Sean Diddy Combs Faces Day 2 of Jury Selection: Sean “Diddy” Combs returned to a Manhattan federal courtroom Wednesday for the second day of jury selection in his explosive sex trafficking and racketeering trial. The music mogul, dressed in a sweater over a white collared shirt with gray slacks, hugged his attorneys as proceedings began.
Nineteen potential jurors from Tuesday’s pool remain under consideration, with dozens more slated for questioning today. The process revealed challenges in seating an impartial jury, as multiple candidates acknowledged seeing viral video evidence of Combs assaulting ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in a 2016 hotel incident.
One juror was dismissed after calling the footage “damning evidence,” while another admitted liking social media posts joking about law enforcement finding “large amounts of baby oil” at Combs’ homes.
