AUSA: Can we get a sidebar?
Judge: We'll give the jurors their lunch break, we'll stay and hash it out.
All rise!
Jurors exit; Mia exits.
Judge: Ms. Smyser?
AUSA Smyser: The witness has not burder to bring forth evidence to support her claims. It is our burden.
Judge: Mr. Steel, you'll have to ask, Does she have texts or emails or something she'd have knowledge of.
Combs' Steel: Understood.
Judge: OK, break
[They're back]
Judge: Ms. Smyser, anything?
AUSA Smyser: They just gave us a video they say they intend to use, in violation of the court's order
Judge: Mr. Steel?
Combs' Steel: It is a very short video, a happy birthday to Mr. Combs in 2014. It shows her demeanor
Judge: It's cumulative. Why wasn't it turned over earlier?
Combs' Steel: I only got it last night. It's video and audio. The Court should know I gave over impeachment days ago. I don't do that. I know the Court doesn't know me.
Judge: How long?
Steel: 8 seconds
AUSA: No, it's 20 seconds. And they gave us the exhibits before and after this one. 1749 and 1751. I don't know why they withheld this one.
Judge: I don't understand what you just say. When did you decide to use it?
Steel: Yesterday.
Judge: 1750 is excluded.
Combs' Shapiro: I understand it's 30 seconds. It shows her different than how she's presented herself here.
Judge: When was it marked with a number?
Shapiro: I don't know. We had to redacted it.
Judge: When did the defense team review it?
Shapiro: Yesterday
Judge: Why was it not reviewed?
Combs' Shapiro: We didn't even think of it until we saw how she presented herself.
Judge: How is that possible?
Combs' Agnifilo: Let me try-
Judge: The Court's order said you have to establish good cause. That's why I'm asking
Combs' Shapiro: I-
Judge: No, we cannot have multiple lawyers speaking on the same issue. You can ask her, Did you sent this video. If she says yes, it's not impeachment.
Combs' Agnifilo: I saw it yesterday. Her affect on the stand might be an act
Combs' Agnifilo: We had to talk with our client. We think the witness' affect is false. I think someone has determined who she is and sent us the video.
Judge: Take five minutes and confer, then answer on why there is good cause. If someone sent to you at 1 am
Combs' Shapiro: Some people on the Internet think they have figured out who Mia is. We got this video also from random people on the Internet. We don't think this was every posted on her social media, it was on some random website. Should we show it to you?
Mia is showing just how complex power dynamic and sexual dynamics between two parties can be
This is CRAZY really interested in seeing how the jury sees her testimony
Combs' Shapiro: Some people on the Internet think they have figured out who Mia is. We got this video also from random people on the Internet. We don't think this was every posted on her social media, it was on some random website. Should we show it to you?
Video is shown, but not on the public screen in the gallery. It has already been redacted, they say. So why not on the public screen, for the public to know what is excluded or included, and why?
AUSA Smyser: They waited until the direct was over.
Judge: When did the defense see it?
Combs' Shapiro: Yesterday...
Judge: When was it marked at 1750?
Shapiro: I don't know.
Judge: The video is precluded. After the number of social media posts the defense has used, it is cumulative. The defense's theory, dubious
Combs' Steel: Can ask if she sent it?
Judge: Yes.
Steel: I'm going to ask about scrapbooks. The prosecutor and I have disagreement. I have three copies, one for the jurors to pass around. The honorable prosecutor and I disagree
Judge: You can give it to them for a couple of minutes. Bring Mia back, then the jury.
[Witness enters. Jury enters]
Combs' Steel: What is the breakfast club?
Mia: The name of our camp, Puff's friends group still partying at breakfast. I was invited in once.
Combs' Steel: This message from South Africa, you pounded hashtagged this Diddy fan club?
Mia: Yes it was run by a girl who shamelessly promoted Puff, she was so sweet.
Steel: He supposedly d***ged and raped you on his birthday Nov 4. How did you not mark that?
Mia: I wanted to forget it. I pushed it down.
Combs' Steel: Are you finished?
Mia: Yes.
Steel: You put aside you say you saw Mr. Combs abuse your sister, your best friend, Cassie - you put it aside and post this?
Mia: Yes
Steel: You wrote this?
Mia: Puff at iHeart
Combs' Steel: What are you doing here?
Mia: Promoting Puff's appearance on Blackish, it's a comedy show.
Steel: Were you aware of the #MeToo movement? That was a great movement.
Mia: Yes.
Steel: What are these?
Mia: Me and Puff at Burning Man, then on Blackish
Combs' Steel: You loved Ms. Ventura? You meant every word on your social media account?
Mia: I didn't mean every word on my account. But I do love Cass.
Steel: What's this?
Mia: A pop op shop for D-Roc's brand, Invisible Bully
Steel: You promoted Mr. Combs?
A: Yes
Combs' Steel: You're saying this is NOT the way you felt?
AUSA: Objection, argumentative.
Judge: Sustained.
Steel: How about the you are the best unicorn rockstar alien?
Mia: I was trying to say it unique.
Combs's Steel: Who are the people in this photo?
Mia: Mama Combs, Christian, D-Roc, Faheem, Tron
[During these IDs, Combs is whispering to Agnifilo]
Steel: You worked through March of 2017. Mia: It was confusing.
Steel: On December 6, 2016 you were notified?
