The upcoming trial of music tycoon Diddy’s comb is attracting higher attention as court lawsuits will begin within weeks. A newly proposed jury questionnaire submitted by Didi’s legal team on Friday afternoon showed some alleged clear content related to the case, including his so-called “freak-off” tape, could be shown to jurors.
According to the Associated Press, the questionnaire includes the comfort of potential jurors in videos viewing S3x explicit material or describing physical attacks. Didi’s defense team also wants to measure jurors’ attitudes to individuals with multiple S3xual partners. The document reportedly contains more than 70 issues, many of which have multiple sub-parts.
Prosecutors raised concerns about the timing of the questionnaire and argued in a letter to the judge that it could be too complicated and confusing for potential jurors.
Didi currently faces five federal charges: two counts of sex trafficking, two counts of traffic crimes for prostitution and one count of blackmail. Three of the charges were filed in the original indictment last September, with two more additional charges earlier this month. The 54-year-old music producer pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Federal prosecutors claim Diddy orchestrated a pattern of illegal behavior over the years, including organizing the so-called “freak” group S3X encounters, involving Diddy, a woman and a male S3X worker, often documented.
Meanwhile, as trial preparations intensify, whether Didi will expand speculation about its legal team. It is worth noting that crime defense attorney Mark Geragos, hosting the 2 Angry Men podcast, avoided questions about whether he might join Didi’s defense in a recent exchange with TMZ’s Harvey Levin.
The opening arguments at the trial are scheduled for May 12.
