AUSA: They proposed to use communications between Ms. Clark and Ms. Ventura - we don't see any non hearsay purpose.
Combs' Agnifilo: There are logistics and photo shoots being discussed. She testified to this on direct
Combs's Agnifilo: The direct went more negative than we expected. Their theory is that Ms. Ventura was not permitted to be creative-
Judge: In the future, in what you submit overnight
Judge: In their defense submission over the weekend the defense argued the album covered was relevant - right Ms. Shapiro?
