Just over seven weeks since they first sat down to hear the evidence in the Sean "Diddy" Combs trial, jurors have now reached verdicts on four out of the five counts against him.

They have been deliberating for about 13 hours.

There were tense scenes as the news was delivered to both the prosecution and defence towards the end of the court day today - but the hip-hop mogul will have to wait to hear his fate.

Jurors have been asked to deliberate further on the charge of racketeering, and will continue to do so tomorrow.

The judge calls jurors back in again very briefly to thank them for all their hard work so far.

He tells them they won't need to come into the courtroom first thing tomorrow, but once all 12 jurors have arrived they can return to their deliberations on the racketeering charge.

Reminding them once again to keep an open mind, he wishes them all "a great evening" and says he will see them tomorrow.

Judge Arun Subramanian has welcomed the jury back into the courtroom in Manhattan, New York.

He acknowledges they have reached verdicts on four of the five counts, and asks that they keep deliberating on Count 1 - racketeering conspiracy.

The judge reminds them of the instructions they were given yesterday, that they should not hesitate to change their opinion if convinced and follow his instructions on the law.

Jurors are dismissed from the courtroom, but quickly send a note back.

They have completed their deliberations for the day and will return tomorrow at 9am (2pm UK time).

As he awaits news, Sean "Diddy" Combs gestures to his family in the courtroom - putting his hands in prayer and giving them a thumbs up.

Jurors first went out to consider the charges yesterday and have been deliberating for about 12 to 13 hours in total.

In case you missed it earlier, they have reached a verdict on the sex-trafficking and transportation for prostitution charges, but say they have so far been unable to come to a unanimous verdict on the charge of racketeering conspiracy.

After a flurry of activity in court, it seems there may be a wait now to see what happens next.

Judge Arun Subramanian has said there are a few options.

First of all, he could tell the jury to keep deliberating. The second option is a modified "Allen charge", also known as a "dynamite charge", to encourage the panel to reach a unanimous decision on Count 1 - racketeering conspiracy.

The third option would be for the court to advise the jury to return a partial verdict, but as they have been deliberating for less than two days the judge says he doesn't think they are at the stage for this yet.

Several of Sean "Diddy" Combs's children have arrived back in the courtroom and taken their seats next to their grandmother, the rapper's mother, Janice Combs.

She has been in court to support him throughout the trial.

Combs is now standing up chatting with one of his lawyers, Xavier Donaldson, while Marc Agnifilo and Teny Geragos, who are also on his team, are in their seats.

Both prosecutors and the defence have said they would like the jury to keep deliberating on Count 1, which is the racketeering conspiracy charge.

Judge Arun Subramanian has asked both teams to send their proposed instructions for jurors.

We now know that jurors have reached verdicts on counts 2, 3, 4 and 5 but not the first count.

These are the charges against Sean "Diddy" Combs.

• Count 1 - racketeering conspiracy
• Count 2 - sex-trafficking of Cassie Ventura
• Count 3 - transporting individuals including but not limited to Cassie Ventura to engage in prostitution
• Count 4 - sex-trafficking of Jane*
• Count 5 - transporting individuals including but not limited to Jane to engage in prostitution

And here are the potential sentences:

• Racketeering conspiracy - up to life in prison
• Sex-trafficking - a minimum sentence of 15 years and up to life in prison
• Transportation to engage in prostitution - a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison

Jurors have reached verdicts on the sex-trafficking charges and transportation for prostitution charges, but not racketeering conspiracy.

*Jane testified using a pseudonym.

Stand by for updates.

Several of the defence lawyers are hugging each other and have formed a circle around Sean "Diddy" Combs.

One of his lawyers, Marc Agnifilo, is explaining something to the rapper.

Prosecutors remain at their seats.

Lawyers are coming back into the courtroom as the jury has sent another note.

Sean "Diddy" Combs is also coming back in.

We don't have any information yet on what the note says but we'll bring you an update as soon as we do.
