Overview

• U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian denied Sean Combs' bid to vacate the verdicts, rejecting a First Amendment claim tied to his filming.
• Prosecutors asked for at least 11 years and three months in prison and filed letters from Cassie Ventura and others who say they fear retaliation if he is released.
• The defense requested no more than 14 months, saying nearly 13 months in Brooklyn federal jail have changed Combs, and plans to show a 15-minute video with Combs expected to address the court.
• A court letter from Virginia Huynh, identified as “Victim 3,” says she is not a victim and that she felt pressured by prosecutors to present herself as one.
• A July jury acquitted Combs of sex-trafficking and racketeering but convicted him on two Mann Act counts, each carrying up to 10 years in prison.
