On June 24 Combs' Geragos
crossed Agent Cerciello and
played videos, then Alexandra
Shapiro made a Rule 29 motion
previewing summation -
and appeal? In the

Later, the US
wrote in and dropped that
charge and others, saying it
"has removed instructions from
the charge relating to (i)
attempted kidnapping under
both California and New York
law, (ii) attempted arson
under California law, and
(iii) aiding and abetting sex
trafficking. The Government is
no longer planning to proceed
on these theories of liability
so instructions are no longer
necessary" - 8 page letter here
June 25 noon
charge conference moved back
to 2 pm.
