Diddy Wants Mistrial After Black Juror Dismissed Over Residency Questions
The heat in Diddy’s courtroom saga just spiked. After over three weeks of hearing testimony, Juror No. 6—a 41-year-old Black Hispanic corrections employee—was removed from the jury due to inconsistencies about whether he lived in the Bronx or New Jersey. Judge Arun Subramanian made the call Monday morning, swapping him out for a white alternate from Westchester County.
Diddy’s team is calling foul, accusing the prosecution of racial bias. In a fiery letter, they said this isn’t about a technicality—it’s about eliminating Black male voices from the jury. They slammed the dismissal as unnecessary, especially since the judge himself had earlier said the issue was irrelevant to the juror’s performance.
This is the third time Diddy’s team has asked for a mistrial, but this latest move might carry the most weight. With only five Black jurors reported among the twelve, Diddy’s defense says this dismissal could further discourage jury participation from people of color. It’s not just a legal battle now—it’s a fight over fairness.
