Prosecutors Gobsmacked Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Booked Speaking Engagement Before Learning His Sentence

Sean “Diddy” Combs has already made plans for next week even as he awaits sentencing that could see him behind bars for 11 years, MSNBC reported.

Reporter Rehema Tellis said from outside the courthouse, “A moment ago, the prosecution began making its argument for what they hope will be an 11-year prison sentence for Combs. They just said that combs has booked a speaking engagement in Miami for next week. According to the prosecution, he says that is, ‘The height of hubris. That is the opposite of the rule of law.’”

Host Ana Cabrera was taken aback by Combs’s plans.

“Booking speaking engagements as soon as next week already? It certainly tells you where he thinks this is headed,” Cabrera remarked.

In July, a jury found Combs guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He was found not guilty of racketeering conspiracy and two charges of sex trafficking.

Tellis said the defense is expected to argue that Combs should be released “basically on time served. They want him to be given only 14 months, as far as a prison sentence. He…has been in jail in a detention in Brooklyn for 13 months. So as I say, it would be essentially time served. So they’re going to make that argument. And then, perhaps, we would hear from combs before we hear from some family members and others.”
