The defendant’s case against the songs executive is based on the testimony of a second former partner, which is crucial to the lawyer’s case against him on charges of sex trafficking and criminal conspiracy. Significant events from the week included:
Combs paid$ 100,000 to get video of Cassie being beat.
Eddy Garcia, a motel security guard, testified about getting$ 100 000 from Combs to record a 2016 assault on Casandra” Cassie” Ventura. The 33-year-old protection official described the situation surrounding the purchase. He recalled a frustrated and stammering Combs calling him first, who had immediately sought to obtain the resort’s elevator footage of him assaulting Cassie. Combs expressed worry that his reputation may be harmed by the recording’s public exposure. After that, Garcia described feeling anxious when he ran into a bright Combs at an business. Before Garcia turned over the safety saving on a USB device, Combs addressed him as “Eddy, my angels.” Garcia stated that he had to agree to keep the conversation about the incident under wraps, that he had to confirm that the security agreement was the only copy, and that he had to do so. Garcia went into detail about the following money transaction and described Combs as frightened at the time of their initial contact.
Combs is notified by the prosecutor about possible expulsion from the court.
Following a lawyer’s observation that Combs “nods violently” during trials, Judge Arun Subramanian observed him “noding rapidly and looking at the jurors” during cross-examination and side discussions on Thursday. Maurene Comey, the prosecutor, expressed concern that Combs’s actions successfully constituted non-verbal evidence through his equitable nodding as his attorney posed questions. After the judge declared the behavior “absolutely undesirable,” defense lawyer Marc Agnifilo assured the courtroom during lunchtime that he would take the case with Combs after making a strong notice. He also issued a strong warning that he would take the prosecution’s request for jury instructions or possibly more drastic measures, including removing Combs from the courtroom.
Mia reveals fresh facts in the sexual assault case:” I am also brainwashed.”
A former Combs staff who used the name” Mia” to testify before the court informing her that Combs had sexually assaulted her numerous times throughout her eight-year tenure. She believed that each incident would be the last because she believed these instances were “random, irregular, and so curiously spaced out.” She claimed that the original incident occurred at his 40th birthday party, when he badly touched and smacked her. She later claimed that he sexually assaulted her in a guest room at his Los Angeles mansion. In a cross-examination, defense attorney Brian Steel made the claim that she had made these claims to profit from” the# MeToo money grab against Sean Combs.” Steel also provided evidence of loving messages she had sent to Combs after her employment was over. He questioned her about a 2019 language in which she described a fantasy where Combs saved her from getting trapped in a pull with R. Kelly, who has since been found innocent of sex trafficking. Mia’s reaction was,” I was also brainwashed,”” I was still brainwashed.”
Person describes close calls she had with Combs during their marriage.
During her three-year connection with Combs, which lasted until his imprisonment in September, a witness who used the name” Jane” sadly described close encounters she had with adult sex employees. The four-day account that Cassie previously gave is mirrored in Jane’s ongoing testimony, which is expected to continue into the next week. Jane claimed she only wanted to keep in touch with Combs, whom she loved, because she didn’t want to participate in these encounters. Prior to this, Cassie had previously described numerous “freak-offs” involving male sex workers over the course of several days that had been influenced by drugs, and Combs observed, directed, and engaged in self-gratification. Similar events, which she referred to as “hotel nights,” occurred from 2021 until August, when Jane experienced them. She described how these encounters influenced her initially romantic relationship with Combs, particularly after he started paying her for her living expenses. The defense team contends that Jane and Combs had consensual conversations, alleging that Jane’s complaints to Combs were the result of jealousy.
