From ‘time served’ to decades in prison, Diddy’s sentencing is expected to be dramatic.
As we approach the sentencing in the blockbuster criminal trial of disgraced rap mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, it arises that his defense wants Judge Arun Subramanian to sentence him to ‘time served’, meaning that he’d go free a few days after the sentencing.
Diddy has been detained over a year in Brooklyn MDC federal prison after his arrest in September 2024.
The New York Post reported:
“’In the past two years, Mr. Combs’s career and reputation have been destroyed. He has served over a year in one of the most notorious jails in America — yet has made the most of that punishment’, his lawyers wrote to the court. ‘It is time for Mr. Combs to go home to his family, so he can continue his treatment and try to make the most of the next chapter of his extraordinary life…It is the only just and fair sentence that could be imposed’.”
Diddy dodged the possibility of a life sentence by getting acquitted on the racketeering and sex trafficking charges.
“But the fallen rap icon still faces up to 10 years in prison after he was convicted on two counts of breaking the Mann Act, a federal law making it a crime to transport someone across state lines for prostitution.”
Judge Subramanian will rule on how long the convicted rapper will spend behind bars.
It’s relevant to remember that during his decision of not granting bail to Diddy after the verdict, the judge showed how low his opinion of the defendant is.
Defense lawyers insisted Diddy was only guilty of domestic abuse, and were able to convince the jury that all the sexual encounters were consensual.
“The salacious case shed light on Combs’ taste for ‘freak-offs’ — grueling, drug-fueled sex marathons in which he watched his girlfriend perform sex acts with male escorts — and revealed the brazen steps he took to hide his physical abuse of his lovers from the public.”
Diddy will be back in court for a hearing on Thursday morning, while federal prosecutors will make their own sentencing recommendation to the judge by next Monday.
