Next: My name is Giovanni Sairras, for Re-entry One. We serve a couple of hundred people per year. I have read the letter of those impacted by the teaching and mentorship of Mr. Sean Combs. As a formerly incarcerated person myself, I see the impact
Giovanni Sairras: When a person creates his own program while incarcerated, it shows something. I know. I've done it. Not even a parking ticket since. I work with Probation. I speak at many different functions with the private prison operator that we work with
Giovanni Sairras: Judge, we are eager to work with Mr. Combs in the same way. We have established engagements in communities in need. Lastly, our mission is centered in the idea that those closest to the problem will solve it.
Judge: Okay, thank you very much.
Combs' Steel: This was a voluntary sexual encounter, consented to by adults. I agree with Ms. Shapiro. This is issue preclusion, double jeopardy, a due process violation.
Combs' Steel: We ask Sean to be able to have a 14 month sentence. He has taken full accountability. He's not using d*** addiction as a crutch. He is saying he wants to repair, he will never be a danger. He is a civil rights leader.
A civil rights leader?????? Diddy Mandela huh
Didn’t realize sentencing could take so long
Combs' Agnifilo: It's getting late, I'll be brief. I started in the Manhattan DA's Office in 1990. We mostly had to put people in jail. In 1996 the Center for Court Innovation started. John Jay did a lot of studies. DV tends to some from childhood trauma
Combs' Agnifilo: Doctors found that Sean had PTSD. He grew up with out a father. His father was murdered when he was a baby. The family didn't tell him how his father died. But he picked it up from the street. He gave a commencement address at Howard in 2014
Didn’t realize sentencing could take so long
It usually doesn't but because the sentencing is basically up to the judge and there is such a huge range for this charge (from a couple months to 10+ years)
both sides are doing their best to make a case for how much time Diddy should get
Combs' Agnifilo: He found in the microfilm there how his father died, in a d*** deal gone bad. Maybe that's the trauma. He had major depressive disorder. OK. I'm going to sit down in five minutes, then Ms. Slavik, and Mr. Combs, the last word

Makes sense

Here we go
yea
the quote was from Michael Jordan's mom and it went more like "A shoe is just a shoe until my son steps into it"
That's a bar
The judge asked Diddy if he had any last words before sentencing.
Diddy just replied in a singing voice: “Can’t stop, won’t stop”
The judge proceeded to sentence him to 12 years in prison.

Combs' Agnifilo: I am asking you to release him today. He has been punished, publicly. Everyone knows every twist and turn in this case. This is also a form of general deterrence. The publicity that he got. Ms. Ventura's lawsuit, it destroyed his businesses
Combs' Agnifilo: We are proposing mental health treatment, a domestic violence program. Sometimes group programs are the best. October is domestic violence awareness mind. I'm not asking for a light sentence. I'm asking for mental health, the root problem

ain’t no way that’s real
ain’t no way that’s real
Don't you know who his uncle is? Of course its real.
Agnifilo is done
Prosecutor Slavik is going to make his final case and then Diddy will get the last word
Combs' Agnifilo: I'll stop here and turn it over to the Government. I think it's only fair that Mr. Combs has the last word.
Judge: Ms. Slavik?
AUSA Slavik: Going back a few hours to Mr. Driscoll. We have cited cases with sentences of 135 months, based on abuse
AUSA Slavik: Back to the Dillon Jordan case. Let's zoom out: why did Judge Cronan take into account the previous sentence? Because Jordan knew it was wrong. He quit the business before he was prosecuted - here, the defendant continue crimes
AUSA Slavik: Pimps control their victims, that's what happened here. $1.4 million would be 90 some freak offs. There were more than that here. Mr. Driscoll challenged us to find abusive texts like he quoted. But this case has physical abuse, on video
Fingers crossed it’s the death penalty
🤞🏾
But ngl, the s***ty conditions of that jail is sweet retribution 😋

Damn, really wishing we could watch this right now
