In a response letter addressed to Judge Arun Subramanian, the defense team representing Sean "Diddy" Combs reiterated their objection to witnesses consulting with attorneys during breaks in cross-examination. Referencing the government’s and Cassie Ventura’s legal counsel’s previous filings, the defense argued that the reasoning laid out in Perry v. Leeke, 488 U.S. 272 (1989), supports their position. They claimed that the risks of witness coaching or testimony manipulation identified by the Supreme Court in Perry are not only relevant but even more pronounced in the present case due to the high-profile nature and complexity of the allegations. The defense maintained that to preserve the integrity of the proceedings and ensure the truthfulness of testimony, the court should bar all witnesses from communicating with any third parties—including their own lawyers—while they remain under cross-examination. They argued that even brief consultations during recesses could compromise the adversarial process and allow for improper influence or coordinated narrative adjustments. Accordingly, the defense asked the court to issue a clear order prohibiting such communications for the duration of a witness's cross-examination. to  contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.628425/gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.335.0.pdf" target="_blank">gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.335.0.pdf</a> Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support</a>.
