Diddy's Freaky RICO Indictment

[@LegalEagle]

[@dimitri1515]

Can he just get a pass if he returns the key to the city?

[@Harlem55]

The indictment is insufficient. First, a RICO indictment is subject to the heightened pleading standard because it is complex litigation. See, inter alia, Bell Atlantic corp v. Twombly 550 US 544 and Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 US 662. The indictment as presented only pleads merely conclusory allegations, which is fine in an information (e.g. the notice pleading standard) but not in a federal indictment. The indictment as charged therefore fails fourteenth amendment proceedural due process. However, the more troubling thing here is that RICO is correctly read as an enhancement statute because the applicable cannons of construction require that new statutes do not implicitly modify older statutes, such that we do not read RICO to create any new or distinct crime because under the RICO statute as currently enacted into law, that would then require an incorrect reading of an implicit modification of the applicable predicate statutes - something congress would have to explicitly write into the RICO statute, which isnt in the statute as enacted. It therefore follows that Because RICO is an enhancement, The governmemt must first charge and convict upon at least three predicate counts before the RICO count becomes actionable. See Apprendi v. New Jersey 530 US 466. The indictment is therefore due dismissed as a matter of law.

You can plead not guilty and still take full responsability. Not saying diddy is a good guy. If the claims are exatereated you probably shouldnt plead guilty.

[@persaunna]

@DanielOyebade My comment was about silence in violence and how much more prevalent it HAS to be in every single part of life that isn't watched as closely as celebrities lives are. From your comment I can't tell if you're agreeing or trying to make it yet another men vs women vs men argument. So I'll clarify my own statement: Violence under every definition and example we have for it should be called out by every one who witnesses or even knows about it, and no gender is exempted. Further: the fact that it is hidden while these specifically scrutinized people are literally in front of cameras should make everyone aware and angry by how much more these crimes are actually happening and stop deflection, misdirection,.gaslighting and invalidation with statements like "not all men" "women do it too" "the statistics can't be right" "maybe if they dressed proper, spoke nicer, smiled more, were more aware of their surroundings, weren’t alone, didn't look the way they did, didn't wear makeup, didn't act scared, didn'thave an attitude" and "but bears will kill you" for starters.

[@freedomfighter4990]

But most of the women Diddy abused weren't celebs. I had never heard of Thalia Graves, his latest accuser, until a few days ago when she came forward. But she was the gf of someone who worked for Diddy before he drugged her did all that demonic sh*t to her. He always exploited women who depended on him for their livelihood. Which is why he treated J-Lo like a goddess back in the day. She was rich & famous in her own right, so he knew if he even looked at her wrong, she'd step off with the quickness. Diddy never disrespected her beyond cheating on her. Cassie was the only big celeb he abused that I can think of. But all of this makes me wonder about how he treated Kim Porter behind closed doors for all those years,,.

Thank you for grouping all of this information together, If the rest of the population is anything like me, I want nothing more than to read the truth, but that research is flooded with articles and runarounds of most topics. Bias is hard to avoid and it is clear this channel maintains its own bias but at least provides the factual documents to back up ANY claim made. I think everyone is entitled to their own opinion but I especially appreciate the cited documentation.

Why is there a Statute of limitations on rape in the US?! ITS A CRIME THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE A TIME LIMIT ON IT!

[@PraiseTheFSMonster]

Because those laws were created by men. They didn't see it as a big deal and plenty of them were raypists themselves. Marital raype wasn't even against the law until _1993_

[@elizabethparker4511]

Indeed. People who have been raped are broken forever. I still have bad dreams about it even 40 years later. I'm 53.

[@ZT1ST]

Statute of limitations has to do with the possibility of evidence exonerating someone of a crime, including possible witnesses to their alibi, etc. As to why rape has those statute of limitations specifically, I don't know.

[@beagle808]

I don’t know anything about those chickens in 1984 😂😂😂

[@christrombley4590]

Mostly assault charges are state laws rather than federal. The charge that was stated to be past the statute of limitations is the felony assault of Cassie Ventura. In California, where this crime occurred, felony assault has a statute of limitations of three years. In California, the statute of limitations for sexual assault of an adult is 10 years unless there is DNA evidence (in which case there is no statute of limitations). Starting in January 2017, rape has no statute of limitations in the state of California. Another lawsuit, the alleged sexual assault of Derrick Lee Cardillo-Smith in 1997 Detroit, was thrown out because 2nd-4th degree sexual assault in Michigan also has a statute of limitations of 10 years (or the victim's 21st birthday, whichever is later).

​@crakkbone Those brothels are taxed and watched by the state, not run by it.

Hey Devin, could you do a video on Braidwood vs Becerra at some point? I was just at USCHA in NOLA for a work conference and went to a session about this case. It was fascinating and terrifying to hear about the immediate ramifications and potential future ramifications should this fail its SC appeal. I feel like I understand BvB, but the session was connecting it back to the two cases putting the Chevron defense at risk currently (something about fishing regulation). Would love to hear an explanation on that if there’s time as well as how it all connects. I work in the HIV sector, and BvB failing in the SC would have significant ramifications for access to preventative HIV treatment for millions. Not to mention other preventative care for hundreds of millions more. Really something people should know about ahead of the election.
