Crime Roundup with Nancy Grace: Is Diddy Controlling the Courtroom?

Sean Diddy Combs’ unsettling response to watching ‘freak-off’ tapes in a private part of court catches the attention of those around him in court.

The rap mogul allegedly licks his lips and rubs his hands together after watching a ‘freak-off’ tape. The disgraced music mogul asks for extra time to watch tapes of his ex-girlfriend, Cassandra Ventura, having sex with male escorts while Combs watched. Diddy’s defense lawyers say the videos prove the rapper was having consensual sex rather than committing crimes.

As Diddy’s trial comes to a close, he grants full access to his biggest Hollywood supporter, Kanye West, who is supporting the disgraced rapper. During Kanye’s first appearance, the “gold digger” rapper was escorted to an overflow room. Combs then adds West to his guest list and reports suggest West may attend the trial again as the defense presents their case.

The jury could start deliberating as early as Friday, Sean “Diddy” Combs’ lawyer, Teny Geragos, tells the judge. Geragos says the defense and prosecution will each take a minimum of four hours delivering closing arguments which may begin as early Thursday.
