Not a live stream that is available as a selection of the jury

When the selection of the jury negotiated on Monday for Sean “Diddy” Combs sex trade, potential jurors said that they had heard news about allegations against the hip-hop mogul, as a video of him had seen, and even heard a comedian about the baby oil authorities found in his apartments.

After simply following the previous media reporting on the case, she was not enough to be excused to receive the jury for the two-month legal proceedings against the 55-year indictment for conspiracy, sex trade and transport to prostitution. He did not know his guilty.

The process should be accessible to the public, but not streamed online.

This week, the US district judge Arun Subramanian in Manhattan asks potential jurors of one-time, a process that is known as voir dire, to be a committee of 12 jurors and six deputies that can be fair and impartial for both sides, despite severe media reporting on the case.

With Combs that wear dark glasses and wore a salt peaker, a juror said that they had seen a video in the news in which Combs supposedly attacked someone in a hotel. Subramanian decided that the juror, which was referred to as juror No. 5, was qualified for the body after assured the judge that they “entered an empty table in this courtroom”.

A potential juror was released last week after he wrote in a questionnaire in a screening questionnaire that a statue she had seen under a news heading of a woman on the floor in a hotel corridor, and combs near her “could be damn evidence”.

Last year, CNN surveillance material was from an incident of 2016, in which Combs attacked his former girlfriend, R&B singer Casandra Ventura, in the hallway of a hotel in Los Angeles. Combs apologized after the film material was broadcast.

The jury will be anonymous, which is often the case in top -class attempts in which the jury is exposed to threats or harassment when they get their identity. The goal of Subramanian in Voir Dire is to choose 45 potential jurors that are qualified for the service, and the lawyers on both sides will then have the opportunity to dismiss jurors without specifying a reason.

The prosecutors said that the incident depicted in the hotel surveillance video was proof of how combs use strength and threats over a period of two decades in order to force women to take part in days in days, drug -driven sexual achievements with male sex workers, which the Mogul called “freak offs”.

According to prosecutors, employees of the Business Empire of Combs helped the “Freak -Offs”, including the booking of hotel rooms, the purchase of controlled substances and other objects used in sex and supporting activity. During the raids of Combs' houses, the authorities found drugs and 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricants, the prosecutors said.

A prospectious juror said they had “liked” a video on social media in which a comedian joked about combs and baby oil.

“I remember how I liked it because I thought it was funny,” said the juror, who decided Subramanian that they were qualified after saying that they could put the video aside and be impartial.
