should let this guy out, because they
00:36
point out he, you know, we've heard them talk about this in generalities in court, that
00:42
he has a history of intimidating witnesses and potential victims as well, as alleged
00:47
victims.
00:48
So now they got a little bit more specific, and it has a lot to do with that Cassie video.
00:54
Which, in these documents, they, one, remind the appeals court that, to their knowledge,
01:00
what they're saying in court in these documents is that she was trying to escape one of these
01:05
freak-offs that was being held at that hotel, at the InterContinental Hotel in 2016.
01:11
Beyond that, they say, once that video, once Diddy was aware of that video, he took some
01:17
steps, some very problematic steps, to conceal that video, and in fact, let's be honest,
01:23
he was successful for many years.
01:25
Right.
01:26
Eight years plus.
01:27
And Charles, this is the key point of what they're focusing on, because in laying out
01:30
their case, they have to show that if he's on the outside, he could intimidate witnesses
01:34
potentially or try to obstruct justice.
01:36
So they point to this incident where they say he offered a stack of cash to a security
01:39
officer after the Cassie beating video, and then when that bribe wasn't taken, ordered
01:44
his other people to go get the video one way or another, and eventually the video disappeared.
01:49
So they're saying, this guy on the outside, not only, he may not be a flight risk if he
01:53
has an ankle monitor, but what he is is a risk to order his people around to intimidate
01:57
witnesses and that's why we need to keep him locked up.
01:59
Yeah, and in that case, I mean, that's, I mean, potentially criminal charges, but that's
02:04
really a reputation issue.
02:05
Now Diddy, I mean, he is literally facing life in prison if ultimately convicted here.
02:09
So there's a lot of reason for him to potentially try something.
02:12
Right.
02:13
That's what you're saying, like the stakes are even higher.
02:14
Yeah.
02:15
I mean, his life is on the line.
02:16
Literally.
02:17
So if you let him out, what, imagine what he would do is, what they're saying here.
02:20
I would imagine, wouldn't you think Charles, that they, that the lawyers, Mark Agnepo is
02:23
going to say, yeah, he could do this stuff from behind bars too.
02:26
He could do it from behind bars.
02:27
Right.
02:28
It's a lot harder to do it from behind bars cause your phone calls are sort of more controlled
02:31
than on the outside.
02:32
If he just has an ankle monitor and he's living in Miami, he can access his people much more
02:37
readily.
02:38
And that's the picture they're trying to paint to keep him locked up.
02:40
Hi, my name is Christina.
02:42
I'm from Sacramento, California, and I just feel like Diddy's, his whole actions are inexcusable.
02:48
And at the end of the day, it really goes to show that everything that happens in the
02:51
dark will always come to light.
02:53
It doesn't matter how much money you have, how much cloud or how much status.
