63.183 - 92.826 Brian Buckmeyer

This is Bad Rap, the case against Diddy. I'm Brian Buckmeyer, an ABC News legal contributor and practicing attorney. This episode, Diddy gets scolded. Week four of USA v. Sean Combs has been another full one. But let's start with this. The judge Thursday delivered a scolding of sorts to Combs through his lawyer, saying that Combs had been too expressive during the trial.

93.526 - 115.428 Brian Buckmeyer

This is definitely something I've noticed, but here's how Judge Subramanian described it. He said, quote, there's a line of questioning where your client was nodding vigorously and looking at the jury. And there was a subsequent moment when there was a sidebar and I saw your client looking at the jury. The judge then added emphatically, that is absolutely unacceptable.

116.268 - 135.435 Brian Buckmeyer

He said that there shouldn't be any efforts to interact with the jury and that if Diddy doesn't comply, he can be kicked out of the courtroom. The last witness to take the stand this week is another of Combs' alleged victims. This is the woman known as victim number two in the indictment, now going by the pseudonym Jane.

138.257 - 161.813 Brian Buckmeyer

Jane is a single mother who started spending time with Combs in 2020, while he was also seeing other women. We know from the opening statement that Jane will testify to participating in freak-offs and physical abuse, while the defense will say that it was a consenting relationship plagued by jealousy. She could be the last alleged victim to testify before the prosecution rests its case.

163.208 - 182.356 Brian Buckmeyer

Earlier this week, we also heard witnesses including Derek Ferguson, a former CFO of Combs Enterprises, Eddie Garcia, a member of the Intercontinental Hotel security team, and Brianna Bongolin, a close friend of Cassie's who testified that Diddy lifted her over the railing of a 17-story balcony.
