Diddy Trial Delayed After Juror’s Medical Emergency
By Germania Rodriguez Poleo and Daniel Bates, DailyMail.com
The trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs experienced a significant delay on Wednesday when a juror suffered a vertigo episode while en route to the courthouse. Judge Arun Subramanian announced that testimony would be canceled for the day due to the juror’s absence, leaving uncertainty regarding the prosecution’s plan to rest their case by Friday.
Diddy, 55, has been incarcerated since his September arrest for charges related to sex trafficking and racketeering. His lawyers disclosed that they now anticipate needing only two days to present their defense, which some legal experts interpret as a positive sign for the rapper’s prospects.
The jury’s deliberations were further complicated by the official holiday on Thursday, as court proceedings were officially suspended. The prosecution was expected to call key witness Brendan Paul—alleged to be Diddy’s drug mule—on Friday, raising questions about how the delays would impact their timeline.
Notably, testimonies revealed Diddy’s attorneys presented text messages from Cassie Ventura that suggested a mutual understanding in their relationship dynamics, which contrasts with the prosecution’s portrayal of coercion.
Judge Subramanian also issued warnings regarding information leaks from the court, emphasizing that future violations could result in severe consequences.
In an unexpected show of support, Kanye West attended the trial on Friday, drawing attention with his arrival in an all-white denim outfit.
As the trial unfolds, all eyes remain on the proceedings as Diddy’s alleged activities and relationships continue to dominate headlines. The case’s developments will be closely monitored in the days to come, as both sides prepare for critical testimony that could determine the outcome for the famed music producer.
