The lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs on suspicion of serious sexual and violent crimes has been running since the beginning of May. As numerous media unanimously report, the charges of the New York public prosecutor are as follows: conspiracy for organized crime, double human trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation (“sex traffic”) and promotion to the purpose of prostitution. He is also accused of kidnapping people, putting them under drugs and forced to act for sexual acts, sometimes using firearms and threatening violence.
Now a jury has been deducted from the case. The judge decided against the 41-year-old on the jury because, according to information from “Rolling Stone” Us, he made “contradictory” statements and would no longer be credible.
That’s what the “inconsistent statement” of the jury is about
The man had given various information in terms of his place of residence. So he only stated that he would live in the Bronx, but then reported during the trial of moving to New Jersey at one point. A “contradiction” that was not understandable for the judge. The 41-year-old said that his change of residence was “possibly not permanent”, his post would still be sent to his Bronx address and his driver’s license would also have this information.
What the judge is now concerned
Arun Subramanian, who is present as a judge in the trial, released the man from the jury because he was concerned that he would “disguise or try to provide an explanation to stay on the jury”.
According to “CNN”, the former jury member had given the first survey to be a fan of the hipop of the 90s, but so far not to know anything about the Diddy case. Now even these statements are in question.
Diddy’s lawyer team not happy about the jury change
For Sean “Diddy” Combs’ team, the dismissal of the jury does not feel right, according to the US “Rolling Stone”, they would see the dismissal of the black man as “step back”. According to the loud letter, they advocate a misconception if the 41-year-old would actually not be on site on the court days. The statement of the lawyer’s team: “The fairness of the process depends in part on the fact that jury with a background similar to Mr. Combs share their view of the evidence.”
In this regard, the judge told “CNN” that he would find it “inappropriate” to evaluate the man said in relation to his ethnicity.
New jury already found
The replacement is already there: A 57-year-old architect will now take a seat as a jury on the jury, according to the info.
More about the case
If Combs is spoken guilty about sex trade, he threatens a minimum penalty of 15 years in prison, and in the event of human trafficking for prostitution, the maximum sentence is ten years.
However, the 55-year-old rapper does not advocate guilty.
