Overview

• Sentencing is scheduled Friday in Manhattan federal court, and Sean Combs remains held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
• Prosecutors are asking for 11 years and three months in prison, while the defense proposes 14 months that would put him close to release with time served.
• On the eve of sentencing Combs wrote to Judge Arun Subramanian admitting domestic violence against Cassie Ventura, describing jail as transformative and pleading for leniency.
• Ventura told the court she remains afraid of Combs and fears swift retaliation if he is released.
• Judge Subramanian previously rejected defense bids to overturn the verdict or grant $50 million bail; Combs was convicted on two counts tied to compelled prostitution, acquitted on trafficking and RICO, with a statutory maximum of up to 20 years.
