<p id=”par-2_94″>Sean “Diddy” Combs hoped to leave the Metropolitan Detention Center ahead of his sentencing on Oct. 3, 2025. However, the judge ordered that the mogul stay behind bars. <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/time-sean-diddy-combs-spend-prison-attorney-think-near-maximum-sentence.html/”>As for his sentencing</a>, prosecutors are seeking a sentence of approximately 51 to 63 months (roughly four to five years). Meanwhile, the defense argues for a much lower term offset by time already served in custody. In a bid to reduce or overturn his sentence, Combs’ legal team has floated multiple strategies, including presenting a redemption plan focused on anti-domestic violence advocacy and appealing the verdict.</p>
<p id=”par-3_21″>Combs’ lead attorney, Marc Agnifilo, spoke to CBS News’ Jericka Duncan about how Combs has reflected on his life post-trial. </p>
<p id=”par-4_108″>“He wants people to know that he has reflected on the blessings that he’s been given on the imperfections that I think he sees in himself, just like we all have,” Agnifilo explained. “I think he wants to be a better, more present father than he’s ever been. I think he wants to start small; I think he wants to get out of jail [and] reestablish a loving, present relationship with all of his seven children. He wants to take care of his mother — his mother, she’s going to get mad at me, but she’s getting older. … But he wants to get back in his life.”</p>
<p id=”par-5_32″>As for music and business, Agnifilo said the mogul will likely “always strive to do something exceptional.” But those are not immediate goals. For now, Combs hopes to reconnect with family. </p>
