The Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs blockbuster trial concluded two weeks ago, yielding convictions on prostitution charges while clearing the mogul rapper of the sex-trafficking and racketeering counts.
Diddy was denied bail by Judge Arun Subramanian and awaits his October 3rd sentencing in prison.
In the meantime, it arises that he has joined jail self-improvement programs at Brooklin MDC jail, aimed at ‘curbing drug use and violence against women’.
Diddy’s Lawyers and some of his fans see that as progress, while reports call it ‘a blatant bid to land less prison time’.
The New York Post reported:
“’It’s a tale as old as time’, former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani told The Post on Tuesday.
He faces a maximum of 20 years behind bars at his Oct. 3 sentencing, though he’ll likely get a far lighter sentence somewhere in the potential range of 15 months to five years because of more lenient sentencing guidelines.”
TMZ has reported that the ‘freak-off’ enthusiast has entered the STOP Program in Brooklyn’s MDC lockup, aiming to work on ‘his history of violence toward women’.
Diddy reportedly hopes the treatments will help him to improve himself, but the expert interviewed by NYP begs to differ.
“The self-described ‘cynical’ and ‘jaded’ Rahmani said he sees the programs as Combs’ and his defense team’s effort to clinch a lenient penalty on the disgraced music mogul’s day of judgment. ‘These are calculated legal and PR moves’, said Rahmani, now a criminal-defense lawyer.”
Rahmani believes that Diddy wants to show Judge Subramanian that he has accepted responsibility, is willing to change, and is not going to re-offend.
“’I’m completely cynical. This is all gamesmanship’, the attorney said. Combs’ lawyers ‘are doing their job. They are trying to minimize their client’s [sentencing] exposure’.”
Judge Subramanian will have the final say in his sentencing. Diddy’s lawyers argue that the applicable guideline range is 15 to 21 months, while prosecutors say it should be at least four to five years.
“The federal probation department will also make a determination for where it believes the guidelines lay for Combs when they weigh in factors such as criminal history. The judge will ultimately take the opinions from the prosecution, the defense and probation to determine what he believes the guidelines should be set at.”
