Why jury selection in Sean 'Diddy' Combs' trial will be more challenging than your average case
The challenge: Finding a jury that will listen to the facts and, to the best of their ability, render a fair verdict for a man who is a defendant, not a man known to many as Diddy.
CNN — Sean Combs, a music mogul who once topped the charts before experiencing his headline-grabbing fall, will be present in a New York court on Monday to watch as attorneys attempt to select a jury of his peers who will decide his fate amid a slew of federal charges. If convicted on all counts, he could face life in prison.Combs, who has has been in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn since his September 2024 arrest, has pleaded not guilty to all the charges.CNN previously reported that the pool of prospective jurors could be questioned on topics that include their views on sex with multiple partners, drugs and hip-hop. They may also be asked their feelings, beliefs or experiences related to intimate partner violence, cheating in a relationship, prostitution, the distribution of illegal drugs and the music industry, according to court filings reviewed by CNN.Headlines about the case have at times focused on its more lurid details, like the roughly 1,000 bottles of baby oil and personal lubricant seized from his home during a March 2024 search conducted by federal authorities.
