Judge says he doesn't see a reason to deviate from advisory sentencing range

Judge Arun Subramanian said the advisory sentencing range is 70 to 87 months — or between just under six years to just over seven — in prison, and he said he doesn’t see a reason to deviate from that range.

The judge also said guidelines allow the court to impose a fine ranging from $25,000 to $250,000.

Prosecutors are now giving their statement, and the defense will have a chance to present afterward.

"Driscoll said the defense identified four cases in which “Johns” were convicted and sentenced for Mann Act conduct. The average sentence for those defendants was 6.7 months, he said."

So how is the probation dept saying 6-7 years?

"Defense’s strategy: Combs’ legal team released a documentary-style video at the eleventh hour that includes a montage of clips showing Combs’ charity work and family. The video, as well as a letter from Combs, stand in stark contrast to continuous efforts by his defense, which has repeatedly stated Combs is not guilty and was targeted unfairly by the government."

Wow amazing that a sentencing argument where the court has to weigh specific factors that mitigate and contrition on the convicted accounts stands in "stark contrast" to his closing argument to the jury where he was arguing he shouldn't be convicted.

Judge Arun Subramanian, however, said he “rejects the defense’s attempt to characterizes the ‘Freak Offs’ and hotel nights as intimate consensual experiences or just a ‘sex drugs and rock ‘n’ roll’ story.”

“A history of good works can not erase the power and control you had over the women you professed to love dearly. You abused them physically, emotionally and psychologically and you used that to get your way,” he said.

The judge added, “I was sitting right here” during testimony from Cassie Ventura and “Jane.”

Judge Arun Subramanian said the court is “not assured” that if Sean “Diddy” Combs was released that “these crimes will not be committed again.”

He said that acts of sexual violence are unfortunately common, and “a substantial sentence must be given to send a message to abusers and victims alike that abuse against women is met with real accountability.”

Maybe my expectations were warped by that 85 year old judge’s lengthy screed about the KKK and DRUMPF
