The highly anticipated trial of hip-hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs has reached an end.
The jury found Sean Combs not guilty of racketeering conspiracy, the most serious charge.
The jury found Combs guilty of transportation to engage in prostitution (in connection with his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura) and guilty of transportation to engage in prostitution (in connection with his ex-girlfriend who testified under the pseudonym "Jane").
He was found not guilty of both charges of sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion in connection with Ventura and "Jane."
Combs was accused of being the ringleader of an alleged enterprise that "abused, threatened and coerced women" into prolonged, drug-fueled sexual orgies with male prostitutes, which he called "freak-offs," and then threatened them into silence. Combs has said that all of the sex was consensual and that while his relationships sometimes involved domestic violence, he wasn't engaged in trafficking.
Combs' lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, said Combs was simply part of the swinger lifestyle and that he "vehemently denies the accusations made by the SDNY."
Judge Arun Subramanian said he will not take a partial verdict.
Once the lawyers work out the language, the judge will call the jurors into the courtroom and instruct them to keep deliberating.
Both sides asked the judge to do this, and the judge agreed.
No verdict is being read now.
It is not yet clear whether jurors will continue deliberating tonight or whether they will opt to go home for the day.
The jury has reached a partial verdict in the trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs.
The jury has reached a verdict on counts 2, 3, 4, 5, which are: Sex Trafficking by Force, Fraud, or Coercion (for one victim); Transportation to Engage in Prostitution (for one victim); Sex Trafficking by Force, Fraud, or Coercion (for a second victim); and Transportation to Engage in Prostitution (for a second victim).
The note said they are unable to reach a verdict on the racketeering conspiracy count.
At the consent of both sides, the judge said he plans to instruct the jury to continue deliberating. They are now debating the next steps.
According to the note from the jury, there are "unpersuadable opinions" on both sides related to the racketeering conspiracy count.
The jury has sent a new note to the judge.
This is their sixth note since deliberations began Monday, including the first note in which they selected a foreperson. The defense attorneys and prosecutors have reconvened in the courtroom.
About three hours after they asked for testimony from star witness Cassie Ventura and male escort Daniel Phillip, the jury in Sean Combs sex trafficking trial received the transcripts they requested.
The delay was caused in part because of a dispute between the lawyers about how much of the testimony to include.
Defense lawyers wanted to add more – including testimony about the Ventura’s $10 million settlement with the Los Angeles InterContinental Hotel – while prosecutors advocated to send a narrower portion of the transcript. After Judge Arun Subramanian suggested sending the jury the entirety of Ventura’s testimony – prompting Combs to visibly shake his head at his lawyer – defense lawyers relented and agreed to send a shorter portion of the transcript.
Overall, the testimony the jury requested focuses on three instances that prosecutors highlighted as examples of Combs’ alleged sex trafficking of Ventura.
First, the jury requested Ventura’s testimony about being assaulted by Combs at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles. She testified that she tried to leave a so-called "freak-off" sexual encounter after Combs gave her a black eye.
The jury also requested testimony given by Ventura and Phillip about an alleged instance in which Combs became violent with Ventura at a New York hotel during a "freak-off."
The last portion of testimony requested by the jury focused on a time when Ventura traveled with Combs overseas to attend the Cannes Film Festival in France.
