Sean 'Diddy' Combs' sentencing set for Oct. 3 after split verdict in federal sex crimes case
Sean "Diddy" Combs will be sentenced in his federal criminal case on Oct. 3, after probation officials rejected the defense and prosecution's plan to move the date up by about two weeks.
A conviction on racketeering conspiracy or sex trafficking could have put him in prison for life.Prior to Tuesday's hearing, Combs' lawyers and prosecutors filed a joint letter proposing a Sept. 22 sentencing date, subject to the consent of the U.S. A short time later, they filed a second letter stating that all parties — including the probation office — were on board with the Oct. 3 date Subramanian originally proposed.Combs got a standing ovation from fellow inmates when he returned to jail after the verdict last week, Agnifilo said. Prosecutors contend that the guidelines, when properly calculated to include Combs' crimes and violent history, call for at least four to five years in prison.Combs' punishment is Subramanian's decision alone, and the judge will have wide latitude in determining a sentence.
