Prosecutors Alert The Court Of Potential Issues With The Cross Examination Of Lance Jimenez (5/31/25)

5/31/2025

In United States v. Combs, S3 24 Cr. 542 (AS), the prosecution submitted a letter to Judge Arun Subramanian alerting the court to anticipated evidentiary and procedural issues related to the upcoming testimony of Lance Jimenez, a key government witness expected to take the stand as early as Monday, May 27. The letter serves as a preemptive notice to streamline courtroom proceedings and mitigate potential objections or delays during Jimenez’s examination. The government likely outlines the scope of Jimenez’s testimony, which may touch on sensitive or contested areas, and provides legal justification for the inclusion of certain pieces of evidence or lines of questioning they intend to pursue. The filing also appears to be a tactical move to prevent surprises and bolster the admissibility of what could be pivotal testimony in establishing patterns of behavior or corroborating other witnesses’ claims. By addressing these matters in advance, prosecutors aim to minimize disruptions during trial and reinforce the integrity of Jimenez’s testimony within the broader evidentiary framework. The letter underscores the government's intent to methodically build its case while anticipating and countering defense efforts to exclude or diminish the impact of Jimenez’s statements. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.354.0_2.pdf Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The War Over Diddy's Subpoena Of Cassie Ventura's Records Continues Behind The Scenes (5/31/25)

5/31/2025

In this letter to Judge Subramanian, Sean Combs's legal team opposes a request made by Ms. Cassie Ventura to block a proposed Rule 17 subpoena that would compel her to produce certain documents. The defense argues that Ventura’s objections lack merit and that the subpoena is neither “unreasonable nor oppressive.” Instead, they maintain that the materials requested are relevant and potentially critical to Combs’s defense in the ongoing federal criminal case, which includes charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. The defense further contends that Ventura’s attempt to avoid producing these documents undermines the fairness of the legal process. They assert that the subpoena complies with procedural standards and is narrowly tailored to obtain specific information tied to Ventura’s claims and testimony. As such, the letter urges the Court to approve, or “so-order,” the subpoena, allowing the defense to access documents they believe may challenge Ventura’s credibility or support Combs’s case. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.370.0.pdf Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Diddy Trial: The Defense Continues It's Cross Examination Of 'Mia' On Day 13 (Part 2) (5/31/25)

5/31/2025

On the afternoon of Day 13 of Sean "Diddy" Combs's federal trial, "Mia," a former assistant testifying under a pseudonym, faced cross-examination by the defense. Combs's attorney, Brian Steel, presented jurors with Mia's past social media posts and a scrapbook she created for Combs's 45th birthday, which included affectionate messages like "I love you forever." Steel aimed to challenge Mia's allegations of abuse by highlighting these positive depictions of their relationship. Mia responded that these gestures were made under psychological duress, explaining that she was in a "very confusing" situation and feared for her safety, stating that creating the scrapbook was "a lot more complicated on all levels." Further questioning focused on Mia's emotional state after being dismissed from Combs's company in 2016. Text messages presented in court revealed her expressing feelings of devastation and heartbreak, describing her life as "over" and stating she was "going to kill" herself. Mia explained that working for Combs was her entire world, and the sudden loss left her feeling lost and betrayed. When asked directly whether she had fabricated any part of her testimony, Mia firmly stated, "What I said is true. I have not lied to anyone at all." The court adjourned for the day, with Mia's cross-examination set to continue on Monday. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: May 30, 2025 - Day 13 of testimony in the Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs trial | CNN Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Allegations That 'Victim 3' Was Paid Off And Suge Knight Has Some Advice For Diddy (5/30/25)

5/31/2025

Gene Deal, Sean "Diddy" Combs's former bodyguard, alleged in a recent interview that Combs paid his ex-girlfriend Gina Huynh approximately $2 million, along with providing her housing and educational support, to dissuade her from testifying in his federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial. Deal claimed that Huynh, believed to be "Victim 3" in the indictment, became a "hostile witness" after accepting these benefits, leading to her disappearance from the witness list. Despite being subpoenaed, prosecutors reportedly struggled to locate her, raising concerns about witness tampering and the integrity of the judicial process. Meanwhile... In a recent prison interview, Marion "Suge" Knight, the incarcerated former CEO of Death Row Records, publicly urged his longtime rival Sean "Diddy" Combs to testify in his ongoing federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial. Knight suggested that by taking the stand, Combs could "humanize his old self" and potentially sway the jury's perception in his favor. He emphasized that Combs's silence might be interpreted as fear, stating, "If they keep him sitting down, it's like he's scared to face the music." Knight encouraged Combs to "tell his truth," implying that honesty and personal accountability could be pivotal in the trial's outcome. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: 'Brainwashed': Diddy's Former Bodyguard Says Gina Huynh Was Paid Millions To Stay Silent Suge Knight tells Diddy to take the stand in effort to ‘humanize’ himself | The Independent Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Mega Edition: Diddy And His Claims That The Prosecution In "Spying" On Him (5/31/25)

5/31/2025

In response to the government's declarations submitted on January 17, 2025 (Dkt. 131), Sean Combs’ legal team reiterates their arguments in favor of his Motion for a Hearing, Suppression, and Other Relief (Dkt. 97). The defense asserts that the government’s submission fails to address critical procedural and substantive issues related to the evidence in question. Specifically, they highlight inconsistencies and potential constitutional violations in the methods used to obtain evidence against Mr. Combs, calling into question its admissibility. The defense maintains that these deficiencies warrant a full evidentiary hearing to safeguard Mr. Combs’ rights under due process. Additionally, the defense emphasizes that suppression of certain evidence is not only appropriate but necessary to ensure a fair trial. They argue that the government’s declarations lack sufficient justification to refute claims of improper conduct and overreach by law enforcement. By filing this response, Mr. Combs’ counsel seeks to underscore the importance of addressing these legal flaws promptly and thoroughly, urging the court to grant the requested relief to uphold the integrity of the judicial process. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.135.0.pdf Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Mega Edition: Tony Buzbee's Memo In Opposition To The Diddy Proposed Sanctions (Parts 3-4) (5/31/25)

5/31/2025

In response to Defendant Shawn Carter's motion for sanctions, the Plaintiff argues that the motion is both frivolous and procedurally improper. The Plaintiff contends that Carter's reliance on a single television interview to challenge the veracity of events that occurred twenty-four years ago, when the Plaintiff was thirteen, does not substantiate a claim for sanctions. They emphasize that discrepancies in recollection, especially concerning traumatic events from decades prior, are common and do not equate to bad faith or warrant sanctions. Furthermore, the Plaintiff highlights that Carter's attempt to bypass the mandatory twenty-one-day safe harbor provision under Rule 11 lacks legal precedent and justification, rendering his request to expedite the filing deadline to one day as unfounded. The Plaintiff also underscores that expecting a sexual assault victim, particularly one who was a minor at the time and has disclosed being autistic, to have precise recall of all details is unreasonable. They reference New York courts' recognition that survivors of childhood sexual abuse may not remember exact dates or times, which does not invalidate their claims. The Plaintiff asserts that Carter's threats of immediate sanctions are intended to intimidate and silence the Plaintiff and other potential claimants, constituting an abuse of the judicial process. They conclude by urging the court to deny Carter's motion, stating that it lacks substantive merit and is procedurally defective. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Microsoft Word - NYC-#6394976-v8A-Draft_Rule_11_Opp__MoL Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Was The Crime Scene In Moscow "Staged" By The Killer?

5/30/2025

Crime scene staging refers to the intentional alteration or manipulation of a crime scene to mislead or throw off an investigation. This may include moving or rearranging evidence, planting false evidence, or creating a false scenario. Crime scene staging can be done in an attempt to conceal the true circumstances of a crime, such as making a murder appear to be a suicide or an accident. It is a form of criminal deception that can compromise the integrity of an investigation and obstruct justice. In this episode, we explore the possibility that the alleged Murderer Bryan Kohberger left the knife sheath there on purpose and if so, why would he do such a thing?

The Idaho Supreme Court Upholds Gag Order In The Bryan Kohberger Trial

5/30/2025

Gag orders, also known as prior restraint orders, are restrictions on speech or the press that are imposed by the government or the courts. The constitutionality of gag orders depends on the specific circumstances of each case and the specific restrictions imposed.In general, the First Amendment of the US Constitution protects freedom of speech and of the press, and restrictions on speech are subject to strict scrutiny by the courts. However, under certain circumstances, the government may impose restrictions on speech in order to protect important interests, such as national security, the integrity of the judicial process, or the privacy rights of individuals.In such cases, the courts will balance the government's interests against the First Amendment rights of the speaker or the press. If the restrictions are deemed to be narrowly tailored and the least restrictive means of achieving the government's interest, they may be upheld as constitutional. However, if the restrictions are overly broad or unnecessarily restrictive, they may be struck down as unconstitutional. In this episode we get the decision from the supreme court who has ruled that the gag order will stay in place.

The Battle Over Kid Cudi's Testimony Continues As The Government Fires Back At Diddy (5/30/25)

5/30/2025

In a letter to Judge Arun Subramanian in the case of United States v. Combs, the government responded to the defense’s anticipated objections regarding the testimony of Scott Mescudi, known publicly as Kid Cudi. The defense seeks to exclude several portions of Mescudi’s testimony, including his account of a conversation with Capricorn Clark during her alleged kidnapping, which occurred concurrently with a break-in at his own residence in December 2011. Additionally, the defense objects to Mescudi’s testimony about statements made to him by Cassie Ventura regarding alleged physical abuse by Combs. They argue that these statements constitute inadmissible hearsay and are unfairly prejudicial to the defendant. The government counters that this testimony is indeed admissible under the Federal Rules of Evidence. Prosecutors argue that Mescudi’s recollection of events and conversations falls within permissible testimony, especially given the timing and context—such as the kidnapping and break-in happening simultaneously. They also defend the inclusion of Mescudi’s understanding of who was responsible for the arson attack on his vehicle, as well as Diddy’s subsequent 2015 apology to him, as probative and relevant to demonstrating the defendant’s consciousness of guilt. The government maintains that this testimony supports their broader narrative of a pattern of intimidation, abuse, and retaliatory violence. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.360.0.pdf Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Mia also alleged that Combs controlled her movements, preventing her from leaving his properties without permission. Her testimony corroborated previous accounts by Combs's ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, highlighting a pattern of abuse and control. Mia further testified about witnessing Combs's violent behavior toward Ventura, including a 2013 incident where he allegedly assaulted Ventura, resulting in a severe head injury.
