Speaker 2 (00:03):
Now I'm Sidney Sumner. Sean Combs is headed descendencing in
just a few hours. The rat mogul will learn how
much longer he will remain behind bars at the Brooklyn
Metropolitan Detention Center. While defense attorneys want just fourteen months,
the Feds ask the judge to put Combs away for
eleven years. Prosecutors argue Combs is clearly unrepentant and has

(00:24):
left his victims living in fear. They asked that his
sentence reflect the decades of psychological, emotional, and physical damage
Combs has inflicted. Finally, the US attorneys remind the judge
Combs is not the victim and the court should focus
on the very real effects Comb's conduct had on the
lives of actual victims. The court is still receiving letters
of support and opposition from those close to the case,

(00:47):
several incoming letters from Comb's fellow inmates. Now his students listen.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Colmbs has now offered a six week class free game
with Ditty. Combs is teaching the power of positive thinking,
dealing with failure, goal setting, and other business strategies. The
syllabus says the course offers exclusive insights into the journey
of Sean Diddycomb's tracing his rise from humble beginnings to
a globally recognized icon. In mays say, Comb's has done

(01:13):
magical things for them, teaching them discipline and consistency, inspiring
them to change their views on life, and getting them
to focus on bettering themselves.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Comb's students fawn over his teachings in letters to the judge. Quote,
I know by applying myself in this class, it will
help me become self aware of my negative behavior unquote.
Another right's Comb taught him to always hold himself accountable,
to have self discipline, and to always be consistent in
his actions. A third says, based on Comb's teachings, the

(01:43):
rap muggul deserves his freedom, adding the Combs isn't made
for the MDC.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
While Combs has requested to address the court in person,
he also submitted a letter to Judge Sue Romonian reflecting
on his criminal past. Combs admits he was shocked to
learn how Jane is a Noonmos his ex girlfriend really
felt about their relationship, and blames his downfall on his
selfishness sadness. In life of Excess, Combs claims he sometimes

(02:09):
believed he would be better off dead. When confronting the
harm he has caused, Combs begs the judge for mercy,
asking Supermanian not to make an example of him with
a stiff sentence, but to make him an example of
what a person can do with a second chance. In
the same breath that Combs takes full accountability and responsibility
for his past wrongdoings, he complains about the conditions at

(02:30):
the MDC, calling his incarceration inhumane though he has no
one to blame for it but himself. Combs argues he
has been sufficiently punished for his crimes. While ex girlfriend
Gina Huen, the prosecution's missing victim three, has written a
support letter claiming Combs never victimized her and deserves leniency,

(02:51):
Several others have voiced harsh disagreement.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
Several Combs's victims have written to the court urging against
leniency for the rap. Mogul Cassie and her parents assist
since Mia and Capricorn Clark, stylist Deontae Nash, and personal
chef Jordan Atkinson have all implored the judge to consider
their safety the full measure of Combs's harm and Combs's
troubling lack of accountability as he hands down a.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Sentence, Cassie bends an emotional three page letter to Judge Subermonium,
recalling that the entire world watch footage of Colmb's kicking
and beating her as she tried to run away from
a freak off. Cassie says though defense attorneys called her
relationship with Colmb's a great modern love story, nothing could
be further from the truth. It was a horrific decade

(03:36):
stained by abuse, violence for sex, and degradation from which
she still suffers horrific nightmares and flashbacks that require psychological care.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Cassie writes that if Sean Combs walks from the NDC
in less than a month, his first action will be
swift retribution against her and all those who spoke up
about his abuse. At trial, Cassie says she has real
fear for her family's safety. Moved out of New York
for their protection. Cassie insists the Colms she knows, the manipulator,
the aggressor, the abuser, the trafficker, is still who he

(04:08):
is today and he has no interest in changing or
becoming better. Other witnesses also wrote in Jordan.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Atkinson tells the judge she has serious fears for the
safety of everyone who acted as a witness in the
federal case. Atkinson writes, I know Sean Combs to be
a very dangerous and spiteful man with a long memory
and a panache for payback. Atkinson calls Combs a master
manipulator and says she does not believe he can ever

(04:35):
be rehabilitated, even calling for Combs to be banished to
the middle of nowhere after serving the maximum sentence for
each conviction.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
Comb's former assistant, Mia writes about the impact of the
years of abuse she suffered from Combs and reliving it
all on the stand. Mia comments on the leak of
her true identity, saying her name is no longer her
own and will forever be linked to her abuser. Mia
asks the judge to deliver a senti that reflects the
full measure of harm that he has caused the years
of coercion, financial abuse, humiliation in both physical and sexual violence.

(05:08):
Mia requests she be allowed to deliver her impact statement
in the court room. Colmb's defense team staunchly opposes mea
providing a victim impact statement in open court mark Agnifhilo
insists that Mia is not a victim of anything in
her entire testimony at trial as an outright lie down
to her voice and demeanor on the stand. Prosecutors concede
that Mia is not a victim of the crimes alleged

(05:30):
in Comb's convictions, but Judge Supermanian allows the statement, pointing
out the defense will have a fair opportunity to respond.
It's unclear if any other victims plan to speak at
the hearing, or if the court will only be hearing
from Comb's and Mia. Both prosecutors and the defense will
have a chance to argue for their proposed sentence. Defense
attorneys plan to show the court a fifteen minute video

(05:52):
in support of Combe's release in roughly a month's time.
While Judge Subermanian will take all arguments into consideration, the
decision lies solely with him. For the latest crime and
