Well, it sounds like, Megan, they're finally getting into some of the meat of the matter, because up until now, we've heard a lot of emotionally charged testimony. We've heard about domestic violence. We've heard about third-rate burglaries and things like that, like you were just discussing. But we haven't heard much about how this was some type of criminal enterprise related to sex trafficking.

We're starting to hear now that who these people are that are the other racketeers. You've got other employees, security personnel. And so the government is starting to make its case. They've got a long way to go. But until today, I had a lot of reasonable doubt that things that I was thinking about because these witnesses all seem to have.

some degree of kind of affection for Combs or maybe had affection in the past. And it may be that they all had some kind of an angle, some incentive to testify against him, maybe sour grapes. So the defense has been doing a pretty good job on cross-examination. But let's see if they can sustain that momentum now that the prosecution is really getting into the heart of the matter.

Well, you know, this whole testimony from this particular witness is a head scratcher. I mean, first off, who lives like this? You know, I'm a former police officer, prosecutor, criminal lawyer. And I can tell you that when people are aware of a burglary in progress or when they get arrested, physically assaulted and thrown yards and yards down a football field or that length.

Anyway, people call the police. People complain in real time. And there's other things that a jury could look at to corroborate their testimony. This whole business about working... 20 hours a day straight with maybe four hours of sleep day in and day out without meal breaks or restroom breaks. That's just not the kind of thing that's really believable in my view.

And it strains credibility to believe that this has actually happened. So what it looks to me like is that she's exaggerating a little bit. Maybe because she's got some kind of sour grapes. Maybe because she is some victim in some capacity. I don't know. But when she's seen to be stretching some of it, a jury can disregard the entirety of her testimony.

Yeah, well, again, how are we going to corroborate and prove that other than accepting her and her work? Maybe we have the paper. If they have the paper and they can produce it, great. But if not, it's just another in the whole laundry list of things that just makes me wonder that if she's not just exaggerating a little bit.
