Lauren Johnson-Norris on @knxnews discussing the Sean P Diddy Combs case

Summary: This page covers Transcript.

Transcript

[Speaker 1]

The only non-stop news for LA and Orange County.

[Speaker 2]

KNX, KNX FM and HD Los Angeles.

[Speaker 1]

SoCal’s only 24-7 connection.

[Speaker 2]

The big story on KNX News 97.1 FM. Now, Sean Diddy Combs, music mogul in court in New York, facing numerous criminal charges could put him in prison for the rest of his life. He was indicted and arrested on charges including racketeering, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution.

The feds say Combs ran a criminal enterprise through his businesses. They also say he used violence, threats of violence as well as verbal, emotional, physical and sexual abuse to fulfill his sexual desires.

[Speaker 3]

This is going to be one of the biggest cases we’ve seen in a decade. A high profile figure, the stakes just couldn’t be higher. Allegations are extremely serious, heinous in nature and we can expect a battle all the way to the end on this one.

There’s not going to be any deal. This is going to trial just like R. Kelly, just like Weinstein.

It’s going all the way to the box.

[Speaker 2]

Defense attorney Lauren Johnson Norris agrees that witnesses could come forward to say they weren’t forced to do anything.

[Speaker 1]

I expect this will also involve quite a few witnesses because we were talking about right parties, kind of this environment where several people were there. And if it’s a conspiracy, other people participated. So I would expect some of those people may be cooperating against him.

In terms of a defense, he may argue that those people are trying to get themselves out of trouble or maybe they were involved in crimes and he wasn’t or he wasn’t fully aware of what was going on. It’s going to be a real challenge for him if he’s got a lot of people testifying against him to support these charges.

[Speaker 2]

And Johnson Norris says it can be tricky for a defense attorney to represent a very high profile and wealthy client.

[Speaker 1]

So it requires a lot of savvy dealing with difficult personalities and then also making sure to protect as best we can a celebrity or famous person’s reputation. So all of that sort of goes into the fold. I’ve experienced that in cases as well.

And it’s not easy. It takes a certain type of lawyer to be able to handle it.

[Speaker 2]

Combs attorney says his client innocent will fight these charges.

Criminal Defense FaQ

What immediate steps will you take to protect my rights?

We provide immediate crisis command by reviewing the allegations against you and intervening with law enforcement to prevent further exposure. From the moment you retain the Firm, we act as your shield, managing all communications and executing a decisive strategy to protect your liberty and reputation.

We prioritize discretion and exposure management. We understand that a public allegation can be as damaging as a conviction; therefore, our strategy focuses on minimizing the visibility of your case while challenging the prosecution’s narrative to preserve your standing in the community.

We begin by meticulously reviewing the allegations to determine if the conduct even constitutes a crime under the law. We then scrutinize the prosecution’s evidence against the highest standard — proof beyond a reasonable doubt. By analyzing the “who, what, when, where, and how,” we identify the natural questions a jury will have, allowing us to build an expert strategy that derails the prosecutor’s narrative.
