Testimony from a clinic receptionist plus the treating OB-GYN described no physical contact, with proceedings expected to continue next week.

Overview

  • Receptionist Tierra Malcolm told jurors she stepped between the two, saw no contact, and later noticed a scratch on her own face.
  • OB-GYN Dr. David Finke said he did not see Cardi B attack Ellis and described Ellis causing a shoulder injury to Malcolm.
