The protection makes it clear … they are going to be submitting a movement to exclude the video from Diddy’s upcoming trial. Diddy is just not being prosecuted for the beating — that is a state matter and the statute of limitations has run — however prosecutors wish to use it to indicate Diddy’s alleged violent propensities.
The truth is that this … courts nearly by no means admit video proof the place the video is edited — judges insist on the uncooked footage, so there’s a particularly good likelihood this video won’t ever be performed to a jury.
We reached out to CNN … to date, no response. We additionally reached out to the Southern District of New York federal prosecutor’s workplace … they declined to remark.
