Sean “Diddy” Combs’ defense team is preparing a highly detailed sentencing memorandum aimed at convincing a federal judge to grant him a lighter sentence — possibly time served with house confinement — after his recent conviction.

In an interview with TMZ Live, Diddy’s attorney revealed that if released soon, the music mogul’s first priority will be spending time with his seven children and his aging mother. The lawyer described this as the “next chapter” of Diddy’s life, one focused on family, personal growth, and redemption.

Focus on Therapy and Self-Improvement

The attorney confirmed that Diddy has been receiving therapy for anger management and past substance abuse issues, arranged privately because the federal facility where he’s held lacks robust rehabilitation programs. He said Diddy began participating in a batterers’ program even before his federal arrest, and has been reflecting deeply on the choices that led to his incarceration.

“Redemption is earned, not given,” the lawyer said. “He’s putting in the work, and he believes the last chapters of his life will be the best.”

A Comprehensive Sentencing Memo

The upcoming sentencing document — which the lawyer likened to a biography of Diddy — will include personal statements, letters from friends and colleagues, and an account of his life from childhood to the present. The goal, the attorney explained, is to show “who he really is” beyond the public persona.

Trial Strategy Revealed

The attorney also explained one controversial moment from earlier in the case: downplaying prosecutors’ claim that Diddy possessed “a thousand bottles of baby oil” for alleged illicit purposes. This, he said, was a deliberate strategy to use humor and sarcasm to diminish the prosecution’s case, arguing that law enforcement treated harmless items with the seriousness of dangerous contraband.

What’s Next

Diddy’s sentencing is set for October 3rd, and the defense will argue that continued therapy and rehabilitation on the outside — rather than in prison — is the best path forward. Whether the judge accepts this vision of redemption remains to be seen.
