Judge: Anything before the jury comes in? Does the defense want to respond to the Government on the juror issue?
Combs' Alexandra Shapiro: This is a thinly veiled attempt to exclude a Black juror.
AUSA: We looked at the record and found a lack of candor

Judge: We'll deal with it before the weekend. Are the jurors ready?
No.
Judge: Well. They we'll take ten minutes.

[Waiting waiting for the jurors, Combs is reading something, talking to Agnifilo on one side, Shapiro one seat away - about the juror the US wants to remove?
Still waiting for jury

[Incidentally, why isn't the prosecutors' letter seeking to exclude the juror in the docket, at least in redacted form, despite Inner City Press request - and Judge Subramanian's order(s)?

All rise!
Judge: Ms. Geragos, you may proceed.
Combs' Teny Geragos: I was to admit this exhibit under seal. Can you read that, Jane? Messages December 2021 between yourself and Cabral after a hotel night?
Jane: Yes.
Geragos: You had a pretty intense night?
A: Yes

Combs' Geragos: He says to you, You were talking so dirty to me, I love it.
Jane: Yes. I'm being friendly here.
Geragos: After your long hotel night, you saw him with Gina?
Jane: Yes.

Combs' Geragos: Then Cabral wrote to you that he would be in LA, and he's stay to see you if you wanted?
Jane: Yes.
Geragos: What do you say?
Jane: It's my birthday weekend and you don't show me no love

Jane: Yes

Combs's Geragos: The Valentines Day hotel night, having two men there, was that your idea?
Jane: It was.... After these nights, it was crushing to see these things
Geragos: Like Gina posting the Love bracelet on Instagram, right?
Jane: Yes.

Combs' Geragos: Here, Mr. Combs says, I'm j*erking my d*ck thinking how nasty you are going to be to me, right?
Jane: Yes.
Geragos: He says Call Italian or Paul is free and you Liked Paul is free, right?
Jane: Yes.
Geragos: He gave you a choice, and you chose
Yes

Combs' Geragos: He responds, I told Paul 11 pm, is that OK - and let's watch porn first, right?
Jane: Yes.
Geragos: He says, London hotel. What would you get?
Jane: Stripper shoes. Shorts. Maybe whips.

Combs' Geragos: Why shorts?
Jane: I was really turned off by their shorts. So I got other shorts for them. It was not so fun to wait for them to be erect, I started to get things on the sid so they could get erect. I got pills at the stores. Rhino pills

Combs' Geragos: The next day, he says, Wanna do dinner at 9, bring the freak bag just in case?
Jane: Right. Lingerie and the rest.
Geragos: But you didn't have a freak night - let me refresh your recollection...And this exhibit under seal.

Jane: There was probably a Facetime between these two
Geragos: He says, Did you want to hit Italian, right?
Jane: Yes. I didn't want to.

Combs' Geragos: Sean says, Paul is all we need, and you say LOL. What do you say?
Jane: I'll go to the store, unless you get a head start.

Combs' Geragos: Then you send him photos of your guys in the hotel room?
Jane: Yes.
Geragos: You didn't tell him you didn't like it until you saw him with Caresha in Turks, right?

Judge: I understand Ms. Geragos will finish tomorrow morning. Who will be the next Government witnesses?
AUSA: Andre Lamaz [sp], Jonathan Perez, then our first summary witness Ms. Sankar.
Judge: When will you rest?
AUSA: Next Friday. Or even Wednesday
