1 00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:04,240 Speaker 1: All right, guys, let's talk about it. Did He had 2 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:08,680 Speaker 1: his sentencing hearing on Friday, and the prosecution's opening arguments 3 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 1: revealed that did He seem so confident that he would 4 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 1: be released on time served that he had already booked 5 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:23,640 Speaker 1: speaking engagements for the following week. What so, the federal 6 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 1: prosecutor stated that quote, even now at sentencing for his 7 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: conviction for two federal crimes, Diddy hasn't fully grappled with 8 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,159 Speaker 1: how his actions got him here. His respect for the 9 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:43,159 Speaker 1: law is just lip service. Your thoughts, guys, Well, he. 10 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 2: Ain't gonna make an interview, that's for sure. 11 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, speaking engagement, speaking again, that's probably all. 12 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: That's all. I think he ain't gonna make it, you know. Yeah. So, 13 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: following the prosecutor's statement, members of Didty's family and his children, 14 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 1: even Didty himself addressed the court. Did He called his 15 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: actions quote disgusting, shameful, and sick, and he asked the 16 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: judge for mercy. The judge told Diddy that quote the quote, 17 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: the court is not assured that if released, these crimes 18 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: will not be committed again. That's an unquote, he then said. 19 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 1: He then sentenced didd He to fifty months in prison 20 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: four years and two months. He will receive credit for 21 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: the approximately thirteen months he has already served in jail, 22 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 1: and this means that he would be released in twenty 23 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: twenty eight. Did He was also fined five hundred thousand 24 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:44,119 Speaker 1: dollars and will have five years of supervised release After 25 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: his sentencing. Did He turn to his family, tapped his 26 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: heart and told them quote, I love you, I'm sorry, 27 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: I'll be okay. As he gathered his papers and was 28 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: escorted out by court martials. Did He's attorneys told U, 29 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: which you say, no, No, go ahead, go ahead? Oh 30 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: I was just going to say. His attorneys told various 31 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: news sources that the judge's ruling is unconstitutional because the 32 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: judge used the word coercion at at least a dozen 33 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: times during the sentencing hearing, and even though a jury 34 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: had found there was no coortion. Did He's attorneys say 35 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: they have a strong basis to appeal did he sentence. 36 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:24,239 Speaker 1: So there you go. It will be in prison for 37 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: more years. 38 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 3: See for me, I don't celebrate the demise of anybody. 39 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 3: I'm not you know, I don't celebrate. But here's the 40 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 3: thing that I've learned, especially as you get older, it's consequences, 41 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 3: and the older you get, it seems to me like 42 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 3: the more severe the consequences. That's from my own experience. 43 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,839 Speaker 3: That's what I think. And something my father in law 44 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 3: says all the time about sin. Sin costs you more 45 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 3: than you want to pay. It makes you stay longer 46 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 3: than you want to stay. And I think that's very 47 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 3: appropriate in this case right here. You know, I don't 48 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 3: know why you would book a speaking engagement and possibly 49 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 3: let it like like, ain't nobody gonna find out? You know, Hey, man, 50 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 3: Puffy gonna be down at the jail night center next Friday. Yeah, yeah, Puffy, 51 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 3: And he like, yeah, he getting out? Man. Yeah. So 52 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 3: I thought that was crazy. But you know, and for 53 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 3: people that's talk about that's not enough time. You know, 54 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 3: I'm not in the judicial system. Here's my opinion about it. 55 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 3: Four years is a long time. I don't care who 56 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 3: you are. I don't care who you are. Four years 57 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 3: is a long time, especially when you've been living the 58 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 3: life he been living. It's hard for anybody. You take 59 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 3: a cat man take once you lose your freedom for 60 00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 3: four years, that man, that's hard. Man. I don't care 61 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 3: what nobody said. 62 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 2: You know, yeah, I mean, I think the judge he 63 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 2: sent a message that when he was doing the sentencing 64 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 2: and he said to Cassie, you know, this message to 65 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 2: you is I heard you, we heard you, we heard 66 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 2: you speak up. And so that's a yeah, that's a 67 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 2: message for some of the victims as well. No matter 68 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,479 Speaker 2: the length. I mean, I hear what you're saying, Steve, 69 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 2: about the length, but at least the judge acknowledged her 70 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 2: testimony and what she had been through. 71 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 3: So no, you know, and like I'm just talking about 72 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 3: the length. I'm not saying it's justified or unfaired, none 73 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 3: of that, because hey man, you know, had you not 74 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 3: done any of this, you be at the house, that's all. Yeah, well, 75 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 3: you know. 76 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: And the other thing is about the length, Steve, you know, 77 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: it's supposed to change you in some way, you know, 78 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: hopefully for the better in this case, because all the 79 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 1: s stuff that came out in court that he did that, 80 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: you know that that's a lot.
