This is a free article for<\/em> <\/em>Diddy on Trial<\/strong><\/em> <\/em>newsletter subscribers.<\/em> <\/em>Sign up<\/strong><\/em><\/a> <\/em>to get exclusive reporting and analysis throughout Sean Combs\u2019 federal trial.<\/em>
Today, the jurors in Diddy\u2019s trial said they\u2019d reached a verdict on four of the five criminal counts against the hip-hop mogul.
In a note to the court just after 4 p.m. ET, the jury said it had made up its mind on the prosecution\u2019s two counts of sex trafficking<\/em> and two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.<\/em> But on the remaining count \u2014 racketeering conspiracy<\/em> \u2014 the panel said it could not get to a unanimous decision because of \u201cunpersuadable\u201d opinions.
U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian <\/strong>asked the lawyers for suggestions about what to do next. The sides agreed they\u2019d like jurors to continue deliberating on the racketeering conspiracy charge. Ultimately, Subramanian instructed the jurors to keep talking<\/a>.
\u201cI remind you of the instructions I gave you yesterday,\u201d Subramanian said. \u201cYou should not hesitate to change an opinion when convinced, weigh your opinion dispassionately and follow my instructions on the law.\u201d
The upshot<\/strong>: The jurors will be back in the federal courthouse tomorrow for more closed-door deliberations on count 1. We\u2019ll keep you updated on all the key developments.
Diddy looked slightly on edge this morning, though he turned around to face family members, waving and making a prayer hands gesture. He chatted with his mother, Janice Combs<\/strong>, and blew kisses to her. \u201cRelax. It\u2019s going to be alright, Ma,\u201d Diddy could be heard telling her. He added: \u201cI like your shirt, your outfit.\u201d
When the jury\u2019s afternoon note came in, the mood in the courtroom became tense. Diddy\u2019s defense team formed a tight horseshoe-shaped huddle around him for over 10 minutes. Diddy looked dejected and stared at the floor, hands folded in his lap. He later appeared to be wiggling his fingers as one of his attorneys whispered into his ear. His face was stone cold.
The partial verdict is not a shocker to me \u2014 if the verdicts on counts 2 through 5 are guilty. Anything else on counts 2 through 5 would be a surprise. I expected a relatively quick verdict on all but racketeering conspiracy, in part because that count was always the most complicated. Even the verdict form for count 1 takes up more page space than any of the other counts.
Count 1 was always going to be tough for a jury. It\u2019s tough for the attorneys to understand, too.
