On Day 9 of Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal trial, former personal assistant George Kaplan delivered compelling testimony that shed light on the inner workings of Combs' operations. Kaplan recounted an incident aboard a private jet in 2015, where he witnessed Combs allegedly assaulting singer Cassie Ventura. According to Kaplan, he heard glass shattering and saw Combs standing over Ventura, who was on her back with her legs up, seemingly trying to create space. Ventura reportedly screamed, "Isn't anybody seeing this?" as the altercation unfolded. Kaplan also described another episode where he observed Ventura with bruises under her eye, after which Combs instructed him to purchase over-the-counter remedies to conceal the injuries .Beyond these incidents, Kaplan detailed his responsibilities, which extended beyond typical assistant duties. He testified about preparing hotel rooms for Combs' events, ensuring they were stocked with specific items and later cleaning them to protect Combs' public image. Kaplan also mentioned procuring drugs like MDMA for Combs and maintaining a "medicine bag" containing substances such as ketamine and Wellbutrin. Despite expressing admiration for Combs, Kaplan stated that he ultimately resigned in December 2015 due to discomfort with the physical behavior he witnessed .On Day 9 of Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial, rapper Kid Cudi (Scott Mescudi) delivered a compelling testimony detailing a series of unsettling events he attributed to Combs' jealousy over Cudi's brief relationship with Casandra "Cassie" Ventura in 2011. Cudi recounted receiving a distressed call from Ventura, warning him that Combs had discovered their relationship and had obtained Cudi's home address. Subsequently, Cudi found his Los Angeles home broken into, with Christmas gifts unwrapped and his dog locked in a bathroom. He reported the incident to the police. Weeks later, in early 2012, Cudi's Porsche was destroyed by a Molotov cocktail in his driveway—a retaliatory act he suspected was orchestrated by Combs. Although Combs later denied involvement during a meeting at a Los Angeles hotel, Cudi testified that he believed the incidents were meant to intimidate him.Cudi's testimony aligns with previous allegations made by Ventura in her 2023 lawsuit, where she claimed Combs threatened violence against both her and Cudi upon learning of their relationship. During his testimony, Cudi described Combs' demeanor during their confrontation as reminiscent of a "Marvel supervillain," noting his calmness and the unsettling nature of the encounter. These accounts contribute to the prosecution's narrative of Combs' alleged pattern of coercive and violent behavior to maintain control over individuals in his personal and professional life. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges, including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, and faces the possibility of life imprisonment if convicted.Mylah Morales testified about a 2010 incident at the Beverly Hills Hotel during the Grammy Awards weekend. She recounted waking up to the sounds of a heated argument between Combs and Cassie Ventura. After Combs stormed out of the room, Morales found Ventura with visible injuries, including a swollen lip, a black eye, and knots on her head. Concerned for Ventura's safety, Morales took her to her own home and consulted a doctor friend, who advised that Ventura should visit the emergency room. However, Ventura declined to seek medical attention or involve the police. Morales expressed fear for her own safety, stating she was afraid of Combs and feared for her lifeFrederic Zemmour, manager at the L'Ermitage Hotel in Beverly Hills, also testified on Day 9. He stated that Combs' customer profile had several notes to staff, including one that warned he "always spills candle wax on everything and uses excessive amounts of oil." These details were presented to illustrate Combs' behavior and its impact on hotel staff and property.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:May 22, 2025 - Day 9 of testimony in the Sean ‘Diddy' Combs trial | CNN

On Day 7 of Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal trial, Regina Ventura, mother of singer Cassie Ventura, delivered compelling testimony that bolstered the prosecution's case. She recounted a distressing incident from December 2011, when Cassie informed her via email that Combs had threatened to release explicit videos of her and to harm both her and her then-partner, rapper Kid Cudi. In response to these threats, Regina and her husband took out a home equity loan to pay Combs $20,000, as he claimed he wanted to recoup money he had spent on Cassie. Although the money was returned a few days later, Regina testified that the ordeal left her physically ill and deeply concerned for her daughter's safety. She also provided photographs of bruises on Cassie's body, which she had taken during that period, to document the alleged abuse.Regina's testimony corroborated earlier statements made by Cassie, highlighting a pattern of coercion, intimidation, and abuse. The defense chose not to cross-examine her, allowing her account to stand unchallenged. Her statements added weight to the prosecution's narrative of Combs' alleged manipulative and abusive behavior, reinforcing claims of a broader pattern of misconduct.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Cassie Ventura's mother testifies about Diddy's alleged abuse and blackmail | Fox News

On Day 7 of Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial, Sharay Hayes, a male exotic dancer known as "The Punisher," provided detailed testimony about his involvement in orchestrated sexual encounters, referred to as "freak-offs," involving Combs and singer Cassie Ventura. Hayes recounted that his first encounter occurred in 2012 at a Trump Tower suite in New York City, where he was instructed by Ventura to perform a "sexy scene" while a man, later identified as Combs, observed silently from a distance, wearing a veil over his face. Over the next few years, Hayes participated in approximately eight to twelve such sessions, during which Combs would direct the activities, including instructing on positioning and lighting. Hayes noted that while he never witnessed drug use during these encounters, he felt pressure and discomfort, sometimes resorting to medication for performance anxiety. He also observed signs of frustration from Cassie during these events, suggesting a lack of enthusiasm or consent.During cross-examination, Hayes stated that he did not perceive Cassie as being forced into these encounters, describing her as a "willing participant." However, he acknowledged that she occasionally winced or sighed at Combs' instructions and often looked to Combs for approval before proceeding with certain acts. Hayes also mentioned that he was paid $800 upon arrival and an additional $1,200 after declining to "finish," indicating the transactional nature of these sessions. His testimony provides insight into the alleged power dynamics and control exerted by Combs over Ventura, contributing to the prosecution's narrative of a pattern of coercion and abuse.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

On the fifth day of Sean "Diddy" Combs's federal trial, Cassie Ventura concluded her emotional four-day testimony. During cross-examination, Ventura detailed the alleged abuse she endured over their 11-year relationship, including being coerced into "freak-offs"—drug-fueled sex parties involving male escorts—at Combs's behest.

Richard acknowledged feeling "saddened" by the groups' disbandment but denied harboring anger. She maintained that her recollections were as accurate as possible, emphasizing her desire for justice rather than compensation.On Day Six of Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal trial, Kerry Morgan, former best friend of Cassie Ventura, delivered compelling testimony detailing multiple instances of alleged abuse.

Listeners, this morning brings a pivotal moment in the life and career of Sean Combs, known to many as Puffy, P. Diddy, or Diddy. The hip-hop icon and business mogul awaits the verdict in his highly publicized federal trial in New York. Combs faces serious charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering, in a case that federal prosecutors argue spans two decades of alleged criminal conduct. According to ABC News, the prosecution called 34 witnesses over six weeks, including former girlfriend Cassie Ventura, who delivered emotional testimony describing years of alleged abuse and exploitation. Ventura's lawsuit against Combs, which included accusations of rape and repeated abuse, was settled for $20 million, but her public allegations set off a wave of additional claims and legal scrutiny against the mogul.The government contends that Combs used his fame, wealth, and power to operate above the law, orchestrating an elaborate scheme involving coercion, drugs, and violence. The defense, led by attorney Marc Agnifilo, cast Combs as the target of overzealous prosecution and challenged the credibility of the evidence, dismissing the case as an unfair attempt to criminalize his personal lifestyle. As the case heads to the jury, the entertainment industry is closely watching, with many insiders commenting on the conspicuous silence from Combs' peers as they await the jury's decision.Beyond the courtroom, Combs' business empire has experienced significant shifts. Once celebrated for shaping hip-hop fashion with his Sean John clothing line and for lucrative ventures like his partnerships with Ciroc Vodka and DeLeón Tequila, Combs has seen some of these relationships unravel. His legal battle with Diageo, the parent company of his spirits brands, ended with a settlement that cut business ties, leaving Diageo as the sole owner. Despite ongoing challenges, his Bad Boy Entertainment label remains active, and Combs continues to pursue ventures in cannabis and media, although he temporarily stepped down from his role at Revolt following the initial allegations.With an estimated net worth near $900 million, Combs' influence has spanned music, fashion, and entrepreneurship. However, his legacy now hinges on the outcome of this trial, which is expected to have far-reaching implications for the music industry and beyond. The verdict, anticipated soon, could mark a defining moment for Sean Combs and the culture he helped shape.

The Prosecution:   During the opening statements of Sean "Diddy" Combs's federal sex trafficking trial, prosecutors portrayed him as a powerful figure who led a criminal enterprise over two decades. Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson described Combs as having a "larger than life" public persona with a darker side that involved coercing women into drug-fueled sexual encounters and using violence to maintain control. The prosecution alleged that Combs's inner circle, including bodyguards and high-ranking employees, assisted in committing and concealing crimes such as kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice. Key evidence includes testimonies from three women—ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, a woman referred to as "Jane," and a former assistant named "Mia"—as well as surveillance footage from a 2016 incident showing Combs assaulting Ventura in a Los Angeles hotel hallway.Prosecutors detailed disturbing allegations, including Combs orchestrating events known as "freak-offs," where women were allegedly forced into degrading acts with male sex workers. One specific claim involved Combs instructing a sex worker to urinate in Ventura's mouth during such an event. The prosecution contends that these acts were part of a broader pattern of abuse and exploitation facilitated by Combs's entertainment empire. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges, which include racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution, and faces the possibility of life imprisonment if convicted.The  Defense:During the opening statements of Sean "Diddy" Combs's federal sex trafficking trial, his defense team, led by attorney Teny Geragos, acknowledged Combs's history of violence and temper but firmly denied that his actions constituted sex trafficking, racketeering, or prostitution. Geragos portrayed the case as one centered on "love, jealousy, infidelity, and money," arguing that the relationships in question were consensual adult interactions, including participation in a "swinger's lifestyle." She emphasized that while Combs may have exhibited abusive behavior, the prosecution's attempt to classify these personal relationships as criminal enterprises was a mischaracterization.The defense also sought to humanize Combs, reminding jurors that he is not on trial for being "mean" or a "jerk," but for specific criminal charges that they argue are unfounded. Geragos highlighted that the government's case intrudes into Combs's private life without sufficient legal basis, asserting that the alleged victims were capable individuals who made their own choices. She contended that the prosecution's narrative was an overreach, attempting to criminalize consensual activities and personal flawsto contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:(4) Live updates: Sean ‘Diddy' Combs trial opening statements | CNN

Israel Florez, a former security supervisor at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles, testified on the first day of Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal trial and described a 2016 incident involving Combs and Cassie Ventura. Florez told the jury he witnessed security footage showing Combs physically assaulting Ventura in a hotel hallway. According to his account, the footage captured Combs throwing a glass object at Ventura, dragging her by her hair, kicking her while she was on the ground, and later slamming her into a wall near the elevator. Florez said the footage disturbed him enough that he reported it to hotel management and saved a copy, fearing the original would be deleted.Florez further testified that Combs later confronted him about the tape and attempted to silence him by offering a bribe. He said Combs handed him an envelope filled with cash and instructed him to get rid of the footage. Florez refused and claimed he interpreted the encounter as an effort to cover up the incident. The government presented this testimony as part of a broader narrative that Combs used violence and then relied on money and influence to conceal it. The surveillance footage itself — previously leaked to the public — was played in full for the jury, reinforcing the prosecution's claim that this was not an isolated outburst but part of a larger pattern of coercive behavior.Daniel Phillip, a former male escort, took the stand as the second witness on Day One of Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking trial. Phillip testified that he was hired multiple times to engage in sexual acts with Cassie Ventura while Combs allegedly watched. According to his account, the encounters were arranged through intermediaries working for Combs, and he was paid thousands of dollars in cash after each meeting. Phillip said the settings were often private hotels or residences, and that the sessions were not casual — they were specific, orchestrated, and in some cases involved explicit instructions from Combs regarding what was to take place.Phillip also testified that over time, the nature of the encounters became more controlled. He recalled moments when Ventura appeared detached or uncomfortable and described the environment as one where Combs held clear dominance. He told the jury that he was warned not to speak about the arrangements, and that the overall experience felt more like an assignment than a consensual interaction. Prosecutors used his testimony to support the core of their trafficking charges — arguing that Combs not only arranged for sex acts to occur, but financially facilitated them in a manner that meets the threshold of federal sex trafficking statutes. The defense, meanwhile, worked to undermine Phillip's credibility, implying he had personal motives and highlighting the consensual framing of adult relationships. Still, Phillip's account added a layer of specificity to the government's claim that Combs used his wealth and status to structure and control exploitative sexual scenarios.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Male escort was paid 'thousands of dollars' to have sex with Cassie while Diddy watched, he testifies on day 1 of trial

Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson described Combs as having a "larger than life" public persona with a darker side that involved coercing women into drug-fueled sexual encounters and using violence to maintain control. The prosecution alleged that Combs's inner circle, including bodyguards and high-ranking employees, assisted in committing and concealing crimes such as kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice. Key evidence includes testimonies from three women—ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, a woman referred to as "Jane," and a former assistant named "Mia"—as well as surveillance footage from a 2016 incident showing Combs assaulting Ventura in a Los Angeles hotel hallway.Prosecutors detailed disturbing allegations, including Combs orchestrating events known as "freak-offs," where women were allegedly forced into degrading acts with male sex workers. One specific claim involved Combs instructing a sex worker to urinate in Ventura's mouth during such an event. The prosecution contends that these acts were part of a broader pattern of abuse and exploitation facilitated by Combs's entertainment empire. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges, which include racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution, and faces the possibility of life imprisonment if convicted.The  Defense:During the opening statements of Sean "Diddy" Combs's federal sex trafficking trial, his defense team, led by attorney Teny Geragos, acknowledged Combs's history of violence and temper but firmly denied that his actions constituted sex trafficking, racketeering, or prostitution. Geragos portrayed the case as one centered on "love, jealousy, infidelity, and money," arguing that the relationships in question were consensual adult interactions, including participation in a "swinger's lifestyle." She emphasized that while Combs may have exhibited abusive behavior, the prosecution's attempt to classify these personal relationships as criminal enterprises was a mischaracterization.The defense also sought to humanize Combs, reminding jurors that he is not on trial for being "mean" or a "jerk," but for specific criminal charges that they argue are unfounded. Geragos highlighted that the government's case intrudes into Combs's private life without sufficient legal basis, asserting that the alleged victims were capable individuals who made their own choices.

One hundred years ago today, Margaret Jean Roberts was born at the edge of a field before her parents could reach the hospital. The story of how she became Margherita Roberti, one of the leading dramatic sopranos in Italy, and a specialist in the music of Verdi, is a fascinating tale, indeed. My guest today on Countermelody is the author, scholar, and lecturer August Ventura, who a number of years ago unearthed a 1963 documentary entitled "In the Mouth of the Wolf" which features Roberti and her co-stars in Luisa Miller, the opening night of the season in Parma, facing off against a notoriously opinionated public that makes its strong opinions known in no uncertain terms. In 2014 Margherita gifted August with her personal copy of the film, the only known one in existence. My interview with August is supplemented with live recordings of Roberti which reveal her to be a superb singer, endowed with a glorious sense of the expansive Verdi line, a noble sense of utterance, and the vocal range and flexibility required to do justice to the heroines of Verdi's early period. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

As propostas do governo para regular a imigração dificultam a obtenção da nacionalidade e o reagrupamento familiar. A AD conta com o Chega para viabilizar este pacote legislativo, mas André Ventura quer mais. O primeiro-ministro, em entrevista à RTP, distanciou-se de algumas propostas do Chega, mas considerou que “o partido tem apresentado pontos de vista que se enquadram em mais regulação e mais capacidade de integração.” Neste episódio, conversamos com a jornalista Raquel Moleiro.

Count 4 of the federal indictment against Sean "Diddy" Combs charges him with transporting Victim 1, identified as Cassie Ventura, across state lines with the intent to engage her in prostitution. Prosecutors allege that between 2009 and 2018, Combs orchestrated and facilitated "freak-off" events—drug-fueled sexual encounters involving male escorts—which he directed, filmed, and used to exert control over Ventura. These events reportedly took place in various locations, including New York City, Los Angeles, and Miami. The prosecution argues that Combs used his influence and resources to transport Ventura and other women to these events, where they were coerced into participating in commercial sex acts. Evidence presented includes travel records and communications that suggest the transportation was part of a broader scheme to exploit women for prostitution.In response, Combs' defense team contends that the interactions were consensual and part of a private, non-criminal lifestyle. They argue that Ventura willingly participated in these events and that the transportation was not for the purpose of engaging her in prostitution. The defense also points to the absence of direct evidence linking the transportation to prostitution, suggesting that the charges are based on assumptions rather than concrete proof. The outcome of this count will depend on the jury's assessment of the credibility of the evidence and testimonies presented, including the context of the relationships and the nature of the events in question.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Send us a textWelcome back everyone for the conclusion of my interview with former Ventura Chapter President of the Hells Angels, George Christie. But first a disclaimer. I do not and never have condoned criminal behavior. I was a cop for 25 years and my heart is with the men and women who enforce the law and bring criminals to justice. That being said, I wanted to bring you the listener/viewer a different kind of perspective. One from an unapologetic outlaw living out the last chapters of his life (who knows, maybe he will live to a 100). I think it's good to see both sides of the coin. I may not agree with everything he says or stands for, but we can sit down and have a civilized conversation, something that is desperately missing in today's society, I think.  So, my guest on today's show George Christie, has spent some time in prison and was the president of the Ventura Chapter of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club from 1978 to 2011. In 2011 he walked away from the Hells Angels and resigned his membership. A short time later the club turned their backs on him and considered him in ‘bad standing' which is a kick in the gut for someone who dedicated his life to the outlaw club. It's kind of like it never happened. George's life is like something out of a movie. He has gone to war with rival bike gangs like the Outlaws and Mongols and has had at least two contracts out to kill him. He was in the hotseat on the news show 60 Minutes where he was grilled by Mike Wallace.  He spent a year in solitary confinement and also carried the Olympic torch for the 1984 games in Los Angeles and even had a blowup with the Kennedy's. One thing is for sure, George is not boring. Please enjoy the conclusion of my interview with George Christie.In today's episode we discuss:·      His 60 Minutes interview with Mike Wallace and Mike flirting with his wife.·      FBI informant Anthony Tate. ·      His time in jail / prison and the effects of being in solitary confinement for a year. ·      The difference between the Hells Angels now and when he was leading a charter? ·      The hit television show Sons of Anarchy. What he and other Angles thought of David Labrava (Happy Lowman), Rusty Coones (Rane Quinn), Sonny Barger (Lenny Janowitz), and Chuck Zito (Frankie Diamonds) being on the show?·      His stormy relationship with Sonny Barger.·      Everything, including your patch, motorcycle, and even jewelry is club property?·      Is it still a straight, white male club? What are females' roles in the club? Old Ladies?·      What about fake Angels? If I get a counterfeit patch and decide to ride my bike in Hells Angels territory, what should I expect?·      How he wound up quitting the Hells Angles. ·      Being the spokesman for the Hells Angels.·      Riding a motorcycle is moving Zen.·      The book, Exile From Front Street.All of this and more on today's episode of the Cops and Writers podcast.Ride over to George's website to learn more about him and his books!Check out the new Cops and Writers YouTube channel!Check out my newest book, The Good Collar (Michael Quinn Vigilante JusticeWhat would you do if you lost the one you loved the most?

Les campagnes d'arrestation visant les migrants en Californie ont entraîné des manifestations monstres à Los Angeles et dans d'autres villes. Dans cet État démocrate, un grand nombre de travailleurs du secteur agricole sont sans papiers, et les descentes de la police de l'immigration qui ont touché la petite ville agricole d'Oxnard, au nord de Los Angeles, ont frappé les esprits. Nombreux sont les travailleurs qui restent terrés chez eux, par peur d'aller travailler.  De nos envoyés spéciaux de retour d'Oxnard, Sous un soleil de plomb, des paysans cueillent paisiblement des fraises. Il y a dix jours pourtant, non loin de là, une opération de police visait plusieurs migrants sans papiers comme eux. Pas de quoi s'inquiéter pour ce responsable d'une ferme, qui refuse de céder à ce qu'il nomme de la « paranaoïa ». « Si nous étions inquiets, nous aurions mis des gardiens à la porte. Il n'y a pas de quoi s'en faire. Il faut vivre normalement. Je déteste vivre dans la peur », témoigne-t-il. Le climat a bel et bien changé pourtant à Oxnard, bourgade agricole au nord de Los Angeles. Dans le restaurant familial mexicain des Pérez, Raquel, la fille, accueille beaucoup moins de clients depuis l'intervention de policiers d'ICE, la controversée agence fédérale chargée de l'immigration aux États-Unis. « En 18 ans de présence ici, c'était la première fois que je voyais "ICE" dans ce secteur, dans la zone industrielle de la ville. Il y avait deux camionnettes : l'une blanche avec une ligne verte et une inscription "patrouille de protection de la frontière", et un autre véhicule avec aucune indication, mais une plaque d'un autre État. J'ai raconté à ma mère. Quand j'étais devant, là, et que je les ai vus... La façon dont ils m'ont regardé, c'était très intimidant. On voyait la haine dans leurs yeux. J'en ai eu la chair de poule. Et moi, je n'ai rien à craindre. Je suis née et j'ai vécu toute ma vie ici », explique-t-elle. Les incidents d'Oxnard ont instillé la peur. Désormais, beaucoup de travailleurs sans papiers n'osent plus revenir au champ, ni même sortir de chez eux. Angélica, elle, explique qu'elle n'a pas le choix. RFI l'a jointe à distance après sa journée de travail. « On va travailler parce que la peur est toujours moins forte que la nécessité. On travaille dans la chaleur, le froid, sous la pluie, agenouillés souvent. On y va dans la peur et dans l'anxiété. Tout ça pour que la nation puisse avoir de quoi manger sur sa table. Sans nous, les paysans, il n'y aurait rien de tout ça », rappelle-t-elle. Le secteur agricole du comté de Ventura, qui abrite Oxnard, a tiré la sonnette d'alarme. Entre 25 et 45% des travailleurs agricoles auraient cessé de se présenter au travail. À lire aussiÉtats-Unis: l'ICE, une police anti-immigration aux méthodes justifiées par la politique du chiffre

On the afternoon of June 17, 2025, the prosecution in Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy trial presented further evidence to support their allegations. Special Agent DeLeassa Penland testified about financial records linking Combs' business accounts to expenses associated with alleged "freak-off" parties, including payments for travel and accommodations for male escorts. The jury was shown extensive excerpts from explicit videos, reportedly filmed on Cassie Ventura's laptop, depicting these encounters. Prosecutors argued that these recordings were used to intimidate and silence the women involved, with Ventura testifying that Combs threatened to release the footage, causing her significant distress.In response, the defense contended that the videos demonstrated consensual participation, highlighting text messages from Ventura expressing enthusiasm for the events. They argued that the recordings were private and intimate, not intended to be seen by the public, and were being misrepresented by the prosecution. The defense also noted that Ventura's communications were likely influenced by her desire to please Combs. The trial is nearing its conclusion, with the prosecution expected to rest its case by the end of the week, and the defense planning to present a brief rebuttal.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:@innercitypress 

In response to the defendant's recent motion for a mistrial in United States v. Combs, the Government opposes the claims that it intentionally elicited perjured testimony from witnesses Casandra Ventura and Bryana Bongolan. The defendant alleges that the Government improperly coached Ventura and Bongolan to provide false statements under oath. Furthermore, the defense argues that testimony from Mia about her interactions with law enforcement regarding the defendant was improperly introduced. The defendant claims that these actions were prejudicial and that they necessitate a mistrial.The Government asserts that these allegations are without merit and should be rejected. It argues that Ventura and Bongolan's testimonies were consistent with prior statements and there is no evidence to suggest any intentional misleading of the court. Regarding Mia's testimony, the Government contends that it was relevant and necessary for presenting the full context of the case, and there was no improper influence or violation of procedural rules. The Government maintains that the motion for a mistrial is unfounded and should not delay the trial proceedings.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.412.0.pdf
