An adage passed on to aspiring trial lawyers in law schools
To give them access to useful winning trial tools:
“If you have the facts on your side argue the facts; if you
have the law argue the law
If you have neither the facts nor the law, pound on the
table and claim your opponent’s case is flawed
Once an A-list rapper P.J. Diddy was arrested and charged
with racketeering
conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
And has been
held without bail to prevent his coercing victims and witnesses to change their
testimony to avoid a guilty verdict sought by the prosecution
For the third time Diddy’s lawyers have filed motions to allow Diddy to post a
$50 million bail bond which the prosecution objected given his past attempts to
witnesses coerce
The judge took the matter under advisement and required
briefs to determine whether his prior denials of bail should be reversed
Like the Sun that rises in the East and sets in the West
His lawyers are now arguing that racism is behind the arrests
Table not pounded but the worn out racism card apes the
pounding of the table
This rapper has a history of violence and with long prison
time at stake racism seems more like a fable
6 more months in jail on suicide watch before trial trumps
probable coercing of witnesses
Hopefully the jury is sequestered to prevent Diddy operatives
from causing them verdict altering stresses
