Diddy Expert Claims Multiple Versions of Cassie Video Show Distortion

Multiple videos of Diddy beating up Cassie in a hotel hallway show “significant distortion” … this according to a forensic video technician working for the rapper’s team.

Conor McCourt — a former New York City Police officer with years of experience analyzing video footage — says in a sworn deposition that he has reviewed the clip CNN published, as well as another video of surveillance footage that was recorded on an iPhone 6 directly.

It’s a bit confusing, but basically McCourt takes issue with both versions he’s seen, first claiming the CNN vid appears sped up because it was converted from one file type to another in a process called “transcoding” … which he claims adds, subtracts and duplicates frames.

As we told you last month … Diddy’s team and prosecutors filed a joint letter to the court — claiming CNN purchased the original video, altered it and then destroyed the original.

CNN denied altering and then destroying the footage … claiming instead the OG copy was retained by the source. Prosecutors later said they had a copy of the original tape — which appears to be the iPhone 6 video McCourt reviewed.

Diddy has pled not guilty to two counts of sex trafficking, two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, and one count of racketeering. His trial is scheduled to begin next month.
