Piazza: This seems to be a collision of two issues. Look at the male sitting down. There appears to be a ghost of a person. The Motion Activity begins to sense that we have motion. Now there is a full figure in the frame. That file is corrupted

AUSA: Did you make a compilation?
Piazza: Yes. Your Office requested it. They are edited to track the movement of individuals inside the events.
AUSA: Does it have different camera angles in it?
Piazza: Yes
AUSA: How did you show the changes?
Piazza: Black screen

AUSA: Is this the compilation?
Piazza: Yes
AUSA: Play the first 30 seconds. What is happening?
Piazza: The male is running down the hallway... He throw her down
[Now dragged her, on screen]
AUSA: What did the man just do?
Piazza: Dragging the woman, holding a bag

AUSA: How what is he holding?
Piazza: It appears to be a cell phone, glowing.
AUSA: Let's focus on what happens in the mirror. Play it. What happened?
Piazza: The male picked up a small object, what appears to be vase, and threw it across the room at the woman

AUSA: Continue playing. Who is emerging now?
Piazza: The female. With a duffle, her luggage.
AUSA: Now who?
Piazza: The security person.
AUSA: Now the man [Combs] walks away. Holding what?
Piazza: Appears to be a cell phone. He puts it to his ear.

AUSA: You find these accurate?
Piazza: Yes. And this was all the footage I had.
AUSA: Let's turn to the s***videos. PX 201 to 210. Let me clarify: these are under seal. There was recovered from the Frank Black user on a device provided to the US by Ms. Ventura

AUSA: These are enhanced versions of original videos created in 2012, 2014... Mr. Piazza, what were you asked to do with the sexually explicit video?
Piazza: Enhance the audio component.
AUSA: We admitted these videos into evidence, and no further questions.

Judge: Break

[They've back]
Combs' Teny Geragos: What is your understanding of the source of those surveillance videos?
Piazza: The native system.
Geragos: How did they come to your possession?
Piazza: They were exported and transcoded.

Combs' Geragos: Who gave the surveillance video to you?
Piazza: The US Attorney's Office
Geragos: Who gave it to them?
Piazza: I don't know.
Geragos: Did you say it was from a cheap system?
Piazza: I don't think I said that.
Geragos: Let me show you notes [3500]

AUSA: This is only for the witness!
Judge: Yes.
Combs' Geragos: So you called it cheap?
PIazza: I don't know when this document was created.
Geragos: But you thought the system was cheap.
Piazza: In a way.
Geragos: Let me play you 10-C-103

Combs' Geragos: There are two minutes not shown?
Piazza: This is my corrected version. But there are a few issues that we cannot correct. The system is buffering some of that time. And some portions were motion activated.

Combs' Geragos: Let's again play the male coming into the elevator bank at 11:02 and then... The time stamps are jumping around?
[On the video, Cassie is being kicked on the ground]
Piazza: It's constantly playing catch-up
Geragos: Play ahead, we're at 11:11:28

Geragos: The female picks up the house phone - there's some sort of cut. Can you explain?
Piazza: Can you back up and go frame by frame?
Geragos: Sure. But is the male separated from her?
Piazza: Yes. The bag-drop triggered it.
Geragos: A 10 second difference

Combs' Geragos: Let's watch it again... Did we just jump about 10 seconds on the time stamp?
Piazza: Yes.

Piazza: There is a five second offset between the two cameras, that's what you just showed.
Combs' Geragos: OK. The female picks up the phone and the male walks away - start again please, is this his walking away?
Piazza: Yes.
Geragos: Play more

Combs' Geragos: Did you see this translucent or ghostlike figure in the cell phone video as in the surveillance video?
Piazza: The cell phone video was not high qualify enough to capture it.
Geragos: But it's not there
Piazza: It is not.

Combs' Geragos: Mr. Piazza, thank you so much for coming, we have no further questions for you.
Judge: Ms. Smyser?
AUSA Smyser: So they are five minutes off?
Piazza: My notes told me there was a five minute 55 second difference. And another offset of five seconds

AUSA: Do these videos reliably and accurate depict what happened?
Piazza: Yes.
Judge: You may go. Before the next witness, a sidebar

[Sidebar]

Next witness is Bryana Bongolan

[They've back]
AUSA: The Government calls Bryana Bongolan. What else are you called?
Bongolan: Bana.
AUSA: What do you work in?
Bongolan: Fashion designed.
AUSA: What did Mr. Combs do to you?
Bongolan: Held me over a 17th story balcony

AUSA: Any after-effects?
Bongolan: Night terrors. I wake up in my sleep.
AUSA: Who is this? [Shows photo]
Bongolan: It's Casandra Ventura, Cassie, my friend. I met her in 2013 at Young and Reckless, the streetwear company. Then at Diamond Designs.

AUSA: How would you describe Cassie's relationship with Mr. Combs?
Bongolan: Volatile. I did not want to meet him right away, I had seen a black eye. She begged me to meet him.
AUSA: Did you do design work for Mr. Combs?
Bongolan: A little

AUSA: Where did Mr. Combs live?
Bongolan: I think in like Beverly Hills.
Combs' Nicole Westmoreland: Objection! Speculation!
