    [Flores' video of the video, with his voice over (including about how shiny his shoes were) is played for the jury]
    AUSA: Did you work the next day?
    Flores: No, I had the next two days off.
    AUSA: When you came back in, did you look for the video?
    Flores: I did

    Cross examination

    Judge Subramanian: Cross examination.
    Combs' Brian Steel: Your said your report was the 5 Ws, right?
    Flores: Yes.

  • May 12, 2025

    Steel: You mention that when you get off the elevator, 11:14 or 11:15, you describe Mr. Combs as having a devilish expression on his face
    Flores: That's my opinion.
    Steel: When you get off the elevator, what's in your hand?
    Flores: My radio.

    Flores: He said, she wants to leave. I said, I'm talking to her, not you. They left.
    AUSA: Then what?
    Flores: We went up to Mr. Combs' room to remind him of hotel rules. He opens the door and grabs the phone and says, Are you recording me? I pinned him to the wall

    why does some of the text seem redacted?

    "are you recording me? i pinned him to the wall"

    ?

  • May 12, 2025

    Steel: Mr. Combs did not attack you, did he?
    Flores: No.
    Steel: And was there any law enforcement involvement?
    Flores: No.
    Steel: You videoed for your wife and kept it, right?
    Flores: I did.
    Steel: But never was law enforcement called?
    Flores: They were not.

  • May 12, 2025

    Steel: You told the jury Mr. Combs said to Cassie, You're not leaving - but your report did not say that, right?
    Flores: At that point I did not believe it was a significant fact. I'm not going to put down the back and forth.

    They could be paraphrasing or the witness may just be delivering a disjointed testimony

    Steel: So it wasn't important nine years ago, but only now?
    AUSA: Objection!
    Judge: Overruled.
    Flores: I did not put in the report at the time.
    Steel: You said you were offered a bribe - but hadn't you told him he had to pay for the vase?
    Flores: Yes.

  • May 12, 2025

    Steel: The gentleman you say you saw in the room, you described to the jury things not in your report.
    Flores: He didn't engage.
    Steel: Why didn't you ask him his name?
    Flores: He wasn't talking to no one.
    Steel: Did you tell anyone at the time?
    Flores: No.

  • May 12, 2025

    Steel: And the 7 foot driver - do you know who it was?
    Flores: I don't know. But Cassie knew him.
    Steel: You didn't put in your report that you offered to call law enforcement but she refused. Why not?
    Flores: She said no, so there was no reason to include it.

    Steel: You said you put Mr. Combs against the wall - that's aggressive, isn't it?
    Flores: It could be. But I only put my forearm against his chest.
    Steel: But you didn't put that in your report.
    Flores: You're asking me to have put more detail in my report

  • May 12, 2025

    Steel: Do you remember the layout?
    Flores: No. Just a corner room.
    Steel: Was it a normal hotel room like I would stay in, just one room? Or did it have a living room?
    Flores: I don't know.
    Steel: The 3d party, you said he was on a bed
    Flores: It was a pull out

  • May 12, 2025

    Steel: You were in the hospitality business as well as security, right?
    Flores: Yes.
    Steel: Mr. Combs, it was clear to you that he wanted to pay for the damage, right?
    AUSA: Objection! Calls for speculation.
    Judge: Ask in a different way

  • May 12, 2025

    Steel: It can be embarrassing for a guest-
    AUSA: Objection!
    Judge: Sustained.
    Steel: One moment.. Nothing further.
    Judge: Re-direct.
    AUSA: Did you typically include every single detail in a report?
    Flores: No.
    AUSA: Did he seem drunk or high?
    Flores: No.

    AUSA: When he offered you money, what did he say.
    Flores: That he didn't want anyone to know about it. Pretty much.
    AUSA: Which way way Mr. Combs dragging Cassie?
    Flores: Back toward the room.
    AUSA: Nothing further.

    Judge: Re-cross?
    Steel: They are motion sensitive cameras - so there are gaps, right?
    Flores: Yes.
    Steel: Nothing further.
