Overview

  • Closing arguments have started after prosecutors called more than thirty witnesses over seven weeks.
  • Cassie Ventura and another ex-partner known as "Jane" delivered detailed testimony alleging they were forced into filmed "freak-off" sessions.
  • Prosecutors introduced videos of a 2016 hotel assault and phone, travel and financial records to support charges of trafficking and criminal enterprise.
  • Combs’s defense opted not to present witnesses, focusing instead on highlighted messages suggesting consensual encounters.
  • The jury is slated to begin deliberations early next week with a potential life sentence if Combs is convicted.
