Diddy’s Defense Team Files Motion for Mistrial Amidst Serious Allegations

On Saturday, June 7, Diddy’s attorney, Alexandra Shapiro, submitted crucial court documents, as reported by X user and podcaster Lauren Conlin. The filed paperwork reveals that the defense is seeking a mistrial, claiming that the prosecution has knowingly presented “materially false” testimony from both Cassie and Bryana concerning an incident where Diddy allegedly dangled Bryana over a 17-story balcony at Cassie’s Los Angeles apartment. This serious accusation raises questions about the integrity of the prosecutorial process and the validity of the evidence being presented.

The altercation is said to have occurred in September 2016. However, Diddy’s legal team firmly disputes these claims, arguing:

“The government has presented testimony that it knew or should have known was materially false… Thus, to prevent an unjust conviction, we urge the Court to grant a mistrial.”

Critical Examination of Bryana’s Testimony Regarding the Alleged Incident Date

On Day 16 of the trial, Bryana took the witness stand, asserting that shortly after Diddy unexpectedly arrived at Cassie’s apartment on September 24, 2016, he allegedly became physically aggressive. She detailed her intent to light marijuana when Diddy supposedly threw her over the balcony railing and later hurled her onto patio furniture, resulting in injuries. In response, Diddy’s attorney challenged the timeline, arguing that the incident could not have occurred on that date since Diddy was not present in Los Angeles during that time.

Evidence from court records indicates that he was in New York City, residing at the Trump Hotel from September 24-29, 2016. Furthermore, he was scheduled to perform at a Bad Boy reunion tour in Newark during that time, further supporting his alibi. The defense contends that the prosecution allowed the jury to hear Cassie and Bryana’s testimonies to portray Diddy as a “dangerous man,” which raises concerns about the fairness of the proceedings.

Scrutiny of Cassie and Bryana’s Testimonies: Credibility at Stake

During her testimony, Cassie claimed to have witnessed Diddy holding Bryana over the balcony, as documented in the legal filings made by Diddy’s defense team. Cassie stated, “I saw him bring her back over the railing of the balcony and then throw her onto the patio furniture.” However, Diddy’s defense team presented text messages wherein the ‘Me & U’ singer acknowledged that she only heard about the incident from third parties, not through direct observation. Despite being confronted with these texts, Cassie maintained her stance, insisting, “I saw what I saw.”

The defense continued to scrutinize the case, turning their focus to Bryana’s testimony, which also faced significant challenges. Bryana claimed that Diddy held her over a 42-inch railing, with her feet dangling off the balcony, causing her considerable bruising and pain. However, Diddy’s team argues that such a feat would be physically impossible due to his height and build, casting doubt on her account. Additionally, Bryana’s ongoing $10 million lawsuit against Diddy raises concerns about her motivations, leading the defense to suggest she may have exaggerated her claims.

Emerging Evidence: Photos of Bryana’s Alleged Injuries Presented in Court

As the trial progressed, prosecutors introduced images purportedly depicting Bryana’s injuries, including a significant bruise on her leg that she attributed to the incident in question. Bryana testified that she took these pictures on the same day as the alleged altercation. When questioned about the source of her bruise, she maintained that it resulted from being thrown onto the furniture during the incident.

Images published by TMZ on Saturday, June 7, showcase the alleged injuries on Bryana’s body, drawing attention to her neck and back, which appeared to be partially covered with bandages and patches. Additionally, there were indications that she was wearing a pain relief collar around her neck, further emphasizing the seriousness of her claimed injuries. Thus far, neither Cassie nor Bryana has publicly responded to the ongoing developments in the case.
