About this episode

Some attorneys say the case is decided before opening statements in a trial even begin. They believe the trial begins and ends during jury selection. 

 

Picking 12 people to decide what happens to Sean “Diddy” Combs. 

 

Some potential jurors come in - stating they’ve seen the hotel video of Diddy and Cassie. Others mention that they work at HBO - the same company that released a documentary on Diddy’s case. One juror mentions that they work at the very jail that Diddy is currently housed in. 

 

Diddy intently listens to the jurors getting questioned. At times - he shakes his head no, he smiles, he takes notes, and he jokes around with his famous attorneys. 

 

And sometimes…he looks back and stares at the members of the press. 

 

There are no cameras allowed in a federal courtroom. But we were there and we want to tell you what we saw.
