Prosecutors say they now expect music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs could face a prison sentence "substantially higher" than the four-to-vive years they once thought he was likely to face.

Sean “Diddy” Combs has asked the judge who is overseeing his case to acquit him or give him a new trial – before he has even been sentenced.

Attorneys for Sean "Diddy" Combs late Wednesday filed a motion asking that Combs' conviction earlier this month be thrown out or, barring that, that he be given a new trial.
