It's one area, particularly with this case, where there is so much evidence, where there are tons of photos and text messages and emails, where the prosecution kind of has a leg up here because they can build off this testimony with all of this material.
Yeah, that's an interesting point, especially with a trial like this one where we're talking about testimony and witnesses who might be victims of an alleged crime. So in this case, there are certain pieces of evidence that only the jury is seeing that aren't being publicly released, aren't being shown to the jury.

So they have those screens in front of each of the computers in front of the jury to make sure that they can see that without kind of risking unnecessary harm. For example, showing a photo of a victim who their image really serves no public interest basically in being released.

There's a weird kind of technological dance that happens every time, a piece of evidence put in by the prosecution of the defense here, where basically the judge has to sign off before the jury can see anything. And the defense has an opportunity to object. So basically, the evidence is slowly spread out throughout the courtroom. First, it's only on the screens for the judge and for the attorneys.

Then the witness gets to see it so they can identify it. And then only when it's been entered into evidence can the jury actually see it. And at that point can usually the members of the gallery see it.

So if there's a mess up there, if the jury sees a piece of evidence that they shouldn't be seeing, that didn't get entered into evidence, that could be really prejudicial, that could become the grounds for a mistrial. So it's kind of like a high stakes technology thing that happens every single time something's entered into evidence.

Yeah. There's a few categories here. And at this point, I think we're up to about more than 250 government exhibits, about 30 or 40 defense exhibits. And some of them are minor things like face cards for each of the witnesses so that when it comes time to do a closing statement, they can kind of build out a clever chart that shows their allegation of what is a criminal enterprise.

But broadly speaking, I would say breaks down into a few categories. There are photos taken from the raids of Sean Combs' property. So we've already seen the photos taken from the raid of his Miami home and the raid of his hotel room when he was in New York to surrender. And during those raids, investigators found illegal drugs.
