BREAKING NEWS: The Diddy jury has reached a partial verdict on four charges but remains deadlocked on the racketeering conspiracy count that could send him to prison for life. Reid Carter breaks down this stunning development as jurors report "unpersuadable views" on the most serious charge. What does a partial verdict mean? Why is the racketeering count so problematic? And how does this connect to the "wildcard" Juror 25 who couldn't follow instructions? Plus: Judge Subramanian orders the jury to keep deliberating on the hung charge. This explosive trial just took another dramatic turn that nobody saw coming.

Caalarogashark Media. This is Read Carter with breaking news from

2
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:16.600
the Sean Ditty Combs trial. At approximately three pm Eastern,

3
00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:20.359
the jury sent their sixth note to Judge Arun Subramanian

4
00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:23.839
with stunning news. They have reached a partial verdict on

5
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:27.679
four of the five charges against Combs, but remain deadlocked

6
00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:32.039
on the most serious count, racketeering conspiracy. The jury's note

7
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:37.359
specifically stated they have unpersuadable views on the racketeering charge,

8
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:41.960
legal terminology that suggests at least one juror is absolutely

9
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:45.799
refusing to convict or acquit on that count. This is

10
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:48.759
the charge that could send Ditty to prison for life.

11
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:52.280
A partial verdict means the jury has unanimous decisions on

12
00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:55.920
four counts, the two sex trafficking charges and the two

13
00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:01.159
transportation for prostitution charges. However, they cannot reach consensus on

14
00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:05.200
count one, the racketeering conspiracy that alleges Diddy ran a

15
00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:09.799
criminal enterprise for over twenty years. Judge Subramanian has instructed

16
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:13.680
the jury to continue deliberating, specifically asking them to focus

17
00:01:13.719 --> 00:01:17.879
on the hung charge. This is standard procedure. Judges typically

18
00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:21.319
encourage juries to keep trying before declaring a mistrial on

19
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:25.959
any count. The racketeering charge is the most complex, requiring

20
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:29.120
the jury to find that Combs conspired with others to

21
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:32.120
commit at least two predicate acts as part of a

22
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:36.959
criminal enterprise. The deadlock suggests some jurors may believe did

23
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:40.599
he committed individual crimes, but dispute whether he ran an

24
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:45.840
organized conspiracy. This development validates our earlier reporting about Jury

25
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:50.560
twenty five's issues following instructions. Jury dysfunction was apparent from

26
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:54.239
day one of deliberations, and now we're seeing the consequences

27
00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:57.760
play out in real time. We're standing by for further developments.

28
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:01.359
The jury could still reach unanimity on the racketeering charge,

29
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:05.239
or Judge Subramanian could eventually accept a partial verdict and

30
00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:08.639
declare a mistrial only on the hung count. Stay with
