Diddy Trial: Derek Ferguson Wraps Up His Testimony On Day 15 (Part 2) (6/4/25)

In his charging requests submitted to the court, Sean “Diddy” Combs and his legal team are seeking to shape the jury instructions in a way that narrows the scope of the government’s accusations and emphasizes the burden of proof required for a conviction. Central to the requests is the insistence that jurors be explicitly instructed not to infer guilt based on Diddy's celebrity status, past lifestyle, or media portrayals. The defense wants the judge to highlight that fame and wealth are not indicators of criminality, and that allegations alone—no matter how salacious or repeated—do not amount to evidence. Furthermore, they ask that any references to other alleged “bad acts” not directly charged in the indictment be carefully limited to prevent undue prejudice.The defense is also pushing for jury instructions that stress the presumption of innocence and the government’s obligation to prove each element of every charge beyond a reasonable doubt. They are particularly focused on the RICO charges, asking that the court clarify the complex nature of racketeering law and caution jurors not to convict based merely on association with others accused of wrongdoing. By parsing the instructions this way, Combs’ team is attempting to preemptively insulate him from the cumulative weight of the government’s broader narrative, which alleges years of systemic abuse, coercion, and criminal enterprise. Ultimately, these requests are a tactical maneuver to keep the trial tightly focused on the evidence at hand—and to limit the emotional or cultural weight the prosecution hopes to bring into the courtroom.to contact me:bobbycapuccisource:gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.273.0.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Sean "Diddy" Combs is facing new allegations from an anonymous male street performer, referred to as "John Doe," who claims that in November 2022, he was invited to an exclusive birthday party hosted by Combs in Los Angeles. According to the lawsuit filed in the New York County Supreme Court, Doe alleges that after being approached by an individual claiming to be Combs' talent scout, he was lured to the event with promises of a potential recording contract. At the party, Combs allegedly offered Doe a drink that was spiked, causing him to feel disoriented and incapacitated. The suit claims that Combs then forcibly performed oral sex on Doe and made explicit comments during the assault. Doe asserts that he did not report the incident immediately due to Combs' power and notoriety, as well as feelings of shock and embarrassmentThis lawsuit adds to a series of legal challenges Combs is currently facing, including multiple allegations of sexual assault and federal charges related to sex trafficking and racketeering. Combs' legal team has consistently denied these accusations, labeling them as false and defamatory. In response to the latest claim, a spokesperson for Combs stated that they would not respond to every new publicity stunt and expressed confidence in the judicial process, asserting that Combs has never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone. As of now, Combs remains in federal custody, awaiting trial scheduled for May 5, 2025, where he has pleaded not guilty to all charges.to contact me:[email protected]:Sean 'Diddy' Combs sued for allegedly raping a John Doe in 2022Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

On the morning of June 5, 2025, the federal sex trafficking trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs in Manhattan continued with the defense's cross-examination of Bryana "Bana" Bongolan, a close friend of Combs's ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. Bongolan had previously testified about a harrowing 2016 incident where Combs allegedly dangled her over a 17th-floor balcony while shouting profanities, then threw her onto furniture, causing physical injuries. During cross-examination, defense attorneys sought to challenge her credibility by highlighting inconsistencies in her account, questioning her history of drug use, and pointing out her involvement in a separate lawsuit against Combs. Despite these efforts, Bongolan maintained her allegations, which align with Ventura's earlier testimony describing a pattern of abuse and coercion by Combs.Following the conclusion of Bongolan's testimony, prosecutors prepared to call a key witness, identified only by the pseudonym "Jane," to the stand. Jane is expected to provide testimony about her alleged experiences with Combs, including participation in so-called "freak-off" sex marathons and instances of abuse. Her account is anticipated to reinforce the prosecution's case, which portrays Combs as orchestrating a pattern of manipulation and exploitation over several years. The court has taken measures to protect Jane's identity, including restricting media access during her testimony.to contact me:[email protected]:@innercitypressBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In a filing to Judge Subramanian in United States v. Combs, S3 24 Cr. 542 (AS), the Government requests permission to admit limited additional testimony from expert witness Dr. Dawn Hughes. This request comes in response to what prosecutors describe as "forceful and repeated" arguments made by the defense during their cross-examination of the witness known as Mia. The defense, the Government argues, presented misleading implications about Mia’s behavior and credibility—specifically regarding how victims of abuse are expected to act. Prosecutors contend that this line of questioning has "opened the door" for rebuttal testimony addressing misconceptions about trauma responses.The Government seeks to have Dr. Hughes offer expert insight drawn from her original notice, focused solely on clarifying how victims of abuse often exhibit behaviors that may seem counterintuitive to jurors unfamiliar with trauma psychology—such as delayed reporting, continued contact with abusers, or minimized disclosure. This testimony, they assert, is necessary to correct the jury’s potential misinterpretation created by the defense's narrative. The request is framed as narrow in scope and designed not to go beyond the boundaries previously set by the Court, but rather to preserve the integrity of the witness's testimony in light of the defense’s strategy.to contact me:[email protected]:gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.376.0_1.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
