• On the stand now: Eddy Garcia, who was a security officer at the InterContinental Hotel in March 2016, is testifying in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ criminal trial. • The trial so far: It’s the fourth week of testimony, and several witnesses have accused the music mogul of various forms of abuse. Over three days of testimony, “Mia,” a former assistant to Combs who used a pseudonym, described the abuse — verbal, physical and sexual — she said she experienced while working for him. • Federal charges: Combs has pleaded not guilty to charges that include racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. If convicted on all counts, he could face up to life in prison. • Editor’s Note: If you or someone you know is struggling with intimate partner violence, there are resources available, including the National Domestic Violence Hotline. Eddy Garcia, a former security officer at the InterContinental Hotel, confirmed he is testifying under an immunity order. Remember: On Monday, Garcia was brought into the courtroom outside the presence of the jury to invoke the Fifth Amendment, prompting Judge Arun Subramanian to sign an immunity order compelling Garcia to testify.
