100:, and Combs immediately ended the interview. However, according to allegations, before being allowed to leave, Mills and his crew were assaulted, and a tape of the interview was taken from them and destroyed. As the story began to circulate local and national news, Combs canceled his "Platinum 2000" party scheduled for the Royal Oak Music Theater (in suburban Detroit), which was to take place on Friday, January 14, 2000. On March 22, 2001, Mills filed a lawsuit against Combs in Wayne County Circuit Court for assault, destruction of property, intentional infliction of emotional distress and a civil conspiracy. For Combs, this was only the latest of a string of legal troubles, immediately following a March 16 acquittal of gun possession and bribery charges stemming from a 1999 nightclub shooting at Club New York. Combs appeared in a Detroit courtroom Wednesday, February 18, 2004, to testify that he did not instruct his handlers to rough up Mills during the 1999 interview. "I knew it was something just about, as far as if I had any role or any feeling about murder," Combs said. When Combs was asked by his attorney what happened next, he responded, "I just remember ending the interview." The presiding Judge, Wendy Baxter, generated further controversy when she refused to admit a recording that was said to include a taped confession from Ron Gilyard, who was at the time the vice president of Diddy's 'Bad Boy' record label. According to Mills' website, Gilyard stated that Combs ordered him to "get that tape." The Wayne County jury ruled in favor of Combs, citing insufficient evidence. However, Mills appealed. In 2005, the appeals court decided that the recorded telephone conversation between Gilyard and Mills should have been allowed as evidence. However, the court ruled the error was harmless, and that it would not have provided sufficient evidence for the jury that Combs authorized an assault. Despite maintaining that he was a victim of judicial injustice, Mills says that he has moved on. "I have forgiven Mr. Combs." says Mills. "I am praying for him."
