(Cw: charges inclue topic of sex trafficking and prostitution) So Diddy is pretty much walking free. Amerikkka ain't beating the ingrained misogyny allegations.
So he's not getting sentenced for the sex trafficking just the driving there to do the trafficking
That post made it seem like there's some differentiation between trafficking and prostitution. Which would presumably be to say they were not coerced.
Yeah that’s crazy to me.
Mo money, no problems!
So I guess here's an example of class trumping race, no?
How tf you transport a woman for prostitution but that's somehow not considered sex trafficking
In the US, juries are allowed to make any factual findings of guilt/not guilt, even if they are contradictory.
No shit, just like Epstein, the ghouls always get away one way or another. I wonder how much bribes the jury gets out of this.
Looks like the only charge that stuck is the one which required Cassie to admit during her addiction she 'consented' to being trafficked. Insane
I hope all of those jurors got a nice bribe out of the deal
Besides passive glance at headlines, I haven't followed the story closely at all. Here's the Rolling Stone exposé for anyone who has some catching to to do (published 05/2024)
I'm going to guess that the text message exchange between Diddy and Cassie Ventura, brought up as evidence by the defendants, killed the prosecution's case for sex trafficking to the jury, given that the prostitution charges stuck and the sex trafficking ones did not. Diddy's legal team released those messages (despite them being very embarrassing) to portray Ventura as a willing participant in the "freak offs". Very sadly this worked.
Diddy's output will continue to be relevant to people who value what he produces. We make him irrelevant to us by valuing those who output our values: https://www.palestinechronicle.com/us-revokes-visas-of-bob-vylan-over-free-palestine-chants-at-glastonbury/
Free free!
I didn't really follow this, but if a jury said not guilty isn't it at least somewhat reasonable to assume the evidence wasn't that strong? Or I guess the prosecution could have intentionally made a weak case, but idk
I figured he would go down hard as a scapegoat for the rest of the (white) people involved. Maybe Diddy had enough blackmail or something to wiggle out of it, but also I'm not quick to assume the jury got it wrong if they got to see evidence and hear testimony we didn't. I typically just trust a jury more than the prosecution, cops, government in general, etc.
Politely, juries are full of morons who couldn't skip jury duty and busybodies who want to judge others.
That's what I've been hearing about the case. I haven't followed the nitty gritty too closely, but know people who do. The general consensus I've gotten is that the prosecution came under prepared for as big of a case as they're trying to make. I'm also assuming that they got less evidence than they would get out of court because individual evidence has to be stronger when you're in court (at least if the defense lawyer is any good).
Reminds me of Casey Anthony's trial. Everybody was so pissed at that jury because it was so obvious that she did it, but if you see the case the prosecutors made against her it becomes very clear very quickly why she was found not guilty.
In short, fuck cops
sure, I get the impulse, but who selects the jury and controls what they see?
Yeah, I get what you mean, I even said the prosecution could have brought a weak case. Both the defense and the prosecution teams choose jurors, so if the prosecutor was basically throwing the case then they would certainly try to choose a favorable jury. The court ultimately decides what the jury sees.
I'm just not convinced the government would orchestrate a complex conspiracy to get Diddy on lesser charges instead of just like...not charging him at all in the first place? Allowing him to take a favorable plea deal? Idk there are a lot of ways they could have handled this that seem less complicated than fixing a jury trial.
Can you please add a CW to this? Thank you.
Needs nsfw tag and cw
10 year max per guilty charge, so he’ll probably get five in total and then get let out early on good behavior.
Assuming the groper in chief doesn't give him a pardon.
I imagine that would go down with Trump ranting about how Diddy was unfairly targeted, but he’d also throw in some thinly-veiled racism at Diddy.
I thought his charges were state charges?
Yeah I would be shocked if he does the full sentence.
Also there’s probably like a dozen label execs waiting in the wings to pay his bail as soon as they can
