As Sean “Diddy” Combs remains in prison, his legal team has been making efforts to appeal his conviction. The past few months have seen the lawyers building a case and arguing their reasons as to why they believe 56-year-old Combs’ incarceration is unjust. Prosecutors have since argued against Team Combs’ rationale and most recently shared comments on that in paperwork filed this past February. Now, Diddy’s team is responding via newly filed documents, with which they call the rapper’s conviction a “perversion of justice.”
Diddy’s attorneys filed these latest docs on Friday, March 13, according to TMZ. As laid out in the filing, they argue that the Grammy winner’s four-year (or 50-month) sentence to be a “perversion of justice” due to allegedly not being comparable to the charges. Diddy’s trial ended with a mixed verdict that saw him convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and found not guilty on counts of sex trafficking and racketeering. The guilty charges were reportedly in violation of the Mann Act.
