One high-profile lawyer who won’t be there is ex-FBI Director Jim Comey‘s daughter — Maurene Comey — the lead prosecutor on the Diddy case until she was recently fired by the Department of Justice. It’s unclear why she lost her job.
And get this .. during the sentencing hearing, Diddy is expected to address the court, which would be the first time we have heard publicly from him since the start of his case.
In a court filing last week, Geragos wrote, “The sentencing proceeding holds significant importance for Mr. Combs. He wishes to appear before the Court, address Your Honor, and allocate in the most dignified and respectful fashion possible.”
Meanwhile, Diddy has remained locked up at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn since his arrest in September 2024. His legal team repeatedly tried to get Diddy released on bail during his trial, but the judge rejected their efforts. His lawyers even tried to get the Mann Act charges thrown out or a new trial, but they came up empty on those efforts, as well.
