Show Notes

Dr. Dawn Hughes, who's testified as an expert in R. Kelly's sex trafficking trial and the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard defamation proceedings, took the stand on Wednesday to lay out the psychological reasons a victim might stay in an abusive relationship. She was cross-examined by a new addition to the defense team -- this brings Combs's attorney total to nine. NBC News legal analyst Danny Cevallos joins Andrea and Chloe to talk about what the jury might think looking at Combs's very crowded defense table.
