Deonte Nash was kinda funny

Performing fraud/weapons charge versus arson/rape/attempted murder are very different things

Also g-d forbid that happens, NY is definitely getting him on state charges

Trial has started

[Before jury in]
Combs' Alexandra Shapiro: The articles in the scrap book are not being offered for the truth-
AUSA: The article say that Combs wanted to get to the bottom of Biggie's murder, but "the Fed's are investigating us." They've been trying to get this in

Judge Subramanian: If it went back into the jury room as evidence, it could be prejudicial to the prosecution. But to let the jurors look at it, as a demonstrative.
AUSA: If they flip it through, OK. If it's passed around, we'd want a limiting instruction.

Judge: Who is going to be cross examining Mia?
Combs's Shapiro: Mr. Steel.
Combs' Steel: What if we redact the part about Biggie's murder?
Judge: It's more than that. You concede the articles are not relevant to this case. It's that the scrapbook was put together

Judge: You've been given some leeway, I'll leave it to you.
Combs' Steel: I don't want to waive the issue. Thank you.
Judge: The social media posts, there's an objection- I overrule it. The text messages, my sense is there are parts in the threads that are hearsay

I hope

AUSA: They are trying to show that the defendant was going through "some heavy sh*t" and that's why he was asking this way.
Judge: What about her smelling her own armpit?
AUSA: I don't think that's relevant
Judge: OK, 401

Puff needs to wear a MAGA hat during the trial to get Trumps attention.
Then have an outburst during the trial saying “this is what they tried to do to Trump, the greatest president ever!”

Pardon guaranteed

AUSA: At 8:55 am the defense sent me a slew of messages about Deonte Nash. They should be excluded.
Judge: Mr. Donaldson, what are these?
Combs' Xavier Donaldson: We want two photos in. The rest are for impeachment.
AUSA: I was told of the photos last night, fine

Judge: Bring Mr. Nash back, and then our jury.
AUSA: We re-booked this witness' flight for 2 pm. We are hoping he will be off the stand in time to make that flight
All rise!
Combs' Donaldson: How are you?
Deonte Nash: Blessed...
Donaldson: DX 1806 - texts from you

Aite, imma call Mr Cobbs

"YOUR SOUL IS REQUIRED IN HELL"

Combs' Donaldson: What was Capricorn Clark's role in 2011 - the mix tape?
Nash: She was gone.
Donaldson: What did she work on when she was there?
Nash: Maybe the photo shoot you guys showed yesterday. I learned a lot from Capricorn, actually.

Combs' Donaldson: Do you recall a picture of Cassie and green hair?
Nash: That was a group idea. I walked the carpet with Cassie in NY at the VMAs. It was a curated look.
Donaldson: You had to get approval?
Nash: Yes. From Puff.

Combs' Donaldson: You say Mr. Combs was kicking Cassie on the ground, the unfortunate eye-gash incident, correct?
Nash: Yes.
Donaldson: You didn't tell the prosecutors she was kicked while bleeding?
Nash: They didn't ask. I only answered what they asked

Combs' Donaldson: You know Cassie was in a relationship with Kid Cudi while she was in a relationship with Mr. Combs?
Nash: Oh, OK.
Donaldson: You didn't know?
Nash: I thought she and Puff had broken up.

Combs' Donaldson: Cassie was in South Africa, you were at the Revolt conference in Miami, correct?
Nash: Yes. I was there to style Lil Kim.
Donaldson: So you-
Nash: Yes I put her together with Michael B. Jordan. I mean, he fine, she fine, why not?
Judge: Hold on!

Combs' Donaldson: So Gina was in Miami too-
Nash: No, no, you don't put that on me. They kept me away from seeing Gina.
Donaldson: Cassie got upset?
Nash: She said, Why does he keep humiliating me and my career.
Donaldson: She was upset?
Nash: Not really

Combs' Donaldson: You set her up with Michael B. Jordan?
Nash: Yes. And Mia drove it home, making sure she had his number.
Donaldson: So a Bad Boy employee set her up with Michael Jordan-
Nash: That's Michael B. Jordan, don't mess that up

Combs' Donaldson: Do you know Andre Branch?
Nash: No.
Donaldson: You were aware Cassie was in a relationship with Andre Branch?
Nash: Oh, the cute football player? Yes. But I never met him.
Donaldson: And in 2016 with Brandon of the NFL - I mean, NBA, sorry

Combs' Donaldson: In these texts, you talk with Cassie about Michael B. Jordan. You say, No one better say sh*t to me, LY. What is LY?
Nash: Love you. Or maybe it's a typo, LY know everything. I don't remember - I'm sure we were being antagonized by your client

Combs' Donaldson: Cassie was upset by Gina?
Nash: She'd say, Girl, let's go out and do our thing.
Donaldson: Do what she want to do?
Nash: Actually we are both pretty chill, stayed in the house a lot. But that would be fair.

Combs' Donaldson: Let's read these messages. You do the blue.
Nash: Oh, you got some names in here.
Donaldson: Just go ahead.
Nash: Where you going?
Donaldson as Cassie: Secret trip out town
Nash: Giiiiiirl
[laughs]

Nash: Good friends don't pry, that's not my method. I just replied, "Giiiirrrlll"
Combs' Donaldson: Highlight the green part. Cassie is telling you, Oct 30, 2013 after the incident with the cut on the face, she says, I've already been turning up too much
