https://nypost.com/2024/03/30/us-news/diddy-boasted-he-shot-people-used-j-lo-as-gun-mule/
from the nymag article, an actual quote from one of diddy's lawyers using the "jlo is too famous to run with strapped dudes" defense during the trial:
“I don’t know if you know this, judge, but this person Jennifer Lopez is a very famous actress,’’ one lawyer pointed out. “To think Mr. Combs is walking around with her with a loaded gun … it’s so ridiculous that it stretches the imagination.’’
sometimes people really be telling on themselves cause that's exactly what happened. jlo had the gun in her purse before and after the shooting, multiple people saw diddy fire the gun (including the most severely injured victim) and testified to that, diddy bribed people and set his protege up to take the fall (one person testified to that at the time), and diddy bragged to people that he did it and got away with it
in light of the new spotlight on diddy (and the jlo gun information becoming more widely known), Natania Reuben, the victim mentioned above who testified that she saw diddy shoot her IN THE FACE, wants the 1999 shooting case reopened because perjury:
In response, Reuben said, "We all had to go and speak at the grand jury. JLo testified at the grand jury, as did many other people. (The criminal case) needs to be reopened, because if that is in fact the case, she carried the gun in and she lied to the grand jury. It needs to be reopened."
She also alleged that a bouncer at the club didn't allow her to bring a rattail comb into the establishment, meanwhile there were actual weapons.
"Having been shot by someone that was allowed to come in with a gun, when I couldn't bring in a comb, I would absolutely, unequivocally like the case reopened. It needs to be reopened," she said. "And the saddest part for me is had people taken what I said more seriously and listened more intently, 24-years’ worth of people probably would not have had to suffer."
