CBS News Correspondent and CBS Weekend anchor Jericka Duncan was given the task of covering the the trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs. Her assignment puts her at the courthouse and in the courtroom every day of the trial so she has a front row seat to all of the action happening inside and outside of the courtroom.

First, Jericka discusses the case with CBS Legal Analyst, Katrina Kaufman. Katrina shares what happened in the courtroom in week 4, how each side is managing their case and the strength of the testimony from the prosecution's witnesses.

Then Jericka speaks with clinical psychologist Dr. Thema Bryant about the complexities of trauma and its impact on testimony in abuse cases. She notes that individuals respond to trauma differently, which can affect their emotional display during testimony. The discussion also covers the challenges survivors face in reporting abuse, the influence of power dynamics, and the cultural narratives that often blame victims. Dr. Bryant highlights the importance of understanding these factors for jurors and society at large, as well as the potential for healing and redemption for both survivors and offenders.
