How convenient!
He didn't have a diminished capacity when he was abusing all those women 😡
I hope they see him through 😤
I think I saw you on Surviving the Survivor.
yeah he's famous but does anyone really care about celebrities? I don't. If i ever see him, I would just be like "hey a famous person" then move on.
Alcoholic…the rosacea is telling.
That’s convenient as fuck
Love your analysis, Josh, and I skipped KR update!
Thoroughly enjoyed the analysis on the other cases!💜
Not a " lifestyle " — privelege isn't a "style." Not a costume or clothing choice, not an historical trend or temporary influential modality. Power push sucks common public energy — the air of civilized society — into its own proprietary propriety vortex. Measurable? Quantifiable? Sense of smell. Unh hunh.
The true victims are those who couldn't get baby oil because it was all bought up.
100% Josh! Just because an expert witness has an opinion on evidence… doesn’t mean truth. Look at Ellen Greenberg’s case.. we can all see it wasn’t done by her. But yet based on an “expert’s” opinion, it was. We know prosecutors and defense higher their own experts.. for a reason.
Combs' attorneys have sought to introduce expert testimony, most notable from forensic psychiatrist Dr. Elie Aoun. The goal is for the expert to detail how the alleged effects of substance use may have led to a "diminished" state of mental capacity during the critical periods in question.
If he was beaten up by people at the party why haven’t those people been named?
Diddy will get off, theres no evidence of what they’re accusing him of. The lady will also be found not guilty. Theres too much reasonable doubt.
11:20 if you're over the K Read stuff and want the Diddy stuff
Hes ridiculous. Take accountability no one will ever believe that non sense 😂 my gosh. This is the most pathetic "defense" ive ever heard lol
Free Diddy
🤣🤣 This is A good laugh 🤣🤣 diminished incapacity
So he is not denying it anymore? He is just going to claim. He is mentally disabled. Oh okayyy
12:22 diminished capacity ⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️🙄😂😂😂what a coward..
Um, we do not live in a, “commonwealth”? This is not a democracy. We live in a constitutional republic. This isn’t Britain.
4:41 John’s professional picture is really sad. His uniform is all wrinkly and he has a sloppy beard… he looks like a joke cop
Karen is guilty… the google search’s are the clincher… she pretended she didn’t know he was outside in the snow, though she was inside googling his state of being. Ummm…
You’re one of the better true crime reporters. Thank you for not being irritating.
I'm going to start calling this the John O'Keefe trial. He is the victim. I think both sides are forgetting that. ❤ TY Josh! You're the best!
Have they thought about him slipping and falling and hitting his head and hurt his arm in the process? I dont think she did it or his friends in the house. Everyone was drinking and I think it came down to a terrible accident. Especially with some of the evidence. She had that in her search bar bc she was already looking for him and couldn't find him. He would have to be in the snow somewhere. But if he never entered the house, and there's no evidence of him getting hit by a car. The only other thing that makes sense is him falling and hurting himself.
We should take into affect the fact he's black and do you know of white mogul doing this??
Why you left out drug use😂😂
Yeah cause sane people don't behave like monsters! Try again Didler 😂
He didn't seem very mentally incapacitated when he sexually assaulted Justin Bieber
Sounds like the pedos are covering eachother
Our prez has diminished capacity but are you talking about that? Democracy is in the balance.
Crickets.
The oldest trick in the book.
When you are facing multiple horrendous abuse charges, claim mental incapacity, in attempt minimise his culpability.
Thanks Josh. It’s early on in the 2nd trial but quite a new trial. Big change is Karen’s a new witness against herself this time.
Anything 2 try an get out keep em
How many more lies is P Diddy going to tell. Diminished capacity my A$$. He shoukd never get out of Prison for all he has done to young girls and adult females..😊
Karen read is innocent . Jen mccabe lied to the feds and also to the high court . John wasnt hit by a car those marks on his arm are from a large dog . I have similar marks on my arm from my dog with cuts from nails. Also ojo didnt hit hos head on no ground because injuries to his head and brain can only be done by a blunt instrument coz of the haemorrhages on his brain. Jen said he was still bleeding so did karen a dead body doesnt bleed out
I liked the solo presenter show more than the discussion ones
12:40 p Diddy is gonna b
p!$$ed that it won’t be televised, he’s the one that Always wants to be all up in the video, dancing with costume changes and ish!
Well done for explaining the difference between evidence and expert opinion.. The lindy chamberlain case is a perfect example of that
Diddy will absolutely be found guilty. We haven’t heard all the evidence that will be presented and the feds have a very strong and lengthy track record of success. They just don’t bring about charges like this for lifestyle choices, and parties with willing participants. This will come down to tr@fficking; did he cross people over for the purpose of his proclivities?
I think the diminished capacity claim is a hail mary by his defense because he rejected a plea deal. He’s a guy who has had everything his way for decades and has a great belief in his ability to remain untouchable. I would say, realistically, his overconfidence is his ‘diminished capability’. Diddy isn’t understanding the reality of the likely outcome. I don’t envy his defense counsel. He’s probably going down big.
Karen reed didn’t kill him!
That police dept is corrupt AF!
They need to lock Shay Shay up next!
Real smooth video
P Diddy story at 11:23
I like this show
How can there be "interpretation" of what time the search was made?
Great breakdown !! I think Diddy will be found not guilty on most charges but they want him bad !!!
Wtf? Stop throwing food??😂😂😂
I'd be claiming insanity if I were Puff Daddy's defense too. Probably his only viable defense 😢.
