NEW YORK (AP) — A judge dismissed a juror in the sex trafficking trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs on Monday after concluding that his conflicting answers about where he lives might indicate he had an agenda or wanted to stay on the jury for a purpose.

A juror was dismissed in the Sean 'Diddy' Combs trial after he gave inconsistent answers about where he lived.

The defense had vehemently opposed the juror's dismissal. On Wednesday, June 11, Alexandra Shapiro, one of Combs' attorneys, called the government's attempt at removing the juror a "thinly veiled effort to dismiss a Black juror." On Friday, lawyer Xavier Donaldson argued dismissal would make the jury less diverse.
