The Diddy Trial: Diddy And His Legal Team Move Swiftly To Appeal His Sentencing (10/6/25)Update: 2025-10-06
Description
Sean “Diddy” Combs’ legal team has filed notice of appeal following his conviction on two federal counts of transporting individuals for prostitution under the Mann Act. His attorneys argue that the verdict was inconsistent with the sentencing, claiming the judge improperly considered conduct the jury had rejected — particularly allegations of coercion — to impose a harsher penalty. The defense contends this violated Diddy’s constitutional right to a fair trial and effectively turned the judge into a “13th juror,” overriding the jury’s findings. They are seeking either a full reversal of the conviction or a new trial.
The appeal will also challenge several procedural rulings from the eight-week trial, including evidentiary decisions and jury instructions the defense claims were prejudicial. Diddy was sentenced to 50 months in federal prison and fined $500,000 — far less than the 11 years prosecutors had sought, but still viewed by his team as excessive given the acquittals on other charges. The appellate process will now move to the Second Circuit, where his attorneys plan to argue that the sentencing exceeded the lawful scope of the jury’s verdict and that key testimony was improperly admitted.
