Day two of jury selection has come to a close in the Sean Diddy Combs trial, and the rapper isn’t wasting any time. He is allegedly doing everything possible to connect and charm all potential jurors in hopes of winning them over. Sean Diddy Combs is making every attempt to ensure things go his way in court when his May 12th trial begins. That includes a desperate attempt to convince the jury to lean his way. The Daily Mail reports Diddy is showing as much of a personal connection as he can get away with in court.
The shamed music mogul is allegedly showing his approval for specific jurors. Combs is reportedly nodding his head up and down. Or shaking it left and right as a way of showing his opinion on each person.
“Literally, plotting something in front of the Judge’s face. Lock him up for life,” one commenter writes. ” He is a very manipulative man. All that nodding looked to be indicating a juror who could be paid to acquit,” adds another.
Sean Diddy Combs reportedly nodded in a show of compassion as a female black juror spoke about how her sister had become addicted to crack in the 1980s or 90s. The female was permitted to move on to the next stage after claiming she could put it out of her head while deliberating Diddy’s fate. The alleged sneaky correspondence reportedly continued throughout the day, with more nodding from Diddy throughout the selection.
Reality Begins To Take Toll On Sean Diddy Combs
It seems that the reality of his upcoming case and potential fate are weighing heavily on his mind. His anxiety will likely increase as the start of his trial arrives despite his persistent claims of innocence.
On Monday, Radar Online reported that Diddy spoke with Judge Arun Subramanian, sharing some of his honest feelings. While trying to maintain his composure, Combs admitted to feeling a ‘little nervous’ before asking for a two-minute bathroom break.
It will soon be game on for Sean Diddy Combs and his legal team. Though, be prepared for his lawyers to have a few tricks up their sleeves as the trial proceeds. They are reportedly covering all their bases and are prepared to do whatever it takes to prove Combs’ innocence.
Opening statements are set to begin on Monday, May 12, as lawyers for both sides prepare to lay out their case in court. The rapper is facing serious federal charges, which include racketeering, conspiracy, and sex trafficking. If convicted, Sean Diddy Combs could face life in prison.
If things start to go south, Diddy’s legal team has a backup plan. They are allegedly prepared to bring in a medical professional to testify on Combs’ behalf. If necessary, the MD would reveal the music mogul was not in the right frame of mind when the alleged crimes took place.
The next several weeks will tell how this all plays out for Diddy. The upcoming trial is set to become one of the biggest celebrity trials since O.J. Simpson. Look for things to heat up in the courtroom for Sean Diddy Combs and his legal team next week.
