Show Notes
The prosecution showed texts sent by "Mia" -- a former personal assistant of Combs testifying under a pseudonym -- where she told his chief of staff that she was having "night terrors" about him. But the defense left binders of printed out Instagram posts on the jurors' chairs. In most of them "Mia" praised her boss and showed off a party-heavy, globe-trotting lifestyle. Combs's attorney Brian Steel also pushed back on her claims that Combs sexually assaulted her.
