This week the Diddy trial took a hard turn… from bombshells to almost complete silence. Shock replaced with suspense — as we just have to wait to see which way the jury will sway.
There have already been some hints. How long it’s taken already for one — as of this writing, they’ve been deliberating over 12 hours and are set to back to it on Wednesday! There was a note from the room early on saying one juror wasn’t able to follow instructions. That update was good for the defense, according to experts. More recently the jury have said they’ve agreed on the sex trafficking and prostitution charges — but are stuck on the racketeering charge. That update is said to be looking good for the prosecution as it implies the others are convictions. Of course, that’s all speculation. We won’t know for sure until the settle on a verdict for all counts.

But who are the people doing this deciding?? There are no cameras allowed in the courtroom, and the jurors’ identities are being kept private for now to keep them protected from anyone trying to influence the verdict. But there is some basic biographical information out there that some might find interesting — or use to predict how they might lean.
Here’s the rundown on each juror, per CNN:
