OK - now US v. Sean Combs Day 26 - or not. Judge says a juror had vertigo on way to court and can't come today - trial canceled for today? Inner City Press is covering matthewrussellleeicp.substack.com/p/extra-in-sea… Docs (on Jurors 6 & X) patreon.com/posts/diddy-do… x.com/innercitypress…
Judge: I don't see how we can proceed today.
AUSA: It is a more than one day thing?
Judge: Sounds like a one time thing. Mr. Agnifilo?
Combs' Agnifilo: Could we have a sealed sidebar so I can ask questions?
AUSA: Fine, sealed
[Musing during sealed sidebar-
what is it were the juror who, after Juror 6 was excluded, was the subject of yesterday's threat to seize and search cell phones? Would this be a time to switch a second juror to alternate? They are still at sidebar]
9:04 am they're back
Judge: Very good, we're going to - oh, I'm sorry... OK, we are going to inquire further into the juror issue. Meanwhile, some exhibits have been flagged, D Roc's. Mr. Driscoll?
Combs' Driscoll: There's no foundation this is One Stop
Combs' Driscoll: In the absence of proof that it is One Stop, it is not relevant.
Judge: It is obviously a drug transaction. Ms. Steiner, with whom is this exhibit to be used?
AUSA Steiner: No particular witness. Even if it's not One Stop, there's much about drugs
AUSA Steiner: The second chat is about three bottles for a price-
Judge: If you had someone who would testify this was One Stop's number. But I've just read this. It's some kind of transaction, but it does not reference drugs
AUSA Steiner: We may have another exhibit that could establish this.
Judge: OK, we'll see. Ms. Shapiro, in the defendant's request to charge the issue is raised about how the RICO predicate should be addressed. Let me refresh your recollection...
[Requests to charge will be addressed]
Judge: Anything more before we end?
AUSA: Let me pull up the exhibits...
Judge: I'm looking at 432, seems it links the number 7333 with One Stop. Mr. Driscoll?
Combs' Driscoll: It still can't be taken to refer to drugs
Judge: What does FB stand for?
AUSA: Football. The shape. And Ms. Ventura said that percs were yellow. The defendant's chats with One Stop are not hearsay. That applies to the D Roc chats as well.
Judge: That doesn't address what Mr. Driscoll says.
AUSA: A-432 is a longer chat with referenced to drugs including yellow footballs
Judge: Why don't you send that to the court
[Will that be docketed? storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
