On December 16,
in the run-up to the December
18 conference, letter on
Patreon here.
On January 14
Combs' lawyers filed a motion
about the protective order,
arguing that "attorney
eyes only" videos in the case
they say prove the prosecution
is "sexist and puritanical"
and that it is consensual - 7
page letter on Patreon here
On January 28 the
US opposed Combs' motion,
8-page letter on Patreon here.
On January 29
Judge Subramanian denied
Combs' motion: "Defendant’s
motion to amend the protective
order is DENIED without
prejudice. While the
Government objects to handing
the videos over, they provide
several options for defendant
to consider that would permit
the defense to view the
videos, access the information
they are looking for, and even
allow them to manipulate the
videos as they see fit. To the
extent these options are
insufficient-" Order on
