So jury selection has begun. The trial should start maybe next week, or even this week if the jury gets selected quickly.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs trial gets underway with jury selection

Jury selection began Monday in the sex trafficking trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs.

abcnews.go.com

This is from the link above -

"His defense team includes Marc Agnifilo and Teny Geragos. They represented NXIVM founder Keith Raniere who was convicted of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, the same charges Combs faces.

The defense team also includes Brian Steel, who represented rapper Young Thug at a racketeering trial in Atlanta, and Alexandra Shapiro, a leading appellate litigator who also represents Sam Bankman-Fried.
The all-female prosecution team includes Maureen Comey, who successfully prosecuted Ghislaine Maxwell for sex trafficking, and Emily Johnson, Mitzi Steiner and Madison Smyser, who have prosecuted violent crime, and gang prosecutor Christy Slavik."

Here's a third updating link. Probably enough now to be able to follow. The judge says he wants a pool of 45 jurors. At the end of yesterday he had 19 in the pool. So should be closer after today. Trial will not be live streamed.

NY doesn't do it. They didn't do it with President Trump either if you remember. Just old fashioned court reporters. Tweeting probably is allowed.

I read that one of the witnesses has backed out. Can't remember where i read it now.

ETA Found it. It is in the ABC7 link two posts up.

"The judge has said he wants a pool of 45 perspectives jurors before the lawyers begin selecting who they do or do not want to serve on this panel.
Before the court adjourned on Monday, prosecutors revealed that one of the three anonymous witnesses expected to testify may not show up despite receiving a subpoena.
Prosecutors say the woman's attorney has been going through some issues and has been difficult to communicate with."

I didn’t think it would be streamed. Famous people probably don’t want their faces shown on this trial at all, whether they knew what was going on or not.
