Happened in court. I think a lot of us were not surprised about at all. So he was found not guilty of the racketeering charge. He was found not guilty of the trafficking. What he was found guilty of was the prostitution stuff, which after yesterday, right? And mind y' all, you talking about that racketeering charge, right? He would. He would have been in jail for the rest of his life if he had been convicted of that. Now, yesterday, when they were trying to figure out how they were going to instruct the jury and Diddy's team was arguing heavily, right? They're like, look, we just need to give this jury more time. We don't want them to be pressured. We don't. We don't want to be involved too much. Like, we just want to give them more time. The reason why Diddy's team was so against the Allen charge, and the Allen charge is basically something where a judge is able to say to the jury, like, look, if. If we have to retry this again, there's going to be no jury that is smarter than you. Basically, like, we're gonna have to do this all again, and they gonna get the same evidence. So we need y' all to figure this out. Diddy's team was so Adam yesterday that they did not. Y' all was getting crazy outside of court because everybody's coming out. Diddy's team was adamant yesterday that they did not want that to happen, because I think yesterday they knew we have a really good shot if they've come to this decision as quickly as they had based on everything they've seen. And the one issue that they're having is the RICO charge that Diddy's team has been arguing. The main thing the government did not prove. Well, I think they had that feeling. But still, he was nervous as hell yesterday, today, when. When. When. When they decided and they announced what he was acquitted on, when I tell y' all, he was so thankful. He's looking at the jury in their face. He's thanking them like you can't hear him, but he's audibly thanking them. He's prager hands. He's everything. Now they're arguing about whether Diddy is going to walk out of the courtroom today. They're waiting right now. The judge said by one o' clock he wants both sides to submit. Now, here's what his attorneys are asking Right. So his attorney, Mark Agnefilio, stands up and he's like, listen, he's only charged with the prostitution, right? And because he's only been charged with the prostitution, I'm not saying that this isn't serious, right? Like transportation to engage in prostitution. I'm not saying that this is not serious on a federal level and that federal charges aren't serious. But what I'm saying is that this is far less than what he was actually accused of all together, right? He should be able to go home. If you look back the jury, if you look back in the. The audience right now, his family is here. There's so much of his family members here. Any one of them, any two of them, any five of them right now could put up a bond for his release for him to be able to go home right now. Mark Agnifilio said, look, we already took possession of his passport. We have physical possession of his passport right now. We found out last night, just in preparation for if this happened, right? We found out last night that his jet, his plane that he owns, right, is in Maui. It's been chartered. He does not have access to his plane. They can he go and stay at his house in Miami, in Star island and just be under different conditions, basically, like, we will watch him. The court can watch him. The court can tell us what to do. But he should be able to go home right now. And. And not only did they put the pressure on, he should be able to go home right now. His attorneys also said, and we need to decide it today while his family and everyone who has taken their time to be here are in court today, right now. They asked for the bond to be a million dollars. And again, again, they. Y' all, it's getting crazy out here. So many people outside. I'm going to show you guys outside. They asked for. They asked for it to be done today because they kept reiterating, anybody here right now on his. On in his family can put up that brine. This needs to be done today. So the judge said, listen, let me see what the government has to say. And based on what the government has to say, we can kind of go from there. Like, let me see how they're feeling. So the government, they stand up and they're pissed. They're like, no, he should not go home. Because, number number one, we've heard about instances where he's committed crimes and been violent to people involved in this case, even after he was under very public scrutiny, right? So he's like, for instance, with Jane, Jane testified that they got into this, this, this physical altercation, right, that happened once everything had been announced, once his house had been raided. Houses have been raided. He has no, they literally said he has no regard for the government. He has no. He does what he wants to do. We've about all of the drugs. They even talked about the day of his actual arrest in New York. The government said, listen, did y' all forget that the day he was arrested in New York he had tons of drugs in his hotel room? He had all of the supplies set up in his hotel room to do this exact act, the exact act that he was actually found guilty of. He was, he was waiting to do it the day he was arrested. No, he should not go home. It makes no sense that the court should uphold this. He is a danger to people. He is a danger basically to himself. He is not going to be a. Able to abide by whatever rules, whatever regulations we set. It makes no sense. So his attorneys then stand back up and well, no, first the judge is like, well okay look, I want you guys to put all this stuff in a letter. We'll take a look at the letters by 1:00 clock and then we'll come back and we'll have a conversation about it. Because the judge did say, I do think that this is only fair and it's something that I will do. We'll decide on this today while everyone is here. But I want to give you guys some time because you know, to be fair, the government wasn't fully prepared to argue back against it. They did the best that they could and they made their points. They did, they talked a lot about what we've been talking about from the beginning. Diddy's disregard for just the, just the laws in general. Like, you know, there, there was allegations that he was contacting witnesses. At one point, again he was arrested. There were freak off supplies, supplies in his hotel room which we saw in evidence. And, and the government kept pointing back to that. All of the things that happened even after he was under this major public scrutiny because the federal indictment had dropp saw evidence of him blatantly disregarding the law in the courts. It doesn't make any sense. So at one o' clock there should be these letters submitted by both the prosecution and by Diddy's attorneys stating their sides on him receiving a bond today. The judge is a very like, he's young and he's very like. To the point the judge says, so wait, Mark Agnifilio, are you saying to me that you want Mr. Combs to be able to walk out of this courthouse right now.

And he wasn't even saying that as far as like, are you crazy? Because this man gonna do what he want to do. He was saying it like, can you understand the logistics and the mayhem that that will cause y' all? Yesterday, me and Armand Wiggins, we were out here, we recorded, and I didn't even get a chance to put up my content from yesterday because it was just so much. But I'm gon want to make sure we run through all that content. Thank you. We were out here recording, and I said yesterday, based on how that, that those, you know, the four counts and the. The decision on the four counts and the confusion or the split decision on the RICO came down. I was like, it's possible that he. He'd be able to walk because if. If they only get him on the lesser things, it's like, what are you holding him for? He'll come back for sentencing. Mark Agnifilio made. Made a point that made a lot of sense. Once all this closed, he said, I have one more. Think about it like this. This man was about to lose his life. Talking about Diddy mind y' all the whole time. When I tell y' all the whole time Diddy's in there, like, thank you to the judge. He's praying. You see his. His sons, like, Christian. I saw Christian kiss his girlfriend. They doing stuff like this. Like, everybody is feeling like, man, we'll. We'll take that's all y' all giving us. We'll take it because it could have been way worse. Mark Agnifilio Diddy's lead attorney is like, he could have lost his life to this court. The jurors gave him another chance at life. He would be a fool. He would be a blatant fool. And he is not that to disregard that. So he put that on the court record and now they submit these letters. I think if his team can put a strong enough letter to get letter to gay letter together today, I would not be surprised if he is released now. How they're going to figure out logistics, which was a big part of the judge's concern, because as you can imagine, it's going to be mayhem out here. It's going to be crazy. If he is released today. I wouldn't be surprised if he is, though. They're on the list. I know the government is like, man, we wasted our time and our resources. So here's, here's how it went down. So yesterday when we left court, the jury said, look, we are together. We've decided on four counts. There is one count that we cannot come together on because we have people strongly on both sides. That was the RICO when that happened yesterday. Right. So in, in court yesterday, Diddy was like, when I say he was stuck, he was very emotional yesterday. Just stuck. Tini Garagos, who's been one of his lead attorneys as well, she was in court crying today.

Podcast Summary: "Live with NBC Trial Update: Diddy's Verdict is Read"
The Latest with Loren LoRosa
Release Date: July 2, 2025
In this episode of "The Latest with Loren LoRosa," the hosts delve into the high-profile trial of Diddy, discussing the recent verdict and its implications. The conversation provides an in-depth analysis of the court proceedings, the arguments presented by both the prosecution and Diddy's defense team, and the potential outcomes following the verdict.
The episode opens with Speaker A providing a concise breakdown of the courtroom developments. At [00:15], Speaker A states:
"So he was found not guilty of the racketeering charge. He was found not guilty of the trafficking. What he was found guilty of was the prostitution stuff..."
This highlights that while Diddy was acquitted of the more severe racketeering and trafficking charges, he was convicted on charges related to prostitution.
The discussion moves to the defense team's strategy and their stance during the trial. Speaker A explains the defense's reluctance to allow an Allen charge, which encourages the jury to reach a unanimous decision, at [02:30]:
"...Diddy's team was so adamant yesterday that they did not want that to happen, because I think yesterday they knew we have a really good shot if they've come to this decision as quickly as they had based on everything they've seen."
Despite their confidence, the prosecution maintained their case, leading to a split decision on the RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) charge.
Diddy's emotional response to the verdict is a focal point. At [04:15], Speaker A recounts:
"When I tell y' all, he was so thankful. He's looking at the jury in their face. He's thanking them like you can't hear him, but he's audibly thanking them. He's praying hands. He's everything."
This moment underscores Diddy's gratitude towards the jury for their decision, despite the mixed outcome of the trial.
Following the verdict, the conversation shifts to the potential for Diddy's release on bond. Speaker A details the arguments presented by Diddy's attorney, Mark Agnefilio, at [05:20]:
"Look, he should be able to go home. If you look back the jury, if you look back in the audience right now, his family is here... Any one of them... could put up a bond for his release for him to be able to go home right now."
Agnefilio emphasized that the charges Diddy was convicted of were significantly lesser than those initially brought against him, advocating for his immediate release pending sentencing.
The prosecution remained firm in their stance against releasing Diddy on bond. Speaker A summarizes their position at [05:50]:
"No, he should not go home. Because, number one, we've heard about instances where he's committed crimes and been violent to people involved in this case... He is a danger to people. He is a danger basically to himself."
The prosecution cited past behaviors and the severity of the initial charges to argue against granting bond, emphasizing concerns over Diddy's potential disregard for legal stipulations.
The judge's role in adjudicating the bond request is discussed in detail. At [06:30], Speaker A notes:
"The judge is very like, he's young and he's very like. To the point the judge says, so wait, Mark Agnefilio, are you saying to me that you want Mr. Combs to be able to walk out of this courthouse right now."
The judge requested both the defense and prosecution to submit their final arguments in writing by 1:00 PM, indicating a thorough consideration of the case before making a decision on the bond.
The emotional impact of the trial on those involved is palpable. Speaker A reflects on personal interactions outside the courtroom at [09:00]:
"Tini Garagos, who's been one of his lead attorneys as well, she was in court crying today."
This moment captures the human side of the legal battle, highlighting the stress and emotional strain experienced by Diddy's legal team and family members.
As the episode wraps up, the hosts express their anticipation for the judge's decision on the bond request. Speaker A speculates:
"I think if his team can put a strong enough letter to get letter to gay letter together today, I would not be surprised if he is released now."
The episode leaves listeners with a sense of uncertainty regarding Diddy's immediate future, emphasizing the judicial process's complexity and the high stakes involved.
