Judge Greg Mathis and son Amir continue to dissect the Sean “Diddy” Combs sex trafficking trial on their Mathis Verdict podcast, where Mathis recently offered up his hypothetical sentencing of the fallen mogul based on what has been presented in court thus far.
The television veteran is first sure to acknowledge that the prosecution has yet to prove without a doubt the sex trafficking and racketeering charges. However, he does believe they have proven Combs guilty of the third charge, which is transportation to engage in prostitution.
“Yes, that is a federal crime. A very low-level federal crime, which he should be guilty of and sentenced to less than one year. On the other hand, you got some state crimes and the statute of limitations has expired, and that’s why they aren’t charging him in state court.”
Judge Mathis then hypothesized that the state charges were valid, and offered his thoughts on how Diddy would be sentenced under those circumstances.
“Let me say what I think has been proven,” Mathis says in the clip. “The things I’ve heard, the testimony, the video I’ve observed, I’m convinced that he was involved in at least two cases of assault and battery against women.” He later adds that he believes Diddy was involved in Kid Cudi’s car being set ablaze, to which Cudi testified in court.
“To that extent, I’d have to give him a couple or a few years,” Mathis determined. And on the multiple assaults and batteries against women, I’d have to give him a few more on that. If you want to sum it up, If it were a state crime, Judge Mathis has observed the evidence and the testimony and the transcripts. What would I give him? Five to ten.”
“Which is not letting him off on anything,” Mathis’ son, Amir, added. “That’s a tough sentence, In my opinion.” Check out the clip below.
