Combs' Geragos: Here Jane writes, "I'm h**** for you" and "put in deep in me" - these next two pages are not in your chart, are they?
Agent Cerciello: No, I don't think so.
Geragos: She writes, "Having wine miss you" - that's not included?
Cerciello: It is not

Combs' Geragos: Jane write, Hey cutie how are you, and he write, Just back from cooking for a brunch. I'm one of a kind baby. She writes back, LOL, These pics. OK if I fly you out, I'm so h**** I need you, I'm touching myself rn - right?
Agent Cerciello: Yes

Combs' Geragos: The messages you reviewed omitted emojis, right?
Agent Cerciello: I'm not sure.
Geragos: Jane writes, See you soon with kiss-face emoji, then heart-eye emojis. He Cabral / Sly writes, Me too, also with emojis, right?
Cerciello: Yes

Combs' Geragos: Now turn off the attorneys' screens too. Do you see the metadata?
Agent Cerciello: Yes.
Geragos: Test the headphones to make sure they work... here's piano music - now play the video

[Video played with public screen - and attorneys' screens - turned off]

Combs' Geragos: Keep the public screen off. Pull up DX 3328. Jane messages Cabral - what does he respond?
Agent Cerciello: He texts, I'm just chilling in Houston waiting for my flight.
Geragos: Jane writes, want to come to Miami, I have a small free window, emoji

Combs' Geragos: Jane writes, Oh Sly, thank you for making me feel so beautiful
Agent Cerciello: He writes, You called me by my government name, I said said woah things getting personal now.
Geragos: Jane writes, I'm traveling maybe you can come to, PCR test needed

Combs' Geragos: Jane writes, Wait you have a passport right.. Oh, then don't worry about the PCR test.
Geragos: Your Honor, this is a good place to stop, it's 3 pm
Judge: OK. Jurors, you may go.
[Jurors leave]
Geragos: I have an hour & 15 left, or more
Judge: OK

Judge: So tomorrow, the cross then we'll give the jurors a long break for the Rule 29 motion. If it's denied, the defense should be ready to put on its case tomorrow. Closings?
Combs' Geragos: Four hours each, with jury charge in the middle of Friday

Combs' Alexandra Shapiro: We are trying to agree on the jury instruction, but...
Judge: Let's say in the RICO conspiracy section, you have different positions.
Judge: OK. I don't want to break up the closings, so we could stay late [Thursday]. See you tomorrow
Adjourned

That's it for today

Trial has already started

[Before jury in]
Combs' Estavao: As we submitted overnight, we think it's relevant, Cassie's sexts to Combs about what she wanted to do
AUSA Johnson: These were acts with Mr. Combs, in his office, they are simply not relevant
Judge: US objection is sustained

Judge: Here, Mr. Combs is inquiring into what Ms. Ventura was going to do, and she replied, Be your little freak.
AUSA Johnson: Ms. Ventura is asking Mr. Combs for an explicit photo of himself. So it is about her boyfriend
Judge: Here, I overrule the objection

Combs' Estevao: Ms. Ventura writes she bought baby oil because she just couldn't stop herself, she was buying baby oil on her own.
AUSA Johnson: We don't dispute she wanted to have s***with her boyfriend
Judge: The baby oil purchase seems for a freak-off

Combs' Estevao: They say Mr. Combs d***ged people to make them do freak-offs, but here he cancels a freak-off because she's feeling sick
AUSA Johnson: There is no evidence the freak off was canceled. She wanted to have s***with her boyfriend.
Judge: Let's hold off

AUSA Johnson: In this one, Mr. Combs asks her if she can freak off without taking d**** and she says Yes - it is being offered for its truth, it is hearsay.
Judge: I overrule the objection.
AUSA Johnson: Here she says I want my bank account to be right - we object

Combs' Estevao: This is Ms. Ventura demanding money. It is a command of sorts, not hearsay.
Judge: And how is it relevant?
Estevao: It goes to financial motive.
Judge: In 2017? I sustain the objection to 1135 on hearsay and 403 grounds

AUSA Johnson: The last one is 1417, it's about Ms. Ventura decorating a hotel room and getting flowers on Valentine's Day.
Combs' Estevao: This is a s***trafficking freak-off as alleged by the Government - this shows Ms. Ventura set it up as a surprise to Combs

Judge: This is hearsay, I am sustaining that objection. But the defense can use her being presented with the layout of the hotel room, the flowers - the photo can come in, and the messages with them.

Judge: Bring in the jury
Combs' Agnifilo: Can we have a restroom break?
Judge: Fine
[break]

[They've back]
Combs' Geragos: Your Honor, our arguments took so long that the jurors' devices turned themselves off.
Judge: They are high tech. All rise!
Jurors enter
Combs' Geragos: Good morning. Pull up 1406, from Dec 21, 2021: Jane, Combs, Don and Cabral
