Sean "Diddy" Combs has been acquitted of the most serious sex trafficking charges against him. Now the question remains whether a partial conviction could mean a partial public rehabilitation.
Combs stands convicted of two counts of a crime — transportation to engage in prostitution — that carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. But jurors cleared him of three charges, two of which carried a mandatory 15 years and a maximum of life.
He admitted to the slayings before entering a formal guilty plea in a deal with prosecutors that will allow him to avoid the death penalty.
