The jury in the high -ranking court proceedings of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs began its negotiations because the music tycoon faces several serious accusations that could see him spending the rest of his life behind bars.
On Monday, June 30, twelve jurors of men and four women were sent to begin to consider evidence presented during a lengthy seven-day court in New York. Combs confessed to the charge of trading in sex, blackmail and transport for prostitution.
If Combs found to be guilty of blackmail, they could get a life sentence. Trading fees have a minimum imprisonment in prison, while a prostitution crime has a maximum sentence of 10 years.
Before the commencement of Judge ARUN SUBRAMANIAN, he spent more than two hours of informing jurors about legal standards that he must use in the review of the accusation. He also ordered them to choose the chairman to help lead their discussions.
The closure of arguments from both sides wrapped last week and prosecutors depict Combs as a criminal network leader who used his glory and employees to organize sex trading. They described the pattern of abuse, which, as they claimed, was the central point of Combs’ lifestyle.
The defense, on the other hand, insisted that the actions described were consensual and part of what they called the “swingers lifestyle”, claimed that the party-known as “crazy off” were powered by drugs, but not criminal.
At the end of Monday’s proceedings, Judge Subramanian praised both legal teams and described his performance as “exceptional” and noted that he offered the case to younger lawyers meaningful roles.
He also complied with the request from Combs’ defender Marc Agnifil, which allowed the defendant to take the books back to his retention cell while waiting for the jury’s decision.
The negotiations are expected to continue in the next few days.
