My Oct. 24 views--with @cnn.com host @kaitlancollins.bsky.social & fellow guest @elliotwilliams.bsky.social--about the Eastern District of Virginia ("sacred ground"), where I worked for many years. With Jim Comey & Letitia James indictments, they are tearing it down like East Wing of White House.

On Oct. 3, I discussed 50 month sentence for #Diddy on @cnn.com @lauracoates.com. The 7 hour hearing included 5 defense attorneys speaking & playing 11 minute pro-#Diddy video. Invoking Charles Dickens' 1859 famous book, the video--compared to tawdry evidence--reminded me of "A Tale of Two People."

My September 26 comments on @courttvlive.bsky.social with hosts Judge Ashley Willcott and Matt Johnson. As my late mother Alma used to say, you can even overeat on a good Italian dish; in other words, too much dry data-driven evidence can put a jury to sleep.

My June 5 “Diddy” trial comments on his staring at jury & USA’s redirect after RICO witness crumbles on cross exam. Host Laura Coates @thelauracoates CNN called me & fellow guests Ben Chew (Johnny Depp counsel) & @MoniquePressley a “Powerhouse Legal Team.” All I do is carry their bags as a “Gofer”.

The "Punchline" of a key prosecution witness (e.g., cellphone expert in murder trial) should be clear as a bell for the jury. My comments on May 20 with @CourtTV Host Judge Willcott @AshleyCourtTV on #KarenReadTrial2.
