\n\tA juror in the trial of Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs<\/a> is opening up about the decision-making process behind Wednesday\u2019s verdict, when the disgraced rap mogul was convicted of illegal prostitution but acquitted of sex-trafficking and racketeering charges. <\/p>\n

\n\tSpeaking to ABC News<\/a> on Thursday (July 3), the juror, who requested anonymity citing concerns of potential online abuse and cyber harassment, said they heard a legal pundit today suggest that Combs\u2019 celebrity status may have influenced the jury\u2019s decision, an idea that the juror slammed as \u201chighly insulting and belittling to the jury and the deliberation process.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe spent over two days deliberating. Our decision was based solely on the evidence presented and how the law is stated,\u201d the juror told the outlet. \u201cWe would have treated any defendant in the same manner regardless of who they are. I have nothing else to say.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tU.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian denied Combs\u2019 request for bail and ruled that he will have to remain in jail<\/a>, where he\u2019s been since his arrest 10 months ago<\/a>, until a sentencing hearing later this year. Judge Subramanian said his history of domestic violence still makes him a danger to society despite his acquittal on the more serious charges. The judge proposed a sentencing date of Oct. 3 but also set a remote hearing for Tuesday, July 8 to further discuss the sentence scheduling.<\/p>\n

\n\tAubrey O\u2019Day<\/a> and<\/a> Kesha<\/a> both recently showed support for Cassie<\/a>, who took the stand<\/a> for several days during the seven-week trial. Meanwhile, 50 Cent<\/a>, Combs\u2019 son King<\/a>, Funkmaster Flex<\/a> and more also weighed in on the verdict.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
