“This is it Sean Com“American lawyer Emily Ann Johnson told Manhattan’s jury on Monday in the courtroom on the day of the opening of the Koms trial.
The cutting into the chase about the harsh allegations of rape, abuse and assault against rapper and the founder of Bad Boy records, Johnson in the opening of the opening allegation listed in the “crime of crime” menu from “kidnapping, drugs, sexual crimes, and bribery” and more than that the Federal Reserve claims that Compass are committed over the course of two properties.
“He called himself the king, and he was expected to be treated like anyone,” referring to the alleged compass crimes like hitting his girlfriend at the time, Kassi Ventura, and “floats to her like a rag doll.” Johnson said that the procedures had facilitated it “its internal circle and huge resources for his commercial empire.”
It is expected to reach the past eight weeks, the criminal trial of Equal Dead followed His arrest last September On charges Balance, sex trafficking, transportation to engage in prostitution and more. The prominent trial on the border line was established outside the lower Manhattan Court this morning, with hundreds of media and public cards to be in the courtroom or one of the surplus rooms. This has led to the table 8:30 am, starting from the procedures that are pushed back more than an hour.
When it was said and did everything, the jury did not take the oath and sit until 10:20 am
In the opening notes of the prosecution, Johnson repeatedly returned to the determination of the sexual performances and the “amazing” auditor with the prostitutes and male women in his life, focusing on the decades -long rain relationship with Ventura.
Ventura has been appointed to testify in the coming days. To this point, Johnson today promised the jury that the witness described how she initially loved combs. However, “if Cassie did not do what the defendant wanted, the consequences were severe.” Along with the alleged violence and continuous attacks, Ventura was forced to leave a male prostitute in her mouth, and to live in fear of videos of insults that made public to destroy her career.
He said, admitting that its livelihoods and safety depend on keeping it happy, “admitting that Ventura fought sometimes and sometimes had its own affairs.
Defense, with lawyer Tiny Giragos, who directs the opening statement, had a completely different approach regarding the essence of this case.
“Sean Combs is a complicated man, but this is not a complex issue,” said Giragos, stressing that her client is innocent and is exposed to life because of an unconventional sexual life with other adults.
Gerargos added in an attempt to advance the allegations of violence and redirect it to domestic violence, saying that Sean Combes has a bad mood and sometimes out of control. “We bear full responsibility for domestic violence. Home violence is not sex trafficking. “
In contrast to Johnson’s confirmed statements, a comma, Gerargos was measured in its width. In essence, the lawyer put the Koms and Fontra behavior and domestic violence to jealousy and drugs.
“We will not be ashamed of the things that Mr. Pot did,” Girajos added, but also indicated that they will not allow trial to immerse what he did not do despite their allegations, saying, “He has a little different sexual life …” drug user. “
Moving to the video clip of the La 2016 hotel obtained and broadcast by CNN last year, about Geragos Defense tactics, describing semi -naked rain scenes chasing Ventura in the “Dehanizing” hall. It is a blatant contradiction with the most recent attempts by the defense to discredit the shots.
“The video is an overwhelming evidence of domestic violence … but it is not evidence of sex trafficking,” Giragos told jury. Instead, the violence was placed on the security shots to “a phone fighting” and “the toxic relationship between two people who loved each other.”
The lawyer said, “Ventura took the option to stay with him” for 11 years.
Before the opening of the data on Monday, the US Prosecutor’s Office for the Southern Region in New York and the accommodation team of Koms continued to constantly put the finishing touches in the form of jury, which consists of 12 jurors and six of the alternative. The main defense lawyer, Mark Agunefilo, criticized the government to hit seven potential black jury, but Judge Aaron Supermanian refused to confirm an explanation from Ada Mourin Kumi.
The ongoing prosecution deficit was not addressed to the location of the victim of the central witnesses -3 during this morning session, but the sources say that it remains a severe disagreement point between the two parties.
The opening data and trial ended in the lunch break before the prosecution released its first witness.
