After two hours of instructions from Judge Subramanian -- including how to gauge the credibility of witnesses and a reminder to not google anything -- the jury began deliberating. Combs appeared less stressed than he did during closings. After the jury left, the judge closed the courtroom to give him some time with his children.If you want to read NBC's coverage of the trial, check out our newsletter, “Diddy On Trial”: NBCNews.com/Diddy 

Defense attorney Marc Agnifilo argued that Cassie Ventura was the winner of her relationship with Combs. "She is sitting somewhere in the world with $30 million," he said. "He's in jail." And he tried to make the prosecution of Combs relatable. "They take yellow crime scene tape, figuratively, and they wrap it around his bedroom," he said. "The crime scene is your private sex life." In its rebuttal, the prosecution said the defense "just spent a whole lot of energy trying to blame his victims and the U.S. government for his lies, his threats, and his violence."If you want to read NBC's coverage of the trial, check out our newsletter, “Diddy On Trial”: NBCNews.com/Diddy 

"He won't take no for an answer," said prosecutor Christy Slavik. She said it over and over during a summation that lasted more than four hours. She argued that the "common purpose" of Combs and his "inner circle" -- his chief of staff, his bodyguards, and some of his assistants -- was to protect him from bad press and law enforcement. And she recounted the dramatic stories told in the courtroom in the past six weeks: Goodfellas-type scenes of alleged bribery, arson, and kidnapping.If you want to read NBC's coverage of the trial, check out our newsletter, “Diddy On Trial”: NBCNews.com/Diddy

Blayne Alexander sits down with Andrea Canning to talk about her latest episode, “Center of the Storm.”  The 2024 trial of Karen Read garnered national attention as she fought allegations that in 2022, she drunkenly backed her SUV into her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O’Keefe, and left him to die in the snow. After the jury was unable to reach a verdict, the judge declared a mistrial.This year, Read went back on trial and a new jury did deliver a verdict. Andrea tells Blayne what it was like at the courthouse when the verdict was read. She also discusses her interview with Michael Proctor, the former state trooper who the defense accused of having framed Read as part of a coverup. Plus, Andrea shares two podcast-exclusive clips: the first from her interview with Proctor, and the second from her interview with one of John O’Keefe’s family members after the verdict.

Today, after calling 34 witnesses over six weeks, federal prosecutors rested their case. After that, the defense put on their case. It took them only a half an hour. They called no witnesses. They did argue that the case should be dismissed because the prosecution didn't meet its burden of proof. But the judge reserved his decision on that, and the trial remains on track for the jury to hear summations on Thursday.If you want to read NBC's coverage of the trial, check out our newsletter, “Diddy On Trial”: NBCNews.com/Diddy
