Sean “Diddy” Combs has submitted A letter to the judge asking for mercy less than 24 hours before he will be sentenced in his federal case.
The mogule wrote a four-sided letter to Judge Arun Subramanian who asked for relief in his verdict. “First and foremost, I want to apologize and say how sincerely sad I am for all the harm and pain that I have caused others of my behavior,” he wrote. “I take full responsibility and responsibility for my previous errors.”
In the letter Combs says he understands to say “I’m sorry” will “never be good enough” because the words “cannot delete the pain from the past.” He reflects on his time in prison for the past 13 months, stating that “the scene and the pictures of me attack Cassie playing again and again in my head daily. I literally lost my mind.”
He explains that he has agreed with his previous behavior and takes responsibility for it. “I lost my way. I got lost in my journey. Lost in drugs and the surplus. My downfall was anchored in my selfishness. I have become humble and broken to my core. Prison is designed to break you mentally, physically and spiritually. You – I choose to live.”
Combs asks for mercy from the judge and says he wants to be a good father of his seven children and CV is the primary caretaker for his sick mother. “Today I humbly ask you for another chance – another chance to become a better father, another chance to become a better son, another chance to become a better leader in my community and another chance to live a better life,” he said. “I write this to not get any sympathy or sin, this experience is simply the truth in my existence and has changed my life forever and I will never commit a crime again.”
Earlier this week, prosecutors in the case of Combs were sentenced to at least 11 years in prison on his two transport bills for prostitution. This afternoon, Comb’s lawyers strengthened their request that Combs be given 14 months, which would free him at the end of the year, including the already served time. On Tuesday, judges denied the Subramanian Comb’s request for a new trial or acquittal.
Combs are scheduled to be sentenced tomorrow at 10 o’clock. He is expected to speak directly to the judge during the verdict.
