would have been brutal

We are currently on break

More context and details:

The jury heard further messages from September 2018, in which Sean “Diddy” Combs tells Cassie Ventura, “I want you to love me. I need you to love you.”

“I do love you. I would just prefer not being one of your girlfriends anymore,” Ventura responded, according to the texts.

In the messages, they both say they can’t wait to see each other.

The next day, she and Combs saw each other and had sex.

Her now-husband called her on FaceTime while she was with Combs, she confirmed.

Defense attorney Anna Estevao suggested that she told her husband that this encounter was actually when Ventura said Combs raped her.

“That wasn’t the evening when I was raped,” Ventura said on the stand.

Note:

Cassie says Diddy used the alias Frank Black during her testimony.

The Notorious B.I.G. used to refer to himself as Frank White or The Black Frank White.

Frank White was a d*** kingpin in the 1990 movie King Of New York, who many considered a Robin Hood-type character, as he was known to give back to his community.

I'm presuming that the route the defense is taking is

she accused of him rape to her husband, but it was consensual and she only said this because she cheated on her husband/bf that night?

We are back

They've back
Judge: Let's get this done before the jury returns.
Combs' Estevao: We still think it's appropriate for this message to come in
AUSA Johnson: We still have issues, with phrases like "I'd like to reconnect."

AUSA Johnson: What state of mind is this being offered for?
Judge: There are portions that are properly admissible - so this needs to be redacted if it is going to be admitted into evidence. For example, in the 5th paragraph, I've been getting my life together- no

Combs' Estevao: We can get that in through other exhibits.
Judge: You can redact it right now
Estevao: I will do it right now.

Now understand why Ye defending this guy so much

Prolly participated

don't know for sure

but i know cassie is lead in the "stronger" video

Best Case Scenario (relatively speaking): She was a willing, consenting and active participant until she no longer desired to be, and struggled to rescind her consent and leave.

Worst Case Scenario: She was never granted any free will, autonomy or agency, and her decision to partake in anything was always done reluctantly as a result of years of coercion, conditioning, manipulation and abuse.

Either way Diddy is an irredeemable demon and there is no defending this.

[Also Combs' Teny Geragos on exhibits and redactions]
Combs' Estevao: I want to say, we are going to finish with cross faster than he thought, probably before the next break
Combs' Agnifilo: May I speak with the Government for one minute?
Judge: Bring the jury back

Frank Black so insane and unimaginative

If Gene Deal doesn’t get called as a witness he’s a fraud, nigga got 432 hours of footage of him talking about diddy

Jury entering!
Combs' Estevao: Ms. Ventura, we're almost done here
Ventura: Thank you.
Estevao: I will read Mr. Combs' messages: You're going to make a beautiful mother, God bless.
Ventura: I said, Thank you, God bless.

Ventura: I wrote, We should talk and have closure
Combs' Estevao: Mr. Combs sent back a tear face emoji. He said, You were always my ride or die
Ventura: I thought it was nice
Estevao: You'd been craving that?
Ventura: Before. I don't think I was craving now

yeah but I don’t think her husband doesn’t know. He grew up in an abusive household which is why he’s always been a huge advocate for protecting women

they kept him out so they could call him as a potential witness but I don’t think that anything they say isn’t something Cassie has already told him

Combs' Estevao: You shaped you, over 11 years
[Silence]
Estevao: You shaped each other?
Ventura: Yes.
Estevao: Your husband's a physical trainer?
Ventura: Yes.
Estevao: The house you grew up in Connecticut was relatively modest, compared to mansions?
Ventura:Yes

ayo this s*** is disgusting asf if turns out not to be true

Combs' Estevao: You were preparing to tour, with a Matt Testa?
Ventura: Yes. He's an engineer.
Estevao: Once you settled your lawsuit, you cancelled the tour, right?
Ventura: Yes
Estevao: Because you no longer needed the money?
Ventura: That wasn't the reason

Combs' Estevao: After the hotel video came out, you posted on Instagam that domestic violence is the issue, right?
Ventura: Yes. I still feel that way.

Estevao: DX 1015 - Mr. Combs' wrote, Want to freak off one last time - what did you write?
Ventura: I don't want it to be the last time, I want freak off for the first time
Estevao: No further questions.
Judge: Re-direct?

holy s***

defense mic drop

she’s fully independent at this point and she STILL wants to freak off

Prosecution Redirect
