Diddy's Emergency Appeal for Release
Update: 2025-12-27
Description
Sean Combs, aka Diddy, is fighting for his immediate release from federal prison, filing an emergency motion with the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. His lawyers argue his fifty-month sentence violates constitutional rules by disregarding parts of the jurys verdict from his July 2025 trial. Combs was convicted on two counts under the Mann Act but acquitted on major charges like racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. His legal team claims the judge played thirteenth juror, basing the sentence on rejected charges, which contradicts modern sentencing guidelines. The appeal emphasizes recent advice from the U.S. Sentencing Commissions chair, urging judges not to enhance penalties for unproven conduct. This emergency push over the holidays could reshape sentencing when juries reject main accusations, as everyone awaits the appeals courts decision.
