Diddy Prosecutors Plan To Use 911 Call From Burglary During Trial

Diddy is a few weeks away from his trial for racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and more alleged crimes, and another piece of the prosecution’s strategy has been revealed online. They plan to use the audio from a 2011 phone call to 911 detailing how the 55-year-old artist allegedly broke into one of his victims’ homes in Los Angeles.

“Because this call was made shortly after discovering the break-in… Individual 2’s statements are nevertheless admissible because they were made close in time to when he observed the break-in at his home,” AllHipHop reported via Acting U.S. Attorney Matthew Podolsky. Per the prosecution, the phone call conveys the alleged victim’s mental state and point to the Bad Boy co-founder running a full criminal operation.

The government also plans to have the controversial mogul’s former employees testify against him, as well as introduce text messages and phone recordings as evidence of his misconduct. The prosecution believes this will prove that his former employees were forced to work for him and aid his criminal enterprise.

“At trial, the Government anticipates introducing multiple statements made by the defendant’s employees,” Matthew Podolsky added. “Those statements will be offered as exhibits (including text messages sent by the defendant’s employees and recordings of the defendant’s employees), as well as through the testimony of witnesses. These statements cover a variety of different topics, but they all center around the employees’ core job responsibilities of serving the defendant.”

Another element of the prosecution’s strategy is requesting that the court restrict Diddy from using prior statements until they meet specific legal exceptions. Their hope is the defense cannot use anything that will alter how his character is viewed, or suggest that the charges against him are related to anything political or retaliatory.

Diddy’s trial will begin on May 5, adding a new chapter to a long and difficult journey for both the rapper and his alleged victims. His ex-girlfriend, Cassie, will take the stand and will testify using her real name, as opposed to testifying anonymously. She has been a key aspect of this entire ordeal as she filed the first rape lawsuit against the “Last Night” artist in November 2023, and footage surfaced of him assaulting her in 2016 last May.
