And in fact, jurors were shown for the first time today that horrifying videotape comes brutally beating, kicking and dragging his then girlfriend. And then a male escort took the witness stand and he talked about how he saw firsthand that same young woman repeatedly battered by the defendant, who then tried to bribe a hotel security guard with a stack of cash to get rid of the evidence.

And finally, Combs' lawyers are going to be arguing, and they said this to the jury, that the alleged female victims, and there are a lot of them, are all motivated to lie out of greed because they filed lawsuits against Combs for money damages.
