The latest on the Sean ‘Diddy' Combs trial
Update: Date: 6 min ago Title: The judge is on the bench Content: Judge Arun Subramanian is on the bench, and testimony is expected to resume soon. Update: Date: 23 min ago Title: How Wednesday's delay could impact the trial timeline Content: The trial of Sean 'Diddy' Combs was adjourned for the day Wednesday after one of the jurors called in sick — a move that potentially throws a major wrench in the scheduling of the trial. Judge Arun Subramanian said he believes the juror's absence was a one-day issue but, regardless, it does throw off the court's tight schedule. Subramanian has said since the start of the trial that he wants this to be done by July 4. Prosecutors were expected to rest their case today, but with Wednesday's delay, they likely won't rest until sometime on Monday. Remember: Court was closed Thursday for the Juneteenth holiday, and today is a pre-scheduled half-day, with court running from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. ET. The defense has said they expect to use between two and five trial days to make their case, and closing arguments will take additional time. All of those steps need to happen before the jury begins deliberating — which makes for a tight schedule if we're aiming for a verdict before July 4.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs trial: Former assistant Brendan Paul to testify
What to know about the trial The fate of a juror who might have spoken improperly about the case with a former colleague was left unresolved when Judge Arun Subramanian left the bench yesterday.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs' former assistant Brendan Paul is expected to take the witness stand today. Combs faces five criminal counts: one count of racketeering conspiracy; two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. Combs has vociferously denied the allegations against him. This live briefing may include graphic descriptions of sexual violence.

Diddy Trial Juror Dismissed by Judge Over Residency Issue
Diddy's federal jury in NYC is bringing in an alternate ... because a juror has just been dismissed by the judge after hearing more than three weeks of testimony. Judge Arun Subramanian dismissed Juror Number 6 Monday morning after hearing arguments from the prosecution and the defense regarding where the juror lives. While the jury was out of the room Friday, the judge explained he went back to the voir dire portion of the trial and found this juror had said at different times that he lives in the Bronx, at other times in New Jersey. The judge added the court has alternate jurors for a reason -- and, there's no point in keeping one around with so many question marks attached. The alternate juror replacing Number 6 is a 57-year-old Westchester County resident. Friday, Diddy's attorney Xavier Donaldson stood up and said the court was taking a big step backward by getting rid of a juror of color ... asking the judge to bring him back into the court to give him the chance to explain. During the jury selection phase, Juror No. 6 revealed he was a 41-year-old Black Hispanic man who works for the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision. One of the main reasons the defense said they didn't want him dismissed is because he's one of the few Black jurors. He's the head accountant clerk at Edgecombe Correctional Facility -- a prison in Upper Manhattan. He told the court he processes payroll for corrections guards. Juror No. 6 had his fair share of legal issues before the trial ... suing and later settling with the Port Authority after allegedly injuring his back on an escalator. He also said he was arrested for insurance fraud related to a doctor's appointment after a car accident. Despite living in the Bronx, Juror No. 6 apparently isn't a New York Yankees fan ... telling the court he roots for the New York Mets instead. He's a fan of reggaeton music and '90s hip hop.
