Chapter 1: What is the Diddy Trial about?
But I will tell you.
It's very interesting for me as a lawyer to talk to you because it's not very often that I actually get the opportunity to talk to someone who has personal experience with a legal issue that we're discussing and that we're analyzing. So this is a win-win for both of us. So it's very exciting.
I agree. I can't wait. You can teach me how to catch a husband after you teach me the law.
All right. Well, we'll work on that.
OK, so with Mia, I just want to first establish two days of testimony. She still is going to be in cross on Monday. We ended today with Brian Steele cross examining her. For those that don't know, Brian Steele is in most cases probably one of the best, most effective lawyers on Diddy's side. And probably this was one of the worst crosses in the entire trial for me personally. It.
ventured over into victim blaming which um at this point i think don the the therapist established for for the most part everybody's kind of established people that are victims do go back to their abusers they do uh have shame in their stories they do go back to things that are familiar in order to just forget and and not and pretend like it didn't happen in order to find normalcy again so
This contact back with abusers, this, you know, wanting to work back with them or communicate with them. It's a nothing burger for me at this point. If that's all you have, then you don't have much.
Well, I would agree with that. And I would say that's basically what the defense has. And that's what they're going to focus on on every single witness forward. It's always going to be. Why did you stay? Why were you there so long? Why did you engage? Why did you come back? Why did you keep showing up for work?
And I thought it was really important that the prosecution did put Dawn on who I can't remember. Is she psychiatrists?

Chapter 2: Who is Mia and why is her testimony important?
But that being said, you'd think that like if someone's that shifty and that on the move, that they would just make calls themselves on certain things. But he was very careful to not do that. He was careful with Cuddy to be out of the house by the time Cuddy gets back. He's careful at Soho House to tell him, what do you mean?
Right. He's also careful that he has someone under his direction actually put the cocktail in the car and commit the arson. It's not him. He's not the one cutting the convertible open. But, you know, I thought the same thing.
But they might have flipped the man who did. Allegedly. And you can go down a nice, dark, dirty YouTube hole if you'd like to. One night I'll come over for drinks, like a little housewives moment. Yeah, you want to? Yeah. But you could go down a nice little YouTube tunnel of understanding back in the day, people that came forward and said that they were prostitutes for Cassie and Puff.
And they named people that he talked to on phone calls in front of him, allegedly. And when a time where people are very charged, I just optics wise, I thought certain things would be different. And he was saying to me, I was like, has it changed? Do lawyers not care about prostitutes?
like justice anymore is it really just about the money grabs and he's like you know it's it's both some lawyers really want to make money and some lawyers really are after that pursuit you can get disenfranchised enough in a career as an attorney when you're after the pursuit to stop caring about the pursuit and want to fucking you know he's like some a bunch of money
Yeah, he's like, tell me specifically about AUSAs. And he was like, some AUSAs have got that. I don't care what the payment is. I want to be in the most prestigious position to fight for justice for people.
And he's like, and some realize that after doing this job for a certain period of time, they're going to get a great corporate gig that pays a lot of fucking money when they settle out and want to go – out away from that job. I didn't understand it from that vantage point, but I was trying to get a read on because so much of this is going to be about the jury and the lawyers.
And so little of it is about the people on the stand. When it all, when I watched the Netflix special of OJ's trial and it was Johnny Cochran and all the lawyers basically just tattling on how they manipulated everything and everyone to get to the end. And they were so proud of their legal prowess and being around lawyers and saying,
that people can come in a room and be high-fiving someone they know is a fucking criminal just because they did a better job at convincing everyone in the room. That's like, I want to grab my pearls. I don't like that.
