Jane continued cross-examination about hotel-night arrangements and relationship communications as the Court deferred juror and evidentiary rulings.

Full day summary

Defense counsel continued cross-examining Jane with messages, photographs, and other exhibits concerning hotel nights, travel, gifts, and communications from 2021 through 2023. Jane acknowledged sometimes suggesting or organizing arrangements and sending affectionate messages to Mr. Combs, while testifying that she felt pressure within the relationship and resented being unable to refuse him. The Court addressed Jane's ability to continue while she was emotional and admitted multiple defense exhibits under seal. Outside the jury's presence, the Court deferred decisions on the government's proposed removal of a Black juror and on admitting five of Jane's notes as prior consistent statements, setting briefing and review for the next morning.
