A judge sentenced Diddy to 4 years in prison. Here's everything that went into it. Sean 'Diddy' Combs' appeal could be the first test of a U.S. Sentencing Commission guidelines amendment that says judges can't consider acquitted conduct.

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ appeal of his 50-month prison sentence could be the first test of a change in federal sentencing guidelines that prohibits the consideration of acquitted conduct.

Much more in my article: www.legalaffairsandtrials.com/p/a-judge-se...

Judge Subramanian has rejected Sean “Diddy” Combs’ motion for acquittal / new trial.

Sentencing is scheduled for Friday at 10 am in Manhattan.

Entire opinion: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This quote from Cassie “I hope that your decision considers the truths at hand that the jury failed to see” hits on a big issue at Diddy’s sentencing: Federal judges are no longer allowed to consider conduct in acquitted charges when sentencing.

Cassie’s victim impact statement:

“If there’s one thing I’ve learned from this experience, it’s that victims and survivors will never be safe.”

New tonight:

Prosecutors are recommending 135 months in prison for Sean “Diddy” Combs.

That’s 11 years and 3 months.

Cardi B is on trial in an assault lawsuit, and the judge let jurors ask their own questions Closing arguments are scheduled Tuesday morning in a state superior court trial over a lawsuit from a former security guard at a medical center in Beverly Hills in 2018.

Los Angeles-based lawyer Lou Shapiro told me allowing jurors to submit questions for witnesses happens on occasion in both criminal and civil cases in Los Angeles County Superior Court but is “not so common.” www.legalaffairsandtrials.com/p/cardi-b-is...

The judge in Cardi B’s civil assault trial let jurors submit questions for witnesses that he reviewed before asking himself.

Jurors had zero questions for Cardi.

I am covering it extensively on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube!

I’ve never seen a judge ask a defendant if they’re OK with their lawyers’ cross-examination plans like Judge Stephen Everett did with Donna Adelson in her murder-for-hire trial today.

This afternoon should be interesting. www.youtube.com/live/mD3ltF6...

The lawyers defending Cardi B in her civil assault trial are Lisa Moore of Atlanta and Peter Anderson of LA.

They won the trial in 2022 over her album cover a lawsuit said wrongly used a man’s distinct back tattoo.

I’m impressed by the multiple camera angles in the Adelson murder-for-hire trial live stream. And it’s Florida, so we get to see even the gallery filling up.

Here’s the defense closing argument.

Attorney Manny Arora told jurors they should be embarrassed that prosecutors brought the case.

Hernandez Govan was declared not guilty on murder and conspiracy to commit murder.

Full order from U.S. District Judge Rita F. Lin: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

A judge overseeing a lawsuit against Sean Diddy Combs that includes comedian Druski as a defendant may sanction plaintiff attorneys for standing by the claims against Druski despite evidence she says shows "no objectively reasonable factual basis to continue to accuse him."

"That's why today we humbly, humbly pray for exoneration of Mr. Daystar Peterson. Thank you very much."

I’ve been informed that the judge is actually Henry Newkirk, not Leftridge like the name plate says.

A jury in Atlanta today acquitted a man of all charges related to the fatal shooting of a sheriff's deputy, but the judge who read the verdict initially said they found him guilty.

"I apologize for my mispronunciation," Fulton County Superior Judge Melynee Leftridge said.

Yeah, X is terrible, but has anyone been on LinkedIn lately and seen how some of the lawyers are talking?

“I respectfully disagree with the views of these greedy sociopaths who are ruining the world, but I admire their efficiency and ability to get things done.”

“Accordingly, even assuming the facts alleged in the petition are true, petitioner falls to allege facts establishing a prima facie case for habeas relief.”
