Overview

  • Former assistant Brendan Paul testified under an immunity agreement about supplying narcotics used to incapacitate women during Combs’s alleged “freak-off” sessions.
  • Jurors returned after a two-day hiatus caused by a sick juror and the Juneteenth holiday as prosecutors press to rest their case by early next week.
  • Evidence presented includes accounts that women were coerced into multi-day sexual performances across Miami, Los Angeles and New York.
  • Defense lawyers have revised their timeline, indicating they will call witnesses for just two to five days rather than the two weeks they initially requested.
  • Combs has pleaded not guilty to racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution and faces up to life in prison if convicted.
