Jurors deliberating over five federal criminal charges against Sean “Diddy” Combs returned a note to the courtroom after only two hours, telling the court they were worried that one juror “cannot follow your honor’s instructions.”
Jurors at Diddy’s trial deliberated for about two hours before returning a note to the court.
“We have a juror, No. 25, who we are concerned cannot follow your honor’s instructions,” the note to Judge Arun Subramanian from the jury’s foreman reportedly read.
The note was also viewed by prosecutors, defense attorneys and Diddy after all parties returned to the courtroom.
Subramanian previously told the alternate jurors they could leave the courthouse, but asked them to remain reachable.
“I remind every juror of their duty to deliberate and their obligation to follow my instruction on the law,” Subramanian wrote in a response to the jury after receiving the note, instructing the jurors to “please continue deliberating,” according to a copy viewed by CNN.
