This is On Trial, a special series from Dateline True Crime Weekly bringing you daily coverage from the Sean Combs racketeering trial. He has pleaded not guilty to all the charges against him. I'm Andrea Canning, and it's Friday, June 13th. Just a heads up. In this episode, we're going to be talking about some graphic details and

civil suits, Andrea, that had been filed in the months leading up to this trial.

But now we're starting to learn that they're all synonymous.
