About

Scott Mescudi testified on Day 13 about briefly dating Casandra Ventura in 2011, her call after she said Sean Combs had learned of their relationship, and a later report that Combs and an affiliate were inside Mescudi's home. He described finding his security cameras no longer in their prior position, opened gifts, and his dog locked in a bathroom, then calling police.

Mescudi also described a later fire that damaged his Porsche beyond repair and a subsequent meeting with Combs at Soho House. The court sustained an objection and instructed jurors to disregard Mescudi's statement that he knew Combs had something to do with the fire.

On cross-examination, Mescudi said he had no personal information that Combs-affiliated people were at his property when the vehicle was damaged, had not received fingerprint follow-up, and had not seen Combs act inappropriately toward Ventura. On redirect, he said Ventura had told him Combs would hit and sometimes kick her, described her as shaken during the call on the day of the reported break-in, and relayed Capricorn Clark's account that Combs and an affiliate made her go to his house.
