SDNY COURTHOUSE, July 8 – An alternate juror from the US v. Sean Combs trial, who works for the United Nations, has gone on CNN and called the freak-off videos that the Press was not allowed to see during the trial "tame."
When the UN official, to get on the jury, said over two days in May that the UN Office of Counter-Terrorism where he works never engages with US law enforcement, Inner City Press reported publicly that this was false. The UN official, it seemed clear, wanted to badly to get on this jury.
And immediately after the three not guilty, two guilty verdicts, he appeared on CNN, identified as George and showing his face. He lied on CNN too: He said that jurors were never told until the end who were the alternates.
False. He knew from the beginning that he was an alternate, the last alternate, who would deliberate only if six of the 12 actual jurors were knocked out.
But he makes himself more newsworthy by claiming that until the end he thought he could deliberate.
He also makes representations about how other jurors responded to victim / witness Dawn Richard (poorly) - even though Judge Subramanian said the jurors and alternates should not discuss the case or witnesses until after the closings and legal charge.
So he outed not only himself - it would appear he wants to sell the 350 pages of notes he bragged about - but also the other jurors.
