Jurors reached a partial verdict in Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ sex-trafficking trial on four out of five counts – two sex trafficking charges and two for transportation to engage in prostitution.
They could not agree on count one, which was the racketing and conspiracy charge.
This charge alone carries the maximum sentence and could see P Diddy spend the rest of his life in prison.
A note passed to the judge stated: “We have not reached a verdict on count one because we have unpersuadable jurors on both sides.”
The defence and prosecution both asked the Judge for the jury to continue deliberations and reach a verdict in a trial that has lasted more than a month, delivering some harrowing testimony.
In the closing arguments prosecutor Christy Slavik told jurors: “The defendant [Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs] used power, violence and fear to get what he wanted,”
“He thought that his fame, wealth and power put him above the law.”

Diddy’s defense lawyer Marc Agnifilo however claimed Diddy was facing a ‘fake trial’ and that prosecutors had ‘badly exaggerated’ evidence of Combs’ lifestyle.
He claimed to the court that Diddy and Cassie Ventura had a “loving, beautiful relationship”, though during the trial she gave testimony saying he forced her to take part in ‘freak offs’ and jurors were shown a video of Combs assaulting her in a hotel.
The jury will continue deliberations tomorrow until a verdict can be reached, with deliberations potentially continuing on Thursday when the court is meant to be closed.
The news means that a conclusion is close in the high-profile trial, one which could put Diddy behind bars for life if he is found guilty on all counts.

The rapper and producer continues to deny all charges.
Diddy is accused of hosting ‘freak-off’ parties in which he would supposedly engage in bizarre sexual rituals as part of drug fuelled rituals.
He reportedly used his fame and power to intimidate others into engaging in sexual acts they did not want to do.
This included two ex-girlfriends and multiple employees of his, including one assistant who accused the music mogul of rape.
His defence team conceded that he ‘had a temper’ but maintained that he had not forced anyone to engage in sexual acts again their will.
The trial saw several high profile faces appear to testify against Diddy, including rapper Kid Cudi.
He stated that, due to a brief relationship with Cassie Ventura, Diddy had firebombed his car.
Ventura claimed during testimony that, when he learned of this relationship, the music mogul had placed a wine opener between his fingers and ‘lunged’ at her.
