So on one hand, it could be that they believe they've done all what's on their checklist, that they've established a criminal enterprise, they've shown the freak ops were elaborate and organized, that they've demonstrated there wasn't consent in this. But it could also be the fact that we heard that victim number three, who we believe to be Gina Huang, isn't showing up.

And maybe without this other alleged victim in the case, they have a much shorter case to prove or put on at least. And so maybe that's why they're stopping short of what we believe that would have been their case.

So we already heard the evidence that Kid Cudi put out there saying that his car was hit with a Molotov cocktail. There was an investigation that went into it. So we're going to hear from the LA Fire Department as well as the LAPD. And I think one point that did come out that didn't really land as hard, but it might do so, In that investigation, there was female DNA on this car.

And you had Capricorn Clark say, well, she had talent, but she wasn't talented. I think they're trying to go after the argument of saying that Sean Combs wasn't controlling her career to a point that she couldn't get music out. She said she wasn't that good.
