Currently Sean “Didi” Combs learned its sentence in court

Three months ago, Sean “Didi” Kombs fell to his knees in a Manhattan courtroom after jurors in New York had acquitted him of sexual traffic and racketeering.

“I’m going home,” he said, turning to stand up to his family, who supported him every day of the test.

On Friday, a muted version of hip-hop tycoon was sitting without emotion and still in his chair, as the judge sentenced him to more than four years in prison.

After Judge Arun Submanian finished reading his sentence, the rapper turned to look at his family and appeared on the mouth of the words: “I love you, I’m sorry.”

It was a quiet moment to celebrate the end of a chaotic eight -week test that forever changed the image of the public of Combs – once one of the most famous rappers in the world. The jury saw graphic videos of the so -called “freaks” of Combs – sex parties, which he filmed with the participation of hired male companions and his former Cassandra Ventura and “Jane”, an anonymous victim. They also saw a video, which was previously viral, defeated Ventura in the hotel corridor.

In July, a panel of 12 New Yorkers justified the 55 -year -old combs for allegations of sex and racketeering – who carried the potential of life in prison – but found it guilty of transportation to get involved in prostitution.

His lawyers hoped that he would leave prison in a few weeks, asking the court a 14 -month sentence, 13 of which he had already served.

Prosecutors have accused Kombs of leading a criminal endeavor to force women in unwanted and sexual acts, nourished by drugs. Although he was justified for those who are the most serious of these accusations, sex and racketeering, they have requested a sentence of over 11 years in prison.

In the end, Judge Subramanian told a decreased comb that crimes and his abuse with his ex -girlfriends had set up 50 months in prison.

As he told the court that Combs used his fame and power to “subjugate” his victims, the music tycoon did not seek, remaining without an expression for the judge’s 20-minute speech. His entourage of over 30 family members was crowded in the courtroom behind him.

During the hearing throughout the day, the court listened to hours of speeches from several of its lawyers, his children, a pastor and a defender of the reform of criminal justice, who told the court that a Combs had changed and a sober person after detention.

They also watched a video compilation from his legal team, which shows him with his children, as well as with the funeral of his ex -girlfriend Kim Porter, the mother of some of his children who died in 2018.

The court, however, was not heard from the victims themselves after a person who plans to speak, Mia, a former Kombs assistant who testified anonymously, took out after the defense wrote a letter calling her a liar.

Submanian called the letter “inappropriate” and thanked the “strong women” for making allegations against combs, telling them that they were not “just talking to 12 men and women in the box of jurors.”

Instead of his own statements on Friday, Submanian read several of the victims’ remarks from the testimony, telling Combs: “These were serious crimes that irreparably harmed two women.”

The combs itself turned to the court for the first time since the beginning of its trial.

Breating a great sigh before he got to read his speech, he prays with the judge for “mercy”.

He read with glasses from a piece of paper in front of him, trying to keep contact with his eyes with the judge until he said to him, “I have no one to blame himself.”

He burst into tears as he turned to stand up to his family and tell his mother, “I ruined you like a son.”

This was not the first time the tears were shed during the hearing.

Many of the Kombs supporters called out as six of his seven children came to the podium to ask the judge for a slight sentence, telling him that they needed their father. The three daughters and three sons huddled with their hands, wrapped around each other, while several of them were crying as they spoke with the judge.

The judge said during his sentence that he had taken into account the CombS family relationships, but said he should also take into account the damage he had caused to his two victims.

The crimes were serious, he added, noting that they had taken place even after a federal investigation and a video leak, which shows him that he was beating Ventura in the hall of a hotel.

“History of good deeds cannot wash your record,” he said.

But he told an alarmed Kombs, which twice tilted his head up and sighed, at the end of his sentence in prison there was light.

“G -N -Combs, you and your family, you will go through it,” he said.

When the judge was made, speaking his speech, Combs quickly nodded to his dozens of family members and friends before sliding quietly back through the door to be returned to a federal prison in Brooklyn.
