Diddy's Trial Begins: Ex-Girlfriend to Testify
Sean "Diddy" Combs' trial for racketeering and sex trafficking began Monday with opening statements. Combs has pleaded not guilty to the charges, which include allegations from four women. A key witness expected to testify is Combs' ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. Attorney Judie Saunders, specializing in sexual abuse cases, noted the importance of unbiased jury selection. "Neither side is looking for the perfect juror," Saunders said, "You want a juror that's willing to understand and not let their life experiences pollute what they need to do." The defense is expected to attempt to portray Ventura as violent, a strategy Saunders described as "tricky." The trial is expected to continue for several weeks.
