0:00.0 | This is On Trial, a special series from Dateline True Crime Weekly, bringing you daily coverage from the Sean Combs racketeering trial. |
0:09.3 | He has pleaded not guilty to all the charges against him. I'm Andrea Canning, and it's Thursday, May 29th. |
0:16.7 | Just a heads up in this episode, we're going to be talking about some graphic details and harrowing subject matter. |
