| 0:00.0 | This is On Trial, a special series from Dateline True Crime Weekly, bringing you daily coverage from the Sean Combs racketeering trial. |
| 0:08.4 | He has pleaded not guilty to all the charges against him. I'm Andrea Canning, and it's Thursday, June 5th. |
| 0:15.7 | Just a heads up in this episode, we're going to be talking about some graphic details and harrowing subject matter. Today, the prosecution's last key witness began her testimony. The judge has allowed her to |
| 0:27.2 | testify under a pseudonym to avoid harassment. She is being called Jane in the courtroom. And the |
| 0:33.5 | judge has asked the press to be very careful about revealing her identity, so we are not going to describe her. |
| 0:39.7 | What we can tell you is that the government's third superseding indictment against Sean Combs lists her as victim number two. |
| 0:47.6 | The prosecution alleges that Combs recruited her and used force, fraud, and coercion to get her to engage in commercial sex acts. |
| 0:56.8 | They're alleging that Combs replaced Cassie Ventura in Freakoffs with Jane, and some of those |

| 1:22.1 | if you continue to look at the jury and make faces, any sort of expression at all, I'm going to kick you out |
| 1:29.3 | of the courtroom and you're not going to be able to be here. And Diddy just said, yes, Judge, |
| 1:34.8 | I understand. So during testimony of Brianna Bongolin, I guess Diddy was nodding and really |
| 1:42.9 | shaking his head and making eye contact with the jury. |
| 1:45.6 | Brianna, who claims that Combs dangled her over a balcony. Yes, and her testimony really had a lot of |
| 1:53.4 | holes today on cross-examination, Andrea. It's what a ton of journalists were buzzing about outside |
| 1:59.7 | of the courthouse, that it was a big day |
| 2:01.8 | for the defense. Okay. Is this the first time, Chloe, that Combs has been scolded for doing something |
| 2:08.7 | like this by the judge? I've been in the courtroom most days, and I have never seen anything like |
| 2:14.4 | this happen. But I do want to give you the perspective of somebody that's literally |
