On Day 4 of Diddy's Trial Defense takes over with an intense and focused cross examination of Diddy's ex, Cassie Ventura. The defense brings in text messages and plays on emotion, hinting that Cassie and Diddy both shared love and jealousy. 

Welcome to this special episode of Surviving the Survivor, live from NYC, where host Joel Waldman is sitting inside the federal courthouse and will bring us up to date on what's going on in court today. Cameras are not allowed in federal courtrooms. Sean "Diddy" Combs is on trial for charges of sexually assaulting, trafficking and exploiting women over multiple decades. 

Sean "Diddy" Combs' ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura spent two days testifying, revealing graphic details of alleged abuse and sex acts. Her testimony comes after jurors heard from a hotel security manager about the infamous video of Combs beating her in 2016. Prosecutors say this is just the tip of the iceberg but today the defense is digging deeper into Cassie's story and trying to prove that this was love, jealousy and dv--but not case of racketeering or trafficking.

Charlie Adelson, already convicted in the Dan Markel murder and serving life, has filed a 91-page appeal. We break down what it reveals — and what it could mean for Donna, Wendi, and Harvey Adelson. 

#STSNation, 

Welcome to Surviving the Survivor, the show that brings you the very #BestGuests in all of #TrueCrime on trending criminal cases and this story is one that is close to our hearts. 

It’s the case that started it all for STS — the shocking murder-for-hire of FSU law professor Dan Markel. And we've been covering #JusticeforDanMarkel for a while now... 

Convicted killer Charlie Adelson has filed a 91-page appeal seeking to overturn his life sentence — even as his mother, Donna Adelson, awaits trial and a new investigation is unfolding behind the scenes. Charlie Adelson is the brother of Wendi Adelson, Dan Markel's ex-wife, who was in the middle of a custody battle when Dan Markel was shot and killed after pulling into the driveway of his Tallahassee, Florida home in 2014. Charlie Adelson was convicted of hiring Latin King gang members to take out his ex brother-in-law, Dan Markel.
