Defense attorneys lobby for Combs’ release from prison despite prostitution conviction<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\tSean Combs<\/a> could walk outside of a lower Manhattan courtroom on Wednesday afternoon following his acquittal on sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter Combs was found guilty on two lesser charges of transportation to engage in prostitution, his attorneys immediately filed a motion for the 55-year-old to be released from custody pending his sentencing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tPointing out Combs\u2019 sobbing family members seated just a few feet behind a rejoicing Combs, the vindicated hip-hop mogul\u2019s lead attorney Marc Agnifilo emphasized to Judge Arun Subramanian that Combs was not a flight risk and that some of his children would cosign the one-time billionaire\u2019s $1 million bond.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMr. Combs has been given his life by this jury,\u201d Agnifilo argued, adding his client would be \u201cnothing short of a fool\u201d to violate a court order. \u201cHe will not run afoul of anything this court imposes on him,\u201d Agnifilo said.<\/p>\n

\n\tCombs has now cleared the risk of serving life in prison on the three most serious counts against him. Still, the prostitution conviction could land Combs in prison for up to 20 years, with each charge carrying a possible sentence of up to 10 years. Legal experts, however, have noted that the actual sentence could be less severe, especially since Combs had no prior criminal record. A sentencing date has not yet been set.<\/p>\n

\n\tBut prosecutors raised concerns that Combs would \u201cflagrantly disregard orders from this court\u201d if released. They cited evidence presented during the trial that Combs \u201ccontinued to commit a litany of crimes\u201d \u2014 such as alleged abuse and drug use \u2014 even after he knew he was under federal investigation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis is very, very serious conduct,\u201d said lead prosecutor Maurene Comey, who also reminded the judge that Combs did not \u201ccontest\u201d that there was rampant domestic violence and substance abuse throughout the charged conduct. She raised concerns that Combs would \u201ccommit new crimes\u201d and attempt to flee if given the chance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tRolling Stone<\/em> has learned that letters are being sent to the judge urging him to not release Combs pending sentencing, as the judge weighs his decision. Subramanian is expected to issue his ruling later this afternoon.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
