The 30-minute-episode deep-dive premieres Friday, May 9, at 5:30 PM EDT on ABC News Live, hosted by “GMA3” co-anchor Eva Pilgrim. Each episode of the series will spotlight and analyze the day’s events from the courtroom with real-time updates.
The first episode will examine the science behind the jury selection and go over the charges against Combs. After that, the daily cadence for the show will begin on the day of opening statements, which are currently slated for May 12. “Burden of Proof: The Case Against Diddy” will air daily on ABC News Live at 5:30 PM, 6:30 PM, and 8:30 PM EDT through the end of the trial.
Joining Pilgrim will be chief investigative correspondent Aaron Katersky and legal contributor and attorney Brian Buckmire, who will be inside the courtroom during the trial. Their firsthand insights and commentary will bring viewers behind the scenes of one of the biggest celebrity trials in recent memory. Pilgrim will feature additional guests and experts throughout the series to provide audiences with the full scope and impact of the trial.
News of the program comes as Diddy’s trial finally gets underway, despite his legal team’s many efforts to have it dismissed. Combs has denied all allegations and pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn since his arrest in September. Once jury selection is completed, the trial is estimated to last from eight to 10 weeks.
