They just need to show that he agreed to participate in some criminal enterprise and that these crimes were committed in furtherance of that enterprise.

Coercion is commonly understood under the statute to mean the threat of physical harm, not merely haranguing, harassing, bothering, or even threatening with loss of job or any kind of social pressure. That wouldn't be enough. But it certainly is helpful to the government to show this overall atmosphere.

of sort of threatening, harassing, hostile environment where these witnesses saw not only Combs be nasty to people, but physically violent as well. It's all part of the big picture and it helps the government.

Yeah, the mistrial request today, they preserved it for the record. But if Combs is convicted, I don't see this being a particularly appetizing appellate issue. It seemed to me that the prosecution was basically trying to ask questions that to confirm that that witness didn't lose the fingerprint cards. I understand the defense's argument, and they have to make that argument.

And in fact, I don't think even the defense expected that their mistrial motion would be granted. Virtually none of these motions are granted. But they got this benefit of having some of the testimony stricken. So it's the old theory of if you ask high, you might get what you want, even if that ends up being somewhere in the middle.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You are absolutely right. Combs is not on trial for abuse, for assault, or even rape. But those acts are evidence that will help the government prove their case in chief. And one of the elements... of the crime of sex trafficking is that someone was forced into service commercial sex acts by means of force, fraud, or coercion.

So the domestic violence really becomes part of the government's proof of that coercion, of that force. And by the way, coercion has to be something that creates a fear of physical harm. It can't just be social pressure or being yelled at.
