The jury may have closed the book on P Diddy's case, but the internet hasn’t. Fans are demanding a retrial after Juror 160 was reportedly spotted as a fan in 50 Cent’s new documentary, fueling bias claims in the wake of a reported four-year sentence.

So, Diddy got a little over four years, the jury went home, and somehow the drama is louder now than it was during the trial. The spark this time: a juror who showed up in 50 Cent's Netflix doc and the internet immediately turned into CSI: Jury Duty.

Why people want a do-over

The noise is centered on Juror 160, who appears in the Netflix doc 'Sean Combs: The Reckoning.' Some viewers decided she sounded a little too enthusiastic when talking about Sean Combs, and the retrial chatter started. Reddit threads called her out as a fan, accusing her of swooning over courtroom eye contact. It is what the internet does: hears a tone, declares a conspiracy.

What Juror 160 actually said

On camera, she identified herself as a Millennial who grew up on the music Combs helped shape — Biggie, 112, even Day26 — but said she was not personally a Diddy fan. She also explained their verdict was based only on the charges in front of them. Cassie Ventura and the Los Angeles hotel video? Not part of deliberations, because domestic violence was not on the charge sheet.

'Based on that Intercontinental video, he can be. Unforgivable, honestly. You can't beat that small girl like that, the way he did ... but domestic violence wasn't one of the charges.'

That is the crux of her point: you can think the video is awful and still be required to stick strictly to the federal counts you are given.

The photo that went viral... and got debunked

Then a new accusation popped up: an old picture of Combs with a woman who looked like Juror 160 started circulating on X, with posts suggesting she lied about not being a fan. That made the rounds quickly — and then got undercut just as fast. Journalist Wynter Mitchell Rohrbaugh stepped in on Threads to say the woman in that 2009 BET Awards photo is her, not the juror. She even reposted the pic to make it crystal clear. So the photo smoking gun? Not a gun.

Where the verdict actually landed

Here is the official scoreboard from the case itself: Combs was convicted on two transportation-for-prostitution charges. He was acquitted on the bigger-ticket counts, including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion. The sentence is 50 months in prison, with credit for time already served.

The reactions (and how far they stretch)

Online, some folks are calling for a retrial based on what they saw in the doc and how the jurors came off on camera. Others are just venting about the system. A few took it sideways into other Combs-adjacent storylines. Here is the spread:

  • One user flat-out called for a mistrial after seeing Juror 160 in the doc.
  • Another said if people are this gullible, they are losing hope in humanity.
  • Someone who started the doc said they remembered Juror 160 praising Diddy early on and only connected the dots after the photo rumor.
  • Another viewer criticized the male juror interview, saying he did not grasp how abuse cycles work and misread the Cassie situation.
  • One post argued it looked like the judges wanted a mistrial from the start.
  • Another viewer said they were suspicious the moment Juror 160 mentioned people outside court talking about the case.
  • And yes, one thread even veered into Keefe D and a delay tied to new evidence in the Tupac case, linking it to the broader Combs conversation.

So, was the trial fair?

The documentary makes the jurors feel more human, which is also why everyone is reading tone and body language like it is a second trial. The viral photo angle is already off the board thanks to Wynter Mitchell Rohrbaugh, but the bigger argument remains: did the jury stick to the narrow charges, or were they swayed by celebrity? Juror 160 says they focused on the counts, full stop. Whether that satisfies you probably depends on how you weigh that LA hotel video against what was actually in the indictment.

'Sean Combs: The Reckoning' is streaming on Netflix. If you watched it, did the juror interviews make you more confident in the verdict or less?
