    Diddy Asks Judge For Mistrial If Juror is Dismissed, Accuses Prosecution of Racial Bias

    Diddy Trial
    If You Dismiss That Black Juror, I Want A Mistrial!!!

    Diddy‘s accusing the prosecutors in his case of trying to get rid of a Black juror … and, he says he wants a mistrial if the judge goes through with the dismissal.

    The rapper’s legal team filed a letter to Judge Arun Subramanian Sunday evening … claiming that — while the Court might believe the prosecution’s questions about a juror’s inconsistent answers during voir dire are sincere — the government is just finding pretense to dismiss a juror because of their race.

    Diddy’s team says by putting the dismissal attempt into the context of the overarching proceedings, it’s easy to see that they’re trying “to take advantage of an opportunity to strike yet another black male from the jury.”


    The juror’s inconsistent answers about their residency during voir dire, Diddy’s team says, doesn’t necessarily mean they’re not fit to serve on an a jury … and, they cite Judge Subramanian’s own words from Friday when he said “the subject matter of what was being addressed is so far afield from the juror’s performance.”

    However, Diddy’s team adds, the judge changed his mind by the afternoon … signaling his intent to dismiss the juror without further inquiry — and, Diddy’s side feels there’s no justification for it.

    By dismissing a juror of color, Diddy argues, the people of color will be less likely to serve on a jury in the future.

    Diddy’s side also lays out a series of alleged abuses by the government during their investigation into him … claiming law enforcement used excessive force during the raids on his properties and investigators steadily leaked “false and prejudicial” information to the public.

    His demand is clear … Diddy says that if the Court insists on dismissing this one particular juror, then he believes he deserves a mistrial.

    This is the third time Diddy has asked for a mistrial in this case … and, many of the arguments here were made by his attorney, Xavier Donaldson, in court on Friday. According to multiple reports, four of the jurors are white, eight are not. The Daily Mail reports five of the jurors are Black.

    At the time, the judge said he would consider the defense’s arguments over the weekend … though he did indicate he was likely to dismiss the juror.
