Diddy trial: Juror dismissed over ‘inconsistencies’

Rapper Sean “Diddy” combs at the sex smuggling hearing of a jury member, after giving inconsistent answers about where he lived.

During the jury selection, the jury stated in a survey in the Bronx region of New York. However, more recently, a court said that he had moved to his employee with his girlfriend in New Jersey.

On Friday, Judge Arun Subramanian said that the jury had found “various inconsistencies”, which he said he could propose the desire to be “deceptive” in an effort to enter the jury among his answers in court transcripts.

For the combs, the lawyers opposed the decision, saying that a black man from the jury “would be largely prejudiced by the dismissal of the jury.”

The jury member was replaced by an alternative jury member of Westchester, a 57 -year -old white father.

The 55 -year -old combs claimed that he was not guilty of sex smuggling, tribute and transportation charges to enter prostitution.

Possible dismissal of the jury member was discussed by lawyers last week.

The Chief Public Prosecutor Maurene Comey wanted a jury to be rejected because he described it as “lack of sincerity”.

The prosecutor’s office said that the jury has recently moved to New Jersey with his girlfriend and announced that the hearing remained there for most.

When he was questioned behind closed doors, the jury member said he stayed in an apartment during the week while working for four to five nights during the week and doing a jury during the week.

However, the jury said at an earlier stage that he lived in Bronx with his fiancé and daughter in a possible jury interview a few weeks ago.

At one point, the jury mentioned that he had lived with an aunt, but then he jumped him.

The judge said that the jury has found “various inconsistencies” among the answers in the court transcripts.

The judge said that the inconsistencies may indicate the desire to “shadow answers” and that the jury could point to a serious question about the “sincerity” and his “ability to follow instructions”.

The judge said that the court has six alternative jury members to protect the “integrity”. Judge, “According to this court’s opinion, the jury member needs to be removed.” He said.

Xavier Donaldson, one of Combs’s lawyers, objected to the judge’s tendency, saying that it was “very, very common” to act between New York and New Jersey.

He said he believes that the court “equalizes inconsistencies with a lie.”

Orum I believe you can watch the instructions, Don Donaldson said, the jury No. He said, “I can’t say that they are awake – all of them are awake.”

The main objection of the defense about the jury race, Donaldson said that the jury of the hearing was the most diverse in his three -year career.

“This part is important for me and my client, Don Donaldson said, if the court took the jury off, it would be a” backward step “.

Im I don’t usually play the racing card unless I have it, Don Donaldson said.

Combs’ legal team requested a mistake if the jury member was rejected.

On Monday, the judge said: “At this point, the jury has nothing to put the demons back into the bottle and repair their reliability.”

Eight men and four women were chosen for the jury with six alternatives. In the sixth week of the hearing.

The prosecution plans to finish the presentation this week and at this point, the defense will have the chance to call its witnesses.
