LIVE UPDATES: Diddy Sentencing Hearing – Minute By Minute Transcripts

Today is the day. Sean “Diddy” Combs faces his long-awaited sentencing in federal court, and Media Take Out will be bringing you every detail — LIVE.

We’ll be posting minute-by-minute transcripts straight from the courtroom as the judge, prosecutors, and Diddy’s defense team speak. Expect full coverage of the atmosphere, the key exchanges, and of course, the judge’s final decision.
