Sean Combs Alternate Juror Speaks Out

An alternate juror in the Sean "Diddy" Combs trial said the hotel video of Combs beating Cassie did not play a big role in deliberations.

“I mean, it was a very bad video,” the 37-year-old man, who works at the United Nations in the counter-terrorism office, told CNN anchor Laura Coates on Thursday. Although the juror was not part of the group that deliberated, he was the first member of the jury pool, which included six alternates, who shared their thoughts after sitting through eight weeks of grueling testimony from 34 witnesses. Both prosecutors from the Southern District of New York and Combs’ high-powered defense team played the explicit videos, but the man said each side showed different tapes.
