Attorneys representing Sean 'Diddy' Combs have filed a motion requesting a judge to permit extensive questioning of prospective jurors in his upcoming federal trial. The trial centers around allegations of sex trafficking and racketeering. The legal team seeks to understand potential jurors' perspectives on sensitive topics such as drug and alcohol abuse, sex, and violence.
The defense argues that these topics are central to the case and understanding jurors' pre-existing biases is crucial for selecting a fair and impartial jury. Specific questions would aim to gauge potential jurors' comfort levels and preconceived notions related to these issues.
Legal experts suggest this is a common tactic in high-profile cases where the subject matter could evoke strong emotional responses from jurors. The judge is expected to rule on the motion in the coming weeks, before jury selection begins.
