The New York-Ek Federal Judge said on Thursday that he would “ruled” very soon “whether the two prostitution-related allegations have to be tossed whether the scene” Didi “Comombs was convicted in July or to proceed with a planned sentence for the next week.
Judge Arun Subramanian heard about 90 minutes of arguments by the lawyers whether the allegations against the Grammy-winner hip-hop manufacturer were properly brought.
The 55 -year -old Comombs is to be convicted in the Manhattan Federal Court for convicted in two cases next week, alleging that he arranged an interstate visit for those engaged in prostitution.
Defense lawyer Alexandra Shapiro urged the judge to toss two violations of the Honorary Act, resulting in conviction. The jury acquitted him of sex smuggling and conspiracy.
Prosecutors said that they arranged paid sexual encounters between male sex workers and their girlfriends, some of which testified about being beaten, kicked and choke by combs.
Shapiro argued that Combes cannot be held responsible for financing and transportation could not be helped to arrange domestic and international transport, which they are often shot over in a period of 15 years.
An prosecutor Christian Slavick argued that the jury’s decision, saying that it was in public interest to prevent prostitution, especially when it included the kind of violence and drugs that included Combes.
As soon as he entered the court room, a smiling Comombs waved his supporters and touched his heart before taking his seat among many lawyers. He did not spoke during the hearing apart from congratulating the judge.
Subramanian refused to bail for the founder of Bad Boy Records after being convicted of allegations related to prostitution in July.
Combs would have been imprisoned for about 13 months when he was sentenced on 3 October.
His lawyers argued in the court papers submitted this week that he should be sentenced to more than 14 months to jail. With credit for good behavior, it would mean that it will be released immediately.
Prosecutors have said that they believe they should spend at least several more years behind bars, although they will not submit recommendations to the judge by next week.
The judge has indicated that he too, bending towards an adequate amount of prison time, refusing to bail twice as the jury returned its decision, cited the history of violence of Comombs.
