Sean "Diddy" Combs is facing sentencing on October 3, with prosecutors planning to present a list of offenses, including those for which he was acquitted. This list will detail allegations of violence and drug use, referenced during a lengthy trial. Defense attorney Teny Geragos acknowledged Combs' issues but argued that domestic violence does not equate to sex trafficking. Acquittals on coercion charges do not shield Combs from prior admissions affecting his sentencing, as judges often consider such past conduct.
Prosecutors are drafting a confidential "summary of offense conduct" that will include allegations of drug use and domestic violence for which Combs was acquitted.
More than a dozen prosecution witnesses described violence and drug use during the two-month trial, highlighting Combs' temper and past drug issues.
Defense lawyer Teny Geragos admitted that Combs had a temper and would become violent when using alcohol or drugs, but argued these were not part of the sex trafficking charges.
Judges can consider prior bad acts during sentencing, raising concerns over the impact of Combs' admissions on potential sentencing outcomes.
