While a great deal of violence and criminal behavior has been shown to jurors in the Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs trial, his defense still tries to paint him as a ‘bipolar swinger’ who may at most have committed ‘Domestic Violence’ – a crime for which he has NOT been indicted.
In this sense, yesterday (20) a former personal assistant to the rapper may have moved the needle by talking about his former boss’ ‘use of guns, lie detector tests and drugs’ as a modus operandi of a criminal organization.
Associated Press reported:
“David James’ testimony came in the second week of a trial in Manhattan federal court that is scheduled to last up to two months. If convicted of the charges he faces, including racketeering, the Bad Boy Records founder could be sentenced to at least 15 years in prison.”
Prosecutors intend to call several former Combs employees, trying to prove that Diddy ‘used threats and violence to control employees and associates and commit crimes.’
“James, a personal assistant for Combs from 2007 to 2009, testified about a job that seemed to come with increasing perils until he realized his life was in danger and quit, with notice, after he was forced to drive a car in which an angry Combs sat in the back seat with three handguns on his lap.”
James also said it was his job to stock ‘freak-off’ rooms with fresh underwear, an iPod, apple sauce, vodka, baby oil, Viagra and condoms.
“Another time, he said Combs summoned him to his office to show him video he’d recorded at a party of James dancing wildly and told him: ‘Ok. I’m going to keep this footage in case I ever need It’. James said he took it as a threat to keep him in line.”
This could reinforce Cassie’s testimony that Diddy threatened to release videos of her having sex with male escorts ‘if she didn’t do as he said’.
The former assistant took lie detector tests twice when Diddy and his crew were trying to find out who stole cash or a watch.
Diddy was on drugs nearly every day, he told the jury, taking Percocet by day, ecstasy by night, and pills looking like then-President Barack Obama.
James testified that he was terrified to be involved in Diddy’s attempt to confront rapper Suge Knight — another incident also mentioned by Cassie.
“James told jurors that Combs then ordered him to drive them — Combs and the bodyguard known as D-Roc — to the diner. James said he looked back at one point and saw Combs in the backseat with three handguns on his lap.
[…] ‘I was real shook up by it’, James testified. ‘This was the first time being Mr. Combs’ assistant that I realized my life was in danger’.”
