Diddy’s lawyers get out properly to get a short prison sentence for the rapper & producer
The lawyers of Sean “Diddy” Combs have urged the responsible New York federal judge to limit his punishment for two prostitution complaints to prison no more than 14 months. You justify this with serious drug problems Diddys.
Recommendations of the editorial team
In July 2025, the US rapper and producer was guilty of prostitution in two charges, as reported, among other things, “NME”. However, it was acquitted of the allegations of organized crime and human trade for the purpose of sexual exploitation. He did not guilty in all five charges. Overall, he threatens a maximum of 20 years in prison.
On September 22, Combs’ lawyers presented their arguments in a written statement to judge Arun Subramanian, as also said “NME”. The judge had previously rejected a proposed $ 50 million deposit. The lawyer’s team now asked him to impose a lower prison sentence, followed by a suspended sentence with drug therapy and group advice.
Drug problems due to childhood trauma
Combs’ team argued that the “difficult trauma” that Combs suffered in his childhood after the death of his father had caused the path for later drug problems, which occurred during his admittedly violent relationships with the two ex-partners involved in his convictions.
“For decades, Mr. Combs fought with severe drug problems, anger and anxiety disorders as well as other weaknesses, which he did not tackle appropriately and professionally until his detention last year,” the American “Rolling Stone” said. “As with every addict, his behavior under pain relievers was unpredictable and unpredictable and often the reason for the attacks discussed in the process.”
However, there is no concrete information about the drug problems. Combs has been in custody since September 2024.
A typical “sex, drugs and rock’n’roll history”?
Abc continued from the argument of the indictment: “Without Mr. Combs’ behavior, in many ways it is a ‘sex, drugs and rock’n’roll’ story.” And further: “Mr. Combs had severe drug problems throughout the crime and maintained an excessive celebrity lifestyle.”
Elsewhere in her statement, Combs’ lawyers argued that the jury in Manhattan has already given the judge an important sign by acquitting him from the most serious charges. “In short: the jury spoke. Their judgment is a ‘affirmative indication of his innocence’,” said the lawyers according to “NME”. “He spent over a year in one of America’s most notorious prisons – and yet made the best of this punishment. It is time for Mr. Combs to go home to his family so that he can continue his treatment and try to make the best of the next chapter of his extraordinary life.”
The prosecutors on the other hand, who will present their recommendations before the judgment on October 3, have already stated that they will be pushing to have Combs detained much longer than the originally planned four to five years.
