The Sean ‘Diddy' Combs case shows ‘trialtainment' has evolved in the post-OJ Simpson era
Salacious details, discussion of domestic violence and a Black male celebrity who for decades had a strong base of supporters. While the alleged crimes are not the same, some of the cultural issues involved could describe the trial of Sean 'Diddy' Combs in 2025, or that of O.J. Simpson in 1995. Simpson's case sparked an era of 'trialtainment,' with an abundance of viewers and readers following an exhaustive round-the-clock news cycle, absorbing every detail of the bombshell murder case. Thirty years later, as the world awaits a verdict in Combs' federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial, interest in celebrity court cases remains high, but public discourse around race and intimate partner violence has changed. 'I think a lot of women have evolved in terms of taking a stance that we can speak up. We are now just being comfortable with speaking up and this is as a result of the #MeToo movement,' legal analyst and entertainment law expert Lisa Bonner – who is not connected to either case – told CNN. Simpson, who died in April 2024 at the age of 76 following a battle with cancer, was accused of fatally stabbing his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman. The star football player and actor was acquitted in 1995. Combs is facing allegations of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. The mogul and music artist has pleaded not guilty. Both men had well respected careers, amassed wealth and power and initially enjoyed the support of fans, especially in the Black community. 'One thing that is different in this case than it is for Diddy is all the Black people were on O.J.'s side,' Bonner said. 'It was on the heels of (the 1991 beating by Los Angeles Police Department officers of) Rodney King and all of the civil unrest that had gone on regarding the mistreatment of Black people, especially Black men.' Both Simpson and Combs were also accused of domestic violence and in the case of Combs, some of his support slipped after CNN last year published a hotel surveillance video of him physically assaulting his then-girlfriend, singer Cassie Ventura, in 2016. Nicole Branca, chief executive officer of New Destiny Housing, a New York City nonprofit that provides housing and services to survivors of domestic violence and their children, said high-profile trials like these can be 'helpful to hold people accountable.' 'It's probably better that there's this much coverage because these are celebrities, these are people with a lot of money and a lot of attention and if (domestic violence is) happening to them, then maybe it makes it okay for people to speak out about their own experience,' she said. 'That's my hope. Do I know if that's happening? I don't, but the fact that people are more vocal about it these days and there are more laws being passed at the city, state, and federal level, makes me think that this contributes to that discourse.' Branca pointed to the New York City Council recently introducing a bill to train first responders in the detection of traumatic brain injuries – given that such injuries are common with domestic violence victims – as an indiction that authorities are taking the issue more seriously. Bonner, who has appeared on CNN to discuss the Combs case, said that while 'there's still a lot of victim shaming that goes on,' the cultural strides made in the past three decades likely made it easier for Ventura to file a civil suit against Combs in November 2023, which preceded a federal criminal investigation. Combs denied wrongdoing, and the two settled the lawsuit a day later. 'It's no longer acceptable that men are allowed to act in such a manner and get away with it. Women are no longer scared to come forward,' Bonner said. 'That's the reason why Cassie was able to bring this lawsuit because of the simple fact that the #MeToo movement gave women a voice.' Public awareness of the #MeToo movement gave rise as a hashtag in 2017, after Hollywood super producer Harvey Weinstein was accused of sexual harassment and assault, but it was founded more than a decade prior by activist Tarana Burke. What followed after Weinstein were allegations against other men in powerful positions. Bonner said that when it comes to legal issues of the rich and the famous, 'we want a light, a look into the life of a celebrity.' 'In some instances it's a great equalizer because this person, now all of their business that is normally shrouded in secrecy, has come to the front,' she said. An estimated 150 million people reportedly watched Simpson's verdict in 1995. While the Combs trial has not been televised, the social media era has meant details of his alleged abuse of power and hours of trial testimony have been closely followed and discussed for months. 'It gives us a chance to weigh in on something that's completely not our business to talk about it,' Bonner said. 'It's in the zeitgeist.'

El Paso pioneer recalls early days, says he brought alligators to San Jacinto Plaza
By 1920, El Paso pioneer J. Fisher Satterthwaite was living in San Diego, Calif. On a trip back to El Paso, he relayed to G.A. Martin of the El Paso Herald his recollections of early-day El Paso. This article ran Sept. 16, 1920: El Paso police had headquarters in George Look's saloon on El Paso Street and "kept cases" for the gamblers between calls, back in the early '80s, according to J. Fisher Satterthwaite, a prominent citizen of El Paso at the time. Mr. Satterthwaite now resides in San Diego, Calif., but is here on a visit for a short time. Mr. Satterthwaite was the first park commissioner of El Paso, receiving the appointment in 1882 and serving for five years. He admits responsibility for the alligators in San Jacinto Plaza. He says he brought three of them here from New Orleans in a cigar box; one of them died later, but two of the original 'gators are still in the park. Mr. Satterthwaite built the first pond for the alligators, doing the work personally. He came to El Paso from San Antonio, by stage, and was nine days making the trip. The stage turned over twice in one day and he carries a scar on one hand to this day as a result of an injury he received in one of the overturnings. He says he was appointed park commissioner because he had been criticizing the aldermen. They were all gamblers, he says, and he called them "the knights of the green cloth." "I never accused them of stealing money," he says, "because there was nothing to steal, but they just wouldn't do anything. I was to get a salary of $100 a year for my work, but I never received a cent. About all the city council could raise was enough money to pay the police. We never had a cent for the park and the women of El Paso — Mrs. Jos. Magoffin, Mrs. Phil Dieter and others — kept the flowers blooming in the park. It was often very pretty. "A big arroyo ran straight through the middle of the park, going off down through what is now Mesa Avenue. The (Southern Pacific) railroad had a pile bridge over the arroyo on the north side of the park, and it stood there for many years after I had filled up the arroyo. The filling of this arroyo, the first time a big rain came, caused the flooding of land west of the park and buried the railroad tracks in several inches of mud and sand. The railroad people wanted to make me open up the arroyo again and they kept the bridge in place for many years, although I had filled up the arroyo." "I bought the Hart survey, about 360 acres of land, extending from the river along the north side of the railroad tracks, east to what is now Campbell Street and north to the mountains. My land included a large part of what is now San Jacinto Plaza and I donated it to the city. The city later stole Carnegie Square (site of the El Paso Public Library) from me. "I spent $86,000 grading streets through my land and selling lots.

Citizens had to arm themselves with shotguns and sit out on the streets at night to preserve order. Fifty of them were made deputy city marshals to preserve order. "Things became so bad that Dallas Stoudenmire was brought here from Indian Territory to 'clean up' the town. He had a record of having killed four men. He was sworn in at what served then as a city hall — a room in a beer saloon down San Francisco Street known as the 'Half Way House'; later it was known as Charlie Biesswenger's place. "He then sauntered down the street, a long linen duster on and a pistol in each pocket. At the corner of San Antonio and El Paso streets, he was hissed by a gang there. He pulled his pistols and shot and killed four men. No inquest was held. "That night, Stoudenmire went further down the street to a dance hall and variety theater, kept by his brother-in-law, 'Doc' Cummings, and ordered Cummings to close the place, as several killings had taken place there. Cummings drew his gun. Stoudenmire shot him dead and the place was closed. "Sam Boring, a real estate man, who had a reputation as a sheriff and city marshal in California, was sworn in as assistant to Stoudenmire, and immediately secured from somewhere a ton of balls and chains. Summoning citizens with shotguns, he rounded up all the undesirables and marched them into a corral, where he locked the balls and chains on them.

"One of the men attracted his attention to something and the others, relieved of their balls and chains, started running. This was what Boring had counted on, and was the signal for the men on the roofs, armed with shotguns, to begin firing. The shot were only large enough to sting good and hard. Those 'undesirables' never quit running until they had permanently left El Paso. "Fifty more were treated the same way in a short time, then another 50. "That night, anybody could walk along any street in El Paso in perfect safety and that was the end of the reign of terror for El Paso. "We had a semblance of law and order from that time forward. The news spread all over the country among bad men that El Paso was unhealthy for them."

Grim scenes in quiet residential street
A quiet residential street in Melbourne's northwest has been cordoned off after a man was arrested and police discovered human remains believed to be that of missing man Joshua Bishop, who disappeared a month ago. Sunbury man Joshua Bishop, 23, was last seen by his housemates in Lalor Crescent about 9.30pm May 27. He was reported missing two days later on May 29 by his mother. Police launched an investigation into the man's disappearance, which they said was 'completely out of character' and 'suspicious'. On Saturday, police completed a search warrant of a home in Erinbank Crescent in Westmeadows in Melbourne's northwest, where they discovered human remains. The remains are yet to be formally identified, though police believe they are of the missing Sunbury man. Police later arrested a 27-year-old Westmeadows man, who will be taken to a police station to be interviewed. No charges have been laid. The grisly discovery was made approximately 32km from the missing man's Sunbury home. A crime scene has been established by police, with officers from the Major Crime Scene Unit attending as they process the scene. The front yard of the Westmeadows property was cordoned off with police tape while officers examined the scene. Forensic officers were later seen wheeling his remains out of the house before loading it into the police vehicle, flanked by forensic officers, police and paramedics. Mr Bishop had never been reported missing before and was not known to police. His phone and bank accounts had not been accessed since May 27, and his phone last pinged at Broadmeadows Valley Park on Barry Rd. Police conducted a search of the park on June 6 but returned 10 days later for a renewed search. His heartbroken mother Kristie urged the public for any information, telling 9News his disappearance was 'definitely out of character'. 'Josh was really open with me. We had a really good relationship,' she said. 'This is not something he would do unless he felt he had to.' On social media, dad Travis pleaded for the safe return of his son. 'My heart is broken, please complete my family and bring my boy home,' he wrote. 'I'd give everything to have you in my arms.' He told 9News his son was 'loved by everyone' and urged anyone with information to come forward. 'Someone has to know something,' he told the outlet. 'We've had a lot of support, but we still haven't got any closer to our son, which is hard.' Relatives have set up a GoFundMe page to assist in the search for the missing man, which has since raised over $15,000. 'Our beloved Josh is missing, and our family is doing everything we can to bring him home safely,' the fundraiser read. 'Every moment that passes without answers is incredibly difficult, but we remain determined to keep searching until we find him.'
