Two of the jurors in the trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs spoke out about their reasoning in 50 Cent's new Netflix docuseries about the disgraced mogul. "I do feel it's important that we let the public know from the jurors' standpoint just kind of how we reached the verdict," Juror 160 said in the first episode of Sean Combs: The Reckoning, which premiered Tuesday, December 2. "It's not everything that the media has put it out to be." Later in the series, Juror 160 admitted that she knew the public would be upset by the split verdict. (In July, the jury found Diddy, 56, guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution but acquitted him of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy.) "When we were in the deliberation room and [we'd] come to an agreement and we're only saying that he's guilty for these two counts, my words exactly were, 'Oh, [spells out s***],'" she recalled. Diddy Trial Alternate Juror Claims Freak Off Videos Were 'Pretty Tame' A second jury member, referred to as Juror 75, told the filmmakers that he "100 percent" thinks justice was served, adding, "We saw both sides of it and we came to our conclusions." The jury reached their verdict on July 2 after two days of deliberation. The trial began in May following Diddy's September 2024 arrest. He pleaded not guilty to the charges and denied all of the allegations against him. In October, Judge Arun Subramanian sentenced him to 50 months, or just over four years, in prison, with five years of supervised release. He was also ordered to pay a $500,000 fine. Netflix In the docuseries, executive produced by 50 Cent, Juror 75 explained that he had trouble understanding why Diddy's ex-girlfriend Cassie (full name Casandra Ventura) kept going back to him amid the alleged abuse. During the trial, forensic psychologist Dr. Dawn Hughes testified as an expert witness about the dynamics of abusive relationships, but Juror 75 still questions Cassie's motives. "That was a very, very interesting relationship," Juror 75 said. "It was two people in love - they are, like, overly [in] love. You cannot explain [why] she wanted to be with him. He took her for granted, he never thought that she would leave, so it's like both hands clapping together: You cannot clap with one hand. [You need] both hands ... then you get the noise." Juror 75 went on to note that the defense exhibits of loving text messages between Cassie, now 39, planted further doubts. "The very next day, the following day, you see how they are getting back together, exchanging text messages like nothing ever happened," he told the filmmakers. "So, now we are confused: What's going on here? ... If you don't like something, you completely get out. You cannot have it both ways. Have the luxury and then you complain about it, I don't think so." Juror 160, for her part, acknowledged that Diddy "can be" violent "based on that InterContinental video." The video in question was published by CNN in May 2024 and showed Diddy assaulting Cassie in a hotel hallway in 2016. How Diddy's Trial Jury Will Be Chosen When Everyone Has Seen Cassie Footage "Unforgivable, honestly. You can't beat that small girl like that the way he did," Juror 160 added before noting that she was considering only the crimes for which he was being tried. "You can say he was a terrible person, but domestic violence wasn't one of the charges." Juror 160 went on to address reports that Diddy was nodding at the jury and attempting to communicate with them during the trial. While she confirmed he did sometimes nod at them, she denied the claim that he was trying to sway them with his facial expressions. "There were times where he would feel strongly ... and he would nod, but that's pretty much all it was. It wasn't anything crazy," she explained. "It wasn't like he was trying to sway us. I think it was more of just him as a person reacting to whatever was being said and forgetting where he was at the time. It's funny, because I remember that nod watching Making the Band - like, he would do that often. I think that's just his go-to. If he felt it was something that he wanted, I guess, approval on, he would look toward us and be like, 'You heard that?' and sometimes look over to us like, you 'Can you believe they said that?'" She added that she sometimes "had the same facial expressions" as Diddy did when a witness was saying something "that didn't make much sense." When asked by an off camera filmmaker to give an example, Juror 160 cited the testimony of Capricorn Clark. "She's remembering these events more than a decade ago, and with the emotion attached to it, maybe the details are skewed, but the problem is that that just leaves room for doubt," said Juror 160. "That's where her credibility became an issue, I think." Clark, who worked as an assistant for Diddy off and on from 2004 to 2018, claimed in her testimony that Diddy kidnapped her at one point, which he denied. She also appeared in the docuseries and pushed back against the idea
