Diddy Trial is here, choosing a jury will be a big challenge

Clearly Will finally be confronted with a jury of his colleagues who will determine his fate for the rest of his life … but finding the right jury – for each side – becomes a Herculean task.

The defense will be much more difficult, because there is no such thing as an unbiased jury. Good luck finding a potential jury member in New York City – or somewhere else in this country, in that respect – that has not formed an opinion about this case.

Because the public position Diddy is guilty, public prosecutors have a big edge. Regarding the defense, the way to ask questions about Bias is not just asking whether a potential jury member can have an open mind. The way to do it … they ask if potential jury members ever held a position that was important to them, but were able to change thoughts, and they must be specific.

This point became a big talk point in between Harvey And Mark Geragos On the most recent “2 angry men” Podcast.

There are other factors to consider … The Cassie video could seal the fate of Diddy, although he is not charged with the brutality that is seen on the video. But it certainly tells a powerful story … In the latest “Downfall of Diddy” documentary from TMZ we presented the case to a fake jury and a number of jury members said their thinking process started and ended with the video.

There are also logistics issues … A number of potential jury members will be apologized to do a trial period of 2 months in the summer to endure a dealbreaker for many. Many will be apologized because they cannot overcome their prejudices. So the swimming pool will shrink almost immediately.

Race will inevitably play a major role in the case – it will be interesting to see what each party wants in terms of diversity. Similarly, it is a dice role to decide whether men or women will be heavier/more sympathetic to Diddy.
