Combs' Agnifilo: Let me go home to his family. Thank you.
Judge: Ms. Comey, would you like a break before rebuttal? Yes? Fifteen minutes.
[break]
Jury leaves.
[during break]
AUSA Slavik: He bought up conduct that hasn't been charged, and said Mr. Combs was being targeted. We request curative instructions.
Judge: Mr. Agnifilo, you should have phrased it differently. But you went on to focus on lack of a conspiracy.
Judge: What about the targeting charge - how is that not improper?
Combs' Agnifilo: No one went to law enforcement and complained. It's fair comment.
AUSA Slavik: He said what he said: targeted. It's improper. A curative instruction is required.
[Silence]
AUSA Slavik: They made the argument pre-trial and they lost. This was inappropriate.
Judge: I intend to add something to the charge, they should focus on whether the Government proved each charge beyond a reasonable doubt.
AUSA Slavik: We'd like it now.
Judge: There is bedrock law that these arguments to the jury are improper. So I'll give the instruction -
Combs' Agnifilo: We'd like it Monday.
Judge: I'll do it when the jury comes back. 5 minutes
3:40 pm - jury is back
Judge: You heard that Mr. Combs was target. That is not to be considered, that is not your concern. Ms. Comey?
AUSA Comey: The defendant did not take no for an answer - certainly not from his girlfriends. He beat them
AUSA Comey: They suggest he didn't pay for sex, that there was no enterprise, and that the witnesses lied. But he flew s***worker across the country to have s***with Cassie and Jane while he masturbated. It was not for their conversation. It. Was. For. Sex.
AUSA Comey: Remember Daniel Phillip. He said he got paid for sex. When he had performance issue, he stopped getting paid. The Punisher? $500 when no sex, thousands when sex. I suspect you'll hear that uncalled witnesses were equally available to both sides.
AUSA Comey: Maybe some of these men would have worked for free, having s***in front of the masked masturbating celebrity. But. They. Got. Paid. The defendant is guilty of Counts 3 and 5.
AUSA Comey: An enterprise can have unlawful and lawful purposes. KK? Uncalled witnesses are equally available to both sides. Did they agree to at least 2? Yes. Quick hits: the kidnapping is corroborated by Kid Cudi. He said, She was forced to go along with them
AUSA Comey: Mr. Agnifilo said Mr. Combs is a fists guy - sure, when it is his girlfriends. With men, he needs guns. The London Hotel? He made Cassie go after he stomped on her face. She wasn't allowed to go home to her mom. That is a kidnapping.
AUSA Comey: The arson? Somehow the glove fell of someone's childlike hand. No. He said he would do it and he did. Cassie said it. Eddy Garcia? He believed he could not go to the police under the agreement. And Combs said, Watch out how you spend it. Bribery
AUSA Comey: This is a guy that can't get his own water bottle or plug in his own phone charger. He's the general. He delegates. KK knows the Wild King Nights involved escorts.
The only reason he needs 1000s of dollar in hotel rooms is to pay escorts
AUSA Comey: KK reads all of Combs' texts. So she knew. KK alone make Combs guilty of Count 1. D****? Mr. Agnifilo talked about conspiracy to distribute. But given d**** to Cassie and Jane is distribution, that is enough. Mr. Agnifilo claims "they WANTED it."
AUSA Comey: The defense's theory is the Cassie wanted to be urinated on, that Jane wanted to have s***with Anton after being beaten, and Mia wanted to be penetrated. That Cassie and Jane wanted to spend days in oil with UTIs in high heels, strange men
AUSA Comey: Mia said no. Cassie said no on her 29th birthday. Jane said no before Anton after being beaten. These woman stage whisper had no reason to lie. The defense say it's for money. But Cassie already got paid
AUSA Comey: If Cassie were lying and already got paid, why would she take the chance of perjury in a Federal trial? This is a woman standing up for what is right. Mia already settled in mediation. There's no reason for her to put on a show for you.
AUSA Comey: Jane doesn't intend to sue. These woman refuse to let trauma swallow up their whole lives. That struggle tells you these women told the truth. They broke free of the defendant's manipulation.
AUSA Comey: Jealousy is not a defense to s***trafficking. Jane picking out Cabral and Anton was her way of taking back some control. Yes she texted escorts - sometimes he told her, sometime she knew he would ask. She felt she had no choice. That's coercion
AUSA Comey: The defendant did hit Cassie during freak outs. Cassie said it, Daniel Phillip told you. And It's. On. Video. The defendant was in a towel. The freak out was not over. There's no separating the violence and the sex.
AUSA Comey: Remember when Cassie OD-ed in a hotel room in Long Island and they still had the freak off? When Jane performed oral s***on Anton after Combs beat her? That was trafficking.
AUSA Comey: Mr. Agnifilo said Cassie won a prize. What prize? S***with a UTI? Getting urinated in her mouth? It's ridiculous. They had a trauma bond. They were trapped. The cost of trapping them was a drop in the bucket for Mr. Number One on the Forbes List
AUSA Comey: Mr. Agnifilo said Cassie won a prize. What prize? S***with a UTI? Getting urinated in her mouth? It's ridiculous. They had a trauma bond. They were trapped. The cost of trapping them was a drop in the bucket for Mr. Number One on the Forbes List
AUSA Comey: Mr. Agnifilo said Cassie won a prize. What prize? S***with a UTI? Getting urinated in her mouth? It's ridiculous. They had a trauma bond. They were trapped. The cost of trapping them was a drop in the bucket for Mr. Number One on the Forbes List
AUSA Comey: Mr. Agnifilo said Cassie won a prize. What prize? S***with a UTI? Getting urinated in her mouth? It's ridiculous. They had a trauma bond. They were trapped. The cost of trapping them was a drop in the bucket for Mr. Number One on the Forbes List
AUSA Comey: He pushed her to continue after she vomited. He knew she didn't want to. The Inter-Continental? They claim he was intoxicated, that it was about a phone. He knew what he was doing. He kicks her. She calls security - so he stays, to keep control of her
AUSA Comey: I want to be clear. They called Anton because he was the only repeat player in LA. They stopped with Cabral after he tried to extort Jane. Whatever words he used about a conspiracy between Jane and Anton, there is no evidence for it.
AUSA Comey: He coerced Cassie and Jane in to this - and nothing happened. He raped Mia - and nothing happened. He beat Cassie and nothing happened. He beat Cassie in hotel on tape, then bribed the guards to buy it - and nothing happened. He was untouchable
AUSA Comey: He did not think these woman would speak - and that Kid Cudi and Deonte Nash and other men would back them up. The defendant is not a God. He stands equal before the law. Find him guilty.
Judge: Jurors, you may leave until Monday
