DIDDY TO WALK FREE?

Sean Combs wants out of jail.

His attorney suggested the judge release the convicted rapper on time served. Combs will be sentenced next week. Combs’ attorneys argue that the government’s case relied on extremely “inflammatory” evidence to obtain the convictions on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution that would not have been admitted to court had Combs only been prosecuted under the Mann Act.

Prosecutors disagree that the issue warrants Combs a new trial, claiming there are no legal grounds for the judge to overturn the convictions, and Combs should be sentenced on October 3rd.

Should attorneys fail to convince Judge Subramanian he should be acquitted or granted a new trial, Sean Combs will face sentencing on October 3.

Combs could potentially be jailed for more than 20 years if the court adds aggravating factors suggested by the government.

Prosecutors initially said they would suggest 4-5 years imprisonment, but later indicated they would be seeking a substantially longer sentence. Meanwhile, Combs’ attorneys argue he should receive no more than 14 months, amounting essentially to just time served.

Diddy’s defense sentencing packet describes several reasons the music mogul deserves a light sentence. Diddy claims 6–12 months per count accurately reflects the severity of the crimes, and he’s already spent 13 months in deplorable conditions at the MDC.

Diddy cites his incident-free stay, newfound sobriety, and founding an ‘entrepreneurship’ class behind bars as additional reasons for a short sentence.

Combs also wants his freedom back as quickly as possible so he can return to supporting his seven children and 84-year-old mother.
