Overview

• Diddy’s legal team filed its second mistrial motion on June 7, citing alleged prosecutorial misconduct in the Manhattan federal courtroom.
• The motion asserts prosecutors knowingly presented materially false testimony from Bryana Bongolan about being dangled off a Los Angeles balcony.
• Defense attorneys introduced Cassie Ventura’s texts indicating she did not witness the incident; they also presented hotel records placing Combs in New York when the alleged injuries occurred.
• Prosecutors are expected to respond before proceedings resume on June 9, when they plan to rest their case.
• A conviction on racketeering and sex trafficking charges carries the possibility of life in prison; cross-examination of accuser “Jane” is scheduled to begin next week.
