1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,559 Speaker 1: Crime al art hourly update breaking crime news Now. 2 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:08,200 Speaker 2: I'm Sidney Sumner. Closing arguments are underway in Sean Diddy 3 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 2: Combe's federal sex trafficking trial. US attorney Christy Slavic delivered 4 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,960 Speaker 2: prosecutor's statement in about six hours Thursday, reminding the jury 5 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,959 Speaker 2: of the testimony they heard and clarifying what they want 6 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 2: jurors to focus on in their deliberations. Sean Combs is 7 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 2: charged with racketeering and two counts each of sex trafficking 8 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 2: and transportation to engage in prostitution. The final two counts 9 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 2: are fairly straightforward, but Slavic spent a considerable amount of 10 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 2: time explaining how their evidence proves the remaining three. Slavic 11 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 2: broke down Combe's alleged criminal enterprise for the first time today. 12 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,559 Speaker 2: Slavic refers to Chief of staff Christina Korum as Comb's 13 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 2: most loyal lieutenant, who knew what he was doing at 14 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 2: all times and even responded to texts using his phone. 15 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 2: Slavic says combs security guards d Rock Uncle Polly, Fahim 16 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 2: Mohammed and Roger Bohuns were also major players who were 17 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 2: at Comb's side for some of the most violent and 18 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 2: threatening acts. Slavic finally mentions foot soldiers, young and eager 19 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,960 Speaker 2: assistants who never batted an eye when instructed to do 20 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 2: something by Comb's korum or a security guard, even when 21 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,680 Speaker 2: it meant facilitating a crime. Slavic reminded the jury that 22 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 2: they must only find that Combe's enterprise participated in two 23 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 2: predicate acts or crimes for Combs to be guilty of racketeering. 24 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 2: She goes down a long list of crimes they presented 25 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 2: evidence of, giving an overview of the testimony associated with 26 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 2: each drug distribution. Comb's assistants helped him obtain drugs which 27 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:45,040 Speaker 2: Combs then passed to others, including Jane and Cassie. Kidnapping, 28 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 2: Combs forced Cassie Ventura to stay in a hotel while 29 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 2: the injuries he caused healed. Colmbs made Capricorn Clark accompany 30 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 2: him to kid Cuddy's house when he arrived at her 31 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 2: apartment with the gun. Even prior to that, Comb's security 32 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 2: guard held Clark against her will until she passed a polygraph, 33 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 2: threatening to throw her in the East River if she failed. 34 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 2: Arson Slavic asserts that while there is no direct evidence 35 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 2: tying Combs to kid Cutty's car, bombing. It's no coincidence 36 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 2: that Combs threatened to blow up the car and just 37 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 2: a few weeks later the car was blown up. Bribery. 38 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 2: Christina Korum helped Comb secure the deletion of the Intercontinental 39 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 2: Hotel security footage, knowing he could be charged with assault 40 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 2: if the footage was taken to law enforcement. Witness tampering, 41 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,359 Speaker 2: Combs worked with Christina Korum and security guard d Rock 42 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 2: to try to get to Jane and former assistant Mia 43 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 2: before law enforcement. Slavic finally argues that the alleged sex 44 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 2: trafficking of Cassie and Jane can also be considered predicate acts. 45 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 2: Slovic makes it absolutely clear that the jury only needs 46 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 2: to determine if Jane and Cassie were coerced into participating 47 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 2: in just one freak off or hotel night. Slavic acknowledges 48 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 2: that both women agreed to try the arrangement at the 49 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 2: beginning of their relationships, and it's likely that not all 50 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 2: of them were the product of force, fraud or coercion, 51 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 2: but it's quite clear that some of them were. Slavic 52 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 2: also points out that the law does not require Jane 53 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,679 Speaker 2: or Cassi to have explicitly said no to combs or 54 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 2: try to escape to be sex trafficking victims. Today, the 55 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 2: defense will have their turn for closing arguments. If their 56 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 2: statement is anything like their case in chief, the jury 57 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 2: may be deliberating this afternoon. Will Combe's fate be decided 58 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 2: by this weekend?
