CBS News Correspondent and CBS Weekend anchor Jericka Duncan was recently given the task to cover the the trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs. Her assignment puts her at the courthouse and in the courtroom every day of the trial so she has a front row seat to all of the action happening in and outside of the courtroom.

This week, Jericka sits down with friends of the pod Judie Saunders and Steve Greenberg.

Saunders leads sexual abuse and human trafficking department of the law firm, Ask LLP. She has more than twenty years of experience litigating cases involving sexual abuse, sexual harassment, and discrimination. She delves into the verdict of the case against Sean Combs, exploring the complexities of the case, the reactions from various stakeholders, and the implications for future legal proceedings. Saunders provides insights into the challenges of proving sex trafficking, the role of evidence, and the community's response to the trial, the potential impact of the verdict on the justice system and the future of Combs himself.

Greenberg is a defense attorney with many years of experience of experience in high-profile cases, most prominently when he represented R. Kelly in his state and federal case. Greenberg would eventually leave Kelly’s team at the start of his RICO case in New York. Greenberg explores the implications of the jury's decision, the burden of proof in civil cases, and the complexities of relationships within legal contexts. He also reflects on the trial experience, the expectations for sentencing, and the broader implications for the justice system.

This may the end of the Diddy Trial, but, the I Am That Reporter podcast will be back with more in-depth stories and news coverage, so stay subscribed and stay tuned. We'll see you soon!
