Sean Diddy Combs' Lawyers Seek Immediate Release After 13 Months Incarceration

Sean "Diddy" Combs' legal team is urging for his immediate release ahead of his October sentencing, arguing that the more than 13 months he has already spent in Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center constitute sufficient punishment. The attorneys describe harsh and inhumane conditions during his incarceration, including constant suicide watch with round-the-clock lighting, limited access to clean water, exposure to maggot-infested food, and lack of fresh air or sunlight, which have taken a significant toll on his physical and mental health. They emphasize that Combs was acquitted of the more serious sex trafficking and racketeering charges, and that a lengthy sentence would be disproportionate to his conviction on two counts related to transportation for prostitution. His defense highlights his personal transformation, including sobriety after 25 years and the creation of an impactful business management program for fellow inmates. Additionally, the team underscores the significant professional and personal fallout Combs has suffered, such as the cancellation of a Hulu show, loss of honorary degrees, removal from charter school boards, and damage to his legacy and reputation. Over 75 letters of support from family, friends, and associates accompany the sentencing memo, portraying Combs as a changed man deserving of leniency and a chance to rebuild his life.
