A major shakeup hits the Sean Combs trial after the judge dismisses a Black male juror.
Judge Arun Subramanian says concerns emerged about the juror’s candor after he allegedly gave conflicting statements about his residence. Combs’ defense team vigorously objects to the removal of “Juror 6,” arguing it reduces the panel’s diversity. The dismissed juror is replaced by a 57-year-old alternate—a white accountant from Westchester.
Paralegal specialist Ananya Sankar completes cross-examination as jurors review text messages between Sean “Diddy” Combs and his staff about purchasing drugs. In one thread, Combs’ head of security, Faheem Muhammad, receives approval to buy thousands of dollars’ worth of narcotics.
Other messages between Chief of Staff Kristina Khorram and Muhammad show Combs once requested 15 MDMA pills, also known as molly or ecstasy.
