  • Sean Combs: Defense motion for mistrial denied.
    May 29 2025

    Combs's defense team objected to prosecution questions about fingerprint evidence from Kid Cudi's Hollywood Hills home that was destroyed in the custody of the LAPD. "They were suggesting to this jury that someone in this courtroom had something to do with the improper and suspicious destruction of these fingerprint cards and that's outrageous," said defense attorney Marc Agnifilo. But the judge refused to call a mistrial.

    May 28 2025

    Josh Mankiewicz sits down with Blayne Alexander to discuss his Dateline episode "Deadly Mirage" about the 2014 murder of Rob Limon in Tehachapi, California. The subsequent investigation uncovered an affair in which the Bible was used to justify murder. Josh and Blayne discuss Rob, his wife, and their friends – the self-proclaimed “Wolf Pack” – and the unorthodox secrets of the desert oasis they called home. Josh tells Blayne how the confessed murderer pointed prosecutors to another key player in the scheme. Later, Josh shares an extra clip from the killer’s testimony at trial. Plus, he answers your questions from social media.

  • Sean Combs: Capricorn Clark testifies.
    May 28 2025

    Diddy's longtime employee took the stand with her version of a story previously relayed by Cassie Ventura and Kid Cudi. She says she was kidnapped from her home by a gun-toting Combs, who told her they were going to kill Kid Cudi, and she watched as Combs "gained access" to the pop star's house. Plus, she says, years before that she was subjected to five days of lie detector tests conducted by a man who said, "If you fail these tests, they're going to throw you in the East River." But the defense showed Clark proof she asked for Combs's forgiveness -- and another job. Combs's team denies all her allegations and disputes even use of the words "kidnapping" or "break in."
