Sean ‘Diddy’ Was Acquitted of Charges During His Trial
While Combs was found guilty of transportation to engage in prostitution, he was acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges during his trial.
Prior to his sentencing, federal prosecutors argued Combs deserved at least 11 years in prison. Meanwhile, his lawyers asked for their client to be sentenced for no longer than 14 months.
Meanwhile, Combs wrote a letter to the judge overseeing his case before his sentencing was determined.
“In my life, I have made many mistakes, but I am no longer running from them,” he wrote in the letter, per CNN. “I am so sorry for the hurt that I caused, but I understand that the mere words ‘I’m sorry’ will never be good enough as these words alone cannot erase the pain from the past.”

While the recent filing did not explain the grounds on which Combs’ appeal will be based on, his attorneys previously argued the conviction should not stand because the statute does not apply.
