Ahead of his sentencing, Sean "Diddy" Combs has written an emotional appeal to Judge Arun Subramanian, claiming personal transformation during his year-long detention. The music mogul, convicted on prostitution-related charges but acquitted of sex trafficking, apologized for past behavior including the assault on ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. Now sober after 25 years, Combs seeks mercy not only for himself but for his seven children and elderly mother, promising to make positive use of a second chance if released.
