Overview

• Diddy’s legal team filed its second mistrial motion on June 7, accusing prosecutors of presenting testimony they knew or should have known was false regarding the claim he dangled Bryana Bongolan off a 17th-story balcony.
• The defense cites text messages showing Cassie Ventura learned of the incident after the fact and argues her testimony that she witnessed the balcony event is demonstrably false.
• Photographs of Bongolan’s September 26, 2016 injuries were introduced at trial, but travel documents and hotel records place Combs on the East Coast at the time, challenging the prosecution’s timeline.
• This follows a late-May mistrial request over alleged misconduct tied to the destruction of fingerprint evidence in the Kid Cudi car bombing case.
• Judge Arun Subramanian has not yet ruled on the new motion, and proceedings will pick up June 9 with testimony from the accuser known as “Jane.”
