the gavel comes down, we'll explore the allegations, the testimonies,

9
00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:00.240
and the shocking twists that could change the course of

Diddy's legacy forever. Was this case merely a clash of

11
00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:15.280
lifestyles or something much more sinister? With each episode, I

So buckle up as we embark on this thrilling ride

15
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:31.319
through the trial of the century, where the stakes are high,

16
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:36.200
the drama is real, and the truth is anything but certain.

17
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:41.840
This is the Trial of Shawn Combs. Let's get started,

18
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:57.879
and this is the eleventh episode in the Trial of

19
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:02.120
Sean Combs. And today May twentieth, we're going to pick

20
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:05.439
up where we left off yesterday, and that was with

21
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:10.000
the testimony of David James, who was a former personal

22
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:13.719
assistant to Shawn Combe's and he is back on that

23
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:17.639
witness stand and right out of the gate, the prosecution

24
00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:21.759
asked about the drugs that Diddy traveled with, and David

25
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:26.479
James he testifies that Shawn Combs traveled with a large

26
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:31.479
supply of prescription and illegal drugs, including pills that were

27
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:37.039
stamped with President Barack Obama's face on them, which I

28
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:40.560
didn't see that one coming, y'all. And if you'll remember,

29
00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:45.680
David James testified yesterday about preparing writers for Diddy, for

30
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:49.159
hotels and for dream rooms, et cetera. And in today's

31
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:53.240
testimony he got a little more specific with that, as

32
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:56.400
I had hoped that he would. He testified that he

33
00:02:56.479 --> 00:03:00.479
would primarily prep the hotel rooms that Combs stay in,

34
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:04.039
and he went on to say that there were personal items,

35
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:11.879
fresh underwear, socks, slides, iPads, various snacks including apple sauce, jello,

36
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:16.159
and Fiji water. There was a toiletry bag also with

37
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:23.000
forty different forty different cosmetic products, which James would set

38
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:27.000
up on the bathroom counter for combs. There was also

39
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:31.919
a medicine bag stocked with quote thirty five to forty

40
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:36.000
different pill bottles, some of those unmarked. He were called

41
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:41.960
seeing tailinol, advil, water pills to lose weight, viagra, and

42
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:47.039
meds to increase his sperm count, as well as percocet

43
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:52.319
and ecstasy. There was also a personal Louis Viton bag

44
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:55.759
that James said Comb security would carry and depending on

45
00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:59.000
the date, James said it sometimes would hold ten thousand

46
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:03.400
or more in cash inside of that Louis Vauton bag.

47
00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:07.479
And of course, on yesterday's episode we talked about that

48
00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:11.039
a little bit. Remember they pulled that Louis Vauton bag

49
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:14.759
out and fanned out nine thousand dollars in front of

50
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:19.199
the jury yesterday. He also testified that he was reimbursed

51
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:24.720
by Bad Boy Entertainment for expenses such as medicine and snacks,

52
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:31.560
but for certain supplies such as baby oil, astrogloide, and condoms,

53
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:36.040
he was told to be reimbursed by Combe's security staff,

54
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:40.759
who would pay him cash out of that Louis Vauton bag.

55
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:44.879
And that's for obvious reasons, right, did. He didn't want

56
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:49.439
this paper trail of freak off items that he was

57
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:53.439
purchasing at local drug stores. Right and after he was

58
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:57.959
done discussing that, the topic of sug Knight came up

59
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:01.800
again in this testimony. Now, now, if you will remember,

60
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:06.720
Cassie Ventura testified about them being in a freak off.

61
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:10.199
At one point when they were in California, someone came

62
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:11.800
in the room, I think it was one of the

63
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:15.160
security and they said sug Knight was spotted at a

64
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:18.639
diner in the area and she was real freaked out

65
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:22.680
about it because his entorage was going after sug Knight,

66
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:26.959
who was a big time rival of Seawan Comb's. Well.

67
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:31.839
According to David James, who was also there, he testified

68
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:35.800
about the exact situation, and he said Shawan Combs had

69
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:40.000
three handguns on his lap when he ordered members of

70
00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:44.319
his entorage to go to Mels Diner in Los Angeles.

71
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:48.920
This was early one morning to confront sug Knight. He

72
00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:53.160
said Combs demanded that James drive to the restaurant at

73
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:58.639
around four o'clock am and then circle the block. After

74
00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:03.839
they failed to bot Knight's Cadillac Escalade in the parking lot,

75
00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:07.759
James said on the stand that quote, I remember thinking

76
00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:12.079
there's three guns and three people in this car. He

77
00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:15.600
went on to say that he recalled having a weird

78
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:19.560
sense of calm during this ride with Combes and a

79
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:24.199
security guard in the vehicle. And y'all, why is this relevant. Well,

80
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:28.399
it speaks to the prosecution's theory that Comes had an

81
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:32.639
army of enforcers, if you will, who enabled his violent

82
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:36.720
and illegal conduct. It's as simple as that. It pretty

83
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:41.360
much transforms the case from a single person causing all

84
00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:45.560
this mayhem to an enterprise of people, if you will,

85
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:49.839
And that's what you need when you have RICO charges

86
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:54.040
against you. They have to prove this was a criminal enterprise.

87
00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:58.560
David James then describes a knight in two thousand and

88
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:02.480
nine when Comes entered his La home in a rage

89
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:06.639
over a blog post on a gossip site. James said

90
00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:09.399
he had the day off, but he was at Comb's

91
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:12.920
estate and he was working on a research product which

92
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:19.040
consisted of looking up possible tattoos online for Combs. James

93
00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:22.120
were called on the stand that Combs arrived at that

94
00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:25.639
home early in the morning, hours after a night clubbing,

95
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:29.759
and he was upset over that blog post. Combs basically

96
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:34.839
blined it straight towards James and looked up the assistant's

97
00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:39.000
search history on his computer. James said that Combs wanted

98
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:43.600
to see whether James may have written that blog post

99
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:46.519
that pissed him off so much. A few days later,

100
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:51.120
James was given an assignment to deliver a meal from Roscoe's,

101
00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:55.519
which is a chicken franchise, and he was supposed to

102
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:59.680
deliver that meal to Cassie Ventura at the London Hotel. Now,

103
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:02.879
Vin Tara had been there about a week. When he

104
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:06.040
arrived at the hotel, he was surprised to see that

105
00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:10.839
one of Comb's staff answered the door and not Cassie.

106
00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:14.079
He even said on the stand, I was expecting to

107
00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:19.240
see Cassie. Now, why is this important because if you'll remember,

108
00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:25.240
in Cassie Venturi's testimony, she testified that comes beat the

109
00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:28.839
shit out of her at that London hotel, and the

110
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:32.440
prosecution here is trying to paint a picture that while

111
00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:35.559
Cassie typically would answer that door, and that's what he

112
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:38.799
was expecting because she was beat the shit out of,

113
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:43.240
someone else answered the door. And at this point the

114
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:47.720
prosecution they didn't have any further questions for David James,

115
00:08:47.799 --> 00:08:51.559
and it was the defense turn to cross examine him.

116
00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:55.679
And at that point, Mark Agnofilio gets up and he

117
00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:59.519
approaches the witness box and he brings up Suge Knight

118
00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:03.919
and the incident that James just testified to and as

119
00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:08.480
you would expect, Agniphilo of course suggests that shud Knight

120
00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:11.639
and that whole incident didn't even happen, at least not

121
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:15.639
in the way that Sean Combe's assistant David James remembered it.

122
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:19.039
He asked James if he objected to going with Combs

123
00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:22.519
to look for Knight while Combs was holding those three

124
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:26.399
hand guns. He actually said, quote, you didn't see a thing,

125
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:31.799
and James responded with, quote respectively, sir, you have someone

126
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:36.279
with three guns that close in proximity. I didn't think

127
00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:40.039
I had the option to say anything, which was a

128
00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:45.639
great answer in my opinion. He did agree with Agnaphillo

129
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:50.519
that the incident was a radical departure from normal events

130
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:54.720
during his time employeed by Combs and look. Agnaphillo was

131
00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:59.240
very aggressive as he cross examined David James about his

132
00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:02.000
account of the incident. Was shook Knight as a matter

133
00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:06.360
of fact, His demeanor with James was significantly different than

134
00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:12.039
his treatment of Carrie Morgan in her testimony yesterday. Actually,

135
00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:16.120
in that testimony, he periodically would apologize for having to

136
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:22.120
ask her questions that many would deem disturbing. And I

137
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:25.120
think that's a little bit of what you can see

138
00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:28.799
as a difference between cross examining a female about those

139
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:34.279
and cross examining a male about those instances. Remember, you

140
00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:37.120
start bullying a female on the stand and you're a

141
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:41.559
male prosecutor, and it looks really bad to a journy.

142
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:45.279
So some more details emerged regarding what it's like to

143
00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:49.320
be an assistant to Diddy during this testimony, and some

144
00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:54.080
examples of what James testified to while being cross examined

145
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:59.360
include James admitting that he was prepped by prosecutors for

146
00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:06.519
the defence examination and that's totally normal, and of course

147
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:10.519
did his defense knows this is totally normal. But it's

148
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:13.159
a tactic that you present to a jury as a

149
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:16.960
defense attorney to make it look like something shady's going on,

150
00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:20.320
even though that is normal in every case in the world.

151
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:24.799
He also gave more detail about how Combs ran his companies.

152
00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:29.600
He said he was involved with everything a micro manager

153
00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:33.080
James also said he wants worked twenty one day straight,

154
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:37.159
and he credited that work ethic to being raised in Flint, Michigan.

155
00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:41.799
Another assistant, he said, once went to the hospital for

156
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:47.720
dehydration after working a twenty four hour shift, and James

157
00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:51.440
said that Comb's security detail used to have a saying, quote,

158
00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:56.200
do you know what rhyme's with? Tired? And the answer

159
00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:00.519
was fired And we now know, thanks to ag a Fillo,

160
00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:04.960
that that apple sauce I mentioned earlier on Combe's hotel Riders.

161
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:09.080
The defense clarified that he liked apple sauce on his cheeseburgers,

162
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:13.559
which yuck in my opinion. Does anybody out there listening

163
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:16.759
actually eat apple sauce on their cheeseburgers? Am I'm missing

164
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:20.519
out on something here. The defense also threw a major

165
00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:24.440
curve ball to James when out of the blue, they

166
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:30.320
ask James if he ever choked Combe's personal chef, who

167
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:34.440
the defense referred to as Chef Jordan, and James answered

168
00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:37.799
that he hadn't. The government at that point objected to

169
00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:42.200
that line of questioning, and after a brief sidebar, the

170
00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:46.159
defense was allowed to continue. So James said at that

171
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:49.200
point that he was annoyed with the chef seeming to

172
00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:52.440
tell him what to do. He said, I grabbed the

173
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:57.960
chef's wrist and told her to stay in her fucking lane,

174
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:03.399
which totally in the defense then asked what consequences James

175
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:06.440
faced as a result of the encounter, and James said

176
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:10.320
that Combs asked him what happened. James told him his

177
00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:14.080
side of the story, and he said Combs them responded,

178
00:13:14.200 --> 00:13:19.840
you can't be putting your hands on women. Wow. If

179
00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:22.279
that ain't the pot calling the kettle black quote, you

180
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:24.759
do it again and I'm gonna have to let you go.

181
00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:28.279
James were called Combs telling him. He said Combs told

182
00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:31.480
him to write the chef a note and to get

183
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:35.360
her a gift, so he did that. When he was

184
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:39.320
asked what the gift was, James said, I rolled her

185
00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:44.200
a blunt Holy smokes. The defense then asked James about

186
00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:49.320
an encounter he had with Roger Bonds into female sex workers.

187
00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:52.960
Now Roger Bonds was a security guard for Combs. James

188
00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:55.320
said he was not aware at the time that the

189
00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:59.080
women were sex workers. He said he and Bonds met

190
00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:02.879
these women for drinks and dinner at a hotel and

191
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:07.480
they were having good conversation, he said. They brought them

192
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:11.120
back to Combs' home, which Comebs was not there at

193
00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:15.240
the time, and after they had what he called relations,

194
00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:17.919
James said, Bonds told him to pay one of the

195
00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:22.200
women two hundred dollars. However, James did not part with

196
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:25.960
that money for long. Prompted by the defense, he explained

197
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:28.320
that the night ended with the woman he was with

198
00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:32.960
wanting to take a shower, which he said he charged

199
00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:37.200
her two hundred dollars for the shower and that actually

200
00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:41.879
made agna Fhillo laugh and he responded with so you

201
00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:45.600
got your money back, And with that the defense was

202
00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:48.960
done and it was time for some reduract with the

203
00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:53.919
prosecution of David James. They wanted to clarify this chef situation,

204
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:57.840
and the prosecution asked if Sean Comes himself ever got

205
00:14:57.919 --> 00:15:02.320
violent with that personal and James replied that there was

206
00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:06.559
an incident at Combe's New Jersey home. James said that

207
00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:10.039
Combs instructed him to file a police report, saying that

208
00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:14.000
the chef was the aggressor in hit Comb's first He

209
00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:16.000
went on to say that he did not want to

210
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:19.360
make a false police report, so he drove around New

211
00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:22.840
Jersey for an hour before returning to Combe's home where

212
00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:26.440
he lied and told Combs that he went and filed

213
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:30.679
that police report. And with that, the prosecution released the

214
00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:34.960
witness and the next person called to the stand was

215
00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:39.240
Regina Ventura, who is the mother of Cassie Ventura. And

216
00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:43.039
Regina Ventur testified that she took out a home equity

217
00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:47.759
loan in twenty eleven for twenty thousand dollars to satisfy

218
00:15:47.879 --> 00:15:51.759
what she called a shakedown demand from Shawn Combe's because

219
00:15:51.799 --> 00:15:54.759
she believed he was going to harm her daughter, Cassie

220
00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:58.240
if she didn't pay that money. Now, this was after

221
00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:02.440
Cassie visited her mother home in Connecticut for the holidays

222
00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:07.600
with visible bruises on her body. Regina Ventura took photographs

223
00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:10.840
of all these injuries that were shown to the jury

224
00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:14.919
during her testimony, and she was quoted as saying during

225
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:19.080
that testimony that she was very scared for her daughter's safety.

226
00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:22.679
When pressed about what that twenty thousand dollars was for,

227
00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:26.960
she testified she wired it after that whole shit show

228
00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:30.279
with Kid Cutty went down when his car blew up.

229
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:34.039
She testified that Sean Comb's at that point threatened to

230
00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:39.200
release sexually explicit videos of Cassie Ventura, and he sent

231
00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:43.600
that threat to Regina Ventura's email. She went on to

232
00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:48.320
say that that email about the sex tape release threats

233
00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:53.320
made her feel quote physically sick, and I mean, that's

234
00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:58.519
pretty damn low, in my opinion, to email someone's mother

235
00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:02.960
that threat about a sex tape. I mean, how much

236
00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:06.119
of an asshole do you have to be to do

237
00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:11.119
something like that. Regina Ventura also testified that her daughter

238
00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:15.599
first told her that Seawan Combs was physically abusive in

239
00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:20.119
December of twenty eleven. She said that Cassie emailed her

240
00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:24.839
and disclosed that as she was traveling home to Connecticut

241
00:17:24.880 --> 00:17:28.480
for Christmas that year. And incidentally, that twenty thousand dollars

242
00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:32.559
was like a penance that did he wanted Cassie's mother

243
00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:36.720
to pay to not release those sex tapes. He sent

244
00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:42.119
that money back a week later, according to Regina Ventura.

245
00:17:42.440 --> 00:17:45.039
So at this point that was all the questions that

246
00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:49.279
the prosecution had for Regina Ventura, so it was the

247
00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:54.240
defense's turn to cross examine her. However, surprisingly the lawyer

248
00:17:54.599 --> 00:17:57.759
declined to cross examiner and she left the stand. And

249
00:17:57.799 --> 00:18:01.079
I can only surmise that they didn't want to paint

250
00:18:01.079 --> 00:18:04.559
a picture to the jury that they're beating up, for

251
00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:08.759
lack of a better term, Cassie Ventura's mother and putting

252
00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:11.240
her through hell on the stand, So they just chose

253
00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:15.599
not to even question her. And at that point, the

254
00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:19.640
prosecutors called the witness of the day in my opinion,

255
00:18:20.359 --> 00:18:24.240
and his name is Charie Haynes, fifty one year old.

256
00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:28.319
He is a male exotic dancer from Harlem, which is

257
00:18:28.359 --> 00:18:33.240
where Diddy is from. And his stage name is The Punisher.

258
00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:37.720
And if you'll remember, I mentioned that name in a

259
00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:44.880
previous episode during Cassie Ventura's testimony. Now, Schari Haynes is bald,

260
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:49.319
muscular guy. He's wearing a black suit and tie. He

261
00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:53.920
explained on the stand that his nickname was Punisher. Now.

262
00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:56.519
He said that nickname was given to him as a

263
00:18:56.599 --> 00:19:00.279
teen and was inspired by his style of play on

264
00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:03.720
the basketball court. He even has a website for his

265
00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:09.480
exotic dancing services, which is get Punished dot com. And

266
00:19:09.680 --> 00:19:14.119
there will be no doubt that that website's going to

267
00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:18.400
get millions of hits in the upcoming days. So he

268
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:21.400
goes on to testify that his first freak off with

269
00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:26.079
Cassie Ventura and Shawan Combs took place in twoenty and twelve,

270
00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:29.599
and he initially thought he had been hired to perform

271
00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:33.640
a striptease in front of a group of friends. He

272
00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:37.480
said he was greeted at the door by Cassie Ventura,

273
00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:40.319
who he didn't know at the time, and was asked

274
00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:44.960
to perform a quote sexy scene for her and her husband,

275
00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:48.359
which he said was a man he now understands was Comb's.

276
00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:51.599
He said Combs sat at a table and he was

277
00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:56.960
naked except for a veil, and he described what comes

278
00:19:57.039 --> 00:19:59.920
looked like, and he said it was like a muzzl

279
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:04.680
a woman would wear Combs frigging. He said he was

280
00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:08.680
instructed to have no communication at all with the man.

281
00:20:09.480 --> 00:20:13.759
He then testified that Seawan Combs would periodically give instructions

282
00:20:13.839 --> 00:20:17.240
during the freak off. He would tell Cassie Ventura to

283
00:20:17.279 --> 00:20:21.519
position her body a certain way or to move the lights.

284
00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:25.400
Hayes said he was given eight hundred dollars upon arrival,

285
00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:29.480
then was asked if he wanted to quote finish. He

286
00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:33.640
said he declined, saying he wanted to keep things professional,

287
00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:37.720
and he was given an additional twelve hundred dollars and

288
00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:41.640
He testified that at that time he didn't recognize Sean

289
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:46.079
Comb's or Cassie Venture during that first encounter, but he

290
00:20:46.200 --> 00:20:49.200
learned of their identities when he was booked for another

291
00:20:49.279 --> 00:20:52.279
freak off session. This time it was at the Essex

292
00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:56.279
House hotel in New York. He said that when he

293
00:20:56.359 --> 00:20:59.839
turned on the TV in the hotel room while waiting

294
00:20:59.839 --> 00:21:03.680
for the session to start, a welcome screen appeared, and

295
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:07.400
on that welcome screen it said, quote the Essex House

296
00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:11.480
would like to welcome mister Seawan Comb's. He said later

297
00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:15.839
he looked at Combe's Instagram account and he recognized Ventura

298
00:21:16.079 --> 00:21:20.480
in the photos as the woman he's been having relations with.

299
00:21:20.599 --> 00:21:23.559
And it was at this point that the court broke

300
00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:27.319
for lunch, so they pick up after lunch in Charree

301
00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:31.200
Hayes' returns to the witness stand and he testified that

302
00:21:31.400 --> 00:21:35.759
he estimated he had participated in eight to ten of

303
00:21:35.920 --> 00:21:40.480
these freak offs, and he said they took place exclusively

304
00:21:40.599 --> 00:21:43.640
in New York when he was involved. He added that

305
00:21:43.680 --> 00:21:47.839
they could sometimes take multiple days and typically began around

306
00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:52.000
two or three am. So this testimony so far that

307
00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:56.960
the punishers is giving us is exactly what Cassie Ventura said,

308
00:21:57.279 --> 00:22:00.680
even how they approached these people when they first knock

309
00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:04.519
on the door, right, that's what you want to see consistency.

310
00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:09.039
He also testified the freak offfs were fairly predictable affairs,

311
00:22:09.279 --> 00:22:14.119
saying the rooms were always dimly lit with electric candlelight

312
00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:19.440
in sheets covering all the furniture. He said participants would

313
00:22:19.519 --> 00:22:23.960
start seated on the couch and create a look by

314
00:22:24.079 --> 00:22:28.119
rubbing baby oil on each other. He said this would

315
00:22:28.160 --> 00:22:32.640
sometimes be followed by oral or penetrative sex. He said

316
00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:37.480
Shawan Combs would give Hayes and Cassie Venturre direction, adding

317
00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:41.480
that Ventura seemed to seek cues from Combs and sometimes

318
00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:45.960
would WinCE or sigh in response to the instructions. He

319
00:22:46.039 --> 00:22:49.480
did recall a time on the stand when Combs through

320
00:22:49.640 --> 00:22:53.920
condoms on the couch and said he was quote ready

321
00:22:53.960 --> 00:22:57.720
to see them fuck. Another time, Combs dropped a stack

322
00:22:57.759 --> 00:23:00.480
of money on the bed as Hayes and Van Terror

323
00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:05.559
had sex and expressed his approval. So at that point

324
00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:10.240
the prosecution they had no further questions, and defense attorney

325
00:23:10.319 --> 00:23:14.240
Xavier Donaldson he approachased the witness stand to perform his

326
00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:19.640
cross examination of the punisher, so he asked the punisher

327
00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:23.720
when he first got into his career, and Hayes testified

328
00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:27.359
that he began exotic dancing on Labor Day weekend in

329
00:23:27.519 --> 00:23:31.240
nineteen ninety five, and it was at that point that

330
00:23:31.319 --> 00:23:36.200
he noted that he was coming up on a big anniversary.

331
00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:40.240
So you're talking thirty years. This guy's been an exotic

332
00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:43.000
dancer ever since he was twenty one years old. He

333
00:23:43.119 --> 00:23:47.200
said he had danced for hundreds of thousands of ladies

334
00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:52.079
over the past thirty years, including light dances, rubbing in

335
00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:57.960
what he called quote professional dry humps. Donaldson appeared to

336
00:23:58.039 --> 00:24:02.519
not understand the latter terms, so Hayes repeated it several times. Now,

337
00:24:02.559 --> 00:24:06.200
come on, Xavier Donaldson, you know what dry humping is.

338
00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:10.880
Hayes also testified that he wrote a self help book.

339
00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:18.200
I'm sorry, y'all, a lot of this trial is not funny,

340
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:22.559
but this guy's testimony just is so off the rails.

341
00:24:23.160 --> 00:24:26.480
He testified that he wrote a self help book about

342
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:30.880
his experiences with a rectile dysfunction, and the name of

343
00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:36.759
the book was In Search of Freezer Meat. Hey said

344
00:24:36.799 --> 00:24:40.759
the book detailed his journey trying to cure his condition

345
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:43.680
and that he tried to make light of the issue

346
00:24:43.720 --> 00:24:48.880
to make it relatable, saying on the stand, what's harder

347
00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:53.559
than I'm sorry, I'm not even going to cut this out,

348
00:24:54.279 --> 00:24:59.839
what's harder than freezer meat, explained the book's titled during crossing,

349
00:25:01.400 --> 00:25:06.960
I mean, you can't met that shit up, y'all. I'm sorry.

350
00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:11.039
Hayes then said under cross examination that he would not

351
00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:14.359
have had sex with inter during the sessions if he

352
00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:17.599
thought she was uncomfortable. So we're gonna get back serious

353
00:25:17.640 --> 00:25:22.519
now because that serious comment. Donaldson asked, quote, there were

354
00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:26.880
no clues about any discomfort. Correct. He went on to say,

355
00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:30.680
that's based on your twenty five years of experience doing

356
00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:35.480
dry humping on hundreds of thousands of women, and Hayes

357
00:25:35.759 --> 00:25:42.279
responded back correct. And obviously the route Donaldson is going

358
00:25:42.319 --> 00:25:46.359
here is to refute Cassie Ventura's comments on how she

359
00:25:46.559 --> 00:25:50.400
hated free calls. He's basically asking this guy, did she

360
00:25:50.440 --> 00:25:53.400
appear uncomfortable? Was she having a good time? That sort

361
00:25:53.400 --> 00:25:58.039
of thing? And the guy said she did not appear uncomfortable.

362
00:25:58.240 --> 00:26:03.880
So with that, the defense releases the witness. However, of course,

363
00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:08.279
the prosecution they're definitely going to redirect because honestly, they

364
00:26:08.279 --> 00:26:12.240
have a problem now because this guy is saying Cassie

365
00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:15.039
didn't mind any of us, and this is their witness,

366
00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:18.839
mind you. So they approach the witness box for redirect

367
00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:22.119
and they asked, quote, what made you think miss Ventura

368
00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:28.920
was enjoying herself? So Hayes describes performing oral sex on Ventura,

369
00:26:29.079 --> 00:26:33.039
after which he said she scooted towards him as if

370
00:26:33.079 --> 00:26:37.119
she were ready for intercourse. He said, Ventura also looked

371
00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:40.119
back at Combs as if to get his consent, and

372
00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:45.359
that's important, and Combs responded with quote, go ahead, enjoy yourself,

373
00:26:46.200 --> 00:26:49.359
and hay said, I assumed it was an enjoyable moment,

374
00:26:49.799 --> 00:26:51.759
but the fact that she turned around to look at

375
00:26:51.759 --> 00:26:55.200
Combs to get him to say go for it is important.

376
00:26:55.880 --> 00:26:59.440
The prosecutor then asked if there were any other indications

377
00:26:59.519 --> 00:27:03.200
Ventura enjoyed herselves, such as noises, or if Hayes had

378
00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:07.599
ever had interactions with Ventura outside of the freakalls, and

379
00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:11.200
Hayes said he had not had any interactions with her.

380
00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:15.039
He didn't really comment about noises. He was quoted as saying,

381
00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:18.519
I had no reason to believe she was not engaged

382
00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:21.039
in what we were doing. So at this point the

383
00:27:21.079 --> 00:27:25.440
prosecution releases Donaldson, he leaves the witness box and they

384
00:27:25.480 --> 00:27:29.960
call their next wetness, which is Gerard Gannon. Now he's

385
00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:34.799
a special agent with Homeland Security, and he testified that

386
00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:38.400
he was tasked with planning the federal raid on Shawn

387
00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:42.720
Combe's mansion on Star Island in Miami, and he testified

388
00:27:42.799 --> 00:27:47.119
that the raid involved many more agents than usual due

389
00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:50.559
to the size of the twenty thousand square foot property

390
00:27:50.759 --> 00:27:55.640
and possibly armed security being there. They didn't really know

391
00:27:55.720 --> 00:27:58.440
what they were going to walk in on, he said,

392
00:27:58.519 --> 00:28:01.720
comes home with search at three or four PM, which

393
00:28:01.759 --> 00:28:06.000
he said isn't typical for such raids. He said the

394
00:28:06.039 --> 00:28:09.480
reasoning behind that was they found out Comes and his

395
00:28:09.599 --> 00:28:12.200
family were scheduled to take a trip out of the

396
00:28:12.240 --> 00:28:15.279
country that day, and if you'll remember, Combs was on

397
00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:17.599
a boat like in the middle of the ocean during

398
00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:20.640
this raid. But they found out about this information and

399
00:28:20.720 --> 00:28:22.799
they thought it was best to wait for him and

400
00:28:22.839 --> 00:28:26.759
his family to leave before they conducted that raid on

401
00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:30.519
that home. The prosecutor then asked to give some specific

402
00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:34.880
details regarding the raid, and Ganning testified that they used

403
00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:37.920
a tank to push open the gate to the home,

404
00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:41.480
and he also noted that using a tank was not unusual,

405
00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:44.759
nor was breaking the gate to get into the home.

406
00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:48.039
It seemed like the prosecutor here is trying to head

407
00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:50.359
off the defense because you know they're going to get

408
00:28:50.440 --> 00:28:52.839
up and they're going to start asking about all these

409
00:28:52.880 --> 00:28:55.759
things that appeared to be above and beyond what you

410
00:28:55.799 --> 00:28:59.079
would normally do at a raid. But he described what

411
00:28:59.119 --> 00:29:02.400
they did with that game as standard practice in the

412
00:29:02.559 --> 00:29:06.640
interest of gaining quick access to the property. Ganning was

413
00:29:06.680 --> 00:29:09.720
also asked by prosecutors to walk through some of the

414
00:29:09.799 --> 00:29:13.200
items that they found on the raid of Shawn Combe's

415
00:29:13.799 --> 00:29:17.359
Star Island home, and he testified that in the main

416
00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:22.240
bedroom's closets, federal agents found parts of an AR fifteen

417
00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:29.440
rifle and corresponding accessories, including red dot optic plates, which

418
00:29:29.640 --> 00:29:32.759
he said make the shooter more accurate, and then they

419
00:29:32.799 --> 00:29:36.480
presented some photos of the bedroom. It showed a column

420
00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:41.079
of shells with AR fifteen components, as well as platform

421
00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:45.559
high heels, sex toys, baby oil, lubricant, and lingerie. He

422
00:29:45.640 --> 00:29:49.000
also testified the gun parts with serial numbers that had

423
00:29:49.079 --> 00:29:53.519
been defaced were also recovered from Shawncombe's bedroom, and he

424
00:29:53.559 --> 00:29:56.880
went on to say the defacement typically occurs when the

425
00:29:56.920 --> 00:30:00.079
gun holder wants to prevent law enforcement from being a

426
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:03.279
able to trace the weapon to an owner. Gannon also

427
00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:08.240
reviewed two gun magazines that he said contained nineteen rounds

428
00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:11.920
in one and ten rounds in the other. And it

429
00:30:12.079 --> 00:30:16.359
was at this point that court recessed for the day.

430
00:30:16.799 --> 00:30:21.240
We'll pick back up with Gannon's direct examination on our

431
00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:24.039
