by Alice Ibarra in Trial

The jury in Sean "Diddy" Combs's federal criminal trial is deliberating for a second day, having already spent over 10 hours reviewing the evidence. They've sent multiple notes to the judge, requesting transcripts of key testimonies, most notably that of Cassie Ventura regarding a 2016 incident at the InterContinental hotel and her interactions with male revue manager Daniel Phillip. Phillip's testimony detailed alleged instances of being paid for sex with Ventura, with Combs allegedly present and even recording some encounters. Phillip also testified to witnessing Combs assaulting Ventura. The jury also requested transcripts related to the alleged distribution of controlled substances. Combs faces five counts: one count of racketeering conspiracy and two counts each of sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. A guilty verdict on the most serious charges could result in a life sentence. The judge has responded to some of the jury's requests, providing transcripts of specific testimony sections, while others are still under review. The trial continues, with Combs's family present in the courtroom.
