Diddy‘s freak off tapes were shown to jurors inside the courtroom of his sex trafficking trial.
Prosecutions played sections of three videos, each just over 10 minutes in length with jurors given headphones to listen to the audio.
Jurors were played around 30 seconds of each clips and it is reported that sex noises could be heard coming from the headphones.
One juror could be heard giggling when the clips were first shown.

Diddy’s latest attempt to garner a mistrial was again thwarted by the judge.
The Bad Boy Records founder and his legal team filed a letter to Judge Arun Subramanian, claiming that the prosecution are attempting to remove a juror from the trial based on his race.
The prosecution are unhappy about the unnamed juror’s answers during a questionnaire to decide whether they can be an acceptable member of the jury.
The issue regarding the answers appears to relate to their residency rather than a knowledge about Diddy or anybody else involved in the trial that could mean they are biased.

Diddy and his team have accused the prosecution of trying to “to take advantage of an opportunity to strike yet another black male from the jury.”
However, the judge dismissed the juror in question from the trial and dismissed Diddy’s latest bid for a mistrial.
Diddy’s own conduct towards jurors during the trial has gotten him into trouble.

Judge Arun Subramanian accused the rap mogul of making faces and nodding towards the jury while witnesses were being questioned.
Subramanian said to Diddy’s attorney, Marc Agnifilo: “Mr. Agnifilo, your client was looking at jurors and nodding vigorously. This can’t continue or I will give a limiting instruction you won’t like, or other measures including barring your client from the courtroom. Do you understand?”
Agnifilo said: “It’s not going to happen again.”
Subramanian then warned: “This cannot happen again.”
