Final Jury Selection For Sean “Diddy” Combs’ Sex-Trafficking Trial Delayed Again; Vital Prosecution Witness Still AWOL


Diddy's fate will be in the hands of 12 jurors who will decide if he committed a series of sex crimes over decades as the feds may have lost one of their top witnesses

In what was intended to be a final pre-trial hearing to wrap up any loose end in the case that could see Combs behind bars for life if found guilty, Judge Arun Subramanian nudged solidifying the jury until Monday morning. Pushed by Combs’ Marc Agnifilo- and Teny Geragos-led defense team, with their client in the courtroom today, the argument is that it is better to leave objections to first thing next week to counter any potential jurors getting “cold feet” over the weekend and more seriously hampering the start of the trial. With the Bad Boy Records founder facing life in prison if found guilty, Judge Subramanian has set opening statements to start around 9:30 am ET in his Manhattan courtroom.
