Jury selection kicks off today for Bad Boy Entertainment CEO, Sean 'Diddy' Combs' RICO trial...
From NPR
Jury selection for the trial of Sean 'Diddy' Combs will begin in New York City today. The media mogul, who's been in custody since his arrest last September, faces criminal charges for six trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transporting to engage in prxstitution. Combs has pleaded not guilty on all charges.
The selection process is expected to last a week, with opening statements slated for May 12. Last month, prosecutors filed a superseding indictment in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York adding two additional counts to the existing charges. Combs' attorneys requested for the trial to be delayed by two months, citing a need for additional time to respond to the new indictment, but the request was denied by Judge Arun Subramanian.
The federal government is accusing Combs of using his power across the music, fashion and entertainment industries to run a criminal organization that facilitated and concealed six crimes dating back more than a decade. This includes six trafficking, which they claim occurred when Combs would lure women into his orbit — often under the pretense of a romantic relationship — and would then coerce them into commercial six acts.
