Diddy back in court for pre-sentencing hearing
Sean "Diddy" Combs returns to court for a hearing that could help decide how long the Grammy-winning producer will stay in prison. FOX 5 NY's Briella Tomassetti has the latest details.
Prosecutors said he arranged paid sexual encounters between his girlfriends and male sex workers. Each count carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.
Diddy's lawyers push for no more than 14 months
Dig deeper:
His lawyers have urged Judge Subramanian to sentence him to no more than 14 months, arguing he has already endured harsh punishment. "Mr. Combs’s celebrity status in the realms of music, fashion, spirits, media, and finance has been shattered and Mr. Combs’s legacy has been destroyed," they wrote in their submission.
The defense also described Diddy’s life in custody as harrowing, citing threats from other inmates, constant suicide watch, and degrading conditions that included maggot-filled meals and no access to fresh air.

"Mr. Combs has not breathed fresh air in nearly 13 months, or felt sunlight on his skin, often walking with a limp due to a painful knee injury that requires surgery," they wrote. They also claimed that his meals sometimes contain maggots.
Prosecutors, however, are expected to push for a much longer sentence, pointing to what they call Diddy’s "extensive history of violence" and his efforts to minimize his conduct.
Judge Subramanian is set to issue the sentence on Oct. 3, a decision that will determine whether Diddy returns to a jail cell or steps outside a free man.
