Summary

Day 3 of jury selection in Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking trial was anything but ordinary. From a potential juror admitting to binge-watching Star Wars instead of completing his questionnaire, to another expressing bias after viewing the infamous Cassie video, the courtroom saw its share of drama. Adding to the spectacle, attorney Mark Geragos faced a stern reprimand from Judge Arun Subramanian for referring to the prosecution team as a "six-pack of white women" on a podcast. As the pool of qualified jurors narrows, the question remains: can a fair and impartial jury be seated amidst the chaos?

Hey everyone, welcome back to Drop Dead Serious. I'm Ashley Bannfield and it is day three of jury selection in Diddy's Trial.

0:14.0

And Sean Puffy Combs showed up wearing the exact same outfit he was wearing on day one and on day two. Yes, this clothing magnet, hip-hop

0:24.1

recording artist worth a billion dollars wore the same cruneck sweater and gray slacks three days in a row,

which must be a record for him given he was once the toast of the town at the Met Gala

0:34.2

just down the street in Manhattan. And maybe, maybe, Sean and his lawyers are on to something.

0:41.0

Because dressing down when you're facing federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges

0:44.9

isn't such a bad idea.

0:47.2

And reminder, one of his lawyers is married to Luigi Mangione's lawyer,

0:51.6

so I am guessing they're shopping in the same place.

But let's go back to day three. A jury pool is now officially in place, at least the ones who made it through round two.

1:03.5

Round one was the questionnaire, and plenty of people got booted just from their answers.

fair and impartial, no matter what your background and your experiences. But a lot of people

were shown the door there as well. Now, round three, the lawyers get to ask the questions next.

1:24.2

It's called voir dire. And the judge was able to clear the magic number for voir dire, 45.

1:31.0

That means 45 qualified prospective jurors are going to head through to the next round, voir dire.

1:37.6

It also means that we are just one step away from having a seated panel and opening statements,

1:44.0

which are locked in for Monday.
