Diddy's Team Seeks Mistrial Again Over Testimony
Sean 'Diddy' Combs is facing sex trafficking and racketeering charges.
His lawyers have requested a mistrial for a second time, alleging the prosecution presented false testimony.
This involves a witness, Bryana Bongolan, who claimed Diddy put her on a balcony rail.
The defense says this is false because Diddy was in New York City at the time.
They have text messages to show Cassie learned about the incident after it happened.
The lawyers are trying to prevent an unfair conviction.
A judge will decide whether to grant the mistrial.
