Day one summary:

We heard from the hotel security at the scene of the 2016 Cassie beating (now an LAPD officer) and a Male Revue manager (male stripper) named Daniel Phillip who participated in Freak Offs with Cassie while Diddy filmed.

Theres gonna be a video/screenshot of video of Cassie having what appears to be a good time thats gonna obfuscate the sympathy people have for her

to clarify, it would not change how I feel personally

but I think Diddys team has a video of her having a good time as one of their aces

for being a sexual deviant?

he and Cassie already settled their issues…

the dancer saying he wasn’t afraid and didn’t even want money, just the attention that came from being around celebrities was enough is definitely another telling part the defense gonna use

cause for sexual trafficking to stick, the witness has to feel they feared for their life during the actions and felt they had no other choice either via coercion or intimidation (statements he didn’t make), not years later like the dancer said

so the male dancer only felt threatened AFTER Diddy took a picture of his ID upon which they let him leave with a wad of cash but not prior to when pissing/fucking on Cassie

man this s*** is dumb bro. nigga is a prostitute. Diddy is a s***freak. Cassie was an abused s***slave that already settled how is this a RICO man

then a cop admitted he recorded a video of the hotel incident and took it home to show his wife
this s*** gone be just like YSL

Prosecution: who directed you to urinate on ms Ventura

Male dancer: they said I shouldn’t go all the way

i see piss coming, i move. she saw piss coming, she stayed

nigga said they told him “let out a little at a time, don’t go full, like take a leak on her” bruh

we been in a Boondocks episode since 2016

Day 2 of the Diddy trial has started

All rise!
Judge Subramanian: Let's try to get through these issues efficiently as we have the jurors waiting... We have a letter from a juror that we will make Court Exhibit 1. On the videos, when will they be offered into evidence?
AUSA Johnson: This afternoon

Judge Subramanian: This is about evidence that is coming into the case. The public has a right to know what is happening at trial.

I don't see how we would navigate that concern. There's a potential impact on the jurors of signaling some evidence requires sealing.

AUSA Johnson: We just wouldn't show the videos to the courtroom gallery. And the jurors and everyone in the well would wear headphones.

These materials are sexually explicit or involve nudity. One has submitted a letter

Combs' Agnifilo: This is adult p***ography, that's what this is.

So it's narrowly tailored.

Our application is only that the visual images and the audio is within the ambit of the sealing order.

We could ask questions tastefully.

Combs' Agnifilo: What would the NYT or WSJ do with this? [Note: they are not the only press] Sometimes things get unsealed and published

Judge: On the two incidents with Ms. Ventura, when we discussed this last week-
Defense: The assault in Connecticut, messages between Ms. Ventura and Mr. Combs, it's relevant.
Judge: Let's see if there's any issue
AUSA Johnson: It should be excluded

Combs' Teny Geragos: He suspected she was cheating on him.

She did not answer her phone.

She got into a bar fight and tried to kill someone.

So it's relevant, to his suspicions.

And her substance abuse outside of their sexual relationship.

Teny Geragos: She was taking d**** while close with her family, in another state.
Judge: I overrule the Government's objection.
This can be asked about. Now, prior consistent statements. We're talking about a sequencing issue - are they on direct, or in rebuttal?

AUSA Johnson: In their opening, they said Ms. Ventura made her own choices.

They asked, Who really had control in this relationship?

Clearing begging the answer that it was Ms. Ventura. Exhibit B315, the threat to release the s***tape - they said only she had it

Combs' Alexandra Shapiro: We submit that these are hearsay until re-direct
Judge: If they come in, they're in. You don't object?
Shapiro: We do. What we said in the opening was that Mr. Combs-
Judge: You seemed to say she was lying about threats to release videos

Combs' Shapiro: The predicate for prior consistent statements hasn't been met.
Judge: I find that it has, for this exhibit. The defense opening said there will million$ of reasons for people to testify here. That's the attack that was used. As to B316 too

Judge: But the standard has not yet been reached as to B332 and B339. OK, get Mr. Phillip in the witness box then bring in the jury.

Jury enters

All rise!
Combs' Xavier Donaldson: So to continue - you returned to the Gramercy Hotel?
Male dancer Phillip: Yes
