Judge: Mr. Combs said he was paying for time, not sex. That is contradicted by reality. He has not expressed remorse for transporting people for prostitution. Combs has challenged his guilty full throatedly, including after trial.
Judge: Mr. Combs wants to apply the zero point offender provision from 2023 - but 2024 on other issues. That is not possible, under 2d Circuit's One Book rule. Next, Mr. Combs objects to the $5000 assessment under the statute because there are no victims. Denied.

Judge: All remaining objections are overruled
Combs' Geragos: Although you say some points don't impact your sentence. It might impact his eligibility for "Low" categorization if you impose an incarceratory sentence
Judge: We can address that
Geragos: If necessary

Combs' Alexandra Shapiro: I'd like to make some more points. We briefed extensively-
Judge: 380 pages
Shapiro: We raised due process, the fairness concerns set forth by Justice Sotomayor, we believe militate for our interpretation and preclude the court under 3553
you know what’s crazy is puff might come out of this only getting a couple years
Combs' Shapiro: I wanted to preserve this for appeal, should there be an appeal of your sentence.
Judge: It is preserved. The PSR says the offense level is 27, I agree with that. The criminal history category is 1. That leads to a guideline of 70 to 87 months

You following these posts?? He’s getting 10 at least lol

considering time served and the fact the maximum sentence would be 20 years i don’t think he’ll do more than 5 it’s hard to get the maximum sentence

Note:
70 to 87 months is about 5-7 years
Judge: I'll hear from the Government.
AUSA Slavik: I'd like to respond after the defense, as well... Today is about accountability and justice. For 15 years. The victims' lives have been shattered by abuse and exploitation
AUSA Slavik: This is not just a case about freak offs and hotel rooms. This is about victims hard, about a man who did horrible things to other people. His currency was control. He weaponized it. All of the 3553 factor point to at least 135 months

135 months is about 11 years
Man they saying this s*** might take hours or even last (have to continue) until Monday.

AUSA Slavik: The defense accuses us of seeking 135 months so that the court splits the difference. We think Probation's recommendation of 60 months does not account sufficiently for the harm to Cassie and Jane
