What Happened to Juror #6? Inside the Diddy Courtroom Bombshell (6/17/25)

Beyond The Horizon

Juror #6—a 41‑year‑old Black man—was dismissed on June 16, 2025, by Judge Arun Subramanian after it emerged that he had provided conflicting information about his residence. During jury selection, he stated he lived in the Bronx, but later told court staff he had moved to New Jersey—making him potentially ineligible for the Manhattan federal jury. The judge cited serious concerns over his candor and credibility, noting that these inconsistencies might suggest he “shaded answers to get on, and stay on” the jury.
Combs’s defense objected to the removal, arguing that dismissing one of only two Black men on the panel—and replacing him with a white male alternate—would compromise racial diversity and prejudice Combs. But Judge Subramanian emphasized that the decision was based solely on honesty and eligibility, stating that allowing the juror to remain “would be improper” if race were the motive. He noted the need to uphold the integrity of the process and maintain trust in juror credibility.
