During these graphic sections of the testimony, not a lot of note-taking, not a lot of looking at Cassie. It is a lot of looking down, looking uncomfortable. Like I said, looking a little disgusted and even a little sad for her.
Yeah. During the morning, it was a lot of what I would say technical questions that kind of the who's the what's the where. And you're right. She was soft spoken, but it was very monotone where she kind of ticked through some of the names and the places that the freak offs would happen.
Wednesday afternoon, they asked her questions about how she was feeling and questions about her going to rehab and going to trauma therapy after her and Sean Combs' relationship ended. And we saw a very different Cassie. It started with her getting choked up a little bit when she talked about feeling like she has PTSD.
And then she started sobbing when she recounted a story of how she didn't want to live anymore at one point. At one point, she apologized to the prosecutor and said, I'm sorry, I just need a minute. The prosecutor offered her a box of tissue and gave her a second before they continued. But you could tell that it was a really hard thing for her to talk about.
And yeah, I think that was one of the most emotional moments that we saw from Cassie during her testimony.
So I am not a lawyer, even though I've been spending a lot of time in court these past couple months. So I'm excited to be sitting down with someone who is because I really want to get your take on something. Again, incredible testimony from Cassie Ventura. But how do you think that her testimony fits into the prosecution's charges against Sean Combs?
And I also think in my non-expert, non-legal opinion, I think that Cassie's testimony has done a lot for the charge of transportation to engage in prostitution. She has testified about multiple cases. escorts that they hired and how these same escorts, they would see them in different cities, in different states.
She talked about how they would arrange travel for some of the escorts at one point internationally. She says they flew an escort to Ibiza for a freak off. I want to get your thoughts on that. And also, what about the racketeering?
Is that what you got, Faze? Is there more coming, Faze? Come on now.
So Cassie Ventura was considered, I think, pretty much by everyone to be the government's star witness, a key witness. She is one of the first people to testify. Are there pros and cons to having your star witness testify during the very first week of what is being estimated to be an up to eight week trial, six to eight weeks trial?
Eight and a half months.
Hopefully their notes are as good as mine are.
