Bernarda Villalona

And I think right now and again, this is only what day three of testimony. They haven't got into that racketeering conspiracy. I think that in terms of the other two charges, you haven't gotten there beyond a reasonable doubt. This is not a civil lawsuit. You have a burden and that burden is beyond a reasonable doubt. And you're going to have to meet it with some evidence.

And that's a common issue that you see with domestic violence victims, with sexual assault victims, because it takes them a long time, number one, to realize that they were victimized and two, to have the courage to come forward and actually to speak to other people about what happened to them. But three, Look what happens behind closed doors. You just never know what happens behind closed doors.

So when Cassie was testifying about the text messages, she also put it into context as to why she sent those text messages, what was going on in her mind, that she wanted to satisfy Sean Combs, that she wanted to be a part of this in the sense of that she was scared that if she didn't participate, what would happen to her.

We're ultimately going to see later on during the trial an expert come in and testify as to how and why victims like these react the way they do and are capable to send these texts that may look consensual to other people, but when you break it down mentally, you're able to see that this is a victim, a person that is broken, a person that has been tainted, a person that has been brainwashed as a result of the violence and the control that Sean Combs had over her.
