Sean “Didi” combs asks a judge for mercy before the sentence

Convicted rap tycoon Sean “Didi” Combs wrote a letter to the judge, observing his criminal process, asking for leniency during his sentence on Friday and blamed his past behavior in drug addiction.

In the four -page letter, he apologizes “for all the injuries and pain I have caused” and said he was reformed after spending 13 months in prison in Brooklyn.

The letter on Thursday comes hours before his hearing for a sentence at 10:00 ET (15: 00gmt) on Friday.

In July, he was found guilty of two prostitution charges and is now facing up to 20 years in prison. Prosecutors are looking for a sentence of at least 11 years, but Kombs’ lawyers want him to be released later this month.

In his letter to Judge Arun Submanian Combs, he apologizes for being attacked by his ex -girlfriend, singer Cassandra Ventura, writing: “I literally lost my mind.”

“I’m sorry for that and it will always be,” he continues. “My domestic violence will always be a heavy weight that you will have to carry forever.”

He also apologizes to an anonymous woman who testifies during the process under the name “Jane” and says he was “lost in drugs and surplus.”

“I lost my way,” he wrote. “My fall was rooted in my selfishness. I was humble and broken to my heart.”

The prosecutors of the comb also wrote to the judge, describing how he had his power and influence in order to ruin their lives and their fears that he would seek revenge if he was released.

“I’m so afraid that if he releases himself, his first actions will be a quick retribution to me and others who have talked,” G -Ventura writes.

She added that she believes that he deserves a long sentence, writes: “He has no interest in changing or becoming better. He will always be the same cruel, hungry for power, manipulative man as he is.”

In his letter, Combs describes the teaching class of prisoners of “What I did to become a successful businessman”, describing himself as an altered person who is now sober for the first time in 25 years.

“The old I died in prison and the new version of me was reborn,” he writes.

Greb continues to ask the judge for mercy, “not only for me, but also in the name of my children.” He asked the judge to examine his seven children and his 84-year-old mother, who has recently undergone brain surgery.

He notes that the judge may be tempted to set an example from him and instead asks that a “what a person can do if a second chance can be made.”

Combs is also expected to speak in court on Friday before the referee will expose his sentence. Four of his lawyers are also planned to talk, and his defense team also plans to show a 15-minute video. It is not clear what the video may include.

In July, a court hearing acquitted him of the most severe accusations: racketeering and trafficking in sex – which could lead to the fact that he was spending the rest of his life behind bars. He was found guilty of two transport charges to get involved in prostitution.

Prosecutors say he is “unknown” and claims that the rapper should spend a minimum of 11 years in prison.

“The defendant is trying to rewind decades of abuse as a mere function of mutually toxic relations,” prosecutors wrote on September 29. “But there is nothing mutual about one person holding all the power and the other ends bloody and bruised.”
