About
Nicole Westmoreland represented Sean Combs and cross-examined prosecution witnesses Dawn Richard and Bryana Bongolan during the trial.
On Day 10, Westmoreland questioned Richard about her pending civil lawsuit, prior government interviews, and alleged differences between those accounts and her trial testimony. Richard maintained that she had tried to give her best recollection of the frying-pan incident and an alleged statement by Combs, while acknowledging changed or different accounts concerning cocaine use and what she observed involving One Stop. Westmoreland also conducted Richard's recross.
During a sidebar on the scope of redirect, the court said the defense had not yet laid a foundation to introduce a text-message exhibit for impeachment, but permitted further questioning to try to do so. Westmoreland later cross-examined Bongolan over Day 20 and Day 21 and conducted recross.
