An AP discussion on the courts, lawyers and testimony inside the Diddy, Weinstein and Mangione cases

Julie Walker, AP radio correspondent: We’re here to talk about three big cases in New York. Sean "Diddy" Combs charged with sex trafficking and racketeering by the Feds. He pled not guilty. Down the street in state court, Harvey Weinstein’s retrial by the Manhattan DA on rape and sex assault charges. He also pled not to guilty. And then there’s Luigi Mangione. He’s charged by both the state and the Feds with killing United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson and has also pled not guilty. Joining me now, two of the Associated Press reporters covering the cases and the courts, Larry Neumeister and Mike Sisak. And I’m Julie Walker. All right, let’s start with Sean "Diddy" Combs, what’s been going on with that trial?

Larry Neumeister, AP courts reporter: They’re fascinated by a celebrity on trial. And as part of that, I’ve been trying to figure out what was he really called around his office? Was he called Diddy? Was he call Puff Daddy? Was called he Puff? Was he, called you know, Sean Combs? A lot of the witnesses seem to have called him Puff every day at the office. So that’s my first takeaway from the trial. Mike, how about you?
