Overview
- Judge Arun Subramanian halted the trial on June 18 when a juror reported vertigo, postponing testimony until Friday after the Juneteenth holiday.
- Brendan Paul, Combs’s former associate set to testify under an immunity deal, was slated as the final major prosecution witness before the adjournment.
- Prosecutors have spent six weeks presenting videos and witness accounts alleging Combs used his influence, money and drugs to coerce women into prolonged “freak-off” sex marathons.
- Lead defense attorney Marc Agnifilo confirmed that Combs will not take the stand and plans to call several witnesses in a defense case expected to last two to five days.
- With the prosecution aiming to rest by late June and closing arguments tentatively set for early July, the jury could begin deliberations soon after.
