In a continued effort to discredit the witness who went by the pseudonym, "Jane" may have instigated a physical fight with Sean Combs in June 2024 to use it against him later.

"She knows there's an investigation into Sean Combs. Did she prompt this? Did she want this to happen?" defense attorney Marc Agnifilo told the jury. "Her story truly makes no sense. The whole night makes no sense."

"Jane" testified she started the incident by pushing Combs into a kitchen counter. She told the jury she ran into a bedroom and Combs kicked down the door. Outside, she testified Combs dragged her, punched her and then slapped her later in the shower.

"I think she prompted it," Agnifilo said. "That's the only way the unprovoked extreme violence makes sense."

The defense said Combs could not have knowingly committed transportation for the purposes of prostitution because he used an escort service, Cowboys 4 Angels, that is an "ongoing, successful, thriving business."

There was no witness that introduced himself saying, "Hi, I'm a male prostitute," Agnifilo said. "There's no actual evidence of prostitution."

He said customers of Cowboys 4 Angels pay for an escort's time.

"If you're paying for time and two adults meet, and you're paying for time, and they decide to have sex it's not illegal," Agnifilo said. "In his mind, this is ok."

Agnifilo also suggested Combs could not be guilty of racketeering conspiracy because "there was a gaping lack of evidence" from any witness testifying that Combs ran a criminal enterprise.

"This is his personal life," Agnfilio said. "It's not about an enterprise. There's no witness to say that there is. It's not about racketeering activity."

Sean Combs may have threatened to release sex tapes of Cassie Ventura or Jane but there was a "zero, zero, zero" percent chance he actually would have done it, his attorney asserted in the defense closing statement.

"He might have said that from time to time," the attorney, Marc Agnifilo said. "There's no way he's releasing any of these videos."

Agnifilo described what's depicted on the videos as an "escape," not evidence of criminal activity. "The hotel rooms are beautiful. The music is nice," Agnifilo said. "Cassie is eating watermelon."

He told the jury the videos were not as unusual or depraved as the government is suggesting.

"He's not the only man in America making homemade porn. It's a pretty popular thing nowadays," Agnifilo said.

The defense also tried to convince the jury "Jane" was no trafficking victim, asserting "she's agreeing" to the kind of sexual activity with male escorts that Combs desired.

"She regrets it. She resents him for it. That came later," Agnifilo said. "She agreed to it. That's all you need to know, and we can be done with it."

He disagreed with federal prosecutors that Combs used paying her $10,000 monthly rent as leverage to coerce her to participate.

"The house is a gesture of kindness, of decency, of niceness," Agnifilo said.

In their closing arguments on Thursday, prosecutors argued that Combs used methods of coercion, including physical violence and threats on "Jane" and Ventura in order to force them into unwanted sexual activity with male escorts.

Once the defense's closing arguments conclude, prosecutor Maurene Comey will deliver the government’s rebuttal and then the jury will break for the weekend.

The judge decided to charge the jury first thing Monday followed by deliberations.

Cassie Ventura lied about being raped by Sean Combs in 2018 so she would not get caught cheating on her now-husband, the defense argued in its closing argument in hopes of raising doubt about Ventura's credibility.

Ventura previously testified she met Combs for dinner in Malibu and then, back at her house, he raped her on the living room floor.

"Cassie told you his eyes went black. She said no. She cried. But he didn't take no for an answer. He didn't stop," prosecutor Christy Slavik said in the prosecution's closing argument.

"I suggest to you maybe it didn't happen," defense attorney Marc Agnifilo said, suggesting the sexual encounter in question was consensual.

The jury is now taking its lunch break until 1:45 p.m.

Agnifilo said he has about an hour left in his closing argument.

Prosecutor Maurene Comey said her rebuttal would take about an hour and a half. The judge said he still intends to charge the jury today.

Court has concluded for the day.

Attorneys will return to court at noon on Wednesday for a charge conference with Judge Arun Subramanian to discuss the language of the judge’s instructions to the jury.

The jury will return to court at 9 a.m. Thursday to hear closing arguments from each side, beginning with the government, then the defense, and then a government rebuttal. The closings will likely last into Friday.

The judge will read his charge to the jury once summations are finished, after which deliberations will begin. It's not yet known whether that will occur on Friday as well.

Prosecutor Maurene Comey asked the judge to instruct the defense to avoid politics, current events or the “propriety of this prosecution” during summations. Defense attorney Marc Agnifilo told the judge there was nothing to worry about in that regard.
