In just 10 days, be they combs – also known as Puff Daddy or Diddy – will know its destiny. On October 3, the judge will decide the penalty imposed on the musician and businessman after his media judgment, who resulted in a conviction for. But before the magistrate made his decision, he is receiving different influences from the parties. Among them, of the rapper’s mother.
Janice Comink, 84, has written a letter to Judge Arun Subramanian, to beg him to give freedom to his son and to spend his last years with him. “He has made some terrible mistakes in his life,” says Janice about Sean, “and I know he is aware of them.” The lawyers are trying to achieve a reduced conviction for the rapper, who does not exceed two years.
As explained by the exprofesora and ancient model, his son went through many traumatic moments in his life, including the death of his father, when he was barely two years old, and that of his uncle, turned into almost a father figure, at nine. “On December 21 I will turn 85,” writes Janice in the letter. “This separation during the last year, while they have been imprisoned, it has been terribly difficult and painful I would like to spend the last years of my life with my son are.”
The letter is part of the memorandum that the legal team has delivered to Subramanian, and it has been known this Tuesday, when just over a week is missing to know what will happen to combs. In addition to Janice, also the singer’s children have written support letters, dozens of them, according to. With all that material, lawyers are looking for a lighter sentence for the musician.
For his part, Justin Combs, eldest son of the rapper – has seven, with four different women – has assured in his letter that his “life has been incomplete” from the. “My father is not perfect. I know he has committed failures, I do not deny it. But I will not allow those failures to erase the truth about who he is: a affectionate and present father who has introduced into my brothers and in me the importance of respect, to honor women and remain firm in the face of adversity.” Christian combs, also rapper and that, he tells in his letter that his father “does not deserve to be in jail.” “In this family we have spent years of lies, discrimination and dehumanization,” he says hard, “of loneliness, separation and extreme stress. This is my father, and is the best father in the world.”
He has also maintained that “he is not a perfect man, but a father dedicated to his children”: “He loves us and would do everything for us, we are the ones who can help him to heal. We can help me learn from his mistakes.” His daughter Chance says she has been “very hard” not to have his father at home: “Some of my brothers have no mother, and now they miss their father figure. We miss him deeply and need his presence.” Among those sisters without a mother are the twins D’Alila and Jessie, daughters of Porter, who have also resorted to the most personal letter: “There is no mother or dad to those who go when we are sad, happy, excited, nervous, stressed, alone, anxious, overwhelmed or depressed. This world can be very bad and when people try to sink you need to go to your father have”.
According to lawyers, combs should spend between six and twelve months in jail for each of the two crimes for which he has been convicted, which would mean a maximum of 24 months. , therefore, at most, another would happen between bars, if what your legal team wants is fulfilled. Trying to present combs as a model prisoner, they claim that he wants to meet that penalty with drug use as well as with therapy, individual and group. Hence that complete memorandum, to which media have had access such as People And, where it comes to presenting the best face of the tycoon. They do not have it easy: it has been accused by more than 100 people of harassment, abuse and violations, including, for years.
The lawyer Marc Agnifilo, who leads the case, affirms that his client has managed to be sober for the first time in 25 years, and that he has inspired other cellmates to follow a program to stop drinking alcohol. He also argues that, in addition to not having a history, his file is free of incidents. In addition, it seeks to make Subramanian see that being between bars has been extremely his reputation and his family, which depends on him to survive. Everything in the same attempt to sell to the judge Diddy’s good behavior, to get his client to leave the prison as soon as possible.
After a long trial that lengthened for almost two months, finally on July 2 a jury declared them to be guilty of two crimes, the two. Instead, they did not find him guilty for the other two positions for sex trafficking or for leading a criminal organization. During his group reflection, the jury acknowledged having difficulties to reach, which is difficult to demonstrate and needs to meet an extensive list of requirements. That could have assumed the life imprisonment to combs; Those of sex trafficking, 20 years each.
Transportation crimes to exercise prostitution can mean up to 10 years in jail each. As it has been known, the Prosecutor’s Office will require between 51 and 63 months in prison (between four and five years), while for lawyers the penalty should be between 21 and 27 months in jail. The final decision will be known on October 3.
