What’s The Rush? Diddy Pushes for Earlier Sentencing After Mixed Verdict
The courtroom may be done with the most dramatic chapters, but Diddy ain’t trying to sit around until fall.
As we previously reported, the Bad Boy founder was acquitted of the most serious charges—racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. But he wasn’t completely off the hook. He was found guilty of two lesser charges related to transporting individuals for prostitution.
Despite avoiding a life-changing conviction, the court denied his bail, meaning he’s still behind bars at MDC Brooklyn until his original sentencing date on October 3.
But apparently, Diddy’s not tryna chill in lockup until then. He’s now taking matters into his own hands—legally, that is.
Diddy’s Legal Team Sends Letter To Judge: ‘Let’s Move It Up!’
According to Rolling Stone, Diddy’s legal team just filed a new letter with the court requesting that his sentencing be moved up by nearly two weeks, setting it for September 22, 2025, instead of October 3.
In the letter, defense attorney Marc Agnifilo wrote the following to Judge Subramanian:
“Dear Judge Subramanian: The parties have met and conferred and have agreed to the following schedules for sentencing, post-verdict motions and submission of offense conduct to the Probation Office:
For sentencing, the defense proposes that the Probation Office provide the parties with a Pre-Sentence Investigation Report on or before September 5, 2025; that the defense sentencing memorandum and objections to the PSR be filed on or before September 8, 2025; that the Government’s sentencing memorandum and objections to the PSR be filed on or before September 15, 2025 and that the sentencing hearing take place on September 22, 2025. The Government does not object to this schedule, subject to the consent of the United States Probation Office.
For post-verdict motions, the parties propose that the defense file any post-verdict motions on or before July 30, 2025 and that the Government respond on or before August 20, 2025.
Finally, the Government requests that it be permitted to submit its summary of offense conduct on or before July 11, 2025, and the defense does not object. We appreciate the Court’s consideration. Respectfully submitted,
Marc Agnifilo.”
This move seems strategic—especially since Diddy received a standing ovation inside the Brooklyn detention center following the verdict. The message is clear: he wants to face whatever comes next and move forward.
Diddy along with his legal squad clearly wants to wrap this up and avoid further dragging out the trial in public court or headlines. Whether that’s out of confidence or fatigue? Only time will tell.
