The defense has argued that the encounters were consensual, and Combs has denied any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n<p>Penland\u2019s testimony came a day after Judge Arun Subramanian\u00a0dismissed a Black juror\u00a0who had given conflicting accounts about where he lived over defense objections that his removal would reduce the racial diversity of the 12-member panel.<\/p>\n<p>The 55-year-old hip-hop mogul is facing five criminal counts: one count of racketeering conspiracy, two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
