Roger Bonds Thinks Male Es***ts Will Sue Diddy for Abuse (Part 27) djvlad 2024-06-29 | Watch the full interview now as a VladTV Youtube Member - youtube.com/vladtv/joinPart 26: youtu.be/ZcOjLh9tZ_YPart 1: youtu.be/mqy8vnQumiQ--------Roger Bonds speculated that male sex workers might soon come forward with allegations of abuse against music mogul Diddy. This conversation with Vlad addressed a newly convened federal grand jury, which is investigating a potential indictment against Diddy. According to Bonds, the male escorts could reveal their experiences, similar to how women have previously accused high-profile figures of misconduct. Vlad noted that hiring a sex worker, while generally illegal, typically results in minimal legal consequences. However, he pointed out that the grand jury process is heavily biased towards the prosecution. Evidence and witness testimonies are presented without input from Diddy's defense, meaning prosecutors can continue presenting their case until they secure an indictment. Roger Bonds believes that the testimonies of male sex workers could play a crucial role in this process, potentially validating abuse claims and contributing to an indictment.
Terrance Gangsta Williams on Why 80% of Murders Went Unsolved in 1990s New Orleans (Part 18) djvlad 2024-06-29 | Watch the full interview now as a VladTV Youtube Member - youtube.com/vladtv/joinPart 17: youtu.be/njp6SIrlEZ4Part 1: youtu.be/vJjyK8NM8Ok--------Terrance "Gangsta" Williams recently shed light on why an alarming 80% of murders in 1990s New Orleans went unsolved. According to Williams, one key factor was Louisiana's unique "60-day law," which gives police a limited timeframe to gather evidence and secure an indictment once an arrest is made. In practice, this meant suspects had to be released if the police failed to meet the deadline, although an additional 60 days could sometimes be granted, pushing the total to 120 days. Unlike other states where murder suspects could languish in jail for years awaiting trial, New Orleans' strict timelines favored suspects' release if the evidence wasn’t immediately compelling. This frequent release of suspects due to procedural deadlines disproportionately contributed to the city's low conviction rates. Additional challenges, like witness intimidation and the difficulty of securing reliable testimonies, further complicated efforts to solve homicides, making New Orleans a perilous and often lawless place during that era.
