Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing five charges related to sexual abuse and violence, with the jury of eight men and four women tasked with deciding his guilt. The case involves allegations that Combs used his business empire to carry out crimes against two women, including his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.
The government claims Combs’ actions were part of a criminal enterprise, while the defense argues they were private matters. The jury’s deliberations have been delayed due to a note from one juror expressing concern over following instructions, highlighting the complexity of the case.
Combs faces serious charges, including racketeering conspiracy, which carries a maximum life prison sentence if proven guilty. Live coverage will resume on Tuesday, with more updates from court and information on witness testimony in the case.
