“The Trial Of Sean Combs” Episode Thirty Three | Defense Closing Arguments

“The Trial Of Sean Combs” Episode Thirty Three | Defense Closing Arguments

Today, jurors in Diddy’s trial heard closing arguments from defense attorney Marc Agnifilo. Agnifilo, who addressed the panel for four hours, forcefully and sometimes derisively pushed back on the U.S. government’s “exaggerated” narrative. He asserted that Diddy was being unfairly persecuted for his sexual “lifestyle,” insisting that his client was innocent of all charges.

Jim Chapman brings you highlights of the closing Arguments in the Diddy Trial.

00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.160
Welcome back to Exposed Scandalous Files of the Elite. I'm

2
00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:08.480
your host, Jim Chapman. More back with this thirty third

3
00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:12.880
episode of the Trial of Sean Combs, and today I'm

4
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:16.920
going to cover the defense closing arguments. Now, I brought

5
00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:21.800
you the prosecutions closing arguments in the last episode, and

6
00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:25.879
in this one, I'm going to summarize those closing arguments.

7
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:30.679
Just too long to cover word for word every single

8
00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:34.479
thing that was said during these closing arguments, but this

9
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:36.759
is going to be eye opening. I'd love to know

10
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:40.079
your opinion after I'm done with this one. Now, kicking

11
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:44.960
off the closing arguments is Mark Agnafilo, and throughout this

12
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:48.240
I'm just going to refer to him as Mark. Now,

13
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:51.280
Mark starts it off by saying, quote, this has been

14
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:55.119
a tale of two trials. First, there's the trial as

15
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:58.840
told by the witnesses, the text messages in the videos.

16
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:02.719
The second trial, the trial as told by the mouths

17
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:08.040
of prosecutors that I submit to you, is the false trial.

18
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:12.719
This is an exaggerated trial that is not the real trial.

19
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:15.640
Then he goes on to say, the trial of the

20
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:20.879
evidence is about the lifestyle you want to call it, swingers.

21
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:23.959
But whatever you want to call it, that's what it is,

22
00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:29.319
and that's what the evidence shows. Mark recounted positive things

23
00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:33.959
that Combe's former employees said about him. Quote, Let's talk

24
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:38.200
for a second about what the evidence shows about Sean Combs.

25
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.599
Shawn Combs has become something that is very, very hard

26
00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:44.799
to be, very hard to be. He is a self made,

27
00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:52.640
successful black entrepreneur. Combs has created wonderful, sophisticated real businesses

28
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:55.599
that have stood the test of time. Did they always

29
00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:59.400
like him, No way, Let's not even go there. But

30
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:03.000
they loved they didn't want to leave him. Marked them

31
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:07.159
praise Shawn Comb's for the businesses that he built, businesses

32
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:11.360
that he said focused on diversity. Mark said that Combs

33
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:16.319
was practicing diversity, equity and inclusion known as DEEI before

34
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:19.879
it was a mandated practice. Quote, he was doing this

35
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:23.240
in nineteen ninety three as a twenty four year old

36
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:26.520
all by himself. He went on to say, no witnesses

37
00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:29.919
said they were part of the racketeering conspiracy or worked

38
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:33.039
in the enterprise, And he balked at the idea that

39
00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:38.240
Shawoncombe's business was a racketeering enterprise. He said, no witnesses

40
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:42.319
said they were part of a racketeering conspiracy or worked

41
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:47.000
in the enterprise. Quote you don't hear that from the evidence,

42
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:50.639
and you didn't hear that from any of the witnesses.

43
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:54.280
Mark told the jury that six of Shawan Combe's seven

44
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:58.199
kids are in the courtroom, along with Combe's mother, and

45
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:02.400
he said the jury should know about Comb's character. Quote.

46
00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:06.280
The man takes care of his people. He said, this

47
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:10.400
is evident through his relationship with Jane. Comes paid for

48
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:13.280
her home where she could take care of her child.

49
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:16.080
I hope she's having a nice day, but you know

50
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:19.800
what she's doing. She's in a house that he's paying for.

51
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:24.639
And Mark sarcastically talked about the searches of Shawn Combe's

52
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:28.879
homes by Homeland Security in Los Angeles and Miami Beach

53
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:33.840
in twenty twenty four. Quote boxes of astroglide taking off

54
00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:38.879
the street. WHOA, I feel better already, artificial lubricant not

55
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:45.000
for me. The streets of America are safe from astroglide,

56
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:47.479
he went on to say. And they got the baby oil,

57
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:51.520
and they found the personal use drugs. They did it.

58
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:54.840
It's all worth it. Thank goodness for that response team.

59
00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:58.879
They found the astroglide, they found the baby oil, and

60
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:02.560
they found like five value pills. Way to go Fellas.

61
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:06.280
Mark said that none of shawing Combe's alleged victims called

62
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:09.840
law enforcement. Quote, they do call somebody though they call

63
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:14.400
civil planet lawyers. That's who they call. This isn't about crime,

64
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:17.839
It's about money. He went on to say, Cassie Ventura

65
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:21.600
sued shawing Comb's for thirty million because Shawn Combs has

66
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:25.759
thirty million. This very investigation came out of the civil case.

67
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:30.000
No thirty million, no lawsuit, no thirty million, no lawsuit,

68
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:33.800
no criminal case. But that's why we're here. We're here

69
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:36.199
because of the money. He went on to say, we

70
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:39.560
owned the domestic violence. We didn't run away from it

71
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:43.439
or challenged the two ex girlfriends who testified against shawing

72
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:46.639
Comb's Cassie or Jane about it. I don't think we

73
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:50.079
asked her a single question to challenge anything she said

74
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:53.160
about being hit, being kicked, or being dragged. And then

75
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:57.319
Mark referenced the social media statement that Ventor made after

76
00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:00.959
singing In in twenty twenty four published that video of

77
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:03.399
her getting a ship beat out of her quote, she

78
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:07.000
was very precise and very clear about what the issue

79
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:10.399
was for her. The issue for her was domestic violence.

80
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:14.279
When she says domestic violence is the issue, I'm asking

81
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:17.560
you to believe her. Mark told the jury that between

82
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:20.639
Combs and Ventura, the suit was settled the next day

83
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:24.639
in Ventura won. He said the suit demanded thirty million,

84
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:28.600
although he reminded the jury that Ventura testified it was

85
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:31.199
settled for twenty million. Quote. If you had to pick

86
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:33.319
a winner in this whole thing, it's not hard to

87
00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:35.680
pick Cassie. And then he pointed out that Combs is

88
00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:39.439
sitting in jail while waiting the outcome of this trial.

89
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:42.000
He said Combs and Ventura were not part of a

90
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:46.680
racketeering conspiracy. Quote. It's a real relationship, and they were

91
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:50.319
in love. Cassie is no joke, and that's why he

92
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:53.519
loved her. She matched Jim. He felt like she was

93
00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:57.360
like him. Mark called their relationship a in this shocked

94
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:01.680
me quote a great modern love story, telling the jury

95
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:05.279
they could cry at text messages that Combes and Ventur

96
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:09.439
exchanged professing their love for each other. He said Ventur

97
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:13.240
eventually made an adult choice to leave that relationship in

98
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:17.240
twenty eighteen, and she felt no pushback from Combs. Quote,

99
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:20.120
she was always free to leave. She chose to stay

100
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:23.079
because she was in love with him. Mark then addressed

101
00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:26.199
Combes and Ventura's sex life, saying, quote, she's a woman

102
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:29.920
who actually likes sex. Good for her. She's beautiful, she

103
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:35.040
should she's intense, she's unafraid. They were the best selves

104
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:38.199
when it came to sex. They fought when it came

105
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:40.199
to other women. He went on to say, out of

106
00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:44.319
scores of text messages admitted into evidence in the trial,

107
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:47.480
you won't find one where she's like, I didn't like

108
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:50.839
the sex. I'm not attracted to you. I don't like

109
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:54.120
our sex life. It's not for me. He said. Ventur

110
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:57.319
and Combs matched up when it comes to sex. Quote.

111
00:06:57.399 --> 00:06:59.519
I guess she could call them swingers. I guess she

112
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:02.879
could call but a lifestyle. Mark also reminded the jury

113
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:07.040
that kick Cutty confirmed that Cassie Ventura played him, saying quote,

114
00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:10.480
she played him good too. She played them both. He

115
00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:14.959
referenced the prosecution's argument that Ventura was scared of Combs, quote,

116
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:17.800
she lied to him for a long time, over and

117
00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:21.800
over and over, as she had another relationship with another

118
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:25.839
singer songwriter under his nose. She's not afraid of him.

119
00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:29.800
Mark called Ventura a gangster, pointing to the burner frame

120
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:32.079
that she used to stay in touch with kid Cuddy

121
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:35.319
and saying she was trying to pull off lying to

122
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:40.240
both men. Mark addressed the twenty twenty four kidnapping allegation

123
00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:43.920
made by Capricorn Clark. Now, if you'll remember, she said

124
00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:47.240
she was kidnapped in him for five days taking light

125
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:52.319
detector test after Shawncombe's jewelry went messing. He said Clark

126
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:55.399
is a little out there. She testified at the trial

127
00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:58.879
that she wanted her life back. The world Shawncomb's created

128
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:02.120
and is at the center of. That's the life she

129
00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:05.959
wanted back. She said she couldn't work in the industry

130
00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:10.399
after leaving Comb's employment. She also acknowledged she reached out

131
00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:14.800
to Cones for work years later after she stopped working

132
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:17.199
for him. Mark told the jury that Clark had a

133
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:21.959
crush on Combs and wanted their platonic relationship to become more.

134
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:25.800
He recounted Clark's testimony about the law of detector testing

135
00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:29.160
when she set a large man five times her width,

136
00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:31.680
threatened to throw her in the East River if she

137
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:35.639
didn't pass, and Mark also mocked the idea that prosecutors

138
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:40.000
said the twenty twenty four kidnapping was an underlying act

139
00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:43.080
for the racketeering charge. Now, if you'll remember, each day,

140
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:46.000
after hours of testing, Clark had said, one of comes

141
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:50.440
security guards drove her home. So Mark liking this experience

142
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:53.679
to the jury that spends long hours in the courthouse

143
00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:56.360
each day and then goes home. Quote, you're about as

144
00:08:56.440 --> 00:09:00.279
kidnapped as she was kidnapped. It's unsettling that it's the

145
00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:03.919
whole reason investigators use it. I have no doubt she

146
00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:07.840
was unsettled, but she was not kidnapped. Mark also said

147
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:11.039
that Comes had a storing role in quote A Raisin

148
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:14.879
in the Sun, which was a Broadway show y'all around

149
00:09:14.919 --> 00:09:18.679
the time that these light detector tests were given. Quote,

150
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:22.159
he's starring on Broadway. He is involved in the middle

151
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:26.200
of a very significant voter drive campaign called voter Dye,

152
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:28.600
and he's running all these companies. Do you think he's

153
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.519
waiting on the edge of his seat. How's that light

154
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:34.200
detector test coming back? I can't wait to see if

155
00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:37.600
she passes. He couldn't care less. He had nothing to

156
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:40.879
do with it, Mark said. Mark then recounted the kidnapping

157
00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:45.279
allegation that Capricorn Clark testified to who said that Comes

158
00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:47.600
came to her home with a gun and then brought

159
00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:51.440
her to rapper Keith Cutty's house in December of twenty eleven.

160
00:09:51.960 --> 00:09:55.159
He said that Clark was probably so honored that Comes

161
00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:58.159
finally came to her house for the very first time,

162
00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:00.399
that if he asked her to take it trip to

163
00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:02.919
the moon, she'd go, and he knows that. He then

164
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:06.120
pointed out that kid Cutty testified that Clark didn't mention

165
00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:09.000
a gun when she called them that day. Quote. Had

166
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:13.720
Capricorn said gun, Cutty would have remembered gun, You're not

167
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:17.320
gonna forget gun. Gun is one of the fear words

168
00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:21.159
in our language. Ki Cutty also didn't mention a gun

169
00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:24.679
to the responding officer, Mark said, and he added that

170
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:28.679
the officer wrote up the incident as trespass. Mark also

171
00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:33.639
knocked Capricorn Clark's credibility in the validity of her story.

172
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:36.159
He said, Clark had to lie about the gun so

173
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:39.039
it didn't seem like she was helping. Sean Combs quote.

174
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:41.679
She doesn't want to give the impression that she's like

175
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:45.440
part of this of her own volition. Mark acknowledged that

176
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:49.279
Combe was at kid Cutty's home that day. He acknowledged

177
00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:53.559
that the responding officer caught the escalat license plate that

178
00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:56.840
was linked to Combe's company, and Mark said the incident

179
00:10:56.919 --> 00:10:59.120
showed that Combs as a fighter who would look to

180
00:10:59.159 --> 00:11:03.360
a good old fashion fistfight to confront Kick Cutting. So

181
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:06.000
he had a character for Combs to plot a car

182
00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:09.360
bombing quote, there's no evidence that he had anything to

183
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:11.799
do with that Porsche. He went on to say the

184
00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:14.679
blowing up the car of rapper kid Cutty would have

185
00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:17.960
been a coward's way to go out. Quote, He's gonna

186
00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:20.039
fight him, He's not going to blow up his car.

187
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:24.879
Mark said the investigation into the arson was a terrible investigation,

188
00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:28.320
and he asserted that the investigator didn't know what happened

189
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:32.440
to fingerprints that were recovered. He underscored the investigator's testimony

190
00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:36.320
that partial DNA profile from the scene was consistent with

191
00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:40.480
a female. Mark said the instances of Sean Combe's offering

192
00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:46.200
Intercontinental Hotel personnel money following that twenty sixteen assault against

193
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:49.879
Cassie was about preventing bad publicity and was not a

194
00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:54.320
bribe under relevant law because there was no law enforcement investigation,

195
00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:59.080
and Combs wasn't trying to hinder law enforcement. And we

196
00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:02.600
come on, now, Mark, we all know that is bullshit.

197
00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:06.399
That was a fucking bribe. Mark said police were nowhere

198
00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:10.240
near the situation at the hotel, and Venturrea didn't want

199
00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:14.320
police involvement. He said law enforcement only came hours later

200
00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:17.519
to an apartment because Combs was banging on the door.

201
00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:21.600
Mark reference Comes repeated attempts to reach out to Ventura

202
00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:25.039
after she left that hotel. Quote, He's calling her and

203
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:29.000
she's freezing him out, as she should. He's just trying

204
00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:32.080
to get her attention. Mark said Comes did not witness

205
00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:34.840
tamper in the case of Mia. In twenty twenty three

206
00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:38.960
and twenty twenty four, during the federal investigation, the defense

207
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:43.159
attorney suggested the government misled the jury when it suggested

208
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:46.080
d Rock was trying to give me a money to

209
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:49.519
influence her. Mark showed the jury texts they had seen

210
00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:52.799
earlier in the trial from a conversation between Mia and

211
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:55.279
d Rock. When she told him she was out of money,

212
00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:59.200
d Rock responded offering me a help if she needed it.

213
00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:03.200
Mark then turned back to the topic of Mia. He

214
00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:07.120
said Mia testified with a false persona in court. He

215
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:10.120
said the bubbly person in the birthday video that the

216
00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:14.720
jury watch that's me as true personality, and Mia falsely

217
00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:18.639
testified that Comes sexually assaulted her. Quote, this was not

218
00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:23.519
unwanted sexual contact unquote. Mark told the jury that Comes

219
00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:27.200
to Mia had consensual sexual contact and the jury should

220
00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:30.200
believe that because they saw a text from Comes to

221
00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:33.480
Mia when he threatened to tell Cassie about it. Quote

222
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:37.080
Cassie doesn't know about it and Mia doesn't want Cassie

223
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:40.159
to know about it. Mark question why comes with threatened

224
00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:43.639
to tell vinter about something he wrongfully did to Mia.

225
00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:47.279
He referenced a positive social media post that Mia posted

226
00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:50.960
about Combs, asserting that was how she really felt. He

227
00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:54.639
showed the jury the scribe book Mia created for comes

228
00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:57.919
forty fifth birthday and called it an act of love.

229
00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:01.679
He then showed the jury a photo Mea posted of

230
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:05.440
a group of people, including several of Combe's employees, and

231
00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:08.440
he said, think of a word or phrase that comes

232
00:14:08.440 --> 00:14:17.039
to mind, joy, family, home belonging. He asked, racketeering enterprise this,

233
00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:21.919
this is your racketeering enterprise, folks. While referencing that picture,

234
00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:25.639
Mark said, there's no evidence to support the government allegation

235
00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:29.200
that Shawn Combs and his enterprise conspired to distribute or

236
00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:33.600
possess with the intent to distribute a controlled substance. He said.

237
00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:36.840
The jury has heard no allegation that Shawn Combs is

238
00:14:36.879 --> 00:14:40.639
selling drug and he acknowledged there's no doubt he had

239
00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:45.559
personal use drugs. He's obviously got a drug problem. He said.

240
00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:48.559
It's true the assistants picked up the drugs for Combs,

241
00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:52.720
but quote, the purpose of these businesses and enterprise had

242
00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:56.639
nothing nothing to do with getting him drugs. Quote. These

243
00:14:56.679 --> 00:14:59.159
are the things he did with his girlfriend, and they

244
00:14:59.200 --> 00:15:02.600
did them together. There's no indication that he's selling it

245
00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:06.240
to Cassie or Jane or somehow moving the drugs or

246
00:15:06.279 --> 00:15:09.559
distributing the drugs. He said. The sex life of Sean

247
00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:13.799
Comb's and Cassie was quote just not sex trafficking. It's

248
00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:17.360
his girlfriend. I suppose you get sex traffic your girlfriend

249
00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:20.399
if you sell her into prostitution, he said, adding there

250
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:25.039
was no suggestion Comes was making any money off freak offs. Quote.

251
00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:29.960
They're swingers, this is their lifestyle. Mark said the evidence

252
00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:33.399
was overwhelming that vent Tera wanted to participate in these

253
00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:37.159
freak offs, but he gave the jurors a hypothetical situation

254
00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:41.279
in which one partner liked the particular sex and the

255
00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:44.600
second partner didn't but knew the act made the first

256
00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:48.039
partner happy. He asked, do you still not want to

257
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:50.559
do it? Where does that land on the I want

258
00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:53.240
to do it? I don't want to do it spectrum?

259
00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:58.360
Mark reiterated that this lifestyle choice was also Ventura's choice. Quote,

260
00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:01.399
she's ready to go, and God bless her she is.

261
00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:05.440
She's beautiful, sexy woman and that's what she deserves to

262
00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:08.120
be if that's what she wants to be, and that's

263
00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:11.720
what she wanted to be. Mark also knocked the government

264
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:15.000
statement in its closing argument that not all the freak

265
00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:19.120
offs were non consensual. He then asked, how's he supposed

266
00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:22.840
to know? Mark them read a few sexually explicit messages

267
00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:26.799
Ventura sent Combs referencing the freak offs, and he said, quote,

268
00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:29.559
there was nothing that would say to him that that

269
00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:32.679
was against her will. Mark then went back to the

270
00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:36.840
March twenty sixteen incident at that hotel, and he said, quote,

271
00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:40.639
messages leading up to that incident showed Combes and Ventura

272
00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:43.960
were workshopping a freak off together, and that's how he

273
00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:48.440
termed it. Mark showed the jury parts of the surveillance video,

274
00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:52.080
but not the parts where Combs is being violent with Ventura.

275
00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:55.159
He acknowledged those parts of the video were terrible. He

276
00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:58.159
also used the footage to argue that Combs was coming

277
00:16:58.279 --> 00:17:01.559
after Ventura to get a cell phone. He said that

278
00:17:01.639 --> 00:17:04.720
Ventura later went back into the room with Combs and

279
00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:08.200
the security officer because quote, the room was not a

280
00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:12.960
scary place. He suggested the drugs explain Combe's behavior in

281
00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:16.839
that video, saying, you're walking around in the middle of

282
00:17:16.880 --> 00:17:19.359
the day in a hotel with just a towel in

283
00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:22.119
socks on, so what do you think caused that. He

284
00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:26.519
also suggested that Cassie was never raped, saying, quote, she

285
00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:30.079
had plenty of time to change her story to say

286
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:35.000
it happened. He then referenced a text in September after

287
00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:38.359
that rape supposedly happened that said, I had a lot

288
00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:40.720
of fun with you. Thanks for the night. I told

289
00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:43.279
myself I didn't want anything to happen, and I'm not

290
00:17:43.440 --> 00:17:47.079
tripping on it. I know you aren't either. Mark said

291
00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:49.799
her now husband, who she was dating at the time,

292
00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:52.119
facetimed her in the middle of the night when she

293
00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:55.079
was with Combs, and when her husband found out that

294
00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:59.039
she was with Combs, she lied and said she was raped.

295
00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:02.400
He said, then and Terror changed her story because Come

296
00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:06.200
Center attacks, saying, quote, I know I look bad to you.

297
00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:09.799
I could tell I didn't turn you on yesterday. I

298
00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:12.880
fell off, but I'm about to get my shit together,

299
00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:16.160
and the government argued that that was an admission from

300
00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:18.839
Comes that she didn't want to have sex. Ventura also

301
00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:22.880
testified she later had consensual sex with Combs in October.

302
00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:25.839
Quote if there was really a rape, she would not

303
00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:30.440
have gone back and had consensual sex, so there's no rape,

304
00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:34.000
Mark said. Mark pointed to Cassie Ventura's answer when she

305
00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:38.039
was asked what kind of pain Comes put her through quote,

306
00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:41.039
I think bigger, more than anything, it was our own

307
00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:44.200
personal shame in having to carry things out that were

308
00:18:44.279 --> 00:18:46.880
shameful to him. He went on to say, in a

309
00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:50.160
sex trafficking case, the most painful thing for her was

310
00:18:50.200 --> 00:18:53.880
to unburden him of his shame and carry around his shame.

311
00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:57.759
That was the answer. She could have answered that question

312
00:18:58.359 --> 00:19:02.000
any one of a million wayses. The reason it's beautiful

313
00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:05.200
is the only person who can answer this question that

314
00:19:05.279 --> 00:19:08.519
way is a person who's truly, truly in love with

315
00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:11.720
the other person, and all you need to know is

316
00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:14.359
that answer. He went on to say, both Cassie and

317
00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:17.839
Jane were saying this was an essential, vomnerable, deep part

318
00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:21.079
of himself, and he trusted me to go there with him,

319
00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:26.440
meaning the freak offs. He said, Jane answered a similar

320
00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:29.759
question in the same way, talking about how she felt

321
00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:33.799
the nights at the hotels with Combs or something special

322
00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:37.599
between them. Quote, she was basically saying, listen, I'm going

323
00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:41.079
to be very vulnerable, very special for you, and I'm

324
00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:43.559
doing it because I love you. He went on to

325
00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:47.799
describe how in exchange, Jane wanted to be treated special.

326
00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:51.759
Quote that's a lot of things, but that's not sex trafficking.

327
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:55.400
Mark said there's nothing to Cassie Ventura's claims that Seawan

328
00:19:55.480 --> 00:19:58.319
Combes held her back as an artist. He reminded the

329
00:19:58.400 --> 00:20:01.960
jury they heard from Cap Clark that Ventur got the

330
00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:05.920
line's share of resources and attention from the record label

331
00:20:05.960 --> 00:20:09.440
from two thousand and seven to twenty ten. He also

332
00:20:09.559 --> 00:20:12.920
reminded the jury that Clark said Ventur was a recording

333
00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:16.759
artist and had talent, but wasn't a natural star. He

334
00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:19.319
then moved on to Jane, and he said Jane was

335
00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:23.400
motivated by wanting nice things in trips that she posted

336
00:20:23.480 --> 00:20:27.000
on social media. He said, Jane love Combs, but she

337
00:20:27.160 --> 00:20:30.400
was focused on what she was going to get out

338
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:33.640
of it that the world can see. And Mark reiterated

339
00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:38.359
the argument he made about comes sexual relationship with Cassie, saying, quote,

340
00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:41.799
the government said, they're not saying every single hotel night

341
00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:46.799
was a sex trafficking situation. Well, which ones were and

342
00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:50.480
how seawan Combe's supposed to know the difference. Mark also

343
00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:53.720
said Jane was used to moving in circles with celebrities

344
00:20:53.759 --> 00:20:56.759
like Combs, and he reminded the jury that they learned

345
00:20:56.759 --> 00:21:00.680
who her child's father is and what wrap she was

346
00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:04.240
with in Las Vegas of twenty twenty four. Quote. She's

347
00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:07.319
comfortable being in that sort of strata. That's just how

348
00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:10.359
she moves. He said, Comes took care of Jane and

349
00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:14.599
her child because the child's father quote dropped the ball.

350
00:21:15.079 --> 00:21:18.079
And of course we've since found out the child's father

351
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:20.960
is fifty cent so that's a shot at fidy right there.

352
00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:24.920
He described Comes paying rent for Jane's La house as

353
00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:28.319
a gesture of niceness that shouldn't be construed as a

354
00:21:28.359 --> 00:21:32.799
catalyst to sex trafficking. Mark said Jane is receiving pretty

355
00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:35.799
crappy child support, as he termed it, from the child's

356
00:21:35.799 --> 00:21:40.000
father fifty now. Jane testified at trial she receives about

357
00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:43.319
five thousand dollars per month in child support. Quote, guess

358
00:21:43.359 --> 00:21:46.880
who's giving her more? The one who has no responsibility

359
00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:50.200
for that child at all. He's picking up the ball

360
00:21:50.279 --> 00:21:52.559
for someone who seems to have dropped the ball for

361
00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:56.119
his own kid, and comes is still paying rent for

362
00:21:56.359 --> 00:22:00.680
Jane's house, even though Jane testified against him. They made

363
00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:03.640
a deal and he kept it good for him. He

364
00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:06.279
said Jane agreed to the knights with him at the time,

365
00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:10.640
regardless of the regret after the fact, and he reminded

366
00:22:10.680 --> 00:22:14.160
the jury that Jane never gave an explanation for slamming

367
00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:17.240
Combe's head during a twenty twenty four fight. He said

368
00:22:17.319 --> 00:22:21.319
Jane's account of that June eighteenth incident just didn't make sense,

369
00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:25.680
saying her violence towards Combs was odd and her timeline

370
00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:30.119
seemed off. He also questioned how much Combs actually hit her,

371
00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:34.160
but he did acknowledge that Combs was violent with her quote,

372
00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:38.920
there's obvious physical contact. He then suggested Jane may have

373
00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:42.039
been trying to set up Combs in that incident because

374
00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:46.039
she knew there was an ongoing federal investigation, saying she

375
00:22:46.200 --> 00:22:48.359
might have picked a fight with Combs and then called

376
00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:52.079
that mail entertainer to come over so she could create

377
00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:55.799
a narrative. Mark mocked the government for calling to the

378
00:22:55.839 --> 00:22:58.880
witness stand only two men who said they had sex

379
00:22:58.880 --> 00:23:02.880
with Casting while Shawn Combs watched, saying the two men

380
00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:05.599
who were said to have had sex with Ventur during

381
00:23:05.640 --> 00:23:09.759
Freakoffs both testified that they aren't prostitutes and that they

382
00:23:09.799 --> 00:23:13.960
didn't travel across state lines to meet Ventur. In Combes,

383
00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:17.200
he's really reaching on this one. Both men actually did

384
00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:20.359
say during their testimony they receive money from Combs and

385
00:23:20.440 --> 00:23:24.400
Ventura after having sex with them. So Mark referred to

386
00:23:24.440 --> 00:23:28.079
an escort service that we talked about, alike cowboys for Angels,

387
00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:32.200
and they frequently provided these men for the freak Offs.

388
00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:37.319
And he suggested the legality surrounding such an escort service

389
00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:40.720
as vague and that Shawn Combs would have assumed its

390
00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:44.160
operations were on the up and up. Quote, why is

391
00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:46.880
he supposed to know more than them if they're in

392
00:23:46.960 --> 00:23:50.400
the business and they're sending the escorts. Of course, talking

393
00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:54.759
about Cowboys for Angels, quote, people pay for an escort's time,

394
00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:58.279
if the two people meet and they choose to have sex,

395
00:23:58.880 --> 00:24:01.359
it looks to me like it's it's not illegal. There

396
00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:04.160
are all these companies around the world doing this, and

397
00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:07.079
Cowboys for Angels is just one of them. He added

398
00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:10.519
that their existence is evidence in Comb's mind that what

399
00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:13.880
they were doing was okay. He said, Cowboys for Angels

400
00:24:13.880 --> 00:24:17.920
still appears to be in business today. Come on, everybody

401
00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:21.960
knows that an escort service is illegal. He also argued

402
00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:26.119
that the videos of freak Ass were homemade porn. He said,

403
00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:29.799
in every poorn movie, I'm assuming the actors get paid

404
00:24:29.799 --> 00:24:33.839
to have sex. How is that not prostitution? I don't know,

405
00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:39.359
and you don't either. Mark also argued against racketeering conspiracy charges,

406
00:24:39.480 --> 00:24:43.319
noting no one was indicted with Combs. He alleged that

407
00:24:43.400 --> 00:24:47.720
the prosecution arranged testimony about Comb's guns to make the

408
00:24:47.799 --> 00:24:50.759
jury think he's a bad person, saying, quote, they brought

409
00:24:50.799 --> 00:24:54.359
out a big, nasty, scary gun to show you, for

410
00:24:54.440 --> 00:24:57.440
what purpose? To make you think he's a bad person

411
00:24:57.480 --> 00:25:00.680
who has big, scary guns. And if they're going to

412
00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:03.400
do that, don't you think they would have an obligation

413
00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:05.640
to put a witness on the stand to tell you

414
00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:10.519
where they were. At what point do you stop trusting

415
00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:14.359
the government. And wrapping up his closing argument, Mark told

416
00:25:14.440 --> 00:25:18.119
the jury that it would take courage to acquit Seawan Combs,

417
00:25:18.440 --> 00:25:20.519
but he asked him to do the right thing and

418
00:25:20.599 --> 00:25:24.000
acquit him of all the charges against him. Quote, you

419
00:25:24.039 --> 00:25:27.119
should feel bold, You should feel the courage that you

420
00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:29.640
will need to call this as you see it. And

421
00:25:29.720 --> 00:25:32.440
I'm asking you to summon that courage and to do

422
00:25:32.519 --> 00:25:35.519
what needs to be done. He is not a racketeer.

423
00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:39.319
He is none of these things. He is innocent. He

424
00:25:39.440 --> 00:25:43.960
sits there innocent, and at that point he points directly

425
00:25:44.039 --> 00:25:46.599
to Combs, and then he says, quote, return him to

426
00:25:46.640 --> 00:25:50.599
his family and those who have been waiting for him.

427
00:25:50.720 --> 00:25:53.799
And that was it for the defense and the prosecution

428
00:25:53.960 --> 00:25:58.480
had a short rebuttal Maureen Coombe said, quote, the defense

429
00:25:58.640 --> 00:26:01.359
just spent a whole lot of energy trying to blame

430
00:26:01.400 --> 00:26:05.079
his victims and the US government for his lies, his threats,

431
00:26:05.160 --> 00:26:10.079
and for his inexcusable behavior, tossing up excuse after excuse

432
00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:14.720
for his inexcusable behavior. But make no mistake, this trial

433
00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:19.079
was about how Sean Combs, in his world, no was

434
00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:22.480
never an option. She went on to say, he flew

435
00:26:22.759 --> 00:26:27.039
escorts across the country, watched them have sex while he masturbated,

436
00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:30.559
and then he handed him cash. His money is for sex,

437
00:26:31.319 --> 00:26:38.400
the sexual performance, not for time, and that is prostitution. Now,

438
00:26:38.519 --> 00:26:40.279
some of the men might have been willing to do

439
00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:43.920
these acts regardless of money, but when they got cash

440
00:26:44.119 --> 00:26:46.839
at the end of the night, they were getting paid

441
00:26:47.319 --> 00:26:51.960
for sex. It's irrelevant what the escorts thought about the interaction.

442
00:26:52.359 --> 00:26:55.480
The law pertains to comb state of mind. When he

443
00:26:55.599 --> 00:27:00.200
transported the men for prostitution, Combs knew what he was doing.

444
00:27:00.440 --> 00:27:03.160
He knew it was illegal, because he said so in

445
00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:08.119
text messages to Ventura. Remember she needed to make sure

446
00:27:08.240 --> 00:27:12.599
the escorts were not undercover cops come. He also responded

447
00:27:12.640 --> 00:27:15.519
to the defense suggestion that Seawan Combs couldn't have had

448
00:27:15.559 --> 00:27:20.279
an enterprise because its purpose wasn't illegal activity, saying, quote

449
00:27:20.359 --> 00:27:25.880
an enterprise could have lawful and unlawful purposes quote. Prosecutors

450
00:27:25.880 --> 00:27:30.160
aren't claiming comes companies themselves were illegal, but that they

451
00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:34.319
used some of the money to further those companies. She

452
00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:37.799
said Christina Korm and d Rock were friendly with then

453
00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:41.119
Comeb's girlfriend Cassie because it helped them get her back

454
00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:44.319
to Combs and do what he wanted. Quote, they were

455
00:27:44.359 --> 00:27:48.519
playing both sides. She then revisited testimony about Combs going

456
00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:52.160
to after kid Cuddy and Eddie Garcia, who was the

457
00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:55.359
guy that took that bribe for the twenty sixteen hotel video,

458
00:27:55.960 --> 00:27:58.920
and she again reiterated that Combs couldn't have done his

459
00:27:59.079 --> 00:28:02.599
dirty work without the help of his inner circle. She

460
00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:06.680
pushed back on the suggestion that the accusers enjoyed freak

461
00:28:06.720 --> 00:28:09.440
offs in hotel night, saying vent Turn didn't have a

462
00:28:09.480 --> 00:28:12.759
financial incentive to lie on the stand. She had already

463
00:28:12.759 --> 00:28:17.279
secured thirty million in settlements from Combs in the Intercontinental

464
00:28:17.319 --> 00:28:21.680
Hotel even before testifying at the trial, and she reminded

465
00:28:21.839 --> 00:28:26.559
jurors that Jane performed hotel nights out of obligation by

466
00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:30.359
twenty twenty three, when Combs was paying her rent. She

467
00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:34.319
also said during this rebuttal that quote, being a domestic

468
00:28:34.359 --> 00:28:38.119
abuser is not a defense to sex trafficking if part

469
00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:41.119
of the abuse is making your partner participate in a

470
00:28:41.160 --> 00:28:45.640
commercial sex act. You're guilty of sex trafficking. She again

471
00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:48.680
reminded the jury that if just one freak off or

472
00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:53.440
hotel night out of all these freak affs was sex trafficking,

473
00:28:53.480 --> 00:28:57.759
then that's enough to convict Combs for sex trafficking. All

474
00:28:57.799 --> 00:29:02.000
of them don't have to be the same situation. And

475
00:29:02.039 --> 00:29:05.880
in her own version of a mic drop if you

476
00:29:05.960 --> 00:29:09.799
will come, he may have had the quote of the

477
00:29:09.880 --> 00:29:14.480
trial when she said this quote for twenty years, the

478
00:29:14.559 --> 00:29:18.920
defendant has gotten away with his crimes. That ends in

479
00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:24.839
this courtroom. The defendant is not God, he is a person,

480
00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:29.400
and in this courtroom he stands equal before the law.

481
00:29:30.200 --> 00:29:34.359
Overwhelming evidence proves his guilt. It is time to hold

482
00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:40.519
him accountable, find him guilty. And I could not agree

483
00:29:40.519 --> 00:29:43.640
with that more. That's what all of this has been about.

484
00:29:44.200 --> 00:29:48.400
That is why I put out over sixty five episodes

485
00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:53.920
covering this trial in the civil lawsuits before us fucked

486
00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:59.640
shown Combs. And with that, eight weeks of trial ended

487
00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:04.319
and the jury was dismissed. And today when you're hearing this,

488
00:30:04.440 --> 00:30:06.720
I'm recording this on Sunday, but you're gonna hear it.

489
00:30:06.759 --> 00:30:12.400
On Monday, the judge will issue instructions on deliberating to

490
00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:16.359
the jury, and we're gonna get a verdict in short order.

491
00:30:16.559 --> 00:30:19.519
I have a feeling within a couple of days. That's

492
00:30:19.559 --> 00:30:22.519
my prediction. And I have to say this, the defense

493
00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:26.559
they did a lot of victim blaming today as it

494
00:30:26.599 --> 00:30:33.079
relates to Cassie especially, and I find that personally despicable.

495
00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:37.599
It's disgusting and I do not think that that will

496
00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:43.000
farewell with the jury. But we'll see. Thank you so

497
00:30:43.079 --> 00:30:46.559
much for listening. Check out the Patreon. I need your

498
00:30:46.640 --> 00:30:50.599
support on that Patreon because I did so many episodes

499
00:30:50.720 --> 00:30:53.799
of Seawan Combs. I think some of my patreon members

500
00:30:54.400 --> 00:30:56.160
were thinking I wasn't going to go back to my

501
00:30:56.240 --> 00:31:00.759
regular shit, and quite honestly, a few people dropped off.

502
00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:03.039
But I had to do this, y'all. This was a

503
00:31:03.960 --> 00:31:07.039
personal thing to me. It was something I have covered

504
00:31:07.039 --> 00:31:09.839
since the beginning. I don't want to say I broke

505
00:31:09.920 --> 00:31:13.519
this story of Sean Combs, because I didn't. That lawsuit

506
00:31:13.559 --> 00:31:16.880
that Cassie put out in November of twenty twenty three

507
00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:20.200
broke this thing, but I was the first one that

508
00:31:20.279 --> 00:31:23.039
I'm aware of that really covered it in detail. Even

509
00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:28.079
before NBC Singing In and every other freaking person that

510
00:31:28.119 --> 00:31:31.519
has jumped on this bandwagon. I covered this because it

511
00:31:31.559 --> 00:31:34.079
was that shocking to me, and I cared that this

512
00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:39.039
girl got justice in more than just monetary justice. So

513
00:31:39.160 --> 00:31:41.519
that's why I did it. Thank you so much for

514
00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:47.960
listening again and until next time for exposed scandalous files

515
00:31:47.960 --> 00:31:52.240
of the Elite, I'm your host, Jim Chapman. Much love,
