Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs\u2019s attorneys have outlined a lengthy list of reasons they believe he should be given a reduced prison sentence next month.
\nOn Monday, Sept. 22, the legal team filed a 182-page sentencing memo advocating for the music mogul, 55, to serve no more than 14 months in prison for the two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution convictions he received on July 2.
\nIn the filing obtained by PEOPLE, his lawyers stated, \u201cIt is the only just and fair sentence that could be imposed.\u201d
\n\u201cMr. Combs\u2019s near-13 months in prison has been life changing, productive, and a testament to his desire to return to his family and community and lead the best life possible,\u201d his lawyers stated. \u201cHe has taken the time to achieve necessary rehabilitation from day one at the MDC [Metropolitan Detention Center] \u2014 including getting clean of all substances.\u201d
\nThe sentencing memo detailed Diddy\u2019s life story, including his father\u2019s murder when the rapper was only 3 years old and the \u201cviolent\u201d relationships he had with his ex-girlfriends, who were involved in his convictions.
\nRecalling the \u201cprofound form of trauma\u201d he\u2019s experienced throughout his life, Diddy\u2019s lawyers also emphasized his struggle with \u201cserious substance abuse.\u201d

\n\u201cLike every addict, his behavior while on painkillers was erratic and unpredictable, and often the reason behind any assaults discussed at the trial,\u201d the filing obtained by PEOPLE states.
\nThe lawyers noted that since being imprisoned, Diddy has become sober for the first time in years. They claim he is now \u201cinspiring and helping\u201d other inmates.
\nThe sentencing memo included that the Bad Boy Records founder has no prior criminal history and that he has seven children and an elderly mother who are reliant on him.
\n\u201cHe has served over a year in one of the most notorious jails in America\u2014yet has made the most of that punishment,\u201d the filing obtained by PEOPLE states. \u201cIt is time for Mr. Combs to go home to his family, so he can continue his treatment and try to make the most of the next chapter of his extraordinary life.”
\n“A sentence no greater than 14 months is plainly \u2018sufficient, but not greater than necessary\u2019 to accomplish the purposes of sentencing\u2026,” the filing adds.

\nProsecutors have recommended that Diddy receive a 51 to 63 months sentence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
