Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Juy Day 15 Summary: The judge denies the motion of a null trial on the dispute of fires caused

Wednesday’s testimony at the trial for sexual processing and Exit of Sean “Diddy” combs was marked by a surprise motion for a null trial of the combs defense team. The play, caused by a reference to the destroyed evidence in a fire investigation, was quickly retreated by the judge, who has maintained strict control in the acceleration trial of the holders.

Judge Arun Subramanian rejected the application for defense of a null trial after the jury withdrew from the Court Chamber following the testimony related to the alleged bombing of the Porsche owned by the combs rival, rapper Kid Cudi, whose legal name is Scott Mescudi.

A fire investigator caused the jury to evidence the digital footprints obtained after a previous robbery was inexplicably destroyed after it was delivered to the Los Angeles Police Department. In response, defense lawyers alleged that prosecutors tried to imply that the YANS interfered with the investigation into the incident; A suggestion, defense lawyers said they were out of limits.

Subramanian dispensed with the request, in part, because the witness never answered a question raised by prosecutors about whether it would be unusual for LAPD employees to destroy the evidence of fingerprints.

The motion of the mental judgment marked the first time that the combs lawyers pressed to the short circuit of the trial, now in their third week of testimony, and threatens to land combs after bars for life if they are convicted. Prosecutors claim that Comps used their money and to be able to lead an expanding criminal company that allowed them to force women to sex.

Comink declared himself innocent. His lawyers, confronted with testimony that details a private life marked by violence, sexual escapes and the use of illicit drugs, have argued that combs could be guilty of other crimes, but not of the positions included in the federal case against him.

On the 15th of the trial he concluded with testimony of a close friend of former combs lover and the star witness of the Prosecutor’s Office, Cassie Ventura. The friend, the celebrity stylist Dente Nash, testified when he saw Ventura abused physically and verbally by combs. He told the jury Ventura, a singer who hoped that ComBs would make her a star, told her that she did not want to participate in ComBs sexual organizations, called “monsters.”

The disturbing testimony already often emotional of Ventura was the central piece of the beginning of the trial. The lawyers were urgent to finish the appearance of Ventura because he was about to deliver to his third child, and a source close to Ventura said Wednesday afternoon that Ventura, in fact, has given birth.

Defensor lawyers unsuccessfully request a null trial

The defense lawyers made their request for a null trial after the fire investigator of the Los Angeles Fire Department, Lance Jiménez, was interrogated about the evidence of Digital Footprints recovered while investigating the scene of the Porsche 911 of Kid Cudi.

Kid Cudi testified last week that he suspected that combs was behind the fire, although the rap magnate has long denied participating.

Jiménez told the jury that he responded to the incident on January 9, 2012, and he quickly concluded that the fire was caused by an “improvised fire pump” known as a Molotov cocktail.

“Someone had lit it, cut the roof and dropped it into the front seat,” Jiménez told the jury. “In my opinion, I was attacked.”

Jiménez said he took note of the bar at the top of the Cabriolet Black Porsche 911 and “burning patterns” in the seat, carpets and roof. The description was backed by photos shown to the jury and are now publicly available.

“There was a bottle in the front seat, and there was a cloth scarf on the central console that burned,” Jiménez said. “Inside the bottle, I observed a liquid that gave the smell that I know was gasoline.”

Jiménez said that he also noticed a red discharge lighter on the ground, and walked to the jury through photos of the damage, including the soot damage at the driver’s door, the burns inside and the cut on the canvas roof. The jury also saw an image of the lighter, the 40 -oun 400 English malt liqueur bottle was used to make the Molotov cocktail and a burned handkerchief.

Jiménez testified that Kid Cudi had his house swept by fingerprints after the incident. Jiménez lifted two impressions of the main glass door, he said to the jury, but the fingerprint cards that he delivered to the LAPD evidence unit were destroyed in August 2012. The LAPD declined to comment on the investigation and destruction of digital footprint cards.

After the prosecutors asked Jiménez if it was “unusual” that the evidence of digital footprints was destroyed, the defense lawyers immediately moved by a null trial, accusing the government of fiscal misconduct.

The combs team accused the Government of trying to plant the idea that ComBs was responsible for the destruction of digital footprints raised from the main door of Kid Cudi.

“It was becoming increasingly clear that this inference was for what the government was doing this,” Shapiro said. “There is no way to trigger this bell.”

Subramanian denied the null trial, but gave a warning to the jury.

“Before the break, you heard some testimonies about digital fingerprint cards, and now I am instructing that the questions about the destruction of digital footprint cards and the answers are irrelevant for this case and for the defendant and not being considered for you,” said Subramanian.

Jiménez testified that he tried to call several people with the suggestion of Kid Cudi, including Ventura and former assistant Capricorn Clark de Ventura and Combs. He said he couldn’t reach them.

There were no charges in relation to the fire caused, although the case has not been closed. Jiménez said the State is “inactive waiting for anything else.”

Los Angeles Police officer recounts the consequences of the alleged Porsche fires

The prosecutors began the day calling the witness post, the Los Angeles police officer who responded to Kid Cudi’s house on December 22, 2011, after informing a robbery.

Lapd officer Christopher Ignacio said he passed through the house with the rapper and registered the incident as a transfer for “someone who enters someone’s property without the owner’s consent.” When he directed the registration of a Cadillac Escalade Black seen driving from the house, the report of the Department of Motorized Vehicles of California showed the owner registered as Bad Boy Productions, Inc., combs’ Company.

The jury members saw the DMV report that links the car with Bad Boy Productions, the only evidence that links the combs company with the incident. On Tuesday, former combs personal assistant, Clark, told the jury that ComBs and a bodyguard kidnapped her at a gunpoint from an apartment and led to Kid Cudi’s house. She testified that they entered the house. Kid Cudi testified that nothing was missing, but found that Christmas gifts opened at the counter and his dog locked in a bathroom.

In the interrogation for Comong lawyers, defense lawyers tried to emphasize that Ignacio’s report did not mention a firearm involved. During Tuesday’s testimony, defense lawyers pressed Clark similarly about their memory that Comps had a gun at the time of the incident, a detail that could be vital for prosecutors who could argue that the alleged kidnapping is connected to the conspiracy component of the case criteria against COCs.

Ventura’s friend: ‘quite frequently’ he saw Ventura with bruises

Cassie Ventura’s friend and stylist celebrity, Deonte Nash, testified that “quite frequently” he saw the combs ventura’s girlfriend with bruises, and he “quite frequently” knew her spending nights with combs in the hotel rooms against her will.

On Ventura’s 29th birthday, Nash testified that combs told Ventura “,”[expletive] you. I do all this for you, and you can’t do this for me, “said Nash.” Cassie said: ‘He’s angry because I don’t want to go to the hotel and scare him.’ “

The combs, according to Nash’s testimony, would decide how Ventura would appear, from his clothes to his hairstyle. He remembered to have arrived with Cassie at the Vanity Fair Oscar 2014 Afterparty. “It seemed bomb. His hair was low,” Nash said, but he told the jury that the combs approached and said: “I thought I told you that I needed to use their hair.”

Nash testified combs with anger grabbed him for his jacket and lifted him. “I started asking the people of the party for the forks,” Nash said.

During his testimony, Nash recalled numerous cases of violence and threats of violence by combs, specifically an incident when he said that Ventura considered climbing on a hotel balcony in Beverly Hills to escape the combs, which had just arrived. Nash testified that Ventura “was scared” after he said “that Puff was looked down.”

Tyling because he was summoned, Nash remembered combs told Ventura “that he would not get his music, that he would fire his parents from his jobs, that he would take sex tapes.”

Federal prosecutors have alleged that the combs maintained coercive control over a chance that made it participate in monsters that did not want to be part.

The celebrity stylist is still a friend of Ventura until today, he testified and said that he helped her choose a wedding dress and told her about what she would wear while testifying at the trial.

The defense portrayed combs as a final word about Cassie’s appearance as a commercial decision instead of an element of coercion, as prosecutors claimed.

“Is it important for the person who directed the label that the person looks good, just to say?” Defensor lawyer Xaviar Donaldson asked.

“Sometimes, yes,” Nash agreed.
