Overview

• The judge found a 41-year-old juror gave conflicting accounts of residing in the Bronx and New Jersey, indicating a “lack of candor.”
• Juror #6, a Black man, was replaced by a 57-year-old white male alternate from Westchester County, New York.
• Combs’s defense team argued the removal would erode racial balance and accused prosecutors of bias; Judge Subramanian overruled those objections.
• Prosecutors are expected to rest their case this week after presenting testimony from summary witnesses and sealed videos of alleged “freak-off” sex parties.
• The defense is now preparing to call witnesses, potentially including Combs himself, as the trial progresses toward closing arguments in July.
