Of which he’ll serve no more than 30 days, tops. With his lawyers, turning over his passport is the only repercussion he’ll get today, take a mugshot, and pay the chump change bail. His lawyers have already reached out to Trump for a pardon. The judge is of Indian descent, in New York/Eastern District and was appointed by Biden, so at the risk of this post being sent off to the pit: The pardon just needs DJT’s crazy signature and tweets about how corrupt Biden, the judge and judges in general, especially the East where they were very mean and unfair to him, are. ---

My opinion is that he will not be pardoned, he will be made an example of. May not serve the full term but he best get used to the idea of 3 or 4 years in prison. ---

> [@Dallas\_Jones](#): > > May not serve the full term but he best get used to the idea of 3 or 4 years in prison . Diddy’s is already granted about a year of time served. Minus good behavior, he’s probably out by summer 2028. ---

My money is on a Trump pardon. This is exactly the kind of pop culture-nothing to do with presidential concerns-attempt to appeal to unlikely voters that he could accomplish with his dumb signature. ---

He’s got some time served, I believe in the same place as Epstein. Yet he’d have given up his passport, mugshot and paid the bail for the appeal and should be cruising Manhattan now. Trump has several reasons for a pardon: Corrupt Biden appointee thus corrupt judge in the mean Eastern District. He doesn’t have to refer to Indian descent of the judge or anything in particular about the case. Diddy is pardoned. Signed ∀∇ ¥ ♘☇⅄ | | | --- | | | | --- | | | | --- | | | | --- | ---

Via BBC: > Combs has been held for 13 months at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where he and several high-profile defendants have complained about horrific conditions. > > The centre is a jail, meaning defendants are only held there while they await trial and sentencing. > > Combs will now be moved to a federal facility. > > Which facility he is moved to is up to the Bureau of Prisons, though both legal sides and the judge can make recommendations. > > “Diddy has to be isolated from the general population for his safety because he’s a celebrity inmate, so that may limit the facilities he can be housed in,” said former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani. The Met Center in Brooklyn is apparently as cruddy as the Manhattan one so at least for tonight, sucks to be him, even as a “Celebrity Inmate” If only there was someone who could pardon him. ---

I was surprised he was even in a detention center yet he did beat prostitution and other charges that could have led to a life sentence back in July. I know it’s California and not the Eastern Reich District, yet wasn’t OJ out on bail? Even after the Bronco fleeing? He deserves what he’s getting now. He’ll be _real good_ after the pardon. ---

Martha Stewart was sentenced for some vague stock fraud to five months and served it all Jordan Belfort (“Wolf of Wall Street”) served 22 months of 4 years Bernie Madoff (biggest pyramid scheme ever) was released after 12 years of his 150 years when he died. Murder (and conspiracy of murder?) are irrelevant in the ol’ time east-west hip-hop rivalry shootings. Tupac Shakur was shot in a drive-by in New York in 1996 and lived to accuse **Diddy** and the Notorious B.I.G. Then a week later Tupac was shot dead in another drive-by in Vegas and next March B.I.G. was killed in LA in another drive by shooting. Puff Daddy/Diddy/Combs is a cup overflowing with the cream of human goodness. I have never known him to do anything immoral. ---

Blowing a red light and leading to a police chase where a stolen 9mm was found in the “trunk” of his Lincoln Navigator (I believe the “trunk” is just a pullover tarp in this vehicle). In NYC possession of an unlicensed handgun is a year in jail. You need a _criminal_ lawyer”. ---

I’ve noticed it for a long time and I never could understand how anyone couldn’t notice he was weird. I didn’t think all this stuff was happening, but I knew he was, well, creepy? Maybe strange? I’m not sure the word I would use. Apparently, he is a great musician. I can’t think of much I know from him, though. Not really my genre. ---

I dunno the Federal Law - I know it’s generally harsher than anything state or local. With all his lawyers and even though he was convicted on some violent-based crimes - does he not get out on bail for an appeal? Do the Feds not allow bail? Surely he can still appeal, though it looks like he got off relatively easy and it may indeed be some years till he’s free. ETA: Can appeals go the other way? Like can another judge review the evidence and decide he’s a menace to society and give him more years? Just curious. ---

> [@Coriolanus](#): > > ETA: Can appeals go the other way? Like can another judge review the evidence and decide he’s a menace to society and give him more years? Just curious. He can appeal, at least I presume he can. He can also ask Trump to pardon him and Trump LOVES celebrity attention, so I don’t think that is ruled out.
