Sean “Didi” comb Federal trial jurors were at a deadlock Tuesday after they sentenced five counts against the rapper.
Two months after the trial began, nearly 14 hours of deliberation, jurors told Judge Arun Subramanian that they could not make a consensus decision on the allegations of blackmail.
The prosecution convened a full seven weeks of testimony and called more than 30 witnesses, while Didi’s defense team did not call any witnesses on their behalf, a move considered “high-bet poker” by former federal prosecutor and Fox News contributor Trey Gowdy.

“Usually, when the defense does not call witnesses, the defendant is called a prisoner,” Gaudi explained. “I have already said my entire career. It’s a weird way to call someone a prisoner. You have to give the jury a reason for reasonable doubt, just say that the prosecution has not fulfilled its burden… Most jurors don’t really understand the burden.”
He added: “The jury must be given a reason for doubt, and if you don’t make a very important defense, then all you have to do is cross-examine the government witnesses and you will become a prisoner.”
Didi told the court last week that his decision would not testify in his sex crimes. The judge asked Didi if he knew if he had the right to testify and if he had discussed his rights with his attorney. Didi replied, “Yes,” and then admitted to the “complete decision” not to testify at his sex crime trial.

“It’s very complicated – most lawyers can’t explain RICO, so expect 12 people, ordinary citizen jurors to understand criminal businesses, predicate behavior…that’s a lot to ask,” Gaudi said. “Even if you don’t win, there’s a reason to charge it. It opens the door to evidence that might be closed, so many times prosecutors charge some fees because it allows you to get extra evidence in front of a jury, even if you really don’t want a guilty verdict on it.”

Criminal defense lawyer John W. Dayowner of Santa Fe, New Mexico, New Mexico-based legal practice John Day LawTell Fox News Digital that jurors may have a hard time understanding the RICO allegations.
“Is Didi Goofy’s, perhaps disturbing lifestyle, or can you really pick out a crime business with a fairly organized crime family?” Dai said. “But tomorrow morning the judge hopes that after a night of thinking, the jurors will think about Rico (one way or another) for a second time and make a consensus on the worst allegations.”

Criminal defense lawyer Nicole Blank Becker, The person representing R. Kelly explained that the predicate against Diddy was the “foundation” for establishing RICO allegations. Whether the jury can reach a consensus on the verdict remains to be seen.
“So what happened is that now they are forced to go back there, there may be a lot of frustration there, fighting back and forth more,” Becker said. “My understanding is that the words and actions of the jurors are valid and they have unconvincing opinions on both sides. So it’s clear that some jurors are thinking, ‘OK, obviously he’s guilty.'”
The judge directed the jury to continue its consideration for the time being. The second option is to give instructions to supplement the jury. Finally, the jury can return to a partial judgment. However, Judge Subramanian said he has not yet considered a third option and has chosen to reread part of the jury.

“The jury may be hanging on different requirements of the charges, including elements of the criminal enterprise,” Fades said. “I suspect this could be an incredible point because the government has not accused any accomplices and has never summoned other alleged members of any criminal enterprise.”

“At this point, it is not clear whether a partial judgment could lead to any reason for the appeal,” he added.
The government stressed in their argument Didi runs a suspected criminal enterprise Complete control. The prosecutor noted that the jury heard the testimony, saw the text, looked at the bank records, and listened to the “last night” that allegedly showed the rapper committed crimes decades later.
According to the prosecution, the government shows Didi has not rejected the answer. “Up to this day Diddy has been able to escape crimes because of money and power,” said Assistant U.S. Attorney Christine Slavik. “Stop now.”

“It seems that the jury is struggling for most of the time and spends most of the time debating the more serious and complex number of rackets,” Bassett noted. “If I were a defense, I would be worried, but you never know what the jury would do. For this trial, 13-hour deliberation is the short side of expectations.”
When the jury was brought back to court, the judge asked them to continue deliberations and said they had the responsibility to discuss and form opinions.

Judge Subramanian said jurors must reach a consensus judgment but must not waive their beliefs just to return to the verdict or satisfy the judgment of the remaining jurors. The jury was then fired back to the jury. The court ends after 5 p.m. and the jury is asked to return before 9 a.m. Wednesday
“Both sides said they do not want to accept a partial sentence,” attorney David S. Seltzer told Fox News Digital. “This forces the jury to make a full sentence, which could eventually lead to a jury if they cannot make a verdict on all charges and lead to a possible retrial of the pending charges.
“As for the appeal issue, there will be many, and depending on how the case is resolved, this may be another question for the appeal.”
