You’ll learn how powerful men target, love bomb, groom and

In the case of the USA v. Sean Combs, the jury returned a shocking verdict on Wednesday 2nd July after just over two days of deliberating. Eight men and four women found Combs not guilty on the more serious charges he faced and guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.

Laura is joined by criminal defense attorney and ABC Legal Contributor, Brian Buckmire, who has been in court every day of the trial. Laura and Brian unravel what went wrong for the prosecution, what went right for the defense, what needs to change to hold powerful men accountable for abusing women, and they share their thoughts on the future sentencing of now twice convicted felon, Combs.

This conversation and series takes you inside the case against Diddy, the justice system which was created by men to protect men and what needs to happen to ensure justice works for women. Listen and take action. Your voice matters.
