At today’s sentencing hearing, prosecutors will be pushing for a much longer prison term, pointing to the seriousness of the charges, the harm done, and the wider pattern of behavior they say was laid out at trial. The defense, meanwhile, will argue for a shorter sentence, framing Diddy’s time already served, his public fall from grace, and efforts to show remorse as reasons the judge should go lighter.

The hearing itself is expected to feature impact statements from victims, a personal address from Diddy, and possibly materials meant to highlight his family and philanthropic work. The judge will have to balance those competing pictures—on one side, a powerful entertainer accused of using that power to exploit others, and on the other, someone seeking leniency at the end of a career now in ruins. The final decision could fall anywhere between near-time served and a lengthy stretch in federal prison.
