Kid Cudi<\/a>.<\/p>\nCombs\u2019 lead lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, has criticised the prosecution for making an \u201coutrageous\u201d suggestion his client could have been involved in the destruction of fingerprint evidence connected to the 2011 Molotov cocktail attack on Kid\u2019s Porsche. Mr Agnifilo argued the implication was unfairly presented to the jury during the cross-examination of arson investigator Lance Jimenez. <\/p>\n
Lance had testified fingerprint evidence from the Molotov cocktail bottle was destroyed in 2012 without his knowledge, on orders from the Los Angeles Police Department, which was not part of his investigative team.<\/p>\n
After a brief recess and with the jury excused, Mr Agnifilo said the prosecution\u2019s remarks \u201cimplied that someone in this courtroom was responsible for the destruction of the fingerprint cards\u201d. <\/p>\n
\nHe urged Judge Arun Subramanian to declare a mistrial on grounds of prosecutorial misconduct, but the motion was denied. The judge agreed to strike the fingerprint evidence discussion from the record and instructed the jury to disregard it as irrelevant to the case.<\/p>\n
\nDay 11 of Combs\u2019 trial began on Wednesday (28.05.25) with testimony from a Los Angeles police officer who responded to the break-in at Kid Cudi\u2019s property in December 2011. <\/p>\n
\nCapricorn Clark, who worked intermittently for Combs between 2004 and 2018, testified on Tuesday (27.05.25) about the alleged stressful and violent environment she endured at the rapper\u2019s hands, which she said caused her to develop alopecia. She said Combs threatened her repeatedly, including on her first day after learning she had worked for his rival Suge Knight\u2019s Death Row Records.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWhat did Mr. Combs tell you in the park?\u201d prosecutors asked Capricorn.<\/p>\n
\nShe replied: \u201cThat since I\u2019d worked for Suge Knight, if anything happened, he might have to kill me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nCapricorn added Combs and his security guard allegedly kidnapped her in December 2011 after learning about the relationship between Kid Cudi and Combs\u2019 singer ex Cassie Ventura, 38.<\/p>\n
\nShe said she witnessed Combs break into Kid\u2019s home and engage in a car chase after the rapper in his black Porsche.<\/p>\n
\nCapricorn also said she was forced to undergo a five-day lie detector test and was threatened with being \u201cthrown in a river\u201d if she failed, following the disappearance of some of Combs\u2019 jewelry.<\/p>\n
\nShe described being allegedly locked in an abandoned New York building while questioned over the missing items.<\/p>\n
\nClark broke down in tears during her testimony while describing the apparent brutal conditions of her employment and said she worked long hours for low pay under constant threat.<\/p>\n
\nMore than a dozen witnesses, including Cassie, have testified against Combs so far. <\/p>\n
\nThe 55-year-old denies all charges and maintains his sexual encounters were consensual.<\/p>\n
\nHis federal trial is expected to continue for eight weeks and he faces up to life in jail if convicted on all charges against him.<\/p>\n
