Jury selection dispute
Didi’s chief attorney, Marc Agnifilo, opposed seven of the nine people in the jury who were non-white, saying “this is equivalent to a pattern”, so the process of choosing a juror is not without controversy.
But Judge Arun Subramanian rejected the challenge, saying: “The defense failed to show purposeful discrimination”.
After a comprehensive review process before finalizing the selection of a juror, about 150 potential jurors were handed a binder containing dozens of names and locations that might have appeared during the trial of the music tycoon and then, according to the report, 18 were finally selected.
