They said that the judge did not properly follow sentencing guidelines when sending him to prison for 50 months.

That was his prison sentence.

They actually used this word.

They said the judge flouted new guidelines and improperly considered conduct for which Combs had already been acquitted when the judge formulated his sentence.

And we've talked a lot about this.

Yes.

So in the filing, Diddy's attorney said that the judge acted as a 13th juror.

Exactly to what you're saying.

So he acted as a 13th juror in the case and they called the sentence draconian.

So they are going after this judge in a way that they haven't before because up until now they've been trying to appeal to that said judge.

Oh, he said he's been doing a fabulous job right before the verdict.

Yes, he was doing his best to try and butter him up.

It did not work.

Nope.

Yes, because in September, just a few months ago, you remember this was the other effort they were making to try and get him out of prison.

They were actually appealing directly to that judge.
