Overview

• Cassie Ventura, the prosecution's key witness, testified last week about coerced participation in 'Freak Off' parties and years of physical and emotional abuse during her relationship with Combs.
• Dawn Richard, former Danity Kane member, testified Monday about witnessing Combs physically assault Ventura, including incidents involving a frying pan and repeated beatings.
• Kerry Morgan, Ventura's former best friend, recounted seeing Combs attack Ventura and herself, describing a pattern of control and violence that left Ventura isolated and dependent.
• The defense challenges the prosecution’s racketeering claims, arguing that the alleged acts were part of a consensual but volatile relationship rather than a criminal enterprise.
• If convicted on all charges, including racketeering and sex trafficking, Combs could face 15 years to life in prison.
