Jurors in the trial of Sean"Diddy" Combs will keep deliberating after they reached a partial verdict, but found themselves unable to agree on the most serious charge faced by the hip-hop mogul. At the federal court in New York, the 12 jurors said they had agreed on four of the five counts. Those verdicts have not been made public. But jurors were unable to decide on the racketeering charge, which carries a possible life prison term. Mr Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to all the charges against him, which include two counts of sex trafficking and two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, as well as the single count of racketeering. Deliberations will resume on Wednesday morning.
陪审员在肖恩“迪迪”梳子的审判中将在达成部分判决后继续审议，但发现自己无法就嘻哈大亨面临的最严重指控达成共识。在纽约的联邦法院，12名陪审员说，他们已经同意了五项罪名中的四项。这些判决尚未公开。但是陪审员无法决定带有终身监禁的球拍指控。现年55岁的科姆斯先生对他对他的所有指控不认罪，其中包括两项性贩运罪和两项交通罪，从事卖淫，以及单一的敲诈勒索罪名。审议将在星期三早上恢复。
The atmosphere in court on Tuesday was tense - as the rapper sat with head bowed, hands folded in his lap. His lawyers occasionally put their arms around him. Over the past two months, the jury has heard from 34 witnesses, including ex-girlfriends, former employees of Mr Combs, male escorts and federal agents. Diddy verdict: Follow live updates Mr Combs is charged with racketeering conspiracy, two charges of sex trafficking and two charges of transportation to engage in prostitution. At around 16:30 EDT on Tuesday (20:30 GMT), the jury announced they had reached a verdict on four of the five counts, after two days of deliberations. The panel said they could not come to an agreement on the racketeering charge because jurors on both sides had opinions that were unmovable. Judge Arun Subramanian heard arguments from both the prosecution and the rapper's defence attorneys on how to proceed, before urging the jurors to keep trying to come to a unanimous decision. Their verdicts on the other four counts were not disclosed. The prosecution urged the judge to use an Allen charge, which is a set of instructions given to a hung jury to press its members to reach a unanimous decision. Allen charges are controversial, as some believe they can put undue pressure on juries, forcing them to change their stances or cave to peer pressure - especially when their opinion is in the minority. As well as returning to court on Wednesday, the jurors could potentially continue deliberating on 3 July - when the court is normally closed ahead of the 4 July public holiday.
周二法庭上的气氛很紧张 - 说唱歌手抬头坐着，双手折叠起来。他的律师偶尔将双臂围绕着他。在过去的两个月中，陪审团收到了34名证人，包括前女友，前康姆斯先生的前雇员，男性伴游和联邦特工。DIDDY判决：关注Combs先生的实时更新被指控犯有敲诈勒索的阴谋，两项性贩运指控和两项运输指控，以进行卖淫。在星期二（格林尼治标准时间20:30）的美国东部时间16:30左右，陪审团宣布，经过两天的审议，他们对五项罪名中的四项作出了判决。小组表示，他们无法就敲诈勒索指控达成协议，因为双方的陪审员的意见都不可动摇。法官阿伦·萨伯拉曼（Arun Subramanian）在敦促陪审员继续试图做出一致决定之前，听取了起诉和说唱歌手的辩护律师的辩论。他们对其他四项罪名的判决没有披露。检方敦促法官使用艾伦指控，这是向悬而未决的陪审团提出的一组指示，要求其成员做出一致的决定。艾伦的指控是有争议的，因为有些人认为他们可能会对陪审团施加不当的压力，迫使他们改变自己的立场或洞穴到同伴压力，尤其是当他们的意见在少数群体中时。除了在周三返回法院外，陪审员可能会在7月3日之前继续审议 - 通常在7月4日公共假期之前关闭法院时。
