Diddy Trial — Answers to All the Essential Questions
We obtained the questionnaire sent out to potential jurors, with jury selection beginning Monday, and it tells them, “There are no plans to sequester the jury, which means you will go home every day after court.”
It’s pretty interesting the jury is not being sequestered from the jump … in the O.J. trial, the jury ended up being sequestered.

Diddy’s a big star like O.J. and there’s tons of media coverage surrounding the trial … just like with the Simpson murder case, when jurors were sequestered for a record 9 months.
As it stands now, there’s nothing physically stopping the Diddy jurors from going home and watching the news … but later down the questionnaire, potential jurors are instructed to “avoid all media coverage and not to go on the Internet or social media with regard to this case for any purpose.” That entry goes on to forbid discussing the case with friends, family, coworkers — anyone — until the trial is done.

Opening arguments are set for next Monday and TMZ is covering all developments in detail for the length of the trial, and we’ve got answers to all your questions.
Check in often and stay tuned, Diddy juror or not!!!
