The Diddy trial just wrapped the 11th day of witness testimony … and today we saw the defense move for a mistrial and get denied.
LAFD arson investigator Lance Jimenez was testifying about the Molotov cocktail incident involving Kid Cudi‘s Porsche — Cudi previously testified he thought it was done at Diddy’s behest — when the mistrial drama unfolded.
Jimenez told the jury fingerprints connected to an alleged trespassing at Kid Cudi’s house and the Molotov cocktail incident were destroyed by someone at LAPD who was not involved in the investigation … and that it wasn’t normal protocol.

Diddy’s defense team asked for a mistrial, claiming prosecutorial conduct … with defense attorney Alexandra Shapiro claiming prosecutors were “trying to plant the idea with these jurors that Mr. Combs had something to do with the destruction of these fingerprints. “
The judge rejected the request and told the jury to ignore the questions and testimony about fingerprints.
LAPD officer Christopher Ignacio also testified … telling the jury about responding to the break in at Kid Cudi’s house in December 2011. The male escort “The Punisher” apologized to Cassie for his involvement in freak-offs with her and Diddy… he previously testified about the trio’s sexual encounters. He ran the license plate and the registration tied back to Diddy’s Bad Boy Productions Inc.
Cudi and former Diddy employee Capricorn Clark previously testified Diddy broke in to Kid Cudi’s house in a jealous rage after finding out Cudi was dating Cassie.
Outside of court, Cassie gave birth to her third child with husband Alex Fine … a couple weeks after taking the witness stand with a big baby bump.
