Overview

• Sean “Diddy” Combs has opted not to appear as a defense witness, a move his lawyers say avoids unpredictable cross-examination.
• Jurors spent over ten minutes reviewing longer excerpts of the disputed “Freak-Off” party videos under headphones, alongside related text messages.
• Prosecutors introduced financial documents such as flight bookings, hotel bills and credit-card records linking Combs to the organization of the explicit gatherings.
• Judge Arun Subramanian replaced a juror over conflicting residency disclosures and has warned he will investigate unauthorized leaks of sealed hearing details.
• The trial, which began in May, is scheduled to wrap before early July as both sides prepare for closing arguments.
