Sounds like Diddy is gonna walk...

At some point, though it remains to be seen if it will be soon or a few years from now. I would think he would get something, but who knows with this stuff?

I agree, who knows.  I haven't followed along but if he has already served some time, of course went through the trial, and now he is not guilty of the serious stuff, he may get out almost right away. But again, I haven't followed along.

He would not even be at 10 months served if released today. As I understood, the charges he was found guilty of carry a sentence of up to 10 years.

I hope he gets something on the grounds of being a serial abuser, but we know how that often goe$.....

Exactly, if it were any of us, lookout, but if you are rich and especially if you are rich and famous, you often get preferential treatment. 

I think he walks out today. Several years probation, slight chance of some additional home incarnation.

Sentencing date has not been set yet, that I can find.

Judge returned him to jail saying that convictions on Mann Act charges warrants that he stays in jail pending final sentencing.

I think that could be good for Diddy, just a little more time behind bars and then boom, he is free.

Guilty on some of the lesser charges involved with prostitution, but acquitted on the more serious racketeering charges.

So from what I read, the 12 many jury came back last week, Thursday or Friday, I think, and said they had reached verdicts on his prostitution and transportation to engage in prostitution, but at the time they were reporting being split 6-6 on the RICO and sex-trafficking charges. They asked the judge for further jurors' instructions on how to proceed, and if I read things correctly the judge told the jurors that they WERE able to go ahead and enter their verdict for the lesser charges and the return hung on the RICO and sex-trafficking charges.

That being said, I'm really surprised that they came back and actually ACQUITTED him on the RICO and sex-trafficking chargers, because an acquittal means he is never able to be tried on the charges again. They went from having 6 jurors, less than a week ago, who had heard all the evidence in the case and were voting to convict him on the charges, and then less than a week later all 6 of those jurors have now turned around and voted to acquit him on the charges. And they did that knowing that they had the ability to remain a hung jury and then put it back on the state to decide whether or not to re-try the case against Diddy.

Crazy.

From the Diddy side, I understand being privately excited that he avoided a life sentence on the RICO charges. But the dude was still found guilty of federal prostitution crimes. A victory for them, for sure, but going out there so braggadociously with all the heinous stuff that’s come out is gross.

They are getting paid. 100%. 

Found guilty on two counts, each carrying a guideline max of 10 years.  So he could face up to 20 years if the judge rules such.  Don’t see how he’s not going to do some serious and well deserved time.
