On the third day of jury selection in Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking trial, the court progressed toward finalizing a pool of 45 qualified jurors. Judge Arun Subramanian conducted individual and group questioning, focusing on potential biases and jurors' ability to remain impartial despite extensive media coverage. Notably, several prospective jurors acknowledged familiarity with a 2016 surveillance video allegedly showing Combs assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. While some jurors claimed they could remain unbiased, others were dismissed due to concerns about their impartiality. The court aims to seat 12 jurors and six alternates, with opening statements scheduled for May 12 .


The day's proceedings also included unexpected moments. One potential juror revealed he worked at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where Combs is currently held, leading to his dismissal. Another juror admitted to reposting a meme about Combs on social media, explaining he was "doomscrolling" at the time. Despite these revelations, the court completed the initial qualification phase, setting the stage for peremptory challenges to be exercised on Friday. Combs, who has been in custody since September 2024, faces charges including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for purposes of prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty and could face life in prison if convicted .
