So no, I will not give you ONE RED PENNY!

Thats the legal practice.

He is not mentioned, referenced, or implicated in any way in the criminal investigation of Mr. Combs.

The men allegedly took turns assaulting Doe while the female celebrity watched.

The alleged encounter only ended when the woman claimed to have fought back and punched Combs in the neck.
