Hi, everybody. I'm Ashley Banfield. This is Drop Dead Serious. I'm in my summer attire.

That doesn't mean I'm not working hard at like ferreting out what's going on behind the headlines.

And as it turned out, we're not done with the Diddy verdict, even though it was already announced in court.

As it turns out, after Diddy verdict, even though it was already announced in court, as it turns out,

after Diddy left the federal courthouse in Manhattan, he went back to his lockup,

the federal lockup in Brooklyn, and was greeted like a hero. Apparently, according to his lawyer,

Mark Ignifalo, he walked in to the lockup and was greeted with a standing ovation by all the other inmates. And the reason was effectively because the way Mark Agnifalo puts it, the inmate said nobody ever beats the feds.

And they're not wrong.

I will tell you this.

They're not wrong.

Federal court, federal cases,

federal trials is a reason why people say, hey, don't make a federal case out of it. It's because they rarely lose. They rarely take cases unless they know they're going to win. And they have like

a 95 to 98% win rate. So the fact that it's kind of a mixed verdict and not a

big win, yeah, those inmates weren't wrong when they said nobody ever beats the federal

government. However, I don't know if he'll get the same standing O after sentencing. We'll find out

in October. But I did want to tell you something. I was so curious as to where this jury was with sex trafficking and RICO, because I have not made it. I mean, I have not been quiet about it. I have not made any secret about it. I saw it all the way along. By the letter of the law, by the evidence, by the testimony, by the corroboration of the testimony, I saw it many times over. And I had a chance to talk to a

juror, like super exciting. His name is George. He will not give his last name. He was in the original

panel of 18 that sat through every piece of the trial. All of them thought they were going to be on the

panel, on the 12 deliberating juror's panel. And in the end, when it came time for deliberation, the judge actually picked

12 out of the 18. So George did not deliberate with the other panel, but that's why he could talk

to me. And oh my God, wow, did I ever learn a lot? I think you will too, specifically when I really drill down

on the arcane parts of the law and what the jury got out of the presentation of the case
