Summary

Today Nancy Grace and Sheryl McCollum break down the jaw-dropping courtroom antics in Diddy's case—think nodding at jurors and asking sketch artists to "soften" his look.

0:17.2	I'm Cheryl McCollum, and you know who's here,
0:26.7	the queen of true crime, Nancy Grace. Hey, honey.
0:33.7	Well, good morning, Ms. Cheryl. You know what? The Big River just keeps on rolling. Every time I look up,
