The jury in the trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs will keep deliberating after reaching a partial verdict, but deadlocking on the most serious charge faced by the hip-hop mogul.
At the federal court in New York, the 12 jurors announced they had agreed on four of the five counts, but were unable to decide on the racketeering charge, which carries a possible life prison term.
The atmosphere was tense as the rapper sat with his head bowed, hands folded in his lap. His lawyers occasionally put their arms around him. Deliberations will resume on Wednesday morning.
Mr Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to all five charges, including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
