Like what?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tJudy Sanchez:<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tIt\u2019s a lot to take in. Like, racketeering is a very serious charge, but so is domestic violence. So to sort of brush that under the rug, and especially with Cassie knowing that she\u2019s taking the stand pregnant, I don\u2019t know, the optics are very intense. You know, it was, it was a lot of intense, graphic news coming from the Diddy trial this morning.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tTetris Kelly:<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tI mean, it\u2019s so interesting that you phrase it that way, because I think sex trafficking, racketeering, it\u2019s like, and there\u2019s been all this evidence that\u2019s been in the media, what would your argument be to defend Diddy at this point?<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tStefanie Tanaka:<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tYeah. I mean, I\u2019m not sure there\u2019s much. He\u2019s gonna try to save his a\u2013, I\u2019m sure. But, you know, I don\u2019t know how you can, I mean, your crimes are bad enough. I don\u2019t know if there\u2019s much. I mean, the lawyers are gonna do their jobs because they\u2019re lawyers, but I don\u2019t know, like, if there\u2019s any way he could really get out of it. I mean, they\u2019re pretty serious.
