Stunned Combs holds head in hands as judge unmoved by pleas for mercy

Mogul appeared shocked after sentence read out to hushed courtroom but prosecutors disappointed by 50-month term

Sean Diddy" Combs held his head in his hands and appeared to be stunned when a judge handed down a 50-month sentence in a New York courtroom on Friday for prostitution-related offenses.

It was a sentence far less than the life term he potentially faced at the start of his sex-trafficking conspiracy trial back in May, but Combs appeared shocked by the outcome. The judgment came just minutes after Combs had pleaded with Judge Arun Subramanian that he took full accountability and responsibility" for his actions, and stating that he was a changed man who would, if released, devote himself to his family and community.
