They're back
Judge: Let's get the witness on the stand.
Jury enters.
Combs' Teny Geragos: Agent Cercielo, this exhibit shows expenses paid for Sean Combs - this is an account from Quickbooks? In an abudance of caution let's turn off the public screen

Combs' Geragos: Let's look 7 lines down [public screen is off] Jet Blue, LA, Agency fee, other, AR receipt Sean Combs, do you see that?

Combs' Geragos: When you did the chart, you saw only the AmEx records?
Agent Cerciello: I saw what was presented to me.
Geragos: This is another chart that you reviewed, let's go to page 15, row 39 - you listed the lawsuit Ventura v. Combs, and Comb's IG video

Combs' Geragos: Do you see this month to month lease in Jane's true name - have you ever seen this exhibit?
Agent Cerciello: I have not.
Geragos: Turn the public screens back on. Here we saw Combs saying, Damn wish you were here, right?
Cerciello: Yes

[Programming note: because the public screens of these exhibits have been turned off nearly all day, the seeming fast oral reference to Swipe Diddler may have been too good to be true - earlier in the case we referred to Cabral as Sly aka Sly Diggler, fwiw]

Combs' Geragos: Here Jane writes, "I'm horny for you" and "put in deep in me" - these next two pages are not in your chart, are they?
Agent Cerciello: No, I don't think so.
Geragos: She writes, "Having wine miss you" - that's not included?
Cerciello: It is not

Combs' Geragos: She write, I have some here but mostly black dominatrix style, right?
Agent Cerciello: Yes.

Agent Cerciello: Yes

Combs' Geragos: The messages you reviewed omitted emojis, right?
Agent Cerciello: I'm not sure.
Geragos: Jane writes, See you soon with kiss-face emoji, then heart-eye emojis. He [Cabral / Sly] writes, Me too, also with emojis, right?
Cerciello: Yes

Combs' Geragos: Now turn off the attorneys' screens too. Do you see the metadata?
Agent Cerciello: Yes.
Geragos: Test the headphones to make sure they work... here's piano music - now play the video

Video played with public screen - and attorneys' screens - turned off

Combs' Geragos: Keep the public screen off. Pull up DX 3328. Jane messages Cabral - what does he respond?
Agent Cerciello: He texts, I'm just chilling in Houston waiting for my flight.
Geragos: Jane writes, want to come to Miami, I have a small free window, emoji

Combs' Geragos: Jane writes, Oh Sly, thank you for making me feel so beautiful
Agent Cerciello: He writes, You called me by my government name, I said said woah things getting personal now.

Geragos: Your Honor, this is a good place to stop, it's 3 pm
Judge: OK. Jurors, you may go.
[Jurors leave]
Geragos: I have an hour & 15 left, or more
Judge: OK

Judge: So tomorrow, the cross then we'll give the jurors a long break for the Rule 29 motion. If it's denied, the defense should be ready to put on its case tomorrow. Closings?
Combs' Geragos: Four hours each, with jury charge in the middle of Friday

Combs' Alexandra Shapiro: We are trying to agree on the jury instruction, but...
Judge: Let's say in the RICO conspiracy section, you have different positions.
