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)? Image

All rise!
Judge: Ms. Geragos, you may proceed.

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.

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.
