I hope the "job" the police did in this case is an outlier because that case was nuts. Putting evidence in red solo cups and shopping bags, not even clean ones, I think pork DNA was found in them from the food they had been eating! Using a leaf blower to help find evidence... A cop getting drunk and leaving his gun in someone else's car, Trooper Proctor's entire vile existence. I don't know if she did it or not but police officers should know better jfc.

I was in Boston recently visiting family. We went to the local pub for lunch and as it was somewhat empty, the bartender expounded at length on this case.

Apparently when Mr. O'Keefe's body was found in the driveway, the police didn't knock on the door of the home to ask if the homeowners had seen or heard anything. Not even after identifying that the body was that of a cop and one of the residents was also a cop.

If they find a dead body in my driveway, they would knock on my door and my neighbors' anytime of day to see what we knew.

USA Today - U.S. v. Combs: Latest updates

There was some convincing testimony from Combs’ former assistant and alleged “drug mule”. The prosecution is expected to finish up on Monday, the defense is expected to present their case on Tuesday & Wednesday, and we’ll likely get closing arguments on Thursday.

CNN - U.S. v. Combs: Latest updates

The prosecution’s final witness, a DHS agent, was on the stand today. The defense is expected to finish cross examining him tomorrow morning.

The defense says they will present their case this week and we should get closing arguments by Friday.

Is it typical for the defense’s case to be this much shorter than the prosecution’s? Just 2-3 days?

U.S. v. Combs - Prosecutors are seeking to drop the arson and kidnapping charges.

Does this mean that their entire case has apparently fallen apart? Or something else?

No, it says he is still charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution

Thanks - and I see what actually happened. They just removed some items for the jury to focus on for the RICO charges.

United States v. Combs: NBC News Live Updates

The closing arguments are completed. The jury is expected to receive instructions and then start deliberations on Monday.

The defense tried to present to the jury that, yes, Combs was abusive but everything involving drug use and sexual activity was part of consensual and private activity. It was a lifestyle, not trafficking!

But I’m not sure if it swayed the prosecution’s five hour long closing argument that (I think) did a fairly good job of tying Combs directing an enterprise to coercion and trafficking.

I think it will come down to whether the jury believes that Cassie Ventura and “Jane” were victims. If they do, Combs is probably toast.

I will be shocked if the jury doesn’t reach a verdict before the Fourth of July on Friday.
