Defense says WCPO weatherman and his sons gave 'rehearsed answers' during trial testimony
A jury is set begin deliberations Friday, July 11, to decide if a man who confronted WCPO meteorologist Steve Raleigh after a minor crash in a restaurant parking lot is guilty of a low-level misdemeanor charge. Troy Morrow, 47, is charged with menacing. Prosecutors say that he approached Raleigh 'with anger,' with his 'fists balled up' and that Raleigh believed Morrow would harm him. The June 22, 2024 incident outside the Montgomery Inn Boathouse already has led to Raleigh's son, Kyle, being convicted of assault charges. According to a judge, Kyle Raleigh recklessly, but not intentionally, caused injuries to Morrow's elderly mother and father, who were knocked to the pavement. He was fined and sentenced to three years of probation. Morrow's mother, Lois, who was 76 at the time, suffered fractures to her face, brain bleeding and a concussion, court documents say. The menacing charge Morrow faces is punishable by up to 30 days in jail. The case is in Hamilton County Municipal Court. One of Morrow's attorneys, Mariah Woeste, suggested during closing arguments Thursday, July 10, that the Raleigh family was using the trial as a way 'to get their side of the story out.' Neither Steve Raleigh nor his family has spoken publicly about it. Woeste told jurors that testimony from Raleigh and his sons was about 'controlling the narrative, damage control and image repair.' Morrow, she said, took responsibility for his actions that night and even apologized. She said Morrow was innocent. Among the key evidence against Morrow is a shaky and blurry cellphone video of the confrontation. City prosecutors said Morrow can be heard in the video saying, 'I'm going to (expletive) you up.' But when played in court, amid all the chaos, it's not clear anyone said that. 'It's not there," Woeste said. 'The threat did not happen.' Woeste noted that although Steve and Kyle Raleigh, as well as another of Steve's sons, testified they heard Morrow say, 'I'm going to (expletive) you up' – all three also admitted that they didn't tell police about it. When asked by Morrow's attorneys during cross-examination about why they didn't tell police, according to Woeste, all three said 'they couldn't remember.' She suggested that Raleigh and his sons had 'rehearsed answers.' Keith Forman, an assistant city prosecutor, accused Woeste of 'victim blaming and victim shaming.' Forman said during closing arguments that Steve Raleigh 'didn't ask for any of this.' The meteorologist was celebrating a birthday that night, and no one was intoxicated, he said. Forman also noted that Morrow's apology was a clear sign of guilt. At one point, Raleigh had said to Morrow that if he hadn't taken off his shirt and 'come at' him, nothing would have happened. Morrow's response, according to Forman: 'I'm a man. I can apologize.' Forman said the threat can be heard on the video. He urged jurors to use noise-cancelling headphones and listen again. 'Just because it wasn't ... as clear as we'd like,' he said, 'that doesn't mean it didn't happen.'

Diddy trial latest: Jurors sent out to deliberate - but no verdict on first day
22:13:59 Court adjourned - jurors sent home for the day The jury has sent two notes, with the first a question about one of the points made in their instructions on the law and the charges. The other says they will finish for the day and return for deliberations tomorrow. After calling jurors back into the courtroom, Judge Arun Subramanian tells them the court will respond to their first request tomorrow. He tells them to be back before 9am and not to discuss the case with each other or anyone else until then. "Continue to keep an open mind," he says. "With that I wish you a very pleasant evening." We'll be back with updates tomorrow. 21:56:20 Jurors send another note Jurors in the trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs have sent a second note to the judge. Their first was sent about an hour into deliberations today, saying there were concerns over one juror's ability to follow instructions. We are awaiting details on what this second note says. 20:38:56 Sketches from the courtroom There have been no cameras in court throughout this trial - because the trial is being held in a federal court. So court sketchers have been there to paint a picture of the atmosphere each day. Artist Jane Rosenberg sketched these images of Sean "Diddy" Combs in the courtroom earlier today. In the first, he confers with his legal team, while in the second he passes a note to one attorney, Marc Agnifilo. The final picture shows Judge Arun Subramanian. 19:56:43 Judge to respond to jury's note Judge Arun Subramanian will respond to the jury with his own note. This will remind jurors to deliberate and to follow his instructions. Jurors technically have until 10pm UK time to continue deliberations today. The judge has said they can stay for however long they agree to. 19:36:00 Watch: 'The stakes could not be higher for Diddy' Our US correspondent Martha Kelner is outside the courtroom in Manhattan, New York, as jury deliberations continue. She says Sean "Diddy" Combs spoke to family members after the jurors had been sent out. 18:39:31 Jurors send note After deliberating for just over an hour, jurors sent a note. Both legal teams and Sean "Diddy" Combs returned to the courtroom to hear the details. Jurors say they are concerned there is an issue with one member of the panel not following the judge's instructions. Judge Arun Subramanian asked prosecutors and Combs's defence lawyers for their suggestions on what he should do in response to the jury note. "We have a juror, number 25, who we are concerned cannot follow your honour's instructions," the note said. However, it did not elaborate on which instructions the juror cannot follow. It is not clear yet what will happen next, but there are alternate jurors who have heard the case. We will bring you updates as soon as we have them. 16:33:12 Jury begins deliberations Judge Arun Subramanian gives jurors more instructions about several issues, including the use of pseudonyms, witnesses who testified after being granted immunity, and the defendant's right not to testify - as Sean "Diddy" Combs chose not to. He then tells them they will retire to consider the case, to determine if the prosecutuion has proved Combs's guilt or not. All 12 jurors must be present during deliberations, the judge says, and the decision must be unanimous. They retire to begin their deliberations at 11.30am in New York, so 4.30pm here in the UK. Usual court hours are 9am to 5pm (2pm to 10pm in the UK), but the judge says they can stay later to deliberate if they choose to. We will report back with updates from the courtroom as soon as we have any updates. 16:14:49 Sex-trafficking and transportation for prostitution charges The judge has instructed jurors on the two sex-trafficking charges and the two charges of transportation to engage in prostitution. One charge of sex trafficking and one of transportation to engage in prostitution relate to Cassie Ventura, between about 2009 and 2018. One charge of sex trafficking and one of transportation to engage in prostitution relate to Jane*, who testified under a pseudonym, between 2021 and 2024. 15:43:06 What is racketeering conspiracy? Racketeering broadly means engaging in an illegal scheme or enterprise, and the charge falls under the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organisations Act (RICO) in the US. According to the US justice department's definition of RICO statute, it is also illegal to "conspire to violate" the laws. Combs is accused of violating the statute between 2004 and 2024. Racketeering conspiracy is an agreement between two or more people to commit a crime, the judge says. This doesn't have to be a formal agreement, but can be a mutual understanding, spoken or unspoken. The eight acts Combs is accused of that fall under the racketeering charge are: Kidnapping Arson Bribery Witness tampering Forced labour Sex trafficking Transportation to engage in prostitution Possession with intent to distribute drugs Racketeering conspiracy carries a maximum sentence of life in prison.
