Diddy Jury Reaches Partial Verdict, But Decision a Mystery as Members Deadlock on RICO Charge

On the Diddy verdict, the jury reached a partial decision but have deadlocked on the RICO charge. The judge told them to keep deliberating.

Jurors have reached a verdict on the sex-trafficking and prostitution charges against Sean “Diddy” Combs, but have not yet announced the decision as they remain deadlocked on the disgraced rap mogul’s racketeering count. The jury deliberated for two days before sending a note on Tuesday evening (July 1) saying they’d decided a partial verdict but that there were members with “unpersuadable opinions on both sides” as to whether Combs ran a criminal enterprise, according to CNN. The RICO charge carries zero to 20 years, although the maximum gets raised to life in prison if sex trafficking is determined to be one of his underlying crimes.
