PUFF DADDY IN COURT: Rap mogul Sean “Puffy” Combs’ first day of court to face bribery and weapons possession charges lasted all of 15 minutes of mostly uneventful proceedings. During the session, the prosecution, the defense teams and Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Charles Solomon prepared for jury selection.
Combs arrived before his lawyers at 9:45 a.m. ET, AP reports, and was joined at 10 a.m. with his co-defendants Jamal “Shyne” Barrow and Anthony Jones. The judge then warned the defendants not to talk about the case outside the courtroom so as not to make the jury selection process more difficult. He then set Jan. 11 as another court date in which more jury selection discussion would take place with the actual selection to begin after Jan. 15.
The case stems from a Dec. 27 incident in which three people were shot inside Club New York, a Manhattan nightclub. Combs and bodyguard Jones, who fled the scene in a Ford Explorer that was stopped by New York City police, were charged with weapons possession while Barrow was charged with attempted murder.
