Jury selection resumed for a second day in the sex trafficking trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs as a federal judge and lawyers worked Tuesday to find a dozen New Yorkers who believe they can be fair despite any opinions they may have developed about the music mogul. Several who were eliminated from the jury pool had seen or heard media reports related to the case, including some who said they saw a video in which Combs was hitting and kicking one of his accusers in a Los Angeles hotel hallway in 2016. Nineteen were chosen on Monday and six more by noon Tuesday.Opening statements are scheduled to be presented on March 12 for a trial projected to last up to two months.Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to a five-count indictment charging him with leading a racketeering conspiracy from 2004 to 2024 that resulted in various crimes, including kidnapping, arson, bribery and sex trafficking.The Bad Boy Records founder has been held without bail since his arrest at a Manhattan hotel last September.
