A run-in with executive record of rival at Drive-in Mel, weapons attacks with illegal damaged serial numbers and sex performance at the Trump International Hotel & Tower in Central Park West are some of the topics heard by the judges at the Sean Combs criminal trial about Tuesday, when the prosecutor tried to build their extortion and sex trading cases against Mogul Rap.

In nearly six hours of testimony on the 11th day of the trial, the Federal Prosecutor called former personal assistant stand combs, a federal agent, mother of a state star witness and a sex worker nicknamed “The Punisher.”

They argue that broad testimony helps prove the length of the Combs is willing to benefit from and protect what they are accused of being a criminal company.

Combs claimed to be innocent, and his lawyer argued that his personal behavior in the room did not have the amount of sex trade. His lawyer argues that violence alleged by witnesses is driven by love, jealousy and drug use – not the desire to force anyone into sex.

The prosecutor plans to continue their case on Wednesday by calling Dawn Hughes, a psychologist who specialized in sex trauma, George Kaplan, former Assistant Combs and Scott Mescudi, Rapper known as Kid Cudi and who briefly dated former Combs girlfriend Cassie Ventura.

Former Assistant Combs Testifying about Suge Knight Encounter

The Personal Assistant One time Combs David James told the judges about the various tasks he completed for Maestro Rap: from the hotel room stocking and allegedly bought drugs to become drivers when the Combs was allegedly armed with many weapons to face the executive record of Rival Marion “Suge” Knight.

The jury first heard about the alleged interaction between Combs and Knight during the testimony of the ex -girlfriend of Combs, Cassie Ventura. This is thought to have occurred around 2008 or 2009 and is a threatening moment to rake in the history of violence between the 1990s rap music and old competition between the east and western coasts.

Ventura testified that, after what was called “strange,” a security guard named D-Roc told him that Knight, a former CEO of Death Row Records and the old comb, was seen in Mel. Apart from his request to stop, Ventura said that Combs packed his weapons and headed to the restaurant to face Knight.

“I cried. I shouted, like, please don’t do the stupid one,” Ventura testified last week.

James tells the other side of the judges of the story, depicting D-Roc who faces Knight when they are in Mel’s to take cheese burgers for a comb.

“We stopped in the parking lot and D-Roc looked up and said, ‘That Motherf ——- Suge Knight,'” James said, describing how he drove back to the Combs house to find Combs and Venture debate. “Cassie looked very depressed. He told him not to leave,” James testified.

James testified that Combs, allegedly with three weapons in his lap, ordered him to drive back to the restaurant. At that moment, he said, which finally pushed him to stop working for a comb.

“I was completely surprised. I realized for the first time I was the assistant of Mr. Combs that my life was in danger,” James testified.

Prosecutors accuse that Combs and his colleagues who are suspected of using “violence, use of firearms, threats of violence, coercion” to protect and promote “the strength of a comb company.”

James also testified about buying and supplying medicines for combing and storing Mogul Hotel rooms with baby oil, astroglide lubricants, condoms and prophylactic. He told the jury that he had been accidentally walking strangely, showing Ventura and a male sex worker.

When asked by the defender’s lawyer, James testified that he had had sex with a prostitute and that he refused to pay his services, and that he made a physical quarrel with other employees. James said he spoke with the prosecutor under the right agreement, which means he had immunity because he was prosecuted for whatever he said at the pulpit.

“Did they give you several types of immunity?” Marc Agnifilo’s defense lawyer asked.

“I have to ask that question,” he said. “My lawyer says I have no legal visibility.”

Ms. Cassie Ventura testified about the Combs who squeezed her daughter

Regina Ventura, the mother of Star witness Cassie Ventura, took a stand on Tuesday to testify about taking a home equity loan to pay a comb to prevent her to follow up the alleged threat to release her daughter’s sex record.

“The threat that has been made to me by Sean ‘Puffy’ Combs is that … he will release 2 explicit sex tapes from me,” Ventura wrote in an email to mother and Assistant Capricant Capricorn Clark on December 23, 2011. Jurors saw an email when Cassie Ventura testified last week.

“I was physically ill. I don’t understand much. Sex tapes throw me,” Regina Ventura testified about the threat.

Regina Ventura testified that she and her husband decided to take a loan so that they could send a $ 20,000 comb that she demanded, even though she finally returned the money.

“We decided that it was the only way we could get money,” he said. “I’m afraid of the safety of my daughter.”

Regina Ventura also told the jury that she decided to take pictures of her daughter’s injury suspected of suffering a comb so they would have a note of alleged harassment.

About 15 years after he documented the injury, the prosecutor last week showed the photos to the jury to underline the testimony of Cassie Ventura about the violence he suffered in the hands of the Combs.

This picture released by the prosecutor showed a bruise on Cassie Ventura.

‘The Punisher’ testifies about the alleged dozen

Known professionally as a con artist, the guardian of Sharay Hayes told the jury that he first met Combs and Cassie Ventura in 2012, when he was employed to help create a “sexy erotic scene” for what, said Ventura, was Combs’s birthday. He testified that he was nicknamed when he was a teenager based on the way he played basketball.

He testified that Ventura, who used the name Janet when ordering sex workers, instructed him to come to the Trump International Hotel & Tower in Central Park West in Manhattan to carry out strip actions. When he arrived, Ventura asked him to cover his baby oil while Combs watched, said Hayes.

“I was specifically told not to recognize her husband. Try not to see him. There is no communication between me and him,” Hayes testified. “The room was dim, maybe an electronic candle. All furniture was covered with sheets and there was a lot of area for me to sit and for him to sit across from me. There was a bowl of water and baby oil bottles.”

Hayes told the judges that the comb naked for the meeting and wearing a veil, occasionally masturbating during interaction and offering a “subtle direction” to venture.

After their first interaction, Hayes said he worked for the couple eight to 12 times, receiving $ 1,200 to $ 2,000 on every opportunity.

During their last meeting, Hayes testified, Combs instructed him to have sex with venture but decreased because he could not sexually under “a lot of pressure.”

Silang by the Combs lawyer, Hayes testified that he was sure that Ventura felt comfortable during the exchange, potentially underestimating the argument forced to participate.

“I did not get a signal there was an inconvenience there,” Hayes said when asked whether Ventura seemed uncomfortable with the meeting.

The question of whether venture is forced or participate voluntarily is one of the most critical problems in the prosecution of cultural icons that have ever existed.
