Kassi told the jury on Tuesday that its relationship with Comles was running a series of good times to arguments and physical disputes.

“If they are violent arguments, this usually leads to a kind of physical abuse and clouds, only different things,” Cassie said. Kassi was gently asked: “He was asked about the frequency of Kumz with her, Cassie replied quietly:” Often times. “

Cassie filed a lawsuit against rains in 2023 claiming years of abuse. They met in 2005 when he was 19 years old and was 37 years old. He signed it to the Bad Boy Records brand, and within a few years, they started dating.

A video clip of the monitoring last year showed a compressor hitting it at the Los Angeles Hotel in 2016. CNN broadcast the video last year, which led to an apology. The video, which was played with jury on Monday, appears to wear a white towel only, punching, kicking and pulling Cassi in a hotel gallery.

Israel, Florez, a former security officer at the hotel, witnessed on Monday that he encountered Koms while he was responding to an invitation to a woman in district, and he found a sitting in a chair with a “demonic staring”. Florez said that Compass offered him a pile of money and said, “Do not tell anyone.”

Florez said he rejected the money and told Koms, “I don’t want your money. Just return to your room.”

Earlier on Tuesday, the trial was resumed with the Coms lawyer who asks Daniel Philip, a male stolen saying he is salaries to have sex with Cassie while watching Comles. Philip witnessed on Monday that he stopped seeing the couple after Cassi Cassi’s attack.

Defense lawyer, Kazavier Donaldson, referred to Philip’s previous statements to federal prosecutors, as he tried to show contradictions in his remembrance of events. Donaldson ended his interrogation after he suggested that Philip have developed a crushing on Cassi and wanted to isolate her from the nations so that the romantic was with her. Philip denied this, but he admitted: “I was attracted to it. If I gave me the opportunity to history, I will be at all.”

In the opening of the data on Monday, American lawyer Emily Johnson said that Combs overcame Cassi often with a little provocation and threatened to destroy her music career by launching videos of her participation in their sexual works with male accompanying accompanying during the meetings he arranged.

Johnson said Kums exploited it sexually and hit other women, including a woman who was only identified as a gene, who accuses Comles of the attack after he faced him about “suspension operations.”

Cassi’s lawsuit was settled against Comles within hours, but dozens of similar legal claims were followed and touched on a criminal investigation.

Koms’s lawyer, Tini Girajos, told the accused of the jury after his money, adding that the jury may think that he was “jerk” and may not condone his “strange gender”, but “he was not accused of being a jerk.”

The Associated Press generally does not define people who say they are victims of sexual assault unless they publicly advance, as Cassie did.

Judge Aaron Supramanian says he tends to grant a request from media organizations to offer what the defense lawyer described as pornographic videos that will be shown in the form of jury as a guide in the case. But it gives the parties another day to submit applications on this topic.

Comes has been imprisoned in Brooklyn since his arrest in September. If convicted, he may get at least 15 years and even prison in prison.
