Summary
The federal criminal trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs is finally underway in Manhattan—and the first three days in court have already delivered enough drama to fill a season of courtroom television. In this video, we break down the critical events that took place between May 5 and May 7, 2025, as Diddy’s legal team and federal prosecutors battled over jury selection, controversial commentary, and behind-the-scenes strategy in one of the most high-profile sex trafficking and racketeering trials in recent memory.
Judge Arun Subramanian kicked off proceedings with a tense, slow-moving jury selection process, aiming to build a pool of 45 impartial jurors. But the process was anything but routine. One prospective juror had to be dismissed due to their ties to HBO—a network that recently aired a documentary featuring allegations against Combs. Meanwhile, defense advisor Mark Geragos came under fire after making inflammatory public comments about the prosecution team, prompting a rare courtroom rebuke. And perhaps most critically, a key prosecution witness may now be unavailable to testify, raising early questions about the stability of the government's case.
As delays mounted and the court struggled to finalize a panel, the judge made the strategic decision to postpone seating the final jury until Friday, to prevent juror attrition and keep the trial on schedule. With an anonymous jury now nearly finalized and opening statements set for Monday, May 12, the stage is set for one of the most explosive courtroom battles of the decade.
This is the inside story of what really happened during the first three days of Diddy's federal trial—told with zero speculation, all facts, and the forensic clarity true crime fans demand.
