Speaker 2: Combs called Ventura at least fifty times, in addition to

26
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 2: I have a premiere Monday for the biggest thing I've

27
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 2: ever done in my life. I have a black eye

28
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 2: and a fat lip. It was time for me to go.

29

Speaker 2: You are so sick for thinking it's okay to do

30
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 2: what you've done. Please stay far away from me. The

31
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 2: next day, Cassie texted, I still have crazy bruising from Friday.

32
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 2: I would be a dummy to subject myself to that

33
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 2: possibly happening again. When you get up the wrong way,

34
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 2: you always want to show me that you have the power,

35
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 2: and you knock me around. I'm not a rag doll,

36
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 2: I'm someone. Child defense attorney Tenny Garrigos used Penland's cross

37
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,480

38
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 2: the evidence, like texts, calls, and bank records that corroborate

39
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 2: Cassie's testimony. There is at least one meeting or freak

40
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 2: off that Cassie Ventura organized that prosecutors could not prove

41
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 2: Combs actually attended, and there was no record of a

42
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 2: meeting in Las Vegas for New Year's twenty seventeen, as

43

Speaker 2: expected Penland to go over similar charts regarding Jane in

45
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 2: Combe's meetings, but prosecutors only seemed concerned with refreshing the

46
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 2: jury's memory about Cassie's testimony. The last witness to take

47
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: the stand for the government is Seawan Combe's former assistant,

48

Speaker 2: year when federal agents stopped Combs and his entourage to

50
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 2: seize their electronics. Paul was found carrying cocaine and marijuana

51
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 2: candy on his person, corroborating recent clabs as in a

52
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 2: lawsuit that Paul was Diddy's drug mule. The defenses indicated

53
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: their case will only last two to five days, showing

54
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 2: their confidence that prosecutors have not proved their case jurors

55
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,440
