P Diddy's trial has continued, with a former personal assistant of Sean 'Diddy' Combs and a long-time friend of his ex-girlfriend Cassie currently being cross-examined by the defence attorney
he third week of P Diddy's trial is underway as his former personal assistant and Cassie's confidant took to the stand with many bombshell claims.
The case is in its third week. Diddy, 55, is currently facing a number of serious charges, including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution.
He was arrested in September and strongly denies all allegations made against him. He has been in prison since his arrest, and a number of bail requests have been rejected.
Last week, rapper Kid Cudi took to the stand and he claimed that his Porsche was burned by what he called a Molotov cocktail, which is a hand-throwing bomb filled with flammable liquid.
Elsewhere, Cassie's mother, Regina Ventura, also gave evidence. She had claimed that she feared for her daughter, telling the jury she took out a loan to pay Combs as she was worried about her safety. Diddy's former assistant, David James, also testified, along with Cassie's former friend Kerry Morgan.
Capricorn Clark is currently testifying in the case and prosecutors are said to be planning to call on representatives for both the Los Angeles fire and police departments. The court case took an extended pause for Memorial Day.
While Clark took to the stand, it was reported that Cassie went into labour and was rushed to a hospital in New York. The trial continues.

See Photos of Kid Cudi's Porsche After It Was Damaged by Molotov Cocktail — Allegedly on Diddy's Orders
Members of the jury in the trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs were shown photos of rapper Kid Cudi's car after it blew up in 2011.
Combs, who is on trial for sex-trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution, sat a few feet away from Kid Cudi — whose real name is Scott Mescudi — as the Grammy-winning rapper recounted alleged threats Combs made when he learned Mescudi was dating Combs' ex-girlfriend Casandra "Cassie" Ventura.
Combs and Ventura were in an on-again, off-again relationship for over a decade. She dated Mescudi when she was going through "a rough patch" with Combs, she previously alleged in a lawsuit against Combs.
Ventura had testified that Combs threatened to blow up Mescudi's car after learning of their relationship — and Mescudi testified Thursday that someone threw a Molotov cocktail into his blue Porsche soon after. He said he believed Combs to be responsible.
The jury was presented with photos of the car after the explosion.
Prosecutors to call four more witnesses
Four more witnesses will be called to testify on Wednesday. These include a Los Angeles Police Department officer, a Los Angeles Fire Department investigator, Denote Nash, and a woman who has been known as "Mia".
Maurene Comey, prosecuting, believes the team will be able to speak to all four witnesses.
