Sean "Diddy" Combs's sex-trafficking trial is set to start jury selection on May 5 in Manhattan federal court, where dozens of potential jurors will be examined. These jurors are part of a pool of 600 individuals who filled out questionnaires assessing their knowledge and impartiality regarding Combs and the charges against him. The questioning process aims to eliminate biases before the trial commences, similar to high-profile cases such as that of Ghislaine Maxwell. Ultimately, 12 jurors and six alternates will be selected to participate in the trial.
Potential jurors were likely asked on their questionnaires whether they had "read, seen, or heard anything about Mr. Combs or the criminal charges brought against Mr. Combs."
Judge Arun Subramanian will ultimately make the final call on if someone should be excused from this high-profile trial.
