I'm Emily Campano, and this is the Fox True Crime podcast.

On Friday, October 3rd, Sean Diddy Combs was sentenced to 50 months, roughly over four years, in federal prison.

He will get credit toward his prison sentence for the approximately 13 months that he has served in jail before and during the trial.

Combs was convicted in July on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. In addition to the prison

sentence, Combs will be given five years of supervised release as well as a $500,000 fine. On Monday,

President Donald Trump confirmed that Combs had requested a presidential pardon. The media moguls'

legal team has requested that he be held at Fort Dix in New Jersey.

Joining me now to discuss the sentencing and what's next for the disgraced mogul is Fox News

contributor and criminal defense attorney Donna Rotuno.

was surprised by the sentence because it's what I predicted. And I predicted it not because I

thought that's what it should be, but that's what I thought it was going to be. I think when you

look at what federal judges consider when they go down the sentencing

rabbit hole of deciding what's appropriate, they have so many different factors to look at.

And I really thought that he was never going to get the minimum, but I also was not surprised at all

that he wasn't given the maximum. Don't you love being right as an attorney, but like sad also as a citizen when you can't help

to your point feeling disappointed. Can you explain for listeners? Because a lot of people felt

that not only was the conviction sort of feeling inadequate or at least certainly not commensurate

with the gravity of the charges,
