What is racketeering? Jury reaches partial verdict in Diddy trial

Prosecutors, Combs’ defense team and Judge Arun Subramanian reasoned that after just two days of deliberations, it was too soon to give up on reaching a verdict on all counts. So rather than taking a partial verdict, Subramanian told the jury to continue weighing the remaining charge. Deliberations will continue Wednesday.

The developments came late Tuesday afternoon, when the jury sent a note saying it was unable to reach a unanimous verdict on the racketeering conspiracy charge because there were jurors with “unpersuadable views” on both sides.

After hearing about the note, Combs appeared morose as his lawyers explained to him what was happening, at one point solemnly reading a piece of paper that attorney Marc Agnifilo handed to him. The hip-hop mogul 's mother and several of his children returned to the courtroom.
