We are currently on a break

I don’t really understand what they’re trying to do with the cross examination

They’re tryna make it seem like it was just a toxic relationship but she still loved him

oh yea I get that but according to her testimony he was beating her ass, keeping her d***ged up and coerced her into a lot of the s***acts so I don’t really see this swaying the jury all that much.

be a better person

We are back

1:10 pm they're back
Judge: Ms. Estevao, has the witness had a chance to review the exhibits?
AUSA: They are lengthy.
Judge: We'll do the best that we can. I was told this witness would be off the stand by the end of the week. We let the jury go early yesterday

Judge: If there's something that really needs to be done on cross after lunch tomorrow, I may allow it. We have not leave time for re-direct. This witness is being responsive.

Ventura enters, jury enters.
Combs' Estevao: Let's turn to GX 411.
AUSA Johnson: It's not in evidence yet.
Estevao: So B-414, page 3 and 4. You wrote, "I love our FOs, when we both want it." You felt that?
Ventura: Loving FOs were just words at that point.

Combs' Estevao: Mr. Combs wrote to you, I want to freak out right now. And you wrote that you wanted it too: "LOL me too."
Ventura: I texted more than that
Estevao: But you did text that to him. Mr. Combs' wrote to you, Jules is available, if you are into it.

Combs' Estevao: You could have said yes or no, and you said, Love you.
Ventura: There was no yes or no.
Estevao: Bring up B-420 on page 2. Mr. Combs wrote, Do I have your permission to set up freaky fun. You wrote, Ovulation.
Ventura: Yes.

Combs' Estevao: Here, what do you say?
Ventura: I asked, Which hotel - I must have called him in between. I don't want to assume anything.
Estevao: He said Montage, you said, you could also go to Pleasure Chest. What would you get there?
Ventura: Sexual supplies

"LOL me too" as a reply to wanting a freakoff knowing how much abuse she has suffered throughout the years couldnt be a bigger cry for help and basically read as "Please dont make me do this".
I feel for her so much

God damn bro, the casual-ness of it all is arguably the most disturbing part next to the sheer frequency.

Do they ever talk about anything else?

It's like every other conversation is one of them going "I love you" and the other responding with "It's time set up a freak off"

Like interchangeably

Well yeah because those texts are relevant to the case lol

I know that's what makes the sheer volume of it so alarming.

Think about what they had sift through to get ALL of that.

Combs' Estevao: What supplies?
Ventura: Lubricants, outfits.
Estevao: He says, Have fun, impress me. You say, OK. He says, Can we kiss a lot. What do you say?
Venture: Yes.
Estevao: You wrote, I left the iPad
Ventura: I don't know whose iPad this meant

Combs' Estevao: Mr. Combs' wrote, I've be there right after my session. This was in June 2017. Do you remember arguments you were having at that time?
Ventura: Not specifically.
Estevao: Here you say, the game starts at 10 pm, no breaking character to 8 am

Ventura: This was a game a friend of mine told me, a way to rekindle your romance
Combs' Estevao: By doing something different in the bedroom
Ventura: It's a whole getting into character thing
Estevao: Mr. Combs says, let's get some outfits and go to s***club

cross examination gonna break that woman man

idk why we have to go through this, just charge him for domestic abuse and call it a day man

Wouldn't put it past Diddy if that was the intent, one last traumatic parting gift.

Combs' Estevao: Mr. Combs wrote, Surprise package coming from out of state.. Why can't I reach you? What do you say?
Ventura: I was getting my brows done.
Estevao: Did you come to know Mr. Combs was leaving to freak off to go see Kim Porter?
Ventura: Yes

but he didn’t press the RICO, the US government did

him and Cassie settled their issues and the fed is making her sit thru her traumas again to prove their case

idk this whole s*** is f***ed up for Cassie and her husband imo

If what we've been reading is any indication, I don't think that would stop someone like Diddy from wanting to terrorize this woman one last time on a whim.
