Lawyers for the former music mogul filed to appeal his conviction on prostitution charges and four-year prison sentence.
Sean “Diddy” Combs is wasting no time in filing an appeal on his conviction of prostitution charges and four-year prison sentence.
The Bad Boy founder had requested a 14-month sentence, which would have allowed for his release shortly after trial due to time already served, while prosecutors pushed for a term exceeding 11 years. Ahead of his September sentencing hearing, Combs expressed remorse for his actions.
“My actions were disgusting, shameful, and sick,” Combs said. “I got lost in excess, I got lost in my ego.”
“In my life, I have made many mistakes, but I am no longer running from them,” Combs wrote in a letter to the judge. “I am so sorry for the hurt that I caused, but I understand that the mere words ‘I’m sorry’ will never be good enough, as these words alone cannot erase the pain from the past.”
Though he begged the judge for “mercy” and apologized to two of the women who testified against him, he received the four-year sentence. At the time, his lawyers shared their plans to appeal the conviction and prison sentence.
