Diddy Trial: Arson Evidence and Shocking Testimony Surface
The trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs took another turn with the introduction of photos depicting the fire-damaged Porsche of Kid Cudi. Deonte Nash, a key witness and stylist to Cassie Ventura, testified about witnessing Combs assaulting Ventura and forcing her into unwanted sexual acts with male prostitutes. "He was going to first start by sending them to her parents' jobs," Nash stated, revealing Combs' alleged threat to release sex tapes of Ventura. The defense attempted to get a mistrial, arguing the prosecution was implying Combs was responsible for the destruction of evidence, but the judge denied the motion. The arson remains an open case, and its connection to the other charges is a key element of the prosecution's strategy to prove racketeering activity.
