Diddy's Mistrial Request Denied: Judge Rules Against Defense in High-Profile Case

Sean "Diddy" Combs's second mistrial request was denied by Judge Arun Subramanian in New York City on June 10, 2025. The defense, alleging prosecutorial misconduct, argued for a mistrial based on the testimony of Jane, a witness who had prior meetings with prosecutors. A Newsweek reporter covering the trial stated, "The judge basically ruled, 'You had your victory, you had your Perry Mason moment.'" The video shows footage from outside the courthouse and courtroom sketches. Jane's testimony focused on her relationship with Mr. Combs and her efforts to protect her child's identity. The judge's denial of the mistrial indicates the trial will proceed. This case highlights the complexities of high-profile legal battles and the importance of protecting witness identities.
