About this listen

 On the first day of jury selection in Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking trial, held on May 5, 2025, in Manhattan, the courtroom witnessed a meticulous process aimed at assembling an impartial jury. Judge Arun Subramanian led the proceedings, questioning a diverse pool of potential jurors about their backgrounds, media exposure, and any personal experiences that might influence their judgment. Notably, three women disclosed past experiences of sexual assault but affirmed their ability to remain objective. Despite these revelations, none were dismissed from the jury pool at that time. The defense team, seeking to ensure a fair trial amid intense media scrutiny, enlisted the expertise of jury consultant Linda Moreno, known for her work in high-profile cases. Moreno's role involves analyzing juror behavior and backgrounds to assist in selecting individuals who can objectively assess the evidence presented.

The jury selection process also included inquiries about potential jurors' familiarity with a list of 190 celebrities, such as Michael B. Jordan and Kanye West, to identify any biases stemming from media consumption. Some jurors acknowledged viewing a widely circulated video allegedly showing Combs assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. One juror described the video as "damning," leading to her dismissal due to concerns about impartiality. Combs, who has pleaded not guilty to charges including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, appeared in court dressed in business-casual attire, presenting a composed demeanor. The trial is expected to last approximately eight weeks, with opening statements scheduled for May 12.
