00:00Cassie could go into labor while testifying in the Diddy trial.
00:03Sean Diddy Combs' attorneys hit back at Cassie Ventura's emotional testimony on the third day of questioning
00:08with a scathing cross-examination that pushed her to her limits.
00:11In a courtroom charged with tension, Diddy's trial has taken a new turn.
00:16Cassie Ventura, the acclaimed singer and key witness, is currently eight months pregnant
00:21and facing the immense pressure of testifying against the music mogul.
00:26After enduring three full days on the stand, prosecutors warned the Manhattan federal court
00:31they fear she might go into labor before the trial concludes.
00:35The government's letter to the judge urged that Diddy's defense attorneys
00:38should not be granted extra time over the weekend to cross-examine Cassie,
00:43highlighting the real risk of a mistrial if the witness delivers her baby mid-trial.
00:48This unprecedented situation has placed extraordinary urgency on proceedings,
00:52with the courtroom balancing legal process against the natural limits of human endurance.
00:57The judge for the Diddy trial is giving Cassie a day and a half to testify.
01:01Judge Arun Subramanian was firm in setting the timeline for cross-examination.
01:06You will have today and the morning tomorrow, he said,
01:09emphasizing that Cassie's limited availability was not negotiable.
01:14This statement came after the defense's lead counsel, Mark Agnifilo,
01:17expressed surprise at the hard deadline, underscoring how critical the witness is
01:22in a case that could lead to a life sentence.
01:25The judge responded sharply, reminding the defense team that the witness's schedule
01:29had been discussed repeatedly.
01:31You have a day and a half, he reiterated, signaling the court's desire to keep the trial
01:36moving swiftly, despite the strain on Cassie.
01:39This exchange illustrated the high stakes and logistical challenges
01:43inherent in a trial intersecting with such personal circumstances.
01:49Cassie had to take a break from testifying against Diddy because of texts.
01:53The emotional toll on Cassie was evident Thursday morning,
01:56just minutes into cross-examination, by defense attorney Anna Esteval.
02:01The lawyer presented a series of text messages between Cassie and Diddy,
02:05aiming to suggest she was a willing participant in their alleged freak-offs,
02:09group encounters central to the prosecution's case.
02:12One particular message, graphic in nature, overwhelmed Cassie emotionally,
02:17causing her to request a break.
02:19Holding her baby bump, she struggled to maintain composure,
02:22as the courtroom watched a rare glimpse of the personal cost
02:25borne by someone forced to relive those memories under such intense scrutiny.
02:30The moment underscored how physically demanding testifying has become for the singer,
02:35far beyond what is typical for courtroom testimony.
02:38Diddy's team tried to convince everyone Cassie gave consent.
02:42The defense attempted to frame Diddy's behavior as consensual and part of an open swingers' lifestyle,
02:48that Cassie allegedly understood and accepted.
02:51They leaned heavily on the text to argue that the singer was not coerced,
02:55but a willing participant in the group events.
02:58However, Cassie's testimony painted a very different picture.
03:00She maintained that while the text might imply consent,
03:04they existed within a broader context of intimidation.
03:08This contrast highlighted the complicated nature of consent in those relationships
03:11and raised questions about the line between choice and coercion.
03:16The defense's portrayal clashed sharply with the prosecution's narrative of victimization.
03:22Cassie went into detail about her time with Diddy.
03:25During her direct testimony earlier in the trial,
03:28Cassie revealed details of alleged mistreatment by Diddy.
03:31She described repeated incidents of dark moments.
03:35These chilling allegations exposed the underbelly of what appeared, publicly,
03:40to be a glamorous relationship.
03:42Cassie's recounting of these events brought a stark reality to the courtroom,
03:45helping jurors grasp the severity of the alleged charges.
03:50Diddy gave Cassie something unsafe while she wasn't in her right mind.
03:54Among the most disturbing revelations was Cassie's testimony
03:57that Diddy once handed her a self-defense item while she was under the influence.
04:02Adding to the new info,
04:03Cassie disclosed that Diddy made her call him by a family nickname,
04:07a detail that confused the room and hinted at a twisted dynamic within their relationship.
04:13Cassie revealed what the freak-offs did to her health.
04:15Cassie detailed the lasting physical toll from the marathon freak-offs,
04:20describing medical complications resulting from the sessions.
04:23Her testimony emphasized how the encounters left scars beyond bruises.
04:28The court also reviewed the 2016 surveillance footage
04:31capturing Diddy and Cassie at a New York City hotel,
04:34video evidence that left a palpable impact on the courtroom.
04:38Cassie's emotional recounting of that day, including her fear,
04:41painted a vivid picture of repeated mistreatments escalating into public moments.
