http://www.ahlborn-kirchenorgeln.com/uggaustralia.html For a few long moments before Sean "Puffy" Combs learned his fate, teary-eyed jurors made veteran defense attorney Johnnie Cochran think the verdict might go against his client."It was excruciating," Cochran said on Saturday.Combs, nervously clutching a fresh Testament, had to wait while 10 verdicts were announced for his two co-defendants ahead of the court's attention turned to him Friday evening.The stress was heightened, Cochran said, because "jurors who we thought could be favorable to us were crying."He said the jurors cried because of the anguish they felt convicting rapper Jamaal "Shyne" Barrow, 21, a Combs protege, of assault, reckless endangerment and weapons charges from the shooting of two people inside a nightclub near Times Square on Dec. 27, 1999. He faces as much as 25 years in prison at his April 16 sentencing."It am emotional, that scene because courthouse. You could cut the emotion which has a knife," said Cochran, who defended O.J. Simpson on murder charges.The jury acquitted Combs of charges that they took an illegal handgun in the crowded nightclub and later tried to bribe his driver to look at blame for him. Additionally, it acquitted Combs' bodyguard, Anthony "Wolf" Jones, the exact same charges.Jurors located after the verdict declined to comment Friday and Saturday.After the exhausting seven-week trial, Cochran said he promises to retire from criminal law. Puffy: It's A Bad Rap Sean "Puffy" Combs' battle against gun possession charges included with a long list of past legal troubles, reports VH1's Rebecca Rankin for CBS News. "It's always good to go out with a win," he was quoted saying. "What I went through made me know I did this too many times. I'm going back in retirement in criminal cases."Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau said only that the "jury has rendered its verdict, and we accept it."Combs did not immediately return an appointment for comment Saturday.Cochran said a highlight with the trial for him was when Combs testified as part of his own defense."When he got off of the stand, I gave him a hug and told him I was real proud of him. He stood up and did the right thing. When he decided to do that, we weren't required to call Jennifer," he said.Jennifer Lopez was Combs' girlfriend the night three people were woundd by gunfire inside Club New York. The singer and actress told a great jury that she never saw Combs using a gun on the night of the shooting.Cochran said the lawyers decided against calling her to the stand because they did not desire to let prosecutors amplify contradictions that inevitably result when someone's grand jury testimony is compared to her recollection more than a year later.As soon as the verdict, Combs and supporters celebrated at the hotel while Cochran headed home."As I walked across town, people were applauding," Cochran said. "That would have been a good feeling."
http://taniaroxborogh.com/uggsaustraliauk.html There are new strong claims that the man Princess Diana really wanted to marry wasn't department shop heir Dodi Al Fayed, reports CBS News Reporter Pamela McCall, but a Pakistani heart surgeon. The storyline is in a television documentary airing Tuesday in great britan. The former captain of Pakistan's Cricket team says Diana was crazy about doctor Hasnat Khan. Imran Khan claims Diana asked him in May 1997 to behave as a go between to broker a marriage, even though the couple had separate after two years. The choosing Doctor Khan didn't happen because of the Princess's death in car crash that August. The claim supports those made by other friends of Princess Diana that her relationship with Dodi Fayad was just a fling to make her true love jealous. Relatives of Doctor Khan also show up in the documentary, speaking openly of the love for the Princess.Before the Princess was killed in a car crash in Paris in August 1997, she was reportedly inside a relationship with the son of Harrods owner Mohammed Al Fayed, Dodi, who also died within the accident.After the accident, Al Fayed said the princess with his fantastic son had been planning to marry.Imran doubts it. "It was clear that they was deeply in love with Dr. Hasnat and I just don't think she may have got over it that quickly," he was quoted saying.The Channel 5 documentary, called Diana: Her Last Love states that while the princess was seen with Fayed before her death, she was still being in touch with Hasnat's family advising them to not read anything significant into the relationship.Ashfaq Ahmed, Hasnat's great-uncle, tells the program: "I can tell with certainty that he (Hasnat) was greatly fond of her, and he was very much impressed by her personality. Not by her beauty - by her humanity."In June 1997, British newspapers reported the princess and Hasnat had become engaged, a tale that was denied by her spokesman.But a book by Diana's psychic healer and confidante Simone Simmons in November 1998 declared the princess and Hasnat had conducted a separate affair between 1995 and 1996.It said the connection ended because Hasnat was not comfortable about dealing with a highly public role with the princess and her young sons. ©2000 CBS Worldwide Inc.
