DIDDY: In Court Today for Hearing
Written by Ariel Newbold on October 10, 2024
Diddy is expected to attend a court hearing today. His defense team will request a speedy trial as early as April. They also want to hear if the judge will release Diddy beforehand.
His attorneys wish to suppress the hotel surveillance video that captured Diddy assaulting Cassie as she tried to escape a “freak off”. They’ve accused federal prosecutors of “leaking” that clip and tainting Diddy’s chance at a fair trial.
The defense will try to convince the judge to toss the federal charges if it’s proven the government inappropriately gave the video to the media “to raise public hostility against Diddy.” The clip has been cited as evidence to keep Diddy behind bars so he cannot intimidate witnesses.
