VERDICT SHOCKER: DIDDY JURY DEADLOCKED ON RACKETEERING AS COURTROOM DRAMA HITS FEVER PITCH
Hold the champagne—and the ankle monitor.
After 12 hours of white-knuckle deliberations, jurors in Sean "Diddy" Combs’ bombshell federal trial dropped a courtroom bombshell of their own Tuesday: they’ve reached a partial verdict—but can't agree on the biggest charge of all.
