To combat this, one of the questions they plan to ask possible jurors is whether they’ve ever strongly held an opinion but eventually changed their mind.
Additionally, TMZ reports that many prospective jurors expect this case specifically to relate to allegations of Diddy having sex involving minors. Since it doesn’t in any way, that could give the defense an advantage.
One more obsticle is just how long the case is expected to last. Many potential jurors don’t have the freedom to sit through a two-month trial and will likely ask for a hardship excuse.
