Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was arraigned in the Southern District of New York today on a three-count indictment. If convicted, he faces a minimum of 15 years in prison and a maximum of life. After a detention hearing that lasted more than two hours, he was held without bail until trial.

The Defense is appearing before the assigned Judge on September 18th, 2024, before the assigned District Judge. It’s unlikely he will be released based on the charges he is facing, the allegations, and the concerns over his power, money, and influence being used to contact or influence victims and witnesses.

Some of what I learned in court today makes me wonder how this went on for so long and was known about by so many without any consequences. But this case has a long way to go before trial, and I will be interested to see what else comes out.

Karen Read has a new interview on ABC's 20/20 show. I reveal my thoughts on the episode and how this could affect her 2025 Retrial. I also go over the motion filed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts simply titled, "Notice Regarding State Trooper."

We all know the Trooper he's talking about...Michael Proctor. His personal phone was extracted for the 2024 Karen Read trial.

Now, the Defense also wants his work phone extracted for the 2025 Retrial. Prosecutor Adam Lally has concerns about this request and I have my own worries about the relevancy of the information it may contain.

On Friday, September 6th, Karen Read was interviewed on ABC's 20/20 show. I share my initial thoughts on the show and what this could mean for the upcoming retrial in 2025. I will go more in depth in this week's podcast episode.

The Commonwealth filed motions to block defense attorneys from getting the full extraction of Trooper Proctor's work phone. His personal cell phone was turned over, but now they are trying to get into his work phone. I will go more in depth about that on Wednesday's podcast episode as well.

For last week's podcast, I went over the arrest of former Police Officer, Matthew Farwell, for the murder of Sandra Birchmore and the Feds charging him with Killing a witness or victim. I answered some of the questions you had in the comment section of the video and what could come next.

Governor Healey of MA brought in Lieutenant Colonel Jeffrey Noble from New Jersey as the new Head of State Police. Not only is it good news to appoint someone from outside the state, I wouldn't be surprised if they end up under a consent decree.

Kari Morrisey filed a fifty-two page motion to reconsider Alec Baldwin's dismissal with prejudice on a request to exceed the page limit. The Judge denied the state's motion for extension of page limits and cited case law that talks about deterring frivolous filings. Kari Morrissey can technically refile this motion again but it has to be within the 10 page limit.
