Sean Diddy s lawyer claims he might not have been mentally capable of crimes due to drug use. Pat and Rob discuss the insanity defense and how it could be used in a case like this. Plus, Rob gives us the inside scoop on Sean Diddy's trial.
00:01:06.520Good for you, this lawyer, for watching Primal Fear.
00:01:10.220One of the greatest movies, in my opinion, of all time, of one of these spin job movies that confuses the shit out of you.
00:01:16.640But let's read this guy here on what he's saying.
00:01:18.600Sean Diddy Combs' legal team argued he may not have been mentally capable of committing crimes due to substantive abuse, prompting prosecutors to file a motion to exclude testimony from psychiatrist Dr. Ellie Owens, stating,
00:01:58.460the crime, but that they did so with a guilty or blameworthy mindset.
00:02:03.380And objected, if a defendant intends to introduce expert evidence related to a mental disease or defect or any other mental condition of a defendant's bearing on the issue of guilt,
00:02:15.100he must provide notice to the U.S. government.
00:02:18.140Tom, when you read this, how do you process this?
00:02:20.340Well, mens rea is how it goes, is the you had the cognizant awareness and ability to reason when you committed the crime.
00:02:35.600So this is where they use the insanity of defense or where you have certain killings and they say moment of insanity, moment of blackout, you know, a horrible thing like that horrible thing we talked about in China.
00:02:53.120Yeah. This man is forced to bury his son alive and they said he gets up incredibly angry, completely freaks out and leaps on a guard with a piece of rope and just chokes him there and you're unable to get him off and do it like that.
00:03:05.580At that moment, he does not have mens rea because he is operating completely outside of himself because of his sheer grief and the horror that he was just subjected to that his mind has snapped and he's not responsible at that moment for having the kind of logic you would have.
00:03:21.500Makes sense. And they're saying basically because of drugs, did he was so out of his mind, apparently for a number of years, over sixty four thousand victims by some counts.
00:03:33.460Right. Allegedly. Right. That he wasn't able to do it.
00:03:38.100This that's right. You know what this is? This is a Hollywood script they're trying to write.
00:03:44.400This is you know what this is, Pat. This is a Hail Mary against the wind in a snowstorm in Buffalo.
00:03:52.420That's what this is. And it's being called out by newspapers that are like.
00:03:57.860And the really the headline should be this, Pat. Is that the best you got?
00:04:02.680Yeah, that's that's your alibi that for a period of years, apparently he had no marbles.
00:04:07.980Yeah. You you want us to believe that? Well, he had some marbles, but I think even the best look, even the best lawyers, best defense lawyers in the world have a hard time putting a defense up when the evidence becomes so compelling and the stack gets higher.
00:04:23.980And I think that's what I suspect that's what's happening here when they have to go to the point that say, oh, he was completely out of his mind doing drugs.
00:04:32.660Really? Which ones? The ones he supposedly committed in New York, the ones he supposedly committed at the VMA Awards, the ones he supposedly committed in L.A.
00:04:40.680Which ones are we talking about? Yeah. So you're telling me he was on drugs for a matter of years and was just so.
00:04:46.340Yeah. Some pletely blotto. It does. Wow.
00:04:49.040This is over. This feels like and I'd love to hear from like like a lawyer, like a Megyn Kelly or people who are lawyers, because I think this is just a Hail Mary.
00:04:58.980And it is like the last item in the box. He's finished. But at the end of the day, I just he is he's never going to see the light of day.
00:05:07.540He's he is everything that we've seen, all the all the people coming forward and everything.
00:05:11.900This like you said, Tom, Hail Mary grasping for straws or now he's mentally.
00:05:15.540So that means, you know what it is? He did all that stuff. He did it.
00:05:18.660Everything that you did. That's what the lawyer is saying. That's what the lawyer is basically saying.
00:05:21.760The lawyer is indirectly saying that he did all the crime. Thank you. Thank you. That's what that says.
00:05:26.860I don't know what the hell is going on with Diddy. They're grasping at straws to do this.
00:05:32.120I've never heard of mens rea. There's probably more of likelihood that he was hanging out in the men's restroom at this point.
00:05:38.360But the and then the whole you're doing drugs. So you don't know what you're doing, buddy.
00:05:44.040I grew up born and raised in the nightlife scene in Miami. I've seen people on cocaine, ecstasy, MDMA, GHB.
00:05:51.960What's the new stuff they're doing these days? To see. That's how you get the whole deal.
00:05:57.060Never once were they like, yeah, I had no idea that I was doing organized crime for years.
00:06:02.640Stop. Yeah. Stop it. Diddy. Stop. Stop it.
00:06:04.940You know, you know what he's going to be doing very soon. If he goes away, he's gone. He's going to be sharing a cell and the guy is going to be singing him.
00:06:33.360No, no. It's called R. Kelly is what it is.
00:06:36.260But you can't screw around with stuff like this, man.
00:06:38.760It's just some stuff you got to just do your best to avoid and not fool around with.
00:06:42.820So this lemon campaign that we launched on Thursday with the box, okay, that was launched.
00:06:47.340That all of you guys, you know, many of you saw, those of you that didn't, this box that's being shipped to people who are going through a lot of different things today to make their day.
00:06:56.020When life gives you lemons, make lemonade with a lemon hat in it and a presentation with a video of me speaking to them, giving them a message here.
