Former assistant David James returns to witness stand

Jurors will get a more insider’s look at the luxurious—and often tumultuous—lifestyle Combs led with Cassie Ventura.

After James’ testimony, the government is expected to call three witnesses today: Sharay Hayes, Regina Ventura and Jourdan Atkinson.

Hayes is an exotic dancer known as “The Punisher,” while Regina Ventura is Cassie’s mother and Atkinson once worked as a personal chef for Combs.

Last week, Cassie Ventura described how Combs directed her to hire male sex workers to take part in “freak offs,” often long and drug-fueled origies choreographed by the defendant who watched in the same room.
