I am not apologizing for being educated. Racketeering often comes up with organized crime and the mafia. So think of Sean Combs as a mafia/mob boss who delegates tasks and organizes money with other people to commit crimes. If people do not do what the mob boss wants, that boss might use force/coercion/blackmail to get them to comply. Or he might beat them. Think the Departed or the Godfather. The boss says do what I say. You say no, boss beats the crap out of you. You say I want to leave, the boss locks the door. The boss hands you a drink that you don't know is laced with drugs and now you physically can't leave or consent to anything after that. A conspiracy is an agreement between people to plan to act. So Combs is charged with leading a racketeering conspiracy. He is the mob boss of the organized crime of arranging and transporting sex trafficking. Cassie's testimony provides evidence that Combs hired prostitutes, instructed her to hire them, coerced her to engage in this organization through force (beating), threats (I will show your mother videos) and other blackmail. Her testimony is 100% relevant. Please educate yourself. I don't care if I am condescending. It is dangerous to spread misinformation, especially about topics like this. |
Yes, I can do that. I’m not on a jury. It’s called forming an opinion. You will not find sympathy for this man on DCUM. Better to peddle your wares on another site. |
You should apologize for being kind of a douche nozzle. Some people on this thread are asking good legal and procedural questions, which sorry is that not the point of a board like this? But your choice is to berate people and make them feel stupid. If you don’t like the victim shaming posts, which I don’t either, respond to those directly. People asking legal questions seems in bounds to me. |
DP. For what it’s worth, I’ve seen very few genuine questions about the charges and how Cassie’s testimony fits in. It’s mostly snark “that’s the best they have?” that suggests the poster is spouting off while having no idea about the charges. I asked whether you listened to or read the prosecutor’s opening statement. Did you? Did the people claiming no one is explaining the theory of the case? |
I am responding to victim shaming posters and people who make no effort to read about the charges and yet post horrible things about the victims. I am answering legal questions. If only there was a way for posters who don’t initially understand what he’s being charged with could instantly find that information, like from their phone even….. oh yeah, there is. I don’t care if you or anyone else thinks I’m a “douche nozzle”. What I am not is some sort of victim blamed or enablist for the sick behavior of a predator. Get over yourself. There are probably many more victims out there of Combs than we even know. What is wrong with you? |
Here is the link for live updates of court today. Cassie is being cross examined right now.

NP here. I don’t think you’re being a douche. I appreciate the detailed explanation and breakdown of the charges. I hope you don’t leave the thread as a pp suggested. If that person doesn’t like the posts that are here maybe they should be the one to leave. |
^ This is exactly what an abuser might say. |
Exactly. |
The defense is playing dirty. The judge just abruptly asked for recess after less than an hour of cross examination. |
+1 DP and I have been baffled by the people that think that Cassi’s‘s testimony is meaningless and are excusing Diddy because it’s his personal sex life. These people truly do not understand what the charges are. We live in a really sick society. |
Frankly, after watching that video of Combs kicking and dragging her down the hall, any attempts by his highly paid attorneys to discredit her and the presence of his family members decked out in white would not be helpful to his cause if I were on that jury. Quite the opposite!! |
No one I know feels that way. We view him and his buddies as depraved. It's a disgusting entertainment world that has been allowed to continue for unknown reasons... |
I am talking about the scolidng tone. Please educate yourself. Did you even read such and such? Shaking my head at some of these posts. I don't know if these are all the same people or not. Explain away. It's totally welcome. |
