Diddy juror dismissed by judge over inconsistencies about residence, will be replaced
- Judge Arun Subramanian dismissed a juror from Sean "Diddy" Combs' sex-trafficking trial on Monday due to residency inconsistencies.
- The dismissal followed questions about whether the juror lived mostly in New York or New Jersey and conflicting statements raised concerns about his candor.

- Prosecutors plan to rest their case soon, the trial is expected to conclude by the July 4 holiday, and Combs remains jailed in Brooklyn after multiple bail denials.
