Diddy Faces Potential Life Sentence: Legal Analyst Explains Sentencing Guidelines

Sean "Diddy" Combs faces potential life sentence on federal charges, according to NBC News legal analyst Danny Cevallos. The analyst explains that while a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years exists for sex trafficking, the final sentence depends on a complex calculation of sentencing guidelines. These guidelines, while no longer mandatory, are still highly influential. 'If your guidelines say life, then you're going to get something close to life,' Cevallos states, highlighting the severity of the potential outcome. The case underscores the complexities of the US federal justice system and the significant consequences for those accused of serious crimes.
