After a-week jury trial ended with Sean “Diddy” Combs being found ‘not guilty’ for the most serious charges against him on Wednesday, his attorneys requested that he be released and allowed to return to his Miami home until his sentencing, claiming “continued detention of Mr. Combs is inappropriate.”
However, a judge has ruled that Diddy isn’t going anywhere yet.
From CBS News: Sean “Diddy” Combs will remain detained after a jury found him guilty Wednesday of transportation to engage in prostitution in his high-profile trial in New York City. The music mogul was acquitted of the more severe charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking.
Judge Arun Subramanian said he denied bail for Combs because he disagreed with the defense’s argument that the crimes shouldn’t trigger mandatory detention. Combs was convicted of two counts of prostitution-related charges. Each count carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.
Combs will get 10 months credit for time served so far, the judge said Wednesday, proposing a sentencing date for Oct. 3.
Prosecutors previously said their preliminary calculations indicate Combs should get at least 51 to 63 months imprisonment on the two convictions, or a sentence of roughly four to five years.
