Diddy
Defense Drops Sympathetic Video
… Intend to Show at Sentencing Hearing
Published
Diddy‘s lawyers are painting him as a loving father and pillar of the community during his sentencing … and, we’ve got the video they plan to use to get that message across.
The defense released a nearly 12-minute-long vid they already submitted to the court … which begins by showing Diddy sitting with his kids — speaking softly to his twin daughters, D’Lila and Jessie.
The rapper plays with a paper puppet and sits on the floor while his kiddos try to steal his sunglasses … looking every bit the attentive father.
The video shifts to his good work in the community … including events where he’s opening schools, speaking to graduating classes and handing out a huge check to some eager students.
The video ends with a montage of Diddy and his kids which will certainly make many in the courtroom emotional when it’s played in just a short while. We’ve cut the video down, but the full clip is out there … and, it’s certainly worth a watch.
Diddy’s asking Judge Arun Subramanian to sentence him to 14 months in prison — with time served for the year-plus he’s already served in MDC Brooklyn. Prosecutors are asking for the mogul to serve 11 years.
He also filed a letter asking the judge for mercy yesterday … in which he took responsibility for the pain he’s caused — and brought up his duties as a father and as a caregiver to his mother in hopes of swaying him.
The sentencing hearing starts at 7 AM PT … head on over to our livestream to watch all the action.
