Eight unsealed warrants are giving new insights into the investigation of Sade Robinson’s murder. Newly released surveillance images show Sade meeting Anderson at the Twisted Fisherman for their date. The warrants also reveal police are reviewing employment records and surveillance from Victor’s nightclub. Anderson reportedly worked at Victor’s, a club that one of Sade’s coworkers says they frequented. Investigators are trying to determine how Sade met Maxwell Anderson.

Also, a friend of Anderson’s is now working with law enforcement as a confidential informant. The CI tells investigators in early March, Anderson spoke of a plan to lure Sade Robinson to his home, then force her into the basement at gunpoint, where he would shoot her, then dismember her body and scatter the remains. The CI says Anderson showed him the basement, where Anderson had taped plastic paint protectors to the walls and floor. The CI says there were three saws in the prepped basement.

Prosecutors seek to remove one of the jurors — Juror No. 6 — who Sean "Diddy" Combs' defense lawyers claim is among the panel’s Black members. It’s not clear what’s behind the prosecution’s request, though it has cited a "lack of candor." " Maurene Comey, one of the prosecutors, says, "We did not want to do this. We were compelled to do that."

Combs ex-girlfriend identified by pseudonym "Jane" returns for her sixth day on the stand. Combs' defense has attacked Jane “up and down” trying to show she agreed to sex acts, by using Combs messages as alleged proof, according to prosecutors.

Prosecutors tell Judge Arun Subramanian the government expects to rest its case no later than a week from Friday and perhaps as early as Wednesday next week. One of the prosecutors, Maurene Comey, also states they will condense their case and soon will inform the court and defense which witnesses they will remove.

Sean "Diddy" Combs ex "Jane" continued her graphic testimony on the stand...dropping more sex bombshells in court. She revealed he called her "Crack Pipe," on the stand - a nickname that underscored his addiction to her & their salacious sexual encounters.

However, it was also revealed how "Jane" would weaponize their "hotel nights" to get what she wanted out of the rap mogul.

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ attorneys cross-examined his ex-girlfriend, “Jane,” who testified that the rapper’s sexual preferences may stem from bi-curiosity.

Jane, testifying under a pseudonym, told jurors she still loves Combs, who continues to pay her rent after giving her approximately $150,000 during their three-year relationship.

As Jane recalled fond memories—giving Combs foot massages and watching hours of Dateline—the rapper smiled and nodded from the defense table.

Jane said the word “cuckold” described what she and Combs engaged in sexually. She explained that a cuck gets “pleasure seeing his woman receive pleasure from the other man” and may harbor bi-curiosity that he explores indirectly through his partner. Jane also said Combs referred to himself, her, and a male escort known as “Paul” by the names of NBA legends.

According to her, she was Kobe Bryant, Paul was Shaquille O’Neal, and Combs called himself Michael Jordan. She said the trio referred to themselves as the “trifecta.”

On the stand, Jane testified that Combs coerced her into sex acts and threatened to stop paying her rent if she refused. She also said Combs threatened to send sexually explicit videos of her to her son’s father.

Combs’ attorneys deny he coerced Jane or Cassie Ventura into sex.
