The Jury of Sean “Diddy “‘s sex trafficking in a plethora of apparently incriminating texts on abuses,” freak-offs “, drugs and” kryptonite “of the defendant of the former help of the founder of Bad Boy Records Kristina Khorram. However, it is a slightly different jury from the previous weeks of the New York trial.
In a widely awaited decision and above the defense opposition, judge Arun Subramanian confirmed this morning his decision of June 13 to reject juror No. 6 of the high-level trial. Immediately replaced by one of the substitutes, the exit of the juror in question will not delay the procedure at all.
The 55 -year -old combed was arrested in September 2024 in a New York hotel hall by a phalanx of police and federal officials for federal racketeering accusations, sex trafficking, transportation to engage in prostitution and even more. In trials in the hearing room of Manhattan Lower and by facing a testimony of her ex-girlfriend for a long time Cassie Ventura, other former lovers and women alleging mistreatment, rape and assaults, male escorts, former employees, the rapper winner of the Grammymes Kid Cudie and those responsible for the application of laws, Diddy are confronted with Life behind bars if they were guilty to a few men and four women jury.

The former ex-juror in question, a 41-year-old black man who works in an administrative role in a correctional establishment of the State, had started to give an alternate story where he really lived, if he was in New York or in New Jersey with a fiancée. “The changing responses and the inconsistency allow the court to care about deception and lies,” said the judge last week, promising to think about his decision during the weekend.
During the weekend, the defense wrote to the Subramanian judge without success asking once again a trial and claiming, as they have done several times before, the office of the American prosecutor for the South New York district has a racial bias. The government’s motion must be evaluated in the light of the whole history of this investigation and this prosecution, and not in isolation, “said defense lawyer Alexandra Ae Shapiro in the strongly -expurd correspondence of June 15.” Unfortunately, when it is examined in this context, it is impossible to believe that this motion is simply a good attempt to raise a valid question of the integrity of the juror rather than Valid at the male of the juror rather than an effort to take advantage of a valid advantage for the swear of the swear still of an effort to take advantage of an advantage for a male of jalouure rather than an effort to enjoy an advantage of the optimo-buunness of the juror, but of an effort to take the advantage of an advantage for a male of the jure of the jure and a male to an effort to benefit from an advantage of the optimo1. The jury.
Presence of the “good conclusion” of the Court of June 13 on the fate of juror No. 6, American lawyer Jay Clayton responded for his team of prosecution early this morning.
“The government respectfully writes in response to the letter of the defense filed earlier tonight,” wrote Clayton, is slightly mistaken in evenings. “Despite the court’s clear decision on the need to withdraw the juror again (expurgated), the defense tries again to throw the government’s request to remove the juror as racially motivated. As the court recognized it on Friday after the defense launched this baseless accusation, nothing could be further from the truth. The conferences relating to basic biographical information indicated a lack of frankness. »»
Almost the first thing on Monday, before the jury was brought, judge Subramanian told the accusation and the defense that he still suppressed juror No. 6.
The generally light crank judge also directly dealt with the issue of racial prejudices.
“The defense asked the court to base its decision on the race,” he told the courtroom, with fairly placid combing sitting nearby. “It would be inappropriate. Thus, juror 6 is excused and is replaced by the first alternative.”
Promising to face a question involving another juror later on Monday, judge Subramanian added juror No. 6: “As for the allegation of the prosecutor’s misconduct here, which invites the court to make a decision based on the race – and cannot be granted.”
With this, the reworked jury was brought and the testimony continued in the case of the accusation. The new juror n ° 6 is a 57 -year -old manufacturing architect who lives in the county of Westchester with his family. It is white.
Stressing the so-called “summary witnesses” at this stage, the authorities should end their presentation later this week. The defense estimated that his file could take up to four weeks, without any test to a foolproof, but his combs will testify.
At the start of the trial, the judge told the jurors that the trial would be completed the vacation on July 4. For all those who have a calendar, which is in pencil in the deadline is quite improbable at this stage.
