The jury selection process for Sean "Diddy" Combs' criminal trial is underway, with as many as 150 potential jurors being questioned in a Manhattan courtroom. Judge Arun Subramanian, the prosecution, and the defense are working to determine the qualification of each juror.
Prospective jurors mentioned having heard news about allegations against Combs, seen a video of him allegedly assaulting a woman, and even jokes referencing him. Combs, once a powerful figure in the music industry, is now facing federal sex crimes charges to which he has pleaded not guilty.
As jury selection progresses, various jurors have been excused, with some revealing personal experiences related to sexual assault. The defense team is also making efforts to ensure a fair jury selection process.
Combs, who could face life imprisonment if convicted, arrived in court from a federal lockup in Brooklyn and has been actively participating in the ongoing trial proceedings.
Stay updated with the latest developments in Diddy's trial as the legal teams prepare to present their cases and the jury selection process continues.
