Sean “Diddy” Combs made a last-minute attempt to get out of jail by penning an emotional letter to the judge.
Diddy says he’s been using his time to reflect after he was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
“I have to admit, my downfall was rooted in my selfishness,” he wrote. “The scene and images of me assaulting Cassie play over and over in my head daily. I literally lost my mind. I was dead wrong for putting my hands on the woman that I loved. I’m sorry for that and always will be.”
“I have been humbled and broken to my core. Jail is designed to break you mentally, physically and spiritually. Over the past year, there have been so many times that I wanted to give up,” he continued. “There have been some days I thought I would be better off dead. The old me died in jail and a new version of me was reborn. Prison will change you or kill you — I choose to live.”
Diddy is scheduled to be sentenced later today. He is hoping for a sentence no longer than 14 months…the prosecution is hoping for him to receive at least 11 years.
