we gonna get it soon??
They won't announce a verdict this late in the day.
we gonna get it soon??
the jury is unable to reach a verdict on count 1 (RICO) so the judge is gonna tell them to deliberate until they reach a verdict.
It's almost 5:00pm EST so i I think they'll just end it today and reach a verdict tomorrow
Combs' Agnifilo (after conferring with Combs): Yes.
Judge: OK, email me your proposals, each side. I'll wait. I could give a modified Allen charge, or at some point I could tell them they could return a partial verdict. Email me, I'll wait
what does this mean
what does this mean
A modified Allen Charge is when a judge tells a deadlocked jury to keep deliberating and try to reach a unanimous verdict (without giving up their honest beliefs).
A partial jury is whhen a judge lets a jury decide verdicts on fewer than all of the counts it has to decide.
What are those counts again?
Count 1 - racketeering enterprise
Count 2 - s***trafficking of Cassie
Count 3 - transportation of Cassie or other people for prostitution
Count 4 - s***trafficking of Jane
Count 5 - transportation of Jane or other people for prostitution
If I was on the jury, I'd feel like the state didn't prove some of the charges but he's a piece of s*** anyway so I'd say guilty
Like there's nothing directly linking him to the s*** with Cudi's car but it's obvious he was involved

In the well of the courtroom, everyone but Donaldson is in their seat, waiting. Sean Combs is leaning back, his legal crossed. He does not look happy.

5:01 pm
Judge: I received each side's proposal. Mr. Agnifilo, your proposal, there is not much there.
Combs' Agnifilo: We are not remotely at the place where the jury needs more to deliberate efficiently- they are remarkably efficient. They already have 4 verdicts
Judge: I wouldn't call the Governmet's proposal an Allen charge. It reminds the jury of the instruction I previously gave, on the duty to deliberate. I could simply recite from the jury charge
Uhhhh
Someone smarter than me needs to explain how do you have verdicts on 4 counts but not the rico when the rico essentially includes two of the predicate offenses?
Combs' Agnifilo: We're not at the point yet. I'm not saying we wouldn't be at the point on Thursday July 3 or Monday - let's wait and see. I'm putting stock in that they have reached verdicts on four counts.
Judge: I'm going with that, but I may gave more later

Judge: I'm going with that, but I may gave more later
Judge: I could tell them that they could return on July 3, we could arrange that. What do the parties think?
AUSA Comey: We'd like to give them the option to deliberate on the 3rd.
Combs' Agnifilo: One second, your Honor
Judge: Yes

Everytime we pop out got these b****es nervous! :ariscared:

Combs' Agnifilo: One second, your Honor
Judge: Yes
Combs' Agnifilo: Our preference is that you don't tell them now about Thursday. The downside is that the jurors might feel rushed to reach a verdict to avoid the Thursday issue. Let them deliberate tomorrow, you could ask at the end of tomorrow
Judge: So the defense would have no objection to them deliberating on July 3?
Combs' Agnifilo: No objection, if they want to.
Judge: OK, let's bring back out our jury.
Uhhhh

racketeering requires a conspiracy

Judge: OK, let's bring back out our jury.
Judge: All rise!
[Jurors enter]
Judge: Welcome back. I received your note that you have reached verdicts on Counts 2 through 5. I ask you to continue deliberating. Discuss and weigh your respective opinions dispassionately and follow my instructions on the law.
