The jurors in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sex-trafficking and racketeering trial have reached a partial verdict.
After deliberating for more than 10 hours, the members of the jury sent a note to the judge stating that they had reached a verdict on four out of five of the music mogul’s counts, but were unable to reach a verdict on Combs’ first count, racketeering conspiracy.
In the note, jury members indicated that a verdict had been reached on counts two, three, four, and five, but cited “unpersuadable opinions on both sides” as reason for disagreement on the first count.
Combs, who has pleaded not guilty, is charged with one count of racketeering conspiracy, two counts of sex trafficking, and two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. The racketeering charge jurors seem to be split on accuses Combs of running a criminal enterprise over the span of two decades.
It also carries the heaviest penalty, with Combs possibly facing a maximum sentence of life in prison if found guilty.
This is a breaking news story and will be updated accordingly.
