What’s going on with Diddy’s trial as judge cancels court day?

Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty gets the latest on the case from BBC New York correspondent Nada Tawfik and expert analysis with criminal defence attorney Shaun Kent.

Court is cancelled on Wednesday because of a juror who has called in sick, delaying the prosecution’s end of evidence. Thursday is a public holiday in the US, so the trial of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs will resume on Friday.

In the past few days, another juror has been dismissed, lawyers have been told off by the judge after confidential discussions were leaked. Plus more text messages have been shown to jurors between Diddy and Cassie Ventura.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is on trial in New York, facing federal charges of sex trafficking, racketeering with conspiracy and transportation for prostitution. He denies all the charges.

The Diddy on Trial podcast is here to investigate the rumours, confront the theories, and give you the answers that you need.

We also want YOU to be part of the conversation. Have you any questions about the case? Heard a theory that doesn’t sit right with you? Get in touch now via WhatsApp: 0330 123 555 1.
