Why is "Diddy" back in court?

Asked 5 hours ago

Answer

Diddy is back in court for a post-trial hearing to set a date for his sentencing after being convicted on two of five criminal charges related to sex trafficking and racketeering. The defense wants an earlier sentencing date, but the judge has tentatively set it for a later time due to significant differences between the prosecution and defense regarding the sentence length. He remains detained because of concerns raised by witness statements and the nature of the charges.
