What happened during the Daidi trial?
The government’s issue brought to many former employees to the entertainment companies at Combs’ Bad Boy, but its most worthy witnesses were former partners, two singers Cassandra “Cassi” Vinterora And “Jin”, which is influential on social media He witnessed under a pseudonym.
Vintera, who was late in her pregnancy at that time, has witnessed over four days of the mistreatment that lasted for a decade, she said she faced the hands of compass. She felt pressure to engage in hundreds of sexual events, called “vibrant displacement”, with sex workers. These meetings were often photographed, and Ventura said she was threatened by Comles, who used videos as a crane.
Jin witnessed for six days about the sexual offers called “Hotel Nights”, saying that she felt coercive to engage in her last August, but she did so because she loved – and still loves her.
Ventura was in a relationship with Coms from 2007 to 2018, while Jin was with him from 2021 to his arrest last year.
Prosecutors and defense attorneys played several minutes of “Ghawar’s” and “hotel nights” recordings.
The jury also faced its share of the drama when Judge Aaron Supramanian, a jury, excused his lack of sincerity during the selection process about his place of residence.
The jury had mentioned a member of the court employees that he moved with his girlfriend in New Jersey, who is outside the jurisdiction of the southern province in New York.
What are the prosecutors in the Daidi trial
In them Close data, The government drew the Koms Criminal Foundation as a “kingdom”.
American lawyer Christie Slavic told the jury that Compass was a person “did not take any answer” and “relying on silence and disgrace” to enable his abusive behavior.
She referred to his “small army” of the assistants and guards of the two people – some of whom were called to the witness’s position earlier in the trial – to help him harm women and help cover them up.
“When someone commits a crime as part of a group, he is more powerful and dangerous,” Slavic said. “The defendant was a strong man, but he became more powerful and dangerous because of his internal circle and his work – the institution.”
Defense lawyer did not argue
While the prosecution filed a strong case, the defense lawyers concluded within hours, with no witnesses.
Many of them The argument rested On the theory that all the accused were dying adults and that no one had to participate in the sexual events of Koms.
They have largely relied on text messages between rain and its former partners to show that women were ready and even arranged sexual confrontations at times.
Defense attorneys used their final data to contact the prosecution of the exaggerated compass, saying that he was tried because of his sexual inclinations and lifestyle options.
Lawyer Mark Agunefilo said that the prosecutors are “badly exaggerated” in the lifestyle of a slingshop and mixing for his gathering with recreational drug use and they are called a plot to blackmail.
The lawyer said: “He did not do the things they directed to. He did not conspire and trafficking in sex.”
He also mocked the claim that Comles and its forms participated in hundreds of blackmail and their suggestion that many of the so -called “Dhuar” and “Hotel Nights” were crimes.
He said that Comles and Cassi had a “love and beautiful relationship”, although it was “complicated.”
“If the conspiracy has blackmail the opposite, their relationship will be … they were in love with each other.”
