About
Damion Butler, referred to in testimony as D-Roc, appeared in the trial record as a member of Combs's security detail and a person described as close to Combs. Casandra Ventura, Dawn Richard, Kerry Morgan, and David James each discussed events involving him, including security-related contacts, alleged violence, and the March 5 hammer incident.
James also testified about an encounter between D-Roc and Suge Knight at Mel's Diner, followed by a drive back to the diner with Combs and firearms. On cross-examination, the defense challenged differences in James's earlier accounts and his recollection of details. The parties later disputed whether D-Roc's communications after the hammer incident showed assistance to Ventura or participation in an alleged conspiracy.
