Diddy Combs: Appeal Granted, Sentence & Jail Life

Sean 'Diddy' Combs granted fast appeal after his 50-month sentence. He's serving time at FCI Ft. Dix. Appeal challenges Mann Act use. Timeline set for briefs and arguments.

Combs’ Incarceration at FCI Ft. Dix

FCI Ft. Dix, where Combs is now offering his sentence, is a low-security federal stockade in New Hanover Township in New Jersey. It was the ex-mogul’s top selection because of its distance to his household home and a rehab program that could see him housed outside of the basic populace. It houses approximately 4,000 inmates. Today, Combs was found on video camera chatting and laughing with the other inmates housed at the center, according to TMZ.

Throughout sentencing, attorneys for Combs looked for time served of 14 months for their client– time which Combs served at the Metropolitan Improvement Facility, an infamous lockup in Brooklyn– while he was waiting for test. The prosecution asked the judge to sentence Combs to no less than 11 years and 3 months.

Appeal Granted in Sex Trafficking Case

Days after he was transferred to a government jail in New Jersey to finish his 50-month sentence, Sean “Diddy” Combs has actually scored an additional legal win when a court granted him a fast charm, essentially handing his group of legal representatives every little thing that they would certainly asked of the court.

“Sean’s charm will test the unfair use of the Mann Act, an infamous law with a scurvy history, to prosecute him for sex with consenting grownups,” defense attorney Alexandra Shapiro stated in a declaration released recently. Throughout the sentencing stage of Combs’ test, his attorneys looked for a narrow interpretation of prostitution and suggested that, as he did not benefit in all from the sex that he was accused of persuading in between male prostitutes and 2 of his partners, there was no trafficking that occurred.

In a brief note on Monday, United State Circuit Court Judge Beth Robinson accepted the request from Combs’ legal group, that wish to conserve their customer from jail time after the surprise sentence handed down by the federal judge who managed the fallen rap mogul’s sex trafficking and racketeering trial, which competed eight weeks and ended with a split verdict that saw Combs condemned by court of transportation for prostitution, an offense of the Mann Act. He was spared a possible life sentence when found not guilty of the much more significant fees.

Legal Team’s Strategy & Timeline

The possible allures schedule timeline recommended by the court has Combs’ brief due by Dec. 23 and the united state federal government’s quick set up to be provided by Feb. 20; Combs’ lawful team’s reply schedules by March 13. According to Judge Robinson, dental debates would certainly happen in early April if the routine remains on track.
