The Feds now suggest Diddy will be sentenced to a much harsher sentence than they did on the day of the verdict.
After the DOJ has fired James Comey’s daughter, prosecutor Maurene Comey, it appears that they’ve gone into a sterner mode than before in the final stages of the Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs high-profile trial.
Daily Mail reported:
“Prosecutors said they now expect music mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs could face a prison sentence ‘substantially higher’ than the four to five years they once thought he was likely to face after his conviction on two prostitution-related charges.”
Prosecutors revealed their new stance in a legal filing in Manhattan court last night (31) in which they also opposed Diddy’s $50 million bail package asking to be released from prison while awaiting his October sentencing.
Diddy has been found not guilty of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges but convicted of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
“Each prostitution-related charge carries a potential maximum 10 years in prison, [and prosecutors] said Thursday they believe the guidelines range ‘will be substantially higher,’ raising the risk Combs will flee.”
Judge Arun Subramanian will decide on the sentence, with freedom to ignore the guidelines.
Combs’ defense believes the guidelines call for 21 to 27 months in prison (of which the disgraced rapper has already served around 12 months).
As for the bail – that judge Subramanian has already denied 4 times and is examining a fifth try – prosecutors said the prostitution-related charges require that he be remanded in jail pre-sentencing, and also argued that the defendant is ‘a danger to the community’.
“’The defendant’s extensive history of violence — and his continued attempt to minimize his recent violent conduct — demonstrates his dangerousness and that he is not amendable to supervision’, they wrote. ‘The defendant utterly fails to establish by clear and convincing evidence, as required, that he does not pose a danger to the community’.”
