Diddy Sentencing Breakdown: Prosecutor Explains What’s Really at Stake

Diddy Sentencing Breakdown: Prosecutor Explains What’s Really at Stake

This isn’t about guilt anymore. That part’s done.
Now the real weight kicks in.

Federal prosecutors want 11+ years behind bars. Diddy’s defense team wants 14 months and therapy. And the judge? He has to decide how much of Sean Combs’ past — and his power — should shape what happens next.

In this episode of Hidden Killers, criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins us to break down what this sentencing really means — not just for Diddy, but for the entire justice system watching what happens when celebrity, abuse allegations, and federal sentencing law collide.

We cover:

• 
  Why federal prosecutors are pushing to apply sexual abuse cross-references — even without a conviction on those charges
  
  
  
• What the victim statements from Cassie Ventura and others can legally influence
  
  
  
• Whether pretrial detention at MDC Brooklyn counts for anything
  
  
  
• If fame helps or hurts a defendant in front of a federal judge
  
  
  
• And how §3553(a) factors — like deterrence, public trust, and the message sent to survivors — shape sentencing far more than just the guidelines
  
  

We also explore what Diddy’s legal team might say in mitigation, whether allocution helps or backfires, and what the judge’s language on Friday could reveal — about this case and the system as a whole.

If you’re wondering why Diddy could walk with time served… or face nearly a decade in prison — this is the legal roadmap you’ve been waiting for.
