\n\tA \u201cdeeply remorseful\u201d Sean Kingston<\/a> is asking for no prison time when he\u2019s sentenced Friday for his role in a $1 million wire fraud scheme that scammed vendors out of a bulletproof Cadillac Escalade, jewelry, and other luxury merchandise, according to a new court filing.<\/p>\n \n\tThe \u201cBeautiful Girls\u201d singer is urging the judge to reject the official calculation by probation officials that found he should be sentenced to around five to six years in federal detention following his conviction last March.<\/a><\/p>\n \n\tIn the new filing obtained by Rolling Stone<\/em>, Kingston and his lawyers say the department\u2019s recommended sentence should be more like 24 to 30 months now that he\u2019s provided a statement accepting responsibility. And they\u2019re urging the judge to scrap that and go below the guideline range for various reasons, including the non-violent nature of the offense, the singer\u2019s history of charitable work, and his need to support his family.<\/p>\n \n\tKingston, 35, is asking for \u201chome confinement or house arrest\u201d and an order that he repay his victims, the new filing states. Such a sentence would stand in stark contrast to the five years in prison that his mother, Janice Turner, received last month<\/a> for her role in the case.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cMr. Anderson is deeply remorseful for his conduct and involvement in this scheme and has had time to step back and reflect on his actions and how to make amends,\u201d the new filing from Kingston and his lawyers reads. \u201cMr. Anderson accepted responsibility in this case and has made all the positive steps toward learning and growing from this situation.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe filing says the proposed sentence of home detention \u201cwill adequately punish Mr. Anderson for his offense conduct while providing him the opportunity to care for his family and pay down the restitution amount.\u201d It claims Kingston, whose legal name is Kisean Anderson, is the sole provider for many relatives, and that while he\u2019s been on house arrest awaiting sentencing, he \u201chas worked diligently at his home studio\u201d and is determined to be \u201cproductive\u201d and pay any restitution owed so he can \u201cstart a new chapter.\u201d<\/p>\n
