The jury in the trial of Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs<\/a> resumed deliberations Wednesday after saying it has reached a verdict on four of the five counts against the hip-hop mogul.<\/p>\n

The 12-member panel sent a note on Tuesday afternoon informing Judge Arun Subramanian that it had come to an agreement on counts two, three, four and five \u2014 which include sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution \u2014 but was unable to reach a verdict on count one: racketeering conspiracy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have reached a verdict on counts 2, 3, 4 and 5,” the note read. “We are unable to reach a verdict on count 1 as we have jurors with unpersuadable opinions on both sides.\u201d<\/p>\n

Subramanian told the jury to \u201ckeep an open mind\u201d as it continues deliberating the case.<\/p>\n

Federal prosecutors say that for decades, Combs abused, threatened and coerced women to participate in drug-fueled marathon sexual encounters called \u201cfreak offs” and used his business empire, along with guns, kidnapping and arson, to control his victims.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe defendant used power, violence and fear to get what he wanted,\u201d Assistant U.S. Attorney Christy Slavik said during last week\u2019s closing arguments. \u201cIt\u2019s time to hold him accountable. It\u2019s time for justice. And it\u2019s time to find him guilty.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marc Agnifilo, Combs\u2019s lead defense attorney, argued that Combs is a \u201cswinger\u201d and a drug abuser guilty of past domestic violence, but not the \u201cleader of a criminal enterprise\u201d as prosecutors have portrayed him.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe did not do the things he\u2019s charged with,\u201d Agnifilo told jurors. \u201cHe did what he did. But he\u2019s going to fight to the death to defend himself from what he didn\u2019t do.\u201d<\/p>\n
