The lawyers of Sean Combs, the government, against the upcoming process,

Before Sean Combs' indictment against two replacement charges on Friday, the public prosecutors of the federal prosecutor and the defenders of the combs propose very different schedules for a selection of the jury, since both parties prepare for the May procedure.

The government is trying to start the jury on Monday, April 21, on Monday, April 21st. The sitting jury was able to Rab. (Combs did not know the indictment.) Since the government expected about eight-week court hearings weeks for prosecutors and two to defend-any deviation from this schedule until July 4 on July 4, which in turn could influence the potential jury pool.

“If the court doesn't start [jury selection] Before May 5, 2025, the trial will probably take the holiday on July 4 and create unnecessary additional challenges at the meeting of a jury, ”warned the government's lawyers on Thursday afternoon Arun Subramanian.

However, the COMBS legal team wants the jury to start the jury on May 5. You have recommended that a pool of 600 potential jurors-a large number of people, even for such a top-class case-“complete written questionnaires”. From these 600 questionnaires “the parties would then collect and check the completed questionnaires and submit them for the Cause Challenge”, while both sides transfer the pool to 12 jurors and some alternatives.

The public prosecutor's office rejects the written questionnaire or a questionnaire in general outside of the “logistical”-(ie whether conflict would prevent a juror from sitting for an 8-week legal proceedings, while Combs' team argued that the selection of the jury before May 5th “The essentially before defense in advance” by the “Theexemendus” The preparation of the experiment “and the preparation of the experiment”.

Also in the common letter, the defense lawyers of Combs wrote that they “confirmed by a forensic video analysis” that the surveillance material that physically attacked with combs that his ex-girlfriend Casandra “Cassie” physically attacked was “essentially changed in significant respect”.

“This includes covering the timeline and changing the video sequence. It also includes accelerating the video so that it incorrectly looks that the actions in the video are faster than you are, ”wrote Combs lawyers. “As a result, the CNN videos do not show the events in question.” (A representative for CNN did not answer a request for comment.)

Although the Combs defense team claimed in court files that CNN – after the purchase of the “only known copy” of the surveillance material and the alleged change of the video – “destroyed the original film material, although it knew about the federal investigations and repeatedly reported on the federal investigation,” indicated the public prosecutor, who previously had a different version of the adhesive tape.

In a court hearing on November 22, Christy Slavik, a government lawyer, said that the prosecutors, although they later received a copy of the film material broadcast by CNN, also received access from the “mobile phone camera film material” of the incident from a witness to the Grand Jury.

“The other thing, your honor,” added Slavik. “The telephone camera film material is exactly the same as the CNN video. So I don't think there is a discrepancy in the two videos. ”
