Hey everyone, I'm Ashley Banfield and this is Drop Dead serious. We are now 20 days into the federal

racketeering trial of Sean Diddy Combs. And today was an emotional seesaw. This morning,

Diddy's lawyers laid out their version of the relationship between

Sean Combs and Jane Doe, the woman who's been testifying under a pseudonym. And Jane got grilled,

but she also held her own, and she gave some of it right back to Diddy's lawyers. His defense team made Jane's relationship with Diddy look a lot more like a kinky love story than a crime.

Jurors were presented text messages and voice notes and even audio from a romantic getaway in the Turks and Caicos.

All of them pointing to a woman who was still very much in love.

Jane even admitted as much that she still loved Sean Combs, even after everything that she has

Sean Diddy Combs, to be satisfied, that she didn't understand the, quote, terms and conditions

of the relationship, but that she accepted them anyway. And yes, she told the jury there were moments when she truly believed that he had

changed. But before we get ahead of ourselves, let's start at the beginning of the day. That is when

You'll probably remember that she is the person that diddy dangled her off a 17th story balcony.

The defense claimed it was a lie, that Diddy wasn't even in California

when Bona said it happened and they had the receipts to prove it. He was literally live on a stage

in the New York area. Can't be in two places at once. But the judge didn't bite. He ruled that even

if, quote, the government screwed up, end quote, it wasn't enough to toss the case out. And here's something you don't hear every day. The judge even praised Diddy's lawyer, Nicole Westmoreland, for her cross-examination skills. The judge also ruled against the government's request

to recall forensic psychologist Dr. Don Hughes,

who talked about trauma bonding in victims.

And then the real stuff started.

Diddy's lawyer, Tenney Garagos, yes, the daughter of famed lawyer, Mark Garagos. Teni Garagos started the cross-examination
