Overview

• Combs’ legal team filed a late-Monday memo asking for a total 14-month sentence—effectively time served—plus supervised release with mandatory drug treatment and therapy.
• Prosecutors are due to submit their recommendation by September 29 and have said a substantial prison term is warranted, noting guidelines that top out around five and a quarter years.
• The filing details conditions at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, alleging constant suicide watch, limited clean water and crowded dorm-style housing as factors warranting leniency.
• In July, a Manhattan jury acquitted Combs of racketeering and sex trafficking but convicted him on two Mann Act counts, each carrying a maximum of 10 years.
• Judge Arun Subramanian scheduled sentencing for October 3 and a separate hearing Thursday on Combs’ motion to set aside the convictions; he remains in custody after a prior bail denial.
