00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.759
Hey everyone, and welcome back to Exposed Scandalous Files of

2
00:00:03.799 --> 00:00:07.839
the Elite. I am your host, Jim Chapman, and as

3
00:00:07.960 --> 00:00:11.800
I promised I would say four months ago, I believe

4
00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:16.399
it's been since Sean Combs was found guilty. I told

5
00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:18.399
you that I was going to come back with a

6
00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:23.000
full update on the Trial of the Century and the

7
00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:27.800
sentencing of Seawan Combs. I did some thirty episodes on

8
00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:30.320
this trial as it was going down, and well it

9
00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:34.600
has all come down to this. The sentencing of Diddy

10
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:39.280
is in now. Quick catch up on what Shawn Combs

11
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:43.200
stood trial for and what he was actually convicted of. Now,

12
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:49.640
initially he was charged with the very serious charges of racketeering, conspiracy,

13
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:54.039
and sex trafficking, as well as the minor in comparison

14
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:59.719
charges of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution

15
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:04.719
under what's known as the Man m Ann Act. Now,

16
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:07.560
at the end of this trial, the two minor chargers

17
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:11.599
were the only charges that Sean did he Combs was

18
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:16.000
found guilty of. Now technically did he could be looking

19
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:21.000
at twenty years total in prison. Each count carries a

20
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:24.879
maximum sentence of ten years, and he's been in jail

21
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:27.519
for a little over a year at this point, so

22
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:32.079
regardless of what sentence he gets, he will get credit

23
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:37.040
for time already served. Of course, this entire time, this

24
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:39.760
a little bit over a year that he's been in jail.

25
00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:44.519
He has been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn,

26
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:48.760
New York, known as MDC Brooklyn. That is a federal

27
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:53.560
prison that is not exactly known for its five star

28
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:57.760
treatment of prisoners. Let's just say so, did he head

29
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:00.519
it rough, y'all in comparison to how is lot was

30
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:04.359
on the outside. Now he is still Shawing Ditty Combs,

31
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:07.799
And I'm sure he had some benefits of being Shawn

32
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:11.280
Ditty Combs even in prison, But those rough conditions may

33
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:15.520
be deservedly so in my opinion. So I'm recording this

34
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:18.520
on the day of the sentencing, October third of twenty

35
00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:22.439
twenty five, Friday, and in a letter to the judge

36
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:28.120
penned by Shawn Combes himself, just yesterday October second, twenty

37
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:33.280
twenty five, Diddy asked the judge for mercy, among other things.

38
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:35.319
I have that letter in front of me, y'all know,

39
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:38.000
I like to bring the receipts and give you the

40
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:40.719
full details. So I'm going to read you this letter

41
00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:45.919
quickly and again. This is from Shawing Combs to Judge Suburmanian,

42
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:49.360
and it starts I hope this letter finds you well

43
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:52.240
and in good health and spirits. Thank you for the

44
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:56.639
opportunity to express my thoughts to you. First and foremost,

45
00:02:56.719 --> 00:03:00.280
I want to apologize and say how sincerely, so sorry

46
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:02.280
I am for all the hurt and pain that I

47
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:06.639
have caused others by my conduct. I take full responsibility

48
00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:10.400
and accountability for my past wrongs. This has been the

49
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:13.759
hardest two years of my life. And he's also talking

50
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:17.840
about the investigation prior to him being in prison. I

51
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:20.639
have no one to blame for my current reality and

52
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:24.800
situation but myself. In my life, I have made mistakes,

53
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:27.639
but I'm no longer running from them. I am so

54
00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:30.280
sorry for the hurt that I have caused, but I

55
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:34.560
understand the mere words I'm sorry will never be good enough,

56
00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:38.599
as these words alone cannot erase the pain from the past.

57
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:41.599
Over the past thirteen months, I've had to look in

58
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:45.439
the mirror like never before. My pain has become my teacher.

59
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:49.360
My sadness was my motivator. I have to admit my

60
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:53.800
downfall was rooted in my selfishness. The scene and images

61
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:56.840
of me assaulting Cassie play over and over in my

62
00:03:56.919 --> 00:04:01.240
head daily. I literally lost my mind. I was dead

63
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:04.199
wrong for putting my hands on the woman that I loved.

64
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:07.680
I'm sorry for that and always will be. My domestic

65
00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:10.560
violence will always be a heavy burden that I will

66
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:15.520
forever carry. The remorse, the sorrow, the regret, the disappointment,

67
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:18.759
the shame. I honestly feel sorry for something that I

68
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:22.199
couldn't forgive somebody else for if they put their hands

69
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:24.519
on one of my daughters. This is why it's so

70
00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:27.399
hard for me to forgive myself. It's like a deep

71
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:31.800
wound that leaves an ugly scar. You're on her. I

72
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:35.279
thought I was providing for Jane concerning her and her child,

73
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:38.680
but after hearing her testimony, I realized that I hurt

74
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:42.439
her for this. I am deeply sorry. I lost my way.

75
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:45.800
I got lost in my journey, lost in the drugs

76
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:50.360
and the excess. My downfall was rooted in my selfishness.

77
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:53.839
I've been humbled and broke into my core. Jail is

78
00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:57.959
designed to break you mentally, physically, and spiritually. Over the

79
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:00.480
past year, there have been so many times that I

80
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:02.879
wanted to give up. There have been some days I

81
00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:06.240
thought I would be better off dead. The old me

82
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:10.560
died in jail and the new version of me was reborn.

83
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:14.160
Prison will change you or kill you, and I choose

84
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:18.399
to live every day since my incarceration. As difficult as

85
00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:21.560
my circumstances currently are, I made the best of my

86
00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:25.720
time by reading books, writing, working out, or in therapy,

87
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:28.759
obtaining tools in the knowledge to deal with my past

88
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:31.920
drug abuse and anger issues. I've been putting in the

89
00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:36.079
work and working diligently to becoming the best version of

90
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:39.680
myself to ensure that I never make the same mistakes again.

91
00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:42.600
I realize I am in a situation where no amount

92
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:45.920
of money, power, or fame can save me. Only God

93
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:48.720
can save me. My grandmother used to teach me that

94
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:52.240
God makes no mistakes and that everything he does is

95
00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:55.720
for your good. I believe that a bad situation can

96
00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:59.399
be used for good. Although this situation has been the

97
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:02.959
hardest and darkest time of my life, good things have

98
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:06.120
come out of my incarceration. For starters, I am now

99
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:09.439
sober for the first time in twenty five years. I've

100
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:11.879
been trying my best to deal with my drug abuse

101
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:15.800
and anger issues and take accountability as well as positive

102
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:19.160
steps toward healing. One of the most beautiful things I

103
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:22.399
have experienced is being asked by my fellow inmates to

104
00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:25.199
teach and mentor with them. They wanted to learn what

105
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:29.160
I did to become a successful businessman. I was inspired

106
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:32.439
by their hunger and desire to learn information in order

107
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:35.639
to not only set goals, but achieve any goal or

108
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:39.720
dream that their heart desired. I started teaching a six

109
00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:43.120
week program called Free Game, a title given by my

110
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:46.519
fellow inmates which I was able to have approved and

111
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:50.319
sanctioned by the Bureau of Prisons. I don't just teach

112
00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:54.600
about my success, I also teach about my mistakes and failures.

113
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:57.639
It has been a blessing to do something positive in

114
00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:00.879
such a negative situation. It has been beautiful to see

115
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:04.199
the newfound hope in my fellow inmates' eyes. The most

116
00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:07.120
shocking thing to see was the unity in the peace

117
00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:11.279
this class has produced. As you are probably aware, jails

118
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:15.439
and prisons are segregated places. However, in our class, we

119
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:20.000
have Black, Spanish, White, and Asian all together in one room,

120
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:23.240
learning and working together. We even have an interpreter for

121
00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:26.519
the Spanish speaking inmates. The biggest miracle that I've seen

122
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:28.920
in the class is all of the gangs such as

123
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:34.199
the Bloods, Crips, MS thirteen Trinitarios, in eighteen streets in

124
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:37.800
one room, working together. I'm also proud to say that

125
00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:40.560
since this class started, there have been no fights in

126
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:43.279
our unit. The class has also helped me in my

127
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:46.439
time of need and despair. Being able to do something

128
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:49.839
good for others has also given me much needed hope.

129
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:52.759
God has blessed me with this opportunity to help others,

130
00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:55.800
and I will continue to do so. I ask you

131
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:59.120
for mercy today, not only for my sake, but for

132
00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:01.720
the sake of my chill. God has blessed me with

133
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:05.680
seven beautiful children, three sons and four daughters. Their names

134
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:10.519
are Quincy, just In, Christian, Chance, Jesse, Daliah, and our

135
00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:13.839
newest edition, a two year old daughter Love. Four of

136
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:17.360
my children lost their mother, ken Porter, as she tragically

137
00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:20.560
passed away in twenty eighteen. I am their only parent.

138
00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:24.519
I failed my children as a father. My father was

139
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:26.879
murdered when I was just three years old, so I

140
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:30.319
know firsthand what it is like to not have a father.

141
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:34.200
More than anything, I just want the opportunity to return

142
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:37.639
home and be the father that they need and deserve.

143
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:40.159
God has blessed me with the greatest mother in the world.

144
00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:43.519
My mother sacrificed her life in dreams to provide for

145
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:46.559
me and my younger sister, Keisha. She worked three jobs

146
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:48.960
to make sure we had a roof over our heads,

147
00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:52.320
close on her back, in the best education. My mother

148
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:55.039
is now eighty four years old, and she recently had

149
00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:59.240
brain surgery. Despite her own health challenges, she has attended

150
00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:02.919
my trial every day. I've always been her primary caregiver.

151
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:06.559
It breaks my heart that I put myself in this situation,

152
00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:09.120
and for the first time, I'm unable to be there

153
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:11.879
for my mother when she needs me most. As I

154
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:14.840
write you this letter, I am scared to death, scared

155
00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:18.200
to spend another second away from my mother and my children.

156
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:21.159
I no longer care about the money or the fame.

157
00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:24.480
There is nothing more important to me than my family.

158
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:27.480
I understand the one factor the court has to consider

159
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:31.679
is deterrence. Deterrence for me and for others, to ensure

160
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:34.360
that no one follows in my footsteps and makes the

161
00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:37.679
same mistakes. For over a year, I have been locked

162
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:41.320
in one room with twenty five other incarcerated people sharing

163
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:44.639
the same one room. In this room that I share,

164
00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:48.159
there are no windows, there is no natural clean air,

165
00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:51.759
there is no sunlight, and we all live in one room.

166
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:56.440
We eat, sleep, use the toilet, take showers, and prepare meals,

167
00:09:56.559 --> 00:09:59.120
all in the same room. The conditions that my actions

168
00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:01.759
have placed me in are inhumane. I don't tell you

169
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:05.559
this for pity or sympathy. I'm simply sharing the truth

170
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:09.120
and the truth of my fellow incarcerated people. We have

171
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:12.919
no clean drinking water and we boil our own drinking water.

172
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:16.960
We all share one washing machine, which is broken. I'm

173
00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:20.200
surrounded by drugs and live every day with the constant

174
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:24.120
threat of being stabbed or losing my life again. I'm

175
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:27.519
not expecting pity or sympathy, but my time at MDC

176
00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:30.799
has changed me forever. Prior to being in jail, I

177
00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:34.039
took care of and was present for my family. Being

178
00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:37.080
in jail and because of my conduct, I lost the

179
00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:40.320
ability to care for my mother. I lost the ability

180
00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:43.960
to effectively raise and support my children. I've missed my

181
00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:48.000
three daughters proms and graduations. I've missed taking one of

182
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:51.240
my daughters to college. I've lost the freedom to teach

183
00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:54.360
my two year old how to speak, dance, play, or

184
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:57.279
be there to consult her when she falls down or

185
00:10:57.320 --> 00:10:59.960
has a nightmare. I started from nothing and worked on

186
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:03.879
hard to earn everything I had. But because of my conduct,

187
00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:07.679
I've lost all my businesses. I've lost my career, I've

188
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:09.919
lost the charter schools that I started, and I have

189
00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:13.480
destroyed my reputation and stained the reputation of those that

190
00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:17.159
work for me. I lost my being present with my family.

191
00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:20.879
Between all of my losses and lessons, I can state

192
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:23.519
for a fact that I will never be in another

193
00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:27.480
criminal courtroom again, and do not believe any other person

194
00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:31.320
would do anything similar from fear or similar punishment. If

195
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:33.000
you give me a chance, I would like to take

196
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:36.480
the opportunity to share my story with people to prevent

197
00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:39.279
at least one person from making the mistakes that I

198
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:42.279
have made. I can't change the past, but I can

199
00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:45.159
change the future. I know that God put me here

200
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:48.679
to transform me. Since incarceration, I have gone through a

201
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:52.320
spiritual reset. I'm on a journey that will take time

202
00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:55.399
and hard work. I'm proud to say I'm working harder

203
00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:58.200
than I ever had before. I'm committed to the journey

204
00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:02.960
of remaining a drug free, nonviolent, and peaceful person. I

205
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:06.679
thank God that I am stronger, wiser, clean, clear and sober.

206
00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:10.440
God makes no mistakes. I realize that this trial has

207
00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:14.399
received a tremendous amount of global price, and your honor

208
00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:17.080
may be inclined to make an example out of me.

209
00:12:17.559 --> 00:12:19.879
I would ask your honor to make me an example

210
00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:23.279
of what a person can do if afforded a second chance.

211
00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:25.840
If you allow me to go home with my family,

212
00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:28.840
I promise you I will not let you down and

213
00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:32.960
I will make you proud. Today, I humbly ask you

214
00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:36.879
for another chance, another chance to be a better father,

215
00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:40.519
another chance to be a better son, another chance to

216
00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:44.039
be a better leader in my community, and another chance

217
00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:47.039
to live a better life. I am writing this not

218
00:12:47.159 --> 00:12:51.000
to gain any sympathy or pity. This experience is simply

219
00:12:51.159 --> 00:12:54.320
the truth of my existence and has changed my life forever,

220
00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:57.879
and I will never commit a crime again. Thank you

221
00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:03.120
for your time and consideration, Shawn Combs. If nothing else, y'all,

222
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:08.080
I'd say that was pretty well written, probably everything the

223
00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:11.399
judge wanted to hear. Now, does Shawn Combs believe that

224
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:13.480
in his hard or is that all bullshit? Just to

225
00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:16.279
get out of jail. Only he knows him and God

226
00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:20.399
know the real truth on that. But I will say

227
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:24.360
it was very well written, very well said. But you

228
00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:33.840
have to pay for your mistakes, even if you regrut them. Jim,

229
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:36.440
did you see what happened in Texas today? Wait before

230
00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:38.720
you tell me that, Let me tell you what happened

231
00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:40.840
in New York. It cannot be as crazy as the

232
00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:43.519
case I told you about yesterday in Louisiana. You know what,

233
00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:46.720
we should do a podcast about it, and with that

234
00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:50.120
we did. Crime War Weekly covers the crime news headlines

235
00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:53.600
that have dominated the week. We cover trending crimes from

236
00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:57.559
all over the country and even sprinkle in a few globally.

237
00:13:57.759 --> 00:14:00.440
Crime War Weekly is available now wherever you listen to

238
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:04.559
your podcasts, simply by searching Crime Wire Weekly or clicking

239
00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:14.159
the link in the description of this podcast. In these

240
00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:17.519
letters to the judge, the typical of anyone who is

241
00:14:17.559 --> 00:14:21.320
facing sentencing. The judge is the one who hands down

242
00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:24.919
the sentence, and it's customary, it's not required, but it's

243
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:28.200
customary for that defendant to write a letter to a

244
00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:33.200
judge expressing remorse, which is what you see with this

245
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:36.639
letter now today as I was looking through the information

246
00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:40.679
in the sentencing today. It was interesting that there is

247
00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:43.840
a company in New York and the name of this

248
00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:49.159
company is called quote same old line Dudes unquote. That's

249
00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:50.879
a great name. When I tell you what they do,

250
00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:56.600
this company actually hires professional linesetters. So let me break

251
00:14:56.600 --> 00:14:59.360
this down to you. If you're a journalist, for example,

252
00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:01.759
and you want to in the courtroom for the sentencing

253
00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:04.799
in this trial, but you don't want to wait in

254
00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:09.600
line several days like this trial required, you have this

255
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:13.639
company and you hire them and they'll sit in line

256
00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:16.399
for you. You show up the day of just before they

257
00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:19.919
let people in the courtroom and boom, front row seat

258
00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:25.320
to the hottest sentencing of the century. Now, the same

259
00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:28.759
thing for concert tickets or anything else you may need

260
00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:32.039
to wait in line for sporting events, whatever. And if

261
00:15:32.039 --> 00:15:35.559
you're curious about how much it costs to hire this service,

262
00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:39.000
so I look that up to every four hours is

263
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:42.159
one hundred dollars. So twenty four hours in line, they'll

264
00:15:42.200 --> 00:15:44.879
wait twenty four hours in line for you for six

265
00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:50.519
hundred dollars. And this company is seen everywhere in line

266
00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:53.600
in the past couple of days for the Combs trial,

267
00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:56.200
and y'all, I'm going to upload a picture on the

268
00:15:56.200 --> 00:16:00.480
Patreon of the company set up. It is freaking cool. Man.

269
00:16:01.080 --> 00:16:04.279
These people have like one person tents and they have

270
00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:08.320
the logo of this company on the tents. And these

271
00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:10.919
tents keep them out of the weather and the elements.

272
00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:12.720
Now how they go to the bathroom, I don't know.

273
00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:14.960
Maybe they got a five gallon bucket and these little

274
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:19.080
one person tents. But the picture is absolutely one of

275
00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:23.159
the coolest things I've ever seen. It's actually a genius idea.

276
00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:25.919
They don't have nothing like that here in Louisiana that

277
00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:29.320
I'm aware of, but hey, who knows. It's got my

278
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:33.399
brain turning. I may start a line waiting business for

279
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:37.960
Louisiana wait for those LSU tickets and whatnot. But back

280
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:42.240
to it. Also, prior to the sentencing, both the prosecutors

281
00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:46.000
and the defense team they send recommendations to the judge. Now,

282
00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:49.639
especially as it relates to the prosecution, the judge takes

283
00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:53.440
that into consideration he can impose whatever sentence he wants.

284
00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:56.799
In this case, they make recommendations of what they want

285
00:16:56.879 --> 00:16:59.679
and both do it, the prosecution and the defense. And

286
00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:04.240
in the case of the prosecution, they're requesting eleven years

287
00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:08.480
in three months total for both counts, and the defense

288
00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:12.680
is requesting fourteen months, which is about the time did

289
00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:15.960
He's been in prison already, so it would be time

290
00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:18.960
served for Diddy and he would be released. Now at

291
00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:22.400
nine am, comes mother arrived, eighty four year old mother,

292
00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:27.599
poor lady at the courthouse, flanked by other family members.

293
00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:31.359
And an hour later, at ten am, Shawn Comb's entered

294
00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:33.440
the courtroom. And when I quote these times, these are

295
00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:38.160
Central Standard times, Louisiana times. Shawn Combs entered the courtroom.

296
00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:41.359
He was wearing a cream sweater with a white button

297
00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:45.039
down shirt underneath, and he had black pants on. He

298
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:49.640
hugged his legal team and he glanced over at his family. Now,

299
00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:53.799
shortly after that, the judge entered the courtroom and we

300
00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:58.440
got under way, and the judge came out. He confirmed

301
00:17:58.480 --> 00:18:01.279
that he had received letters from all sides, and he

302
00:18:01.400 --> 00:18:05.799
mentioned that he read all that material in full and

303
00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:09.240
in somewhat of a surprise. One of the ladies who

304
00:18:09.400 --> 00:18:12.440
testified in the trial, if you'll remember, she went by

305
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:16.079
the name Mia. She was scheduled to read a victim

306
00:18:16.119 --> 00:18:20.720
impact statement. However, it was announced at this time during

307
00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:24.319
the sentencing that she would not be doing that. Not

308
00:18:24.400 --> 00:18:28.640
sure what that meant. Maybe she just figured, look, he's

309
00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:30.480
going to get sentenced to what he gets sentenced to,

310
00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:32.160
and I don't want to go through any more of this.

311
00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:36.400
Maybe she was intimidated, have no idea, but she decided

312
00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:40.319
not to read her victim impact statement in the court room.

313
00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:43.720
Early on in the sentencing, the judge didn't that Comb

314
00:18:43.799 --> 00:18:47.720
still contends he was paying those escorts for their time

315
00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:51.559
and not for sex. And look, this judge ain't stupid.

316
00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:55.079
He knows did He didn't want to just spend time

317
00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:58.559
with a bunch of escorts. He wanted sex, and he

318
00:18:58.640 --> 00:19:01.519
wanted sex to be formed in front of him. And

319
00:19:01.599 --> 00:19:03.880
we've been through all that, so I want rehash it.

320
00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:07.400
But that's something he should have said. Okay, you know

321
00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:10.359
I wanted them there for the sex. He also needed

322
00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:14.480
that because Combs still refused to take responsibility for that,

323
00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:19.079
it would be a consideration when the sentences passed down.

324
00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:21.559
So at this point it ain't looking as good as

325
00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:25.839
it could have looked for Shawn Combs. The prosecution also

326
00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:28.960
reminded the judge that did he did much more than

327
00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:33.440
just transport people to engage in sex. They said, Combs

328
00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:37.920
did not deny abusing Cassie and said, quote, this type

329
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:42.279
of harm is real, deeply intimate, and very personal. And

330
00:19:42.279 --> 00:19:45.319
it's at this point that the court takes a five

331
00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:50.039
minute recess, and upon returning, Combs sees his family in

332
00:19:50.119 --> 00:19:53.720
the gallery and he makes the heart signal if you will,

333
00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:57.640
to his chest several times. The defense then had the

334
00:19:57.720 --> 00:20:03.559
opportunity to start their for a shortened prison sentence for Ditty,

335
00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:07.920
and they detailed several speaking engagements that he already had

336
00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:12.200
booked for October should he be released, and folks here

337
00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:16.720
they're attempting to paint a narrative that Ditty, should he

338
00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:21.920
be released, would be a productive member of society. They

339
00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:25.599
also pointed out what they turned as his many contributions

340
00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:29.039
to the world, especially as it relates to his effort

341
00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:32.359
to hire members of the inner City in New York,

342
00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:36.599
and they highlighted his work within the black community. They

343
00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:39.599
also highlighted what they described as a whole that would

344
00:20:39.640 --> 00:20:42.359
be left in the black community should did he be

345
00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:46.119
sentenced to an extended period of jail time. They said

346
00:20:46.119 --> 00:20:50.519
that although Diddy appeared larger than life, he's a human being.

347
00:20:50.960 --> 00:20:54.400
He makes mistakes, and they made note that Diddy is

348
00:20:54.440 --> 00:20:57.119
now cleaning sober for the first time in the past

349
00:20:57.160 --> 00:21:00.720
twenty five years, and the bad decisions that he had

350
00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:04.359
made throughout those twenty five years of his life were

351
00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:09.279
a direct result of drug addiction. Comb's children then address

352
00:21:09.400 --> 00:21:12.440
the courtroom, and of course they all pleaded for Combs

353
00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:14.440
to get a light sentence. And I can't blame them there.

354
00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:17.240
I mean, there are children here. I save this a lot.

355
00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:20.680
There are always victims on both sides of a crime,

356
00:21:21.240 --> 00:21:24.799
and it's in all cases the family of those that

357
00:21:24.880 --> 00:21:28.240
commit the crimes that are also victims. And they got

358
00:21:28.319 --> 00:21:31.759
up there they pleaded for his release and it was

359
00:21:31.839 --> 00:21:35.480
kind of an emotional moment, and at this point Sean

360
00:21:35.559 --> 00:21:39.400
Combs actually broke down for the first time in public.

361
00:21:39.559 --> 00:21:43.880
He just started bawling. He buried his face in his hands,

362
00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:48.200
started crying. And look, shame will make you do that.

363
00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:51.119
I don't care how strong of a human being you are.

364
00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:54.119
When you are so ashamed of yourself because you see

365
00:21:54.160 --> 00:21:56.759
what you have done for your kids, that will drive

366
00:21:56.880 --> 00:21:59.880
you to do what he did in that courtroom, which

367
00:21:59.880 --> 00:22:03.880
is just break down. And from all accounts it did

368
00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:07.319
appear genuine and not an act now. Incidentally, at this

369
00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:10.440
point in the sentencing, there are about thirty members of

370
00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:14.759
Combe's family inside the courtroom. After several people had spoke,

371
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:19.359
they broke for lunch, and after lunch, the defense continued

372
00:22:19.519 --> 00:22:23.319
and they said upon his release, Combs would go into

373
00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:27.160
immediate therapy and his plan was to go to Miami

374
00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:30.599
because that's where his mother lives and he would only

375
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:34.960
be steps away from her. They share properties in Miami

376
00:22:35.839 --> 00:22:38.440
and he could care for her. The defense also brought

377
00:22:38.519 --> 00:22:42.400
up in court what they call genuine psychological issues with

378
00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:46.160
Shawn Combe, saying he has long suffered from mental health issues.

379
00:22:46.240 --> 00:22:48.480
They claim it started with the killing of his father

380
00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:51.359
when he was just a child, and they stated that

381
00:22:51.559 --> 00:22:55.839
to this day he has PTSD because of it. Then

382
00:22:55.880 --> 00:22:59.680
it was Shawn Combe's turn to address the court, the

383
00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:04.880
first time he has spoken publicly since his arrest, and

384
00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:07.480
he was quoted as saying, I ask your honor for

385
00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:10.200
the chance to be a father again. I ask your

386
00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:12.599
honor for the chance to be a son again. I

387
00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:14.839
ask your honor for the chance to be a leader

388
00:23:14.880 --> 00:23:17.240
in my community again. I asked your honor for a

389
00:23:17.359 --> 00:23:20.000
chance to get the help I desperately need. To become

390
00:23:20.039 --> 00:23:23.039
a better person, because I don't want to let God

391
00:23:23.160 --> 00:23:25.799
down and I don't want to let my family down.

392
00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:29.079
He went on to say, I don't have nobody to

393
00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:32.680
blame but myself. I know I'll never put my hands

394
00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:36.119
on another person again. I know that I've learned my lesson.

395
00:23:36.200 --> 00:23:39.480
I'm willing to comply with any conditions the court puts

396
00:23:39.559 --> 00:23:42.519
upon me given the chance. When we talk about the

397
00:23:42.559 --> 00:23:45.880
possibility of me sharing my story, it's not just a

398
00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:49.200
scheme to try to get less time. It's that this

399
00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:53.079
story is real and this story is tragic. He then

400
00:23:53.160 --> 00:23:56.799
went on to say, sometimes, no matter who you were before,

401
00:23:56.920 --> 00:24:01.319
you get so shaken, it just changes your trajectory. It

402
00:24:01.519 --> 00:24:04.400
just changes you, and it changes you for the better.

403
00:24:04.519 --> 00:24:08.599
Sometimes you have to go through life experiences. These are

404
00:24:08.640 --> 00:24:11.880
not excuses. I can't change the past, but I can

405
00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:14.799
change the future. He went on to say, growing up

406
00:24:14.799 --> 00:24:17.559
as a kid, I wanted to be a shining example

407
00:24:17.680 --> 00:24:21.160
of what we could do. I say we as people

408
00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:24.759
of color, that we could own our own businesses, take

409
00:24:24.799 --> 00:24:28.160
care of our own communities, raise our own children, solve

410
00:24:28.200 --> 00:24:31.680
our own problems, create our own wealth, and take care

411
00:24:31.720 --> 00:24:35.640
of our own problems. That was my mission. I got lost.

412
00:24:36.119 --> 00:24:39.240
I'm not this bad person. I'm sorry to my community

413
00:24:39.400 --> 00:24:42.480
for letting y'all down. He then addressed his children and

414
00:24:42.519 --> 00:24:45.240
he said, I want to apologize to my seven children,

415
00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:48.079
and he turned around to face them in the gallery

416
00:24:48.279 --> 00:24:50.920
and name them, and he went through that and he said,

417
00:24:51.039 --> 00:24:55.319
y'all deserve better. He then addressed the judge again and

418
00:24:55.359 --> 00:24:58.039
he said, your honor gave me the confidence to believe

419
00:24:58.079 --> 00:25:00.319
in the jury and to believe that I I didn't

420
00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:04.240
have to testify. The jury came and sacrificed their time

421
00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:07.440
in the summer. They sacrificed time with their children, and

422
00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:10.960
I thank them for the not guilty verdicts. He discussed

423
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:13.960
the man conviction and he said, I don't take lightly

424
00:25:14.119 --> 00:25:17.960
my man Act conviction. I understand the severity of it,

425
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:21.000
and I'm having to deal with the consequences, and I

426
00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:25.799
take full accountability and responsibility. He then said, now I

427
00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:28.599
know the prosecution wants you to make an example of me.

428
00:25:28.839 --> 00:25:31.480
I just want you to think about making an example

429
00:25:31.519 --> 00:25:33.839
of what a person could do if they get another chance,

430
00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:36.400
if you give me another chance and won't let you down.

431
00:25:36.519 --> 00:25:39.759
And the evidence of that is these beautiful children that

432
00:25:39.920 --> 00:25:42.880
got up there and spoke for me. I would never

433
00:25:43.079 --> 00:25:47.279
ever ever jeopardize being in this situation again, being away

434
00:25:47.319 --> 00:25:50.839
from my family that needs me. That's my deterrence. And

435
00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:55.880
with that he completed his statement and the judge addresses

436
00:25:56.240 --> 00:26:00.599
Shawan Combs directly, stating that he wanted to start by

437
00:26:00.640 --> 00:26:03.680
making it clear that comes as being sentenced for the

438
00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:07.480
offenses of his conviction the man at charges, and not

439
00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:11.680
the sex trafficking and racketeering charges that he was acquitted of.

440
00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:14.480
He said he is considered the fact that Seawan Diddy

441
00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:18.599
Comb's is a self made artist and businessman who has

442
00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:22.680
inspired and lifted up communities and noted his work and

443
00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:27.279
impact or celebrated and even iconic. He said Comb's successes

444
00:26:27.359 --> 00:26:30.920
are even more impressive given the struggles of his childhood.

445
00:26:31.039 --> 00:26:35.279
Quote the drugs may have exasperated your iraq and violent

446
00:26:35.400 --> 00:26:39.119
behavior over the years, However, the court has to consider

447
00:26:39.279 --> 00:26:43.599
all of your history here. He noted that comes work

448
00:26:43.720 --> 00:26:48.200
history impact on the Black community in entrepreneurship are celebrated

449
00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:52.880
and iconic and said quote especially impressive giving the early

450
00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:56.359
violent death of your father and the trauma that that

451
00:26:56.440 --> 00:26:58.759
must have left you. The judge also said there's no

452
00:26:58.920 --> 00:27:02.000
question Shawn did he Combs as devoted to his family.

453
00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:06.359
The judge, however, said he rejects the defense attempt to

454
00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:11.359
characterize the freak Ass and hotel knights as intimate consensual

455
00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:15.680
experiences or just sex, drugs and rock and roll stories.

456
00:27:16.240 --> 00:27:20.039
Quote a history of good work cannot erase the power

457
00:27:20.039 --> 00:27:22.960
and control you had over the women you profess to

458
00:27:23.039 --> 00:27:28.240
love dearly. You use them physically, emotionally and psychologically, and

459
00:27:28.319 --> 00:27:31.519
you're used to getting your way. The judge added, I

460
00:27:31.599 --> 00:27:35.720
was sitting right here during the testimony from Cassie and Jane.

461
00:27:36.279 --> 00:27:38.680
He went on to say the court is not assured

462
00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:42.480
that if Diddy Combs was released, these crimes would not

463
00:27:42.599 --> 00:27:46.519
be committed again. He said that acts of sexual violence

464
00:27:46.559 --> 00:27:50.680
are unfortunately common, and a substantial sentence would be given

465
00:27:50.839 --> 00:27:54.079
to send a message to abusers and victims alike that

466
00:27:54.119 --> 00:27:58.680
abuse against women is met with real accountability. He noted

467
00:27:58.759 --> 00:28:02.000
that Sean Diddy comes out actions were serious offenses that

468
00:28:02.119 --> 00:28:05.680
harmed to women who still feel the effects today. Quote

469
00:28:05.680 --> 00:28:08.680
the conduct that curved for over a decade and with

470
00:28:08.839 --> 00:28:12.559
tremendous frequency over that time period. Why did it go

471
00:28:12.640 --> 00:28:15.599
on so long? Because you had the power and the

472
00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:19.480
resources to keep it going and because you weren't caught.

473
00:28:20.440 --> 00:28:25.599
And with that he imposed a sentence with Sean Diddy

474
00:28:25.680 --> 00:28:29.920
Combs being sentenced to fifty months or just over four

475
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:34.920
years in prison for his conviction on two counts of

476
00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:41.759
transportation to engage in prostitution. And there you have it.

477
00:28:42.039 --> 00:28:44.960
It all came down to that, and with his time

478
00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:48.480
served of a little over a year, he has about

479
00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:53.720
three years left. However, assuming that he keeps out of trouble,

480
00:28:54.480 --> 00:28:58.720
he's probably looking in the neighborhood of doing about half that.

481
00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:05.359
I wouldn't be surprised if Shawn Combs gets released maybe

482
00:29:05.920 --> 00:29:11.279
Christmas time next year or shortly thereafter, as seeming he

483
00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:15.119
has good behavior and all those sorts of things. But

484
00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:18.680
what are your thoughts? Was it not enough time? Was

485
00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:23.920
it too much time? Now? I took personally into consideration.

486
00:29:24.039 --> 00:29:25.960
This is hard to do because we know a lot

487
00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:29.160
about Shawn Combs outside of what he was convicted of.

488
00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:33.079
So it's hard to kind of say, Okay, let's just

489
00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:36.480
look at what he was convicted of and put everything

490
00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:39.119
else as if we knew nothing else about Shawn Combs.

491
00:29:40.279 --> 00:29:44.079
And when you do that, what he's essentially convicted of

492
00:29:44.240 --> 00:29:47.480
is flying in prostitutes for sex, and when you look

493
00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:50.240
at it on that frame, and he has two counts

494
00:29:50.240 --> 00:29:52.519
of that, when you look at that at that frame

495
00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:56.160
and nothing else, nothing else taken into consideration. Yeah, four

496
00:29:56.240 --> 00:30:01.519
years seems almost successive for basically for someone's flight when

497
00:30:01.559 --> 00:30:04.359
they agreed to it to come in and have sex

498
00:30:05.079 --> 00:30:12.000
with in his case, his girlfriend. So that and on

499
00:30:12.039 --> 00:30:15.559
its face does seem excessive, but it's exactly how a

500
00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:20.000
judge said in this case. You have to take his

501
00:30:20.240 --> 00:30:26.200
entire history into consideration when you do that. And I'm

502
00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:29.599
not talking about all the civil rapes and stuff that

503
00:30:29.640 --> 00:30:32.160
he's accused of, because he hasn't been convicted of any

504
00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:35.440
of that yet. But when you just kind of look

505
00:30:35.519 --> 00:30:39.200
at his history as it relates to all the other shit,

506
00:30:39.440 --> 00:30:41.960
the abuse and things that he was doing. He's on

507
00:30:42.119 --> 00:30:46.039
video beating the shit out of Cassie, those sort of things.

508
00:30:47.119 --> 00:30:49.839
I think he got everything he deserved, and he probably

509
00:30:49.880 --> 00:30:53.400
should have got more. He could have got eleven years.

510
00:30:53.440 --> 00:30:57.839
He actually is lucky he had a defense team that

511
00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:02.599
really dominating a lot of aspects of this trial, in

512
00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:06.839
my opinion, but he could have done all eleven years

513
00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:09.640
that the prosecution was asked for Hell, he could have

514
00:31:09.680 --> 00:31:14.559
done twenty technically, so he's really getting off easy. But

515
00:31:14.720 --> 00:31:18.079
considering the charges he was convicted of, that's all I'm

516
00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:22.200
looking at when I say this. Maybe even a little

517
00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:27.880
excessive for that, but with his history, he deserved every

518
00:31:27.880 --> 00:31:30.799
bit of it. That's my opinion. Love to hear yours,

519
