Richard Allen's fate is now in the hand of the jury. Twelve men and woman have been tasked with determining, back on the evidence presented, whether or not Allen is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The burden of proof is on the state. The judge told the jury in their instruction that "beyond all possible doubt” is not their guidepost. She said defendants are not convicted on suspicion, and that the jury decision must be unanimous.

The defense surprised the courtroom yesterday by resting their case, not calling as many witnesses as expected. Closing arguments today were completed by lunchtime. Just after 1pm the jury went behind closed doors to pick a fore person. Deliberations will continue until 4pm today, unless the jury chooses to stay and deliberate longer. Sunday is the only day, deliberations won't take place.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs celebrated his 55th birthday behind bars at the MDC. In addition to a call from his children, Combs enjoyed a ‘breakfast cake’ for his first meal of the day, and had a choice of pizza, salad, or pasta for dinner. The disgraced mogul turned a year older amidst a desperate battle to instate a gag order as more damaging claims emerge from complainants and witnesses. The latest allegation? That a grand jury witness is in possession of at least 8 of Diddy’s sex-tapes with A-list celebrities—some minors.

Courtney Burgess, reportedly a friend of the late Kim Porter, tells reporters outside the courthouse that he just testified in front of the Diddy Grand Jury as a witness. Burgess claims that Porter gave him 11 flash drives for safekeeping shortly before her death. Burgess says the drives store at least 8 sex tapes picturing Combs with different A-list celebrities, who Burgess describes as victims, 2 or 3 of whom appear to be minors. Burgess claims he no longer has possession of the tapes.

Two days after Courtney Burgess publicly discusses his testimony, Sean Combs’ legal team submits a letter to Judge Subramanian demanding with renewed urgency that he establish a gag order. The defense attorneys specifically cite Courtney Burgess’ eagerness to speak with the media and a New York Post article using a federal agent as a source as “improper pretrial publicity” that is “making it impossible” for Combs to have a fair trial.
