A juror in the Sean “Diddy” Combs sex trafficking trial is expected to be dismissed from the case on Monday over inconsistencies about where he lives
A juror in the Sean “Diddy” Combs sex trafficking trial is expected to be dismissed from the case on Monday over inconsistencies about where he lives.
The issue came up this week, five weeks into the trial, during a conversation Juror No. 6 had with the jury department, indicating he had moved to New Jersey a few weeks ago to live with his girlfriend.
That conversation sparked another discussion among legal counsels, who pressed for more information. Jurors in the case must live in New York state and district courts have broad discretion to replace a juror for any violation.
The juror, a 41-year-old Black male who works in communications at a correctional facility, told court officials he was living in a New York apartment during the work week.
His story later changed to him living with his daughter and fiancée in the Bronx. At some point, he told court officials he lived with his aunt in the Bronx.
