Sean 'Diddy' Combs’ Lawyers Say He Is a Changed Man. Will that Spare Him From More Time Behind Bars?

Rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs was convicted of two prostitution-related transportation charges but was cleared of racketeering and sex trafficking accusations in a federal court in Manhattan on Wednesday.
The verdict followed an eight-week trial exposing Combs' years of violence and bullying, including a video of him attacking Casandra Ventura in March 2016 and testimony from a second victim, Jane, injured in June 2024.
Despite the verdict, Judge Arun Subramanian denied bail citing Combs' violent history, signaling that he will hold Combs accountable when sentencing, tentatively set for October.
Combs’ lawyer Marc Agnifilo claimed Combs has changed dramatically and is working on himself, stating that he was 'given his life back' by the jury and 'would be nothing short of a fool' to spoil that, while victims fear he poses ongoing danger.
Prosecutors argue guidelines recommend four to five years in prison considering Combs' convictions and violent past, while advocates call the verdict disastrous for survivors and warn of Combs’ continued threat.
