Sean 'Diddy' Combs trial updates: Bail denied due to 'propensity for violence'

In the latest note, the jury asked to review the transcripts of Cassie Ventura's testimony about the InterContinental Hotel incident when Combs was caught on security camera attacking her.

The jury also asked for her testimony about a trip she took with Combs to the Cannes Film Festival. On the flight home, Ventura testified that Combs showed her videos of her having sex during "freak offs." She told the jury she thought, "He was going to embarrass me and release them."

The jury asked for a portion of Ventura's testimony about "freak offs" with Daniel Phillip, an escort who was also a witness at trial.

The jury asked for Daniel Phillips' testimony regarding a "freak off "at the Essex Hotel in New York. Phillip testified he saw Ventura "slumped over."

The lawyers are working out which portions of the transcript to send back to the jury room.

Kemberly Richardson reports from Lower Manhattan.

For the last 30 minutes, the lawyers have been hunched over their laptops in the courtroom following the latest, as-yet unspecified note from the jury. Combs is on a laptop with one of his lawyers.

The judge and jury have not yet entered the room.

The jury sent a fifth note since deliberations began Monday, including the first note that named the foreperson.

No immediate word on what this note is about.

U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian said he plans to answer the jury's question from yesterday about narcotics distribution by referring them to a section of their legal instructions.

"The word 'distribution' means actual, constructive, or attempted transfer. To distribute simply means to deliver, to pass over, or to hand over something to another person, or to cause it to be delivered, passed on, or handed over to another. Distribution does not require a sale," the instructions state.

In their third note yesterday, the jury asked, "If a recipient wants, requests, or asks for controlled substances, and an individual hands over controlled substances to the requester, has the individual who hands over the controlled substances distributed?"

Defense attorney Marc Agnifilo objected to the judge's instruction, saying he doesn't "believe it goes far enough" to answer the jury's question.

"The court is about to make something that amounts to a mistake," he argued. "Can I give your honor an example?"

"No," Judge Subramanian replied. "Can you do what I am asking?"

Subramanian denied the defense's request to modify the language in the response, saying it would "confuse" the jury further.

"This is an attempt to mislead the jury," prosecutor Maurene Comey argued.

Combs stroked his chin and looked directly at the judge while the argument played out. When the judge denied his lawyer's request, he stared at Agnifilo.

The structure of the verdict form instructs jurors to only consider the drug offenses and other underlying crimes "if and only if" they find Combs guilty of the racketeering conspiracy.
