From the New York Post: Sean “Diddy” Combs’ bombshell sex-trafficking trial hit a snag Monday just an hour after jury deliberations started — because one juror apparently couldn’t follow the judge’s instructions.
The panelists, eight men and four women, sent a note to Manhattan federal court Judge Arun Subramanian at around 12:40 p.m. expressing concerns about one of their own.
“We have a juror, ‘Juror 25,’ who we believe cannot follow your instructions,” the note said.
The juror in question is a 51-year-old man with a thick European accent. During jury selection, he revealed he lives in Manhattan with his partner and works as a scientist. He earned a PhD in molecular biology and neuroscience.
Judge Subramanian reportedly told the panel to continue deliberating for the time being.
