The decision to drop the juror means that a Black, middle-aged man has now been replaced by an older, white man.

A juror could be dismissed from the panel after he allegedly gave conflicting answers about where he lives, in either New York or across the Hudson River in New Jersey. On Friday, U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian said he would make his final decision about dismissing Juror No. 6 today.

The judge in the Sean "Diddy" Combs sex trafficking and racketeering trial in New York City dismissed one of the jurors Monday and replaced him with an alternate. On Friday, the judge and attorneys held lengthy discussions about Juror 6.
