and today we're unraveling the high stakes drama surrounding one

4
00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:37.000

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

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

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 Sean Combs. Let's get started

18
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:57.000
and welcome back to what is going to be one

19
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:00.560
of the final episodes of the trial of Sean Combs.

20
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:04.079
I'll tell you why I say that in just a second,

21
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:05.879
but I need to give you a quick catch up

22
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:09.879
on what happened in what was a abbreviated week in

23
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:13.879
the Shawn Combs trial. Brend Then Paul testified about the

24
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:17.759
demands of his job as one of Ditty's former assistants.

25
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:21.520
He told jurors he once went without sleep for three days.

26
00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:26.080
He recalled being asked by thousands of dollars worth of drugs.

27
00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:29.319
He said that Ditty didn't take no for an answer

28
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:34.560
and compared his staff assistance to the US military's Sealed

29
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:39.120
Team six. Paul faced some cross examination from Brian Steele,

30
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:43.080
and during that cross he agreed that Ditty's ex girlfriend

31
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:48.319
Jane did not seem hesitant or apprehensive before freak ofsts.

32
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:52.000
Paul said Jane appeared to be a willing participant in

33
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:57.840
those sexual encounters, which contradicted her testimony to the prosecution.

34
00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:03.240
US government prosecutors walked jurors through text messages from Cassie

35
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:06.560
to Diddy. In one text, Ventura said she didn't deserve

36
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:09.560
to be beaten by him. She was quoted as saying

37
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:13.479
in that text that's not love, that's possession, and the

38
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:19.199
defense again attempted to portray these freakoffs as consensual encounters,

39
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:23.080
and they entered into evidence a March twenty seventeen text

40
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:27.080
message in which Cassie wrote, quote, I love our freak

41
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:29.680
offs when we both want it. And I don't know

42
00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:33.280
if that helped them too much. That insinuates he was

43
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:36.639
forcing her some of the times to do these freakofs.

44
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:39.000
So I don't know how much that actually helped the

45
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:42.280
defense entering that into evidence. But we are back with

46
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:46.919
the testimony for Monday, June twenty third, and big news

47
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:51.360
before the jury was let in as attorneys anticipated, closing

48
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:56.599
arguments would actually take place Thursday into Friday. So it

49
00:03:56.680 --> 00:03:59.360
looks like this is going to go to the jury

50
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:02.800
this week. Why is that and why am I so surprised? Well,

51
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:05.520
I'll tell you one reason I'm shocked is because of

52
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:10.360
the defense also said they are not calling any witnesses. Now.

53
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:14.319
The prosecution has called over sixty four during this trial.

54
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:18.319
The defense calling no one to the stand. That's shocking

55
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:21.279
to me. You're telling me you don't have anybody that

56
00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:24.920
is willing to testify on behalf of ditty or that

57
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:28.920
you could compel to testify on behalf of ditty that

58
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:34.839
could substantiate his claims corroborate his story. No one, they're

59
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:38.240
putting no one on the stand. Think about that, blew

60
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:41.560
my mind. They don't even have experts that they're calling

61
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:45.720
to refute what the prosecution has said are they're either

62
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:48.600
very confident they don't need that, or they just don't

63
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:51.879
have anybody that can refute it. But regardless, going to

64
00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:55.560
the jury this week. So I'll get into today's testimony,

65
00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:59.360
which was shorter than usual, and then after I cover

66
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:02.240
the testimony, I'm going to bring you on a look back,

67
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:04.959
So make sure you stay for the end of this one. Now,

68
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:08.360
the last time that I left you, Joseph Sircilio, a

69
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:12.959
special agent for Homeland Security Investigations, was on the stand,

70
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:16.040
and if you'll remember, this guy was going through charts.

71
00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:20.759
Then he confirmed that several sexually explicit videos showing Jane

72
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:24.720
with other men were cited in that summary chart. He

73
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:28.439
said the videos are collectively several hours long, and he

74
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:32.279
said Seawan Combs can be seen in the videos. The

75
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:35.639
jury then viewed clips of the videos and they were

76
00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:38.959
listening through headphones of course, the public and the price

77
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:42.560
cannot see those videos. They are all under seal. And

78
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:47.480
the jury watched at least thirteen clips of sexually explicit

79
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:51.759
videos recorded in November of twenty twenty one, December of

80
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:55.879
twenty one, February of twenty two, August of twenty two,

81
00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:59.319
in October of twenty two, and in that run of

82
00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:03.160
footage you will it was more than twelve minutes of

83
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:07.600
total footage. The chart also cited several other explicit videos

84
00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:11.120
that the jury did not view. Sir Cilio said he

85
00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:16.120
confirmed that about fifty explicit videos were recorded between December

86
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:19.959
seventeenth and December twenty first of twenty twenty one, fifty

87
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:23.319
different videos. He walked the jury through another chart that

88
00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:28.199
he said mapped out the records surrounding a September seventeenth

89
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:32.000
through nineteenth, twenty twenty three trip that Jane took with

90
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:35.120
Diddy to New York City, and that chart showed flight

91
00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:39.360
in hotel records for Jane and the entertainer known as Sly.

92
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:44.759
Records showed hotel stays at the Trump International Hotel in Manhattan.

93
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:48.319
The jury also saw records related to a September twenty

94
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:51.600
fourth through twenty six, twenty twenty three, stay in Miami

95
00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:54.759
records showed the hotel was booked with a credit card

96
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:58.839
held by combs travel manager. In round trip flights for

97
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:02.199
Jane and Sly were booked with that same card. Sir

98
00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:06.240
Cilier reviewed entries in another summary chart from September of

99
00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:09.680
twenty twenty three, when Jane met Diddy in New York.

100
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:14.240
Sir Cilio and Comey read text messages exchanged around that time,

101
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:17.879
many of which were previously read into the record during

102
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:21.759
the witness testimony by the prosecution. Now, some of the

103
00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:25.040
texts between Jane and Combs, in which she first said

104
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:28.639
she wouldn't get to Manhattan because she knew he wanted

105
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:31.519
a hotel night. We've already covered all that. I'm not

106
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:34.160
going to cover that again now. In one thread on

107
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:38.800
that summary chart, there was recounted a text between Combs

108
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:43.480
and someone from Cowboys for Angels about hiring an escort.

109
00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:46.759
The jury then saw messages that did he sent to

110
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:51.600
an entertainer from the Cowboys for Angels escort service, telling

111
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:55.519
him when to arrive at the hotel. Hours later, an

112
00:07:55.600 --> 00:08:00.279
employee for Cowboys for Angels texted Combs saying he's utill

113
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:04.079
needed to pay six hundred dollars. Comb's texted back quote

114
00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:08.639
laugh out loud, he couldn't even perform. The employee explained

115
00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:10.959
to Combs that he was paying for the man's time,

116
00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:14.879
not his performance, and Combs told the employees she should

117
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:18.720
be nice to him, adding that he was a longtime customer.

118
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:22.079
The jury then saw other texts between Jane and one

119
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:26.319
of the Combes accusers and an entertainer called Sly coordinating

120
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:30.560
his arrival at the hotel. They also saw messages involving

121
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:35.360
Brendan Paul, a former assistant for Combs, coordinating an IV

122
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:39.120
drop for three people. The jury then saw more text

123
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:42.840
between Shawn Comb's and Christina Korm days later. This is

124
00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:46.559
in September of twenty twenty three, and Combs told Korm

125
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:50.639
to keep someone named Chelsea at a Miami hotel and

126
00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:54.039
get a hotel suite at a different hotel for him

127
00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:57.399
in Jane, he told Korm that Chelsea would move from

128
00:08:57.399 --> 00:09:01.799
the hotel to his Miami residence. Jane left, and the

129
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:05.480
chart also included a flight wrecord book by Combs travel

130
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:10.639
manager for Jane from Miami to Los Angeles. In more texts,

131
00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:14.120
Comes texted Jane asking if she wanted to see him,

132
00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:19.080
and an entertainer called Paul. Comes later messaged Paul telling

133
00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:22.200
him to let him know when he was close. Now.

134
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:26.159
In that time frame, Jane was also texting an entertainer

135
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:31.240
called Sly about traveling to Los Angeles from Atlanta. Comes

136
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:34.759
was messaging his travel manager about booking a flight and

137
00:09:34.799 --> 00:09:38.600
hotel for Sly, and Jane was then relaying that trivel

138
00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:43.519
information to Sly. So right there, they're showing that Jane

139
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:46.639
and Combs they were in cahoots on this thing. The

140
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:50.840
jury then saw several messages between Combs and Christina Korum

141
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:54.039
in that same time frame, including messages in which he

142
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:57.840
requested five thousand cash and she netified him that some

143
00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:01.279
baby a little had been dropped off. Cilia said several

144
00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:05.720
explicit videos were taken during those days. Around that time,

145
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:09.000
Jane sent Sly a cash app payment and a large

146
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:12.759
amount of cash was deposited into one of his accounts.

147
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:16.799
The jury was shown messages around November fourteenth of twenty

148
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:20.200
twenty one, when Christina Korn booked a hotel in Los

149
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:23.679
Angeles for Combs, and Jane Korn texted him when an

150
00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:27.519
assistant was there setting up the room. Later that day,

151
00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:32.279
Korn texted Comb's quote, hotel called Paul coming up now.

152
00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:35.039
Paul is someone who Combs and Jane would pay to

153
00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:38.559
have sex with on multiple occasions. They paid this guide

154
00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:41.960
during hotel nights, but he also worked with Combs as

155
00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:46.039
a trainer. Sir Cilia then reviewed records from January of

156
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:49.440
twenty twenty three, when the government asserts Diddy and Jane

157
00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:53.639
hosted three entertainers during a hotel night in La Comb

158
00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:56.759
sent Jane an audio message that said, quote, Hey, let

159
00:10:56.840 --> 00:11:00.080
me know right now if I should book debauchery for

160
00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:05.159
nine o'clock. Yes or no answer? Jane responded, yeah, it's

161
00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:07.559
a thumb up. She then asked him for money to

162
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:11.000
buy new clothes. The record showed and Comb sent another

163
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:15.559
audio message that said, I sent you fifteen thousand dollars,

164
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:19.120
baby girl. The jury then saw flight records for all

165
00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:23.759
three entertainers come scheduled one of the entertainers through Cowboys

166
00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:27.679
for Angels. Jane paid them eleven hundred dollars through the

167
00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:32.200
cash app and texting Combs send this as proof of payment.

168
00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:35.440
The jury then saw records from the days around October

169
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:39.919
eighteenth of twenty twenty three. Now remember. Jane previously testified

170
00:11:40.039 --> 00:11:43.519
she and Diddy had a sobriety party in Beverly Hills

171
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:48.360
around that time, and Joseph Cirillo confirmed this is the

172
00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:53.320
summary chart's last entry before Cassie Ventur's November of twenty

173
00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:56.679
twenty three, civil lawsuait so Cilia them walked through some

174
00:11:56.799 --> 00:11:59.600
of the text messages between Jane and Combs from the

175
00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:04.000
days before the sobriety party, which the jury had previously seen.

176
00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:06.799
In the messages, Jane said, in part she didn't want

177
00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:10.279
to be mistreated and quote, I don't feel like performing

178
00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:13.120
loveless cold sex and I told you all about that.

179
00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:17.480
The jury saw messages indicating Jane went to Combe's la

180
00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:22.120
home the next day. In a later conversation, Christina Korum

181
00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:27.360
message comes assistant Brendan Paul and other assistants about prepping

182
00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:31.240
a hotel room. The jury also saw messages between Combs

183
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:34.480
and an escort for cowboys and angels coordinating a time

184
00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:37.519
to go to the hotel. Hours later, Comb sent an

185
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:42.759
entertainer named Paul the hotel. Information records show three thousand

186
00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:47.200
dollars was deposited into an account of the entertainer just

187
00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:51.399
shortly after In the days following the hotel reservation, Jane

188
00:12:51.480 --> 00:12:55.080
message Combs asking if he could put something in her account,

189
00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:59.159
saying she felt quote violated and manipulated, and at that

190
00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:03.679
point the rosecution rusted and tiny. Gergos picked up with

191
00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:08.000
the cross. Gegos goes through a September twenty twenty three

192
00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:12.720
invoice from Shawn Combe's Triveal Management company, and it listed expenses.

193
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:17.159
It included flights for Jane and the entertainer's slide before

194
00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:21.080
the trip to New York. The invoice said various expenses

195
00:13:21.159 --> 00:13:26.480
for shawing Combs. Gegos highlighted that the invoice lists Combs personally,

196
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:31.320
not one of his business entities. Circilio confirmed that many

197
00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:34.840
of the incidents listed in the summary chart occurred before

198
00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:38.240
April of twenty twenty three, when Diddy began paying rent

199
00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:42.039
for Jane's new home. Circilio also confirmed there could have

200
00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:44.480
been times that Jane and Comb saw each other that

201
00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:49.200
were not included in the summary report. Gegos then addressed

202
00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:53.000
a certain timeframe November eighth through the tenth of twenty

203
00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:57.840
twenty one, that Sircilio had touched on in testimony under

204
00:13:57.879 --> 00:14:01.960
direct and Geargo's pointed to some messages that Jane sent

205
00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:06.000
during this timeframe that were not included in that summary chart.

206
00:14:06.759 --> 00:14:10.320
After Comes texted Jane, for example, asking if she wanted

207
00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:14.759
to see him and an entertainer called Paul, Jane wrote

208
00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:18.519
the following quote. She was horny, according to one of

209
00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:22.240
the messages that were highlighted by Gergos. Comes then asked

210
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:25.720
her what she wanted to do, telling her to be explicit.

211
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:30.039
Jane then texted him descriptions of sexual interactions she wanted

212
00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:33.840
to have with Paul and Combs. According to the exchange

213
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:38.120
that Gargoes highlighted in other texts, Jane sent explicit messages

214
00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:41.320
to the entertainer known as Sly and told him she

215
00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:44.559
wanted to see him. Garrghos then have the jury watch

216
00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:48.960
a sexually explicit video clip from November tenth of twenty

217
00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:52.000
twenty one. The jury then watched several other clips of

218
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:56.200
sexually explicit videos from November two December of twenty twenty one,

219
00:14:56.279 --> 00:14:59.440
and they totalled more than five minutes. The jury was

220
00:14:59.480 --> 00:15:04.080
then shown messages between Jane and Sly regarding two separate

221
00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:07.879
encounters in December of twenty twenty one, when Jane asked

222
00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:11.960
Sly to join her and Sean Combs. After one encounter,

223
00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:15.919
Jane wrote to sly, quote so happy you are such

224
00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:19.279
a sweetheart, and thank you for making me feel beautiful.

225
00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:23.039
In another message, she wrote, quote getting flashbacks, and she

226
00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:26.879
followed that up with a drooling emulgi And with that,

227
00:15:27.399 --> 00:15:30.519
the jury was dismissed for the day. Now, it seems

228
00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:33.240
like a short day, but it really was not. Over

229
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:37.480
an hour of today's testimony was spent viewing videos of

230
00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:41.440
freak alls, which were not shown outside of the jury.

231
00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:44.440
Gergo said she had about an hour more of cross

232
00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:48.919
examination for the current witness, Joseph Cicilio, and they did

233
00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:52.000
get into mentioning. As I told you at the beginning,

234
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:54.720
they have about four hours of closing statements, So this

235
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:58.639
is the last witness. Kind of disappointing to me. I

236
00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:01.440
wanted to see Christina on that stand. I think she

237
00:16:01.559 --> 00:16:04.919
knows more than anybody. I don't know why the prosecution

238
00:16:05.159 --> 00:16:07.840
did not make her take the stand, but they didn't.

239
00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:12.120
By Friday, as I said, this shit's gonna go to

240
00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:15.559
the jury, and sometime next week we're gonna find out

241
00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:20.840
if Combs is guilty or innocent of these federal charges

242
00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:23.360
and of course, I'm gonna keep you posted, but let

243
00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:26.279
me get you caught up real quick on this trial

244
00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:30.559
just kind of a rehash of everything we've heard so far,

245
00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:33.399
and of course, in that first week, as a matter

246
00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:36.559
of fact, the first two witnesses called by the prosecution

247
00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:41.919
Israel Floores, a former security guard at the Intercontinental Hotel,

248
00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:45.399
and Daniel Phillip, who was a male stripper, said he

249
00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:49.159
was invited multiple times by Cassie to have sex with

250
00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:52.919
her while mister Combe's watch and masturbated. He said he

251
00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:58.200
had overheard Combs beating Cassie in another room and Cassie crying.

252
00:16:58.399 --> 00:17:02.240
The third witness of this trial, Cassie Ventura, the case's

253
00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:07.039
key witness, began her testimony nearly nine months pregnant. She

254
00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:10.319
cried as she spoke about freak offs, and to me,

255
00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:16.160
her testimony was really the best relative to believability. I

256
00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:19.640
think everything she said was honest and the way she felt.

257
00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:23.359
Kid Cuddy testified and week two, that was the guy

258
00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:28.319
that had the molotav cocktail thrown onto his Porsche burn

259
00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:30.240
a hole in it. Of course, did he threaten to

260
00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:34.039
blow up his car all those sorts of things. Dawn Richard,

261
00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:38.920
A singer in two groups associated with Seawan Combs. She

262
00:17:39.119 --> 00:17:42.839
testified that she saw him punch, kick, and slap Cassie,

263
00:17:43.000 --> 00:17:47.640
among other things. Carrie Morgan, who had a seventeen year

264
00:17:47.799 --> 00:17:52.720
friendship with Cassie destroyed by Shawn Combs, remember her testimony.

265
00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:57.440
She testified that her and Cassie went to Jamaica and

266
00:17:57.559 --> 00:18:00.440
she saw Combs beat the shit out of Cassie Dragger

267
00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:04.319
by her hair a striker in the head several times.

268
00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:08.720
David James, a former assistant to Seawan Comb's, testified about

269
00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:13.440
Ditty's drug use mainly and also told about that possible

270
00:18:13.519 --> 00:18:17.839
confrontation that never happened with sug Knight. George Kaplan, another

271
00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:20.799
former assistant, said he left his job because he was

272
00:18:20.839 --> 00:18:24.000
not comfortable with the physical behavior that had been going

273
00:18:24.039 --> 00:18:28.599
on between Cassie, Shawn Combs, and even Regina Ventura. Cassie

274
00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:33.240
Ventura's mother testified discussing the twenty thousand dollars she was

275
00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:37.440
forced to wire Ditty that he eventually wired back because

276
00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:39.880
of the threats that he was going to release a

277
00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:44.119
sex tape. Charrey Hayes testified, of course, that was the

278
00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:47.640
escort known as the Punisher, and he was hired for

279
00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:50.839
eight to twelve freak offs. He said he was paid

280
00:18:50.880 --> 00:18:55.039
two thousand dollars at the time. After his testimony, Gerard

281
00:18:55.240 --> 00:19:00.160
Gannon and the agent with Homeland Security he testified about

282
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:04.160
that twenty twenty four raid on the Miami Beach, Florida

283
00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:09.799
luxury estate that was owned by Combes. Capricorn Clark testified,

284
00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:12.960
of course, she was a longtime employee of Ditty's who

285
00:19:13.200 --> 00:19:16.960
started out as a personal assistant and ended up becoming

286
00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:21.000
a brand director for one of Combe's largest brands. She

287
00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:25.359
testified that she also witnessed a lot of abuse with

288
00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:30.480
Seawan Combe's, especially as it related to Cassie Deonte Nash,

289
00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:33.640
probably the most personable of all the people that took

290
00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:36.640
the stand, worked as a stylist for both Shawn Combs

291
00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:40.720
and Cassie Ventura. He testified about the beatings that he

292
00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:45.880
witnessed some physical altercations he got into personally with Seawan

293
00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:50.279
Comb's and then after that. Mia testified, of course, Mia

294
00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:53.319
was a pseudonym, said she had worked for mister Combes

295
00:19:53.400 --> 00:19:58.079
for eight years and various capacities. She said that Combs

296
00:19:58.119 --> 00:20:01.839
forced her to perform oral sex with him and then

297
00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:06.119
raped her at one point, and she testified a while.

298
00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:10.920
It was three days worth of testimony for me. Eddie Garcia,

299
00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:15.079
a security officer at the Intercontinental Hotel, He had some

300
00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:20.359
interesting testimony. Remember Eddie, my angel was what Shawn Combes

301
00:20:20.440 --> 00:20:22.799
referred to him as of course, he was the one

302
00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:25.599
that was paid one hundred thousand dollars in a brown

303
00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:29.599
paper bag to make that surveillance video that never went away.

304
00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:35.839
Thanked God. Derek Ferguson, a former CFO of bad Boy Entertainment,

305
00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:42.559
also testified about some financial aspects of Diddy's companies. Brianna Bungalin,

306
00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:46.240
who was a friend of Cassie's, She testified about Combs

307
00:20:46.319 --> 00:20:51.519
holding her over a seventeenth floor apartment balcony. If you'll remember.

308
00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:55.559
Of course, Jane testified, and I would classify her as

309
00:20:55.680 --> 00:20:59.480
the second most critical witness in the trial. She dated

310
00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:03.160
Cones from twenty twenty one until his arrest. Described kind

311
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:06.480
of an intense love affair with him turned into a

312
00:21:06.519 --> 00:21:10.319
pattern of what she termed as unwanted sex with male prostitutes.

313
00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:12.839
And as I've said before, I feel like she was

314
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:16.799
a mistake to put on that stand. Andre Lemon, another

315
00:21:17.279 --> 00:21:22.319
security homeland security investigator, he detailed the guns, the drugs,

316
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:26.799
et cetera that he found in Combe's La Area mansion

317
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:31.440
during a raid. Jonathan Perez, a former personal assistant for Combs,

318
00:21:31.519 --> 00:21:35.960
he testified about setting up those wild King Knights. Brendan

319
00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:40.680
Paul testified, another former assistant to Combs, about getting drugs

320
00:21:40.680 --> 00:21:44.799
for Combs, setting up while King Knights. And of course, Asirio,

321
00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:50.480
the last guy to testify, who will end his testimony.

322
00:21:50.519 --> 00:21:55.279
It looks like tomorrow, so we'll see. That's it. That's

323
00:21:55.359 --> 00:21:57.400
all I got for you. That was just a quick,

324
00:21:58.119 --> 00:22:01.920
super quick catch up of what a card during this

325
00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:04.960
whole trial, and it's all come down to this. Thank
