The jury in Sean Diddy Combs' sex trafficking trial has reached a unanimous verdict on four of five charges after two days of deliberation. Judge Arun Subramanian instructed them to continue deliberating on the last charge, as it was premature to abandon efforts for a unanimous decision. If found guilty of racketeering, Combs could face life imprisonment. Testimony from former girlfriends indicated abuse, while the defense maintained that the sexual encounters were consensual. Partial verdicts allow the judicial process to advance despite a deadlock on some charges.
