“Diddy’s Lawyer May Ask for Home Confinement, Not Prison, to Provide Therapy”
The title of this post is the headline of this new TMZ report, which is interesting while not being especially surprising. Here are excertps:
Diddy will probably be sentenced to confinement for 1 to 3 years, and his lawyer may ask the judge to let him do the time at his home.
Marc Agnifilo — the lead lawyer on Diddy’s legal team — tells us Diddy needs and wants therapy for both anger issues and substance abuse … but says prisons aren’t equipped to provide optimal help in those areas.
Although Agnifilo said asking for home confinement was a “possibility,” he went on to say he’s already assembling a team on the “outside” to provide Diddy with professional help, adding he would make therapy a condition for “supervised release.” Diddy has told Agnifilo he’s aware he needs therapy and has lived with “deficits” all his adult life. Agnifilo says Diddy vowed to make the most of his incarceration to address his deficits.
I am not sure I agree with the prediction that Combs “will probably be sentenced to confinement for 1 to 3 years,” but I am sure that his lawyers are going to be seeking a sentencing that will get Combs home under “supervised release,” as soon as possible. Given that Combs has been incarcerated since September 16, 2024 and is not scheduled to be sentence until October 3, 2025, any sentence of 15 months or less will amount to a sentence of time served (assuming combs gets the standard 15% good time credits for his time served so far).
