Deputy: In the matter of USA v. Combs, how do you find the defendant, Sean Combs, for count one, racketeering conspiracy?

 

Juror 5: Not guilty. 

 

There’s a small gasp from Diddy’s two rows of friends and family. 

 

Deputy: As for sex trafficking of Casandra Ventura, how do you find the defendant?

Juror 5: Not guilty.

 

Someone from the same section of the gallery says “yeah!!” It was quiet but in the tension of the courtroom it is clear that everyone heard it. His kids have broken into smiles, happily nodding. 

 

Deputy: Transportation for purposes of prostitution related to Casandra Ventura?

 

Juror 5: Guilty.

 

There’s no reaction. 

 

Deputy: As for sex trafficking of Jane, how do you find the defendant?

Juror 5: Not guilty.

 

Teny Geragos tightly grips Sean Combs’s hand across the table as the defense team exchanges positive looks.

 

Deputy: Transportation for purposes of prostitution related to Jane? 

Juror 5: Guilty.

 

As the entire courtroom stands and watches the jury leave, Combs continues to nod and clasp his hands in prayer directed towards the jurors; a silent ‘thank you.’

 

Basically the moment the jury walk out of the room, Marc Agnifilo, Sean Combs's lead defense attorney immediately petitions the Judge.

 

Judge: Are you proposing he just walk outside now?

Agnifilo: Yes…

The Moment Diddy Finds Out He’s “Not Guilty” On Major Charges

She is one of Sean Combs’s latest girlfriends. She was dating Sean Combs when Cassie Ventura’s lawsuit went public. She was in the room with him when he found out that CNN had just released the hotel video of him assaulting Cassie. AND - she had plans to visit Sean Combs in New York City, on the very trip that he was arrested on. 

Jane Doe. 

Testifying under a pseudonym. 

There are so many questions that the prosecution, defense, and even the public have for her. 

Such as - what happened during her relationship?

What was Sean Combs’s reaction to the hotel video being released?

Were her experiences similar to Cassie’s?

But the most interesting question in the courtroom is - why is Sean Combs still paying for her attorney?

And - what does that mean for the case?

Ex-GF Calls Diddy "Bi-Curious" & Details 48 Hr Nightmare "Freak Off" Right Before His Arrest

During a sidebar for the case of USA v. Sean Combs - the judge tells the defense attorneys:

 

“Well, that is victim blaming. That is literally that's like if you had a dictionary that had a term victim blaming, like that would be the explanation that you'd be given, so it can't be that. It has to be something else.”

 

He clarifies that they themselves are not victim blamers; however, some of their questions could not be accepted in open court for their rather victim blaming nature.

 

He has said what netizens have been thinking for months now.

 

Netizens have been wondering for months -

 

Who is on trial here? Sean Combs or the victims?

 

Every single text message and every intimate detail of these women’s lives have been brought up in court.

 

They are being subjected to days and 20+ hours of brutal testimony. Their pasts are being dug up online - while Sean Combs has a growing line of fans waiting to get into the courtroom to support him. We are nearing the end of the trial and it feels like nobody really knows how this will end.

Diddy's Team: Jane Threw 1st Punch When She KNEW He Was Violent - Judge Calls Out Victim Blaming

She was rushing to the emergency room - her 5-year-old son was in the back. Every minute could mean life or death. He had been having seizures all day. 

But before entering the hospital she stood over her suffering son and took a picture.

What would she caption this one? Maybe she would mention how this was going to be his 13th surgery. Yeah, that would be good. The followers would eat that up.

#93: The Mommy Blogger Killer (Case of Lacey Spears)

“I’m going to use the restroom real quick.”

Jia’s husband opens his eyes and looks at his phone. It’s 1AM. The two of them are on an overnight train heading home. He blinks before ripping his blanket off to escort his wife - 

“No, it’s okay. I have my phone with me. Just stay here. I’ll be back quick.”

She leaves for the restroom - careful to not wake up any of the other passengers in the sleeper carriage. She climbs down the bunk bed steps and balances through the aisle to the restroom. 

BAM. Jia’s husband eye’s fly open and he checks the time. 1:30AM. It’s been thirty minutes and his wife is not back from the restroom. Strange… 

He searches the entire carriage before alerting the train conductor… 

“Please you have to help my wife is missing!”

The train conductor smiles at him.

“Don’t be ridiculous. Nobody goes missing on a moving train.”

#365: His Wife Vanished On A Moving Train - Everybody On Train Is A Suspect

A man is laying face first, unconscious in his living room. Alyssa and Vanessa are standing over him. Alyssa reaches for the zip ties and binds his ankles together, three zip ties thick. Vanessa on the other hand is terrified. She’s screaming in her head to ‘STOP! This needs to stop! It’s taking things too far!’ But the words won’t come out; the only thing she can do is wait for a moment when Alyssa looks away—then Vanessa dives for the scissors. She cuts the zip ties off his ankles.

“NO!” Alyssa forces Vanessa aside and reties his ankles and his wrists. Vanessa lost her chance. She can only watch helplessly as Alyssa yields a massive hunting knife and sends it plunging into the man’s neck. Then she begins sawing—back and forth. They watch the blood soak into the carpet.

Police would later find the victim, Harold Sasko, and announce that his suspected killer was a 19 year old girl named Sarah.

However this episode is NOT Harold’s story. Neither Alyssa’s, nor Vanessa’s. This is the case of Sarah McLinn, diagnosed with DID, and the many, many people who believe she should be free.

#367: Girl With Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) Kills Her "Abuser"

Somi doesn’t normally go through her husband’s things, but their house has been so cluttered, she’s going to lose her mind. From the back of their closet, she comes across old VHS tapes and a VHS player that she doesn’t recognize. Home movies, old memories? She pushes the tape in and presses play.

The screen lights up. It’s a bed and two naked bodies. Her husband… and another girl laying next to him. There are words written all over both of their bodies in thick marker, words like ‘Prince’ and ‘King.’

Then Somi sees the blood.

The girl has a long slice down her private area; she’s bleeding, trembling, completely terrified. The male—her husband’s voice—snaps at the girl, “Endure it even if it hurts.” Then he proceeds to SA her. Somi is frozen—but her mind is in overdrive—she can’t shake the feeling that she knows the girl—she can’t place a name but she recognizes the girl’s face.

It was the same one on the missing posters in town.

The girl in the video was the little, 8-year-old girl that had gone missing a year ago.

#368: Wife Found a Missing Girl’s Torture Film On Her Husband’s VHS Camera

3 people are sitting at a table in a diner. Miriam, a middle aged woman sits stiffly, and across from her are two young men. One of them fiddles with a radio; a police scanner. He leans towards Miriam as if they’re sharing a secret across the table.

“Your daughter smoke weed or something?” She gives him a look. Radio man continues, “I mean… she’s just so relaxed. Easy to deal with which is good. I like that. That’s why I want to let her go… for a price.”

He tells Miriam that he will convince his boss to spare her daughter from a torturous death for $2k USD cash. Miriam suppresses a smile; she has to play along or else everything she’s planned will fall apart.

Her daughter Karen had been kidnapped by one of the most dangerous cartels in all of Mexico and Miriam knew that nobody gets taken by that cartel and gets out alive. She also knew that she would not stop until she took every single member out for what they had done to her family.

#369: Mom Hunted Down 10 Cartel Members For Killing Daughter - Real Life “Taken”

A church in South Carolina has gone viral recently--even making national headlines. A young pastor by the name of JP is caught on a recorded sermon saying:

“One day I’m going to preach about getting rich, strong, healthy, and finding a hot wife that loves Jesus!” 

The congregation laughs awkwardly because on his left hand ring finger is a wedding band—he’s already married—but he won’t be for much longer. 

Just a few weeks later, Pastor JP’s wife—14 years younger than him—is found face down, submerged in a marsh, an entire state away. 

Just four days after that, the media reports that Pastor JP was drinking at a bar with a woman thought to be his mistress. 

This is the ongoing investigation into the tragic death of Mica Francis Miller.

#370: Toxic Pastor Humiliates Wife In Sermon, She Leaves Him, Then Found Mysteriously Dead In River

There’s this fascinating little town called ‘Little Japan.’ It’s a gated community with cookie-cutter houses, though they boast beautiful chandeliers and heated floors, and all of them have a matching set of priceless portraits hanging on their walls.

The residents are nine Japanese families, hence the name, and they have their own private chefs, maids, even chauffeurs in black Mercedes. A small movie theater, a massive sauna house, and a grocery store where they never have to pay. The catch? If they ever want to leave the community ‘gates,’ they must ask for permission from the Supreme Leader… The town itself is not even an hour outside of North Korea’s capital.

The families themselves are neither Japanese nor North Korean royalty, nor are they diplomats or even government officials either.

They’re a gang of hijackers. Hijackers who stole a plane and flew it into North Korea—and now the distinguished guests of the Kim regime were to become his secret weapon.
