TMZ Reporetd – This morning as court proceedings began, the prosecution and defense teams began calling out their choices of individuals to strike. Diddy’s defense attorney Marc Agnifilo noted prosecutors struck 7 Black people, noting a “pattern.” AUSA Maurene Comey pointed out the prosecution’s reasons, including individuals’ issues with law enforcement, knowledge of the case, limited English — even one accused of having an “agenda.” The judge denied the defense’s challenge, determining the exclusions were not based on racial discrimination.
Potential jurors in Diddy‘s federal sex trafficking trial were grilled on topics like sex and violence before they were picked … because they’re being warned the case will include graphic content and some upsetting things they’re expected to handle like grown-ups.
Diddy is charged with 5 federal counts — 2 charges of sex trafficking, 2 charges of transportation to engage in prostitution, and a single count of racketeering conspiracy.
How do you think this trial will go?
