Diddy’s lawyers request reduced prison sentence over prostitution-related conviction

Sean “Diddy” Combs was found guilty of a prostitution-related crime and was cleared of the more serious sex trafficking and racketeering counts.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ lawyers have asked a US judge to impose a 14-month prison sentence on the producer and rapper after he was convicted of prostitution-related offences. The music mogul was acquitted on the more serious charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.

After being found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, the 55-year-old star could spend up to 20 years in prison. Diddy has nevertheless stated that he is appealing his conviction. He has, however, pleaded not guilty. His attorneys have requested a shorter sentence for the star in a recent court filing.

Additionally, they recommended group counseling, drug therapy, and supervised release with a requirement for drug use. The prosecution has until September 29 to make a sentence recommendation, according to his attorneys, and it would be “sufficient, but not more than necessary.”

On October 3, U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian is scheduled to deliver his sentence to Diddy.

The jury found Subramanian not guilty of the more serious charges, according to the lawyers’ argument in the lawyers’ submission.

The jury has already spoken, to put it simply. The attorneys claimed that the verdict is an “affirmative indication of innocence.”

He has spent more than a year in one of America’s most notorious prisons, but he has gotten the most out of it. Mr. Combs needs to return home to his family so that he can continue receiving care and make the most of the next phase of his extraordinary life.

During the two month trial, the court heart how Diddy flew people around the country, including his girlfriends and paid male sex workers, to engage in sexual encounters, a felony violation of the federal Mann Act.

He was acquitted of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges, relating to allegations that he forced his former girlfriends into drug-fuelled sex encounters – known as ‘freak-offs.’

Before the jury read the verdict, Diddy requested his family to pray in the courtroom. The rapper apparently began praying after avoiding life in prison for the most serious charge in his case after learning of his fate and coming to knees with his head down in a chair.

His family, who has stood by him throughout the trial, clapped and cheered in the background.

Combs and his defense attorneys exchanged hugs before turning to Brian Steel, the attorney.

Supervet Noel Fitzpatrick distraught by tragic death where he ‘cried and cried’

Following the performer’s passing in July, Noel Fitzpatrick made an open statement about the heartbreaking connection he has to a song by Ozzy Osbourne. He called the song one of his “heroes.”

Supervet Noel Fitzpatrick has shared his heartbreak over the loss of a beloved music icon, saying he “cried and cried” following the tragic news. The renowned vet expressed his deep sorrow over the recent passing of metal legend Ozzy Osbourne, also known as the Prince of Darkness.

Noel, a self-confessed fan of Ozzy, revealed a touching connection to one of the late singer’s popular songs. Ozzy, who sadly passed away in July aged 76, was part of the band Black Sabbath and performed the track Paranoid, which holds a significant place in Noel’s heart.

Describing Ozzy as one of his “heroes”, Noel explained that the song Paranoid resonated deeply with him due to personal experiences from his childhood when he was told he “was paranoid.”

In his conversation with The Times, Noel said: “When Ozzy Osbourne passed, I cried and cried. I was distraught. Paranoid was a really important song for me when I was a kid because when I reported those things that had happened (Fitzpatrick was abused as a child), I was told I was paranoid.”

He continued, “It is truly blessed that I had the chance to thank one of my heroes for the light that his songs have spread throughout my life.” “

Ozzy’s death came less than three weeks after his farewell gig on July 5, titled Back to the Beginning, which he performed in his hometown of Birmingham alongside his Black Sabbath bandmates.

His family wrote in a statement that “we are saddened by the passing of our beloved Ozzy Osbourne this morning. He was surrounded by love and his family. “

Ozzy, who also carved out a hugely successful solo career, struggled with numerous health problems throughout the years, including Parkinson’s disease.

He was unable to stand or walk alone as a result of this devastating condition. Ozzy, a well-known hellraiser, also fought drug and alcohol addiction.

Noel revealed in March how his relationship collapsed, his beloved border terrier, Keira, and his mother’s terminal illness led to his “rock bottom” in the aftermath of his death.

Noel, a veterinary surgeon who works as director and managing clinician at Fitzpatrick Referrals, was struck by tragedy when Keira was hit by a van outside his Surrey practice.

Noel chose to treat her as she lay dying in his arms after suffering severe injuries. She tragically passed away in September 2021.

Speaking on the High Performance podcast, he said: “Keira, the dog who was the love of my life, had a very bad accident and she was dying in my arms and I had to either fix her or let her go.

Taylor Swift collaborator reveals treasure trove of unreleased songs

Taylor Swift has 11 studio albums, but a former friend claims to have unreleased tracks that show how her talent sparkled from a young age.

Taylor Swift ’s music has dominated the charts for almost two decades – but her love life and her public feuds have at times threatened to obscure her huge talent. Now, a new Channel 4 documentary reveals how Taylor’s songwriting prowess and ability to connect with her audience has always been her superpower, enabling her to clap back at her critics with lyrical precision.

When Taylor was just 13 years old, she and her friend Robert Ellis Orrall worked together to create a demo that included three tracks called Invisible, Just South of Knowing Why, and Need You Now.

Robert recalls their studio sessions, reiterating that Taylor had Taylor directed the session right away. In the first two days of our relationship, we recorded three songs, two of which are included on Taylor Swift’s debut album. Her father said, “Here’s another 15 that she wrote,” after we’d written a few songs.

Robert reveals that he has sixteen more Taylor-written songs that have never been heard by the general public while holding up a CD for the camera.

On the show, which features interviews with many of Taylor’s early collaborators, he declares, “I have tons of these from way back.” 16 of our songs are copyrighted in 2003, the same year we began writing. You have never heard of any of those.

Robert credits Taylor with having all the original ideas, claiming that she was a powerhouse even in her early years, when she co-wrote the book. Robert was able to identify her as a huge star when he first met her while he was working with her. On her debut album, Place in This World, Robert was one of the co-writers, and he was confident that it would appeal to listeners. Millions of kids could relate to that, according to Robert. She “had a plan,” she said, “and she wasn’t going to change it.” She would not be halted. Right and center, she was being told “no” by people, but she was not doing that.

Taylor was encouraged to sing at The Bluebird Cafe in Nashville because he had a regular slot there thanks to Robert’s assistance in getting her discovered. Scott Borchetta spotted her at that time, and he gave her her a signed Big Machine Records label.

Taylor talks about her big break in the documentary’s audio. She claims, “I’m looking out and seeing all these faces, and one guy has his eyes closed and I kept noticing him, and he said, “Hi, I’m Scott Borchetta. The good news is that I want to start my own record labels and that I want to have one of my first artists, he says.

The pair worked together for 12 years and released six albums. Then in 2016 Taylor’s ongoing feud with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian blew up and threatened her career. Kanye’s song Famous contained sexual lyrics about Taylor which she publicly took issue with. Then, Kim released clips of a video of a phone call appearing to show Taylor approving the lyrics. The backlash from this was not kind and when Kim called her a snake, #TaylorSwift IsASnake went viral.

Taylor’s mother Andrea was the subject of a video that shows how the fallout affected the young star. She is portrayed as saying, “I’ve been doing this for 15 years, I’m tired of it,” in the video. At this point, it seems like it’s more than just music; on average, I’m like “OK,” but occasionally I’m like “it just gets loud.” Taylor retreated from the public eye, but she soon made a comeback, this time with the snake motif, which was prominent on her Reputation album from 2017 and subsequent tour.

In 2020, the full video of the Kanye call was released, proving Taylor had not fully approved the lyrics. Also in 2017, Taylor’s life away from music made headlines once more when she won a sexual assault civil case against DJ David Mueller.

She stated at the time, “I acknowledge the privilege that I enjoy in life, in society, and in being able to bear the high cost of defending myself in a trial like this.” I want to assist those whose voices should also be heard. I’ll be making donations to a number of organizations that support sexual assault victims’ self-defense in the near future.

In 2019, fans were again supportive of Taylor when she spoke out in fury after she parted ways with Scott Borchetta and he sold her back catalogue to Scooter Brau n. Taylor asked fans to weigh in on her behalf.

However, Channel 4 ’s new documentary sees her first manager Rick Barker slam her behaviour. He says, “No one stole her music, no one made her sign a bad record deal.” This year, Taylor, now 35, announced her engagement to American football star Travis Kelce. And even her former manager Rick is wishing her well. He tells the film crew, “I hope what comes next for Taylor is that she has found her person and that she gets to experience the things that most people get to experience and that some people give the girl a break.”
