Sean ‘Diddy' Combs Jury Reaches Partial Verdict in Trial – Fails to Agree on Racketeering Charge
The music producer, 55, currently faces two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, one count of racketeering conspiracy and two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. However, while members of the jury informed the judge that they were able to agree on the sex trafficking and prostitution-related charges, they were unable to reach a verdict for the racketeering charge.
Judge Arun Subramanian has told the lawyers that he intends to ask the jury that they 'keep deliberating,' according to CNN, but acknowledged that may not help if there are 'unpersuadable opinions' on the first count.
Jurors informed Judge Subramanian that they're done for the day. Deliberations will resume tomorrow morning, Wednesday, July 2.
Combs pleaded not guilty to all charges. If found guilty on all counts, he could face life in prison.
A verdict has yet to be read, but a decision could be imminent.
As Star previously reported, the hip hop artist's high-profile trial began in May and has featured testimonies from more than 30 witnesses, including Diddy's ex, Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura, who accused him of physical abuse.

Too Much star Megan Stalter reveals she was terrified when Lena Dunham first messaged her
Too Much star Megan Stalter has admitted she was terrified when writer Lena Dunham first approached her to be part of the forthcoming Netflix show. The 10-episode romantic comedy series stars Stalter, who's best known for her role as the chaotic nepo baby Kayla in the Emmy-winning comedy show Hacks, alongside White Lotus actor Will Sharpe. Speaking to The Guardian, Stalter said that Dunham, who has won two Golden Globes for her 2012 series Girls, first messaged her on social media to discuss her being involved in the project. 'I was at home: this really bad apartment in Laurel Canyon [in the Hollywood Hills],' she said. 'The area is haunted, and it was actually a really scary building, and nothing ever got fixed because apparently in the lease I signed they didn't have to repair anything!' She continued: 'We were just about to start filming Hacks again. And there Lena was in my DMs [direct messages]...That's when I lost my mind. Panic set in. Stalter said she doesn't ordinarily 'fan girl over people' but with Dunham, it was different. 'She's a creative genius,' she said. 'I'm such a Girls nut, and always felt so connected to her.' She added: 'Anything she wanted me to do, I would obviously say yes.' Dunham co-wrote Too Much with her husband, British musician Luis Felber, and the series is loosely inspired by their relationship. 'I think obviously the seeds of it came from our life, and then once you begin writing, you find out who the characters are and you take a journey that moves away from it,' she said. 'I always like to write from a place that begins with the personal, because I think personal stories are universal – and then see what it has in store for me.' Too Much follows Jessica, portrayed by Stalter, a New York workaholic in her mid-30s who relocates to London after a painful break-up. There, she meets Felix, played by Sharpe, with whom she shares an unexpected connection. Too Much is available to stream on Netflix from Thursday, 10 July.

Responding agencies including the sheriff's office as well as Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach and Holly Hill police departments. No injuries were reported among law enforcement.
