    At the end of 2024, Once Upon a Crime released a two-part deep dive into The Life and Crimes of Sean Diddy Combs, unraveling the shocking allegations and federal charges facing the music mogul. Since then, the story has only grown more intense. With over 50 civil lawsuits filed and a federal trial set to begin on May 5th, the once-celebrated producer now finds himself at the center of one of the most high-profile legal battles in entertainment history.

    In this week’s episode, we catch up on where the case stands now, what Diddy’s life looks like behind bars, and what we can expect in the courtroom in the weeks ahead.

    Joining me is Brian Buckmire—legal contributor for ABC, co-host of Law and Crime Daily, and host of the new podcast Bad Rap: The Case Against Diddy from 20/20 and ABC Audio. As a former senior staff attorney at The Legal Aid Society and an experienced homicide defense attorney, Brian brings deep legal insight and firsthand courtroom experience to this complicated and ever-evolving case.

    Tune in as we break down the legal landscape, explore the strategies at play, and try to understand the road ahead for one of music’s most powerful—and now controversial—figures.

    Episode highlights:

    • The latest updates in the Diddy case

    • What life is like for him behind bars

    • How civil and criminal charges intersect

Well researched and performed

This is hands down my favorite podcast for a few years now. With a new theme each month the stories don't get boring, as things get shaken up. The performances are top notch and she handles heavy topics with care. I really enjoy how she focuses on the full life story of the victims, and brings in the story of the killers life. Her skill at weaving stories is gripping, and her vice is soothing enough that you can fall asleep to it.

love most of this podcast , all but unsolved ones

please read this Ms Ludlow. this isn't a review, Actually, it's a question. I listened to the first episode in the "till death do is part " series and enjoyed it like always. But now, I REALLY want to listen to the rest of the series and am unable to. Whenever I try to download or just play it from the podcasts list, it says something like, playback failed. it does it on all of this series other then the first episode. plus, they are no longer on the list of all episodes. idky but all of the 170's are missing on the list even though they are still in my episodes tab , but just womt play. any idea why it's doing this??
