[They've back]
Combs' Agnifilo: Were you concerned that Diageo was marketing Ciroc primarily in... certain areas to certain people?
Ferguson: My opinion?
Agnifilo: On your personal knowledge.
Ferguson: The distribution was highly concentrated. The question was why

Ferguson: Diageo was marketing it more in urban areas than more broadly.
Combs' Agnifilo: OK. What about Revolt - it was owned by Highbridge Capital Management, which was purchased by JPMorgan Chase?

AUSA: Objection.
Judge: Sustained.
Agnifilo: Nothing further.
Judge: Jurors, you may go. All rise!

AUSA: With Jane tomorrow, we want to avoid the type of accident that happened with Mia - so we want the public screens turned off. We want to avoid a situation where accidentally a non redacted version goes up.
Judge: OK, for Jane's testimony

AUSA: The new compilation, I understand there is still a defense objection.
Judge: I don't need further argument on that.
AUSA: I do intent to show Jane some explicit videos, I proposed we turn off the attorney screens, so the gallery can't see

Combs' Agnifilo: Mr. Combs is prevented from possessing any of the text messages of Jane. Here's the ask: We need to meet with our client in a place with a desk, with no separation, to go through the text messages
Judge: Could you do it if you leave now?

Combs' Agnifilo: What is we use the courtroom tonight?
Judge: There would be Marshals here.
Agnfilo: Fine with us. He needs to see the texts, he can only see them with he is with us. We need more time, without a screen between us. It's a 6th Amendment issue

AUSA: These text message were produced in Rule 16 discovery, they've had them for months. We expect the direct of Jane to run to Monday - so they'll have the weekend.
Judge: The texts are sensitive?
AUSA: There's nudity. A paralegal could sit with Mr. Combs

Combs' Agnifilo: We just need a solution.
Judge: Why does the screen prevent you? Paint a picture for me.
Agnifilo: The screen is thick mesh. You want to see with your client and use a highlighter.
Judge: There's time in the courthouse. 7 am to 8:30 am, and after

Judge: For the SCIF we'd need a special officer, I'm told.
Combs' Agnifilo: The courtroom would be better. We don't mind the Marshals.
Judge: There are Marshall Service issues...
