Combs' Agnifilo: Cudi didn't say that Capricorn said Combs had a gun. Because there was no gun. Working backward - Cudi didn't tell the police about a gun. It was written up as a trespass, that's all. There's no gun. Capricorn's story falls apart.
Combs' Agnifilo: There was the car chase. Or was there? Cudi "pulled up next to the Escalade," the witness said. There was no car chase. The judge is going to say you can disregard any witness if you find something not credible. If you see fit. It's all you need
Combs' Agnifilo: Seems like everything is possible with Capricorn Clark. I asked her, she said, I came up here with Puff, I want to run away, I'm afraid of mountain lions. Mountain lions? I'm not saying they are not scary, but if you were kidnapped with a gun? No
Combs' Agnifilo: She doesn't want to say, I went there by my own volition. I'm not saying Sean Combs didn't go there. He wanted to fight him, fine. Mother f*cker! Combs is not a coward, he's ready to fight. At the risk of being sexist, they are men, they fight
Combs' Agnifilo: We're going to have a good old fashioned 8 in the morning Hollywood Hills John Wayne fight. The Porsche? Not his style. There is no evidence. Who else would do it? Not evidence. Burning a car is cowardice. Be a man and fight him.
Combs' Agnifilo: What's in the car? Molotov cocktail. Why not show you the glove? I am suggesting something? Yes. That the investigation stunk. It's terrible. 2 fingerprints - what happened? Well I don't know. You are going to determine his fate on arson. On this?
Combs' Agnifilo: The DNA was consistent with a female contributor. That witness was not helpful. If it had come back consistent with Combs? They would have bragged about it. Investigator Jiminez never followed up. He tried to find Cassie
Combs' Agnifilo: Jiminez said Capricorn's brother obstructed him, they fought. I'm not saying Capricorn did it, or Cassie did it. We're not here to solve the world's problems. Cassie's father didn't call him back. The witness was mad. Draw your own conclusions
Combs' Agnifilo: Here's an email. Why is she calling him Sean Puffy Combs? For some later proof? She doesn't mention any car. Forget it. Let's turn to the London Hotel. If you want to go to someone's house, it's not a kidnapping. It's unfair. Cassie is public too
Combs' Agnifilo: Remember, Cassie also didn't want the tape out, she had a movie coming out. Let's go back to what was said, about the hotel staff maybe leaking the footage. They were worried about publicity, not a misdemeanor. Guess what happened? It was sold
Combs' Agnifilo: The police were nowhere near this situation. Is Combs acting like a fool, calling Cassie and saying the police are about to arrest him? She is freezing him out, as she should, he's just trying to get her attention. He leaves, goes to her apartment
Combs' Agnifilo: He's banging on her door, maybe with a hammer. Kerry Morgan said, that's why the police came. A neighbor called. The Inter-Continental has no police period. So he cannot be guilty of bribery under California law, as the judge will tell you
Combs' Agnifilo: And when Mia, the witness who testified as Mia, said she was out of skrillo money? They should have told you that. Sean was concerned about Cassie suing him - he was not aware of any Federal investigation, if there was one. So it's not obstruction
Combs' Agnifilo: He's trying to stave off a lawsuit. And when it comes to Jane he still might.
Judge: Shall we break hear?
Agnifilo: This would be fine.
[break]
While it’s normal it can be used as a strategic move that can have several implications down the line
Implications from someone in court exchanging notes with their counsel? Nah dog, I'ma need this explained to me
An accused might want to point something out about the testimony to their lawyers in court but if they talk, it might disrupt the testimony/proceedings. So what other option do they have except writing notes to each other?
Just seems wild to me that a lawyer says "This recorded phone call had sounds of someone making notes. And he did the same thing with his lawyers in court, so it's a pattern"
Combs' Agnifilo: His kids were there. And here - six of seven, in the second row. The seventh is an infant. This is who he is. The man takes care of people. Jane came here and testified against him. Today's she's in a house he's paying for.
Combs' Agnifilo: And they found it! Boxes of Astroglide! Taken off the streets! And they got the baby oil! And the personal use d****! America is safer! Five Valium pills. When you're doing work like that? We can't photograph you. That's the evidence
No f***ing way this is what they're going with
Don't know why they're hammering that there was no gun the day they hunted down Cudi. Didn't they find f***ing rifles and s*** on his property with the serial numbers scratched off?

defense is laughable
defense is laughable
"I am not going to go through a lot of text messages, or charts, or screen time - it's a terrible thing, screen time, I'm told - I'm going to tell you the story of this case."
sounds like something Trump would say
Combs' Agnifilo: He's trying to stave off a lawsuit. And when it comes to Jane he still might.
Judge: Shall we break hear?
Agnifilo: This would be fine.

11:35 am
Judge: Do you have proposed language?
AUSA Comey: Yes, Ms. Steiner has emailed the defense our proposed curative instructions.
Judge: Mr. Agnifilo, those three were grossy improper, just to be blunt about it. The jury is not to speculate about the charge
Judge: I will tell them, it would be improper for you to consider that, you are to disregard those comments.
Combs' Alexandra Shapiro: We did not object yesterday, since you called out Mr. Agnifilo-
Judge: I didn't call out anything. There was an objection.
Combs' Shapiro: Ms. Slavik told the jury there might have been guns at freak offs. There's no evidence of that, it was outrageous. No one is doing anything improper.
Judge: You made no record yesterday. Here, I'm not giving the multiple instructions, just one
Combs' Shapiro: We ask you do that at the end, not now, it will suggest Mr. Agnifilo did something improper.
AUSA Comey: It'd needed now.
Judge: Let's get our jury...
[Sean Combs leans over and whispers to Agnifilo who takes a note]
All rise!
[Jurors re-enter]
Judge: Before the break it was suggested you should consider why this was charged, that it not proper. I will be instructing you on the law. Mr. Agnifilo?
Combs' Agnifilo: Now we'll talk about Mia. She loved working for Mr. Combs. This was not forced labor.
Combs' Agnifilo: Remember the birthday video we showed up. She was bubbly - popping! That's the real her. You are free to conclude she put on an act here. If Mr. Combs felt it was improper, he would not threaten to tell Cassie. It was consensual
Combs' Agnifilo: When Mia says it was not consensual, she is not telling the truth. There was no unwanted sexual conduct. Mia's feeling were not Platonic. Mr. Steel questioned her about these wonderful pictures and slogans. Effusive, not just a job
Combs' Agnifilo: This is a demonstrative, you can't take it into the jury room - consider the scrap book she made. I'm going to read it to you. Happy 45th birthday Puff, this is from 1991 to 1999, I hope it stirs up nostalgic feelings. How great you've become
Combs' Agnifilo: She loved you. You can't fake that. That's real. Don't leave sight of that. It's not just business. He gives people a home. Look at this picture, think of a word that comes to mind. Joy? There's KK, D Roc, Faheem
