Overview

  • Combs remains in custody after Judge Arun Subramanian denied bail following his convictions on two prostitution counts and acquittals on trafficking and racketeering charges.
  • An anonymous juror said the two-day deliberations were governed solely by the evidence and the law, rejecting suggestions that Combs’ celebrity status affected the verdict.
  • The juror requested anonymity to avoid online harassment and labeled claims of bias based on fame as "highly insulting and belittling to the jury."
  • Judge Subramanian scheduled a remote hearing for July 8 to discuss sentencing logistics and proposed an October 3 date for Combs’ sentence.
  • The judge cited Combs’ domestic violence history and potential flight risk when refusing bail and ordered him to remain jailed pending his fall sentencing.
