The jury at Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ trial was shown a selection of shock photos this week, including Kid Cudi’s destroyed Porsche and the items found in P Diddy’s hotel room
The jury at Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ high-profile trial were shown a number of explosive images this week as each witness took to the stand.
Rapper Kid Cudi, real name Scott Mescudi and who dated Cassie Ventura in 2011, was one of the latest to take the stand, with dramatic photos shown to the jury. He spoke about an incident where his Porsche was burnt by what he called a Molotov cocktail – which is a hand thrown bomb filled with flammable liquid.
Diddy, 55, is currently facing a number of serious charges, including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution.
He was arrested in September and strongly denies all allegations made against him. He has been in prison since his arrest, and a number of bail requests have been rejected.
Kid Cudi detailed his relationship with Cassie, who is Diddy’s ex-girlfriend. He spoke of a break-in at his home and the irreparable damage to his car.
The trial continued after Homeland Security Investigations special agent Gerard Gannon returned to the stand on Wednesday speak about the raid on the disgraced rapper’s home. He became the 10th witness called by the prosecution.
Cassie’s mother, Regina Ventura, was among the people who gave evidence this week. Cassie’s mother made a heartbreaking claim in court, telling the jury she took out a loan to pay Combs as she feared for her daughter’s safety. Diddy’s former assistant, David James, also testified, along with Cassie’s former friend Kerry Morgan.
The trial will continue on Tuesday as the court takes a break for Memorial Day holiday in the US.
