Overview

  • Paul testified he bought roughly $4,200 of marijuana and procured cocaine, ketamine and ecstasy for Combs’s ‘wild king nights’ over an 18-month period
  • He said Combs urged staff to “move like SEAL Team 6,” working up to 100-hour weeks and remaining available without breaks
  • Paul described stocking hotel rooms with lubricants, candles, liquor and a Gucci pouch of drugs before donning gloves to clean up and avoid damage fees
  • Court records introduced revealed Combs was charged $6,000 for losses and damages at Miami’s St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort in December 2021
  • Paul stated he never observed force or hesitation from the pseudonymous witness “Jane” during the sex parties, supporting the defense’s consent argument
