A 17-page form with 31 questions.
On the first day of jury selection for Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex crimes trial, potential jurors received a detailed questionnaire. The embattled hip-hop figure faces a sharp fall from grace as he navigates a series of lawsuits and criminal charges related to rape and sexual assault.
The questionnaire delves into personal experiences with sexual assault, harassment, and domestic violence, as well as opinions on law enforcement and alternative sexual lifestyles. The trial is expected to be intense, with potential jurors being carefully vetted for bias and impartiality.
Combs' defense team aims to challenge the credibility of accusers who claim he forced them to participate in illicit activities. Prosecutors allege that Combs used his influence to coerce women into engaging in drug-fueled sexual performances.
As the jury selection process unfolds, potential jurors are being questioned about their knowledge of the case, their personal experiences, and any connections to the defendant or related individuals. The trial is set to begin with opening statements on May 12.
