Judge Arun Subramanian is on the bench.

Toward the end of the day yesterday, the jury sent the judge a note with a question about the charges concerning the distribution of controlled substances. The judge said he would answer that question today.

Jurors in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal criminal trial will continue deliberations after over five hours of discussion yesterday.

Combs, 55, is charged with five counts — one count of racketeering conspiracy and two counts each of sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. If found guilty of the most serious charges, he could face up to life in prison.

Here’s what happened in court yesterday:

• Judge instructed jury on charges: Judge Arun Subramanian defined the crimes that the jury could potentially find were committed by Combs or a co-conspirator.
• Concern from the jury: About an hour into deliberations, the jury sent a note saying they were concerned that one of the jurors could not follow the judge’s instructions. The judge sent a note back reminding jurors of their obligation to follow his instructions on the law.
• Another note: A jury note sent toward the end of the day asked a question about the distribution of controlled substances, which the judge said he would answer today.
