It felt like something out of a Hitchcock movie, but it wasn’t the same. The judge ended the Diddy trial on Wednesday after discovering that one of the jurors was suffering from vertigo. While we don’t have information about the juror’s underlying condition, the evidence presented this week was quite astonishing, leaving jurors captivated by various bizarre videos via TMZ.
Jurors put on their headphones Tuesday and watched around 10 minutes of the vids, featuring s*x scenes between Diddy, Cassie, and male escorts. You could hear a pin drop in the courtroom, as the peanut gallery heard moans bleeding through the headphones.
Judge Arun Subramanian canceled proceedings on what would have been the 26th day of testimony. He told those assembled that a juror was experiencing symptoms of vertigo on their way in and had to turn around and go home.
The court reviewed text messages exchanged between a member of Diddy’s security team and a drug dealer, which were presented by the prosecution. The defense objected to the inclusion of these messages. The judge will determine whether the texts will be admitted as evidence.
Diddy’s former assistant and alleged drug mule, Brendan Paul, was expected to be called to the stand. Paul’s been granted immunity to testify.
The court is dark on Thursday in observance of the Juneteenth holiday and will resume Friday.
