Sean

The jury is sworn in and being given their instructions. 

The 12 jury members and six alternates have been selected and the jury is seated. 

The judge enters the courtroom and the final proceedings start before the jury is seated and sworn in.

Combs entered the courtroom at around 8:51 a.m. wearing a sweater (beige or light gray) over a collared shirt and what appears to be khaki pants. 

His mother and six children were seated in the second row behind the defense. He gave them a thumbs up, made a heart shape with his hands and blew a kiss. The kids smiled and pumped their fists. 

Combs put on glasses and asked for more water. 

Combs rejected a plea deal that was offered in the final pre-trial hearing, after he pleaded not guilty to all counts, including transportation to engage in prostitution and sex trafficking. 

During the pre-trial hearing on May 1, Judge Arun Subramanian asked Combs to confirm he was of sound mind and not on any drugs. He then asked Combs if he rejected the prosecution’s offer. 

“Yes, I do,” Combs said. 

Details of what was offered in the potential plea deal were not given.

Opening statements in the Sean “Diddy” Combs federal sex trafficking and racketeering are expected to start today at the federal courthouse in Lower Manhattan. 

First, the jury must be sworn in. 

Trial proceedings are expected to go from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily for the first week, then 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily the following weeks. 

The trial is expected to last eight to 10 weeks.

Per federal rules, photos and videos from inside court are not allowed, so there is no broadcast or livestream of Combs’ trial.

Only courtroom sketches are permitted.
