Diddy
CNN Destroyed Cassie Video, Protection Claims
Printed
Bombshell within the Diddy prosecution … CNN destroyed the one recognized copy of the 2016 video through which Diddy is seen beating Cassie within the hallway of an L.A. resort … this in keeping with new courtroom paperwork.
Diddy’s protection group and prosecutors filed a joint letter about proof within the case. In line with the protection … CNN bought the video displaying Diddy attacking Cassie within the hallway of the InterContinental Lodge in L.A. The letter claims “CNN purchased the only known copy of the Hotel’s surveillance footage, uploaded that footage into a free editing software, altered the video and then destroyed the original footage, even though it knew about and repeatedly reported about the federal investigation.”

The protection claims CNN altered and edited the footage by “covering the time stamp and then changing the video sequence. It also includes speeding up the video to make it falsely appear that the actions in the video are taking place faster than they are. As a result, the CNN videos do not fairly and accurately depict the events in question.”
The InterContinental Lodge has closed down in that location and we’re informed no different video of the incident exists.

The protection makes it clear … they are going to be submitting a movement to exclude the video from Diddy’s upcoming trial. Diddy isn’t being prosecuted for the beating — that is a state matter and the statute of limitations has run — however prosecutors need to use it to point out Diddy’s alleged violent propensities.
The fact is that this … courts nearly by no means admit video proof the place the video is edited — judges insist on the uncooked footage, so there’s an especially good likelihood this video won’t ever be performed to a jury.
We reached out to CNN … to date, no response. We additionally reached out to the Southern District of New York federal prosecutor’s workplace … they declined to remark.
