Speaking outside the courthouse Friday night, Sean "Diddy" Combs’ lawyers vowed to appeal the judge's sentencing decision. "What we feel happened today was that the judge acted as a 13th juror, and that he second-guessed the jury," attorney Marc Agnifilo said.

Agnifilo said their strongest argument on appeal is that the judge used coercion as a basis for a lengthy sentence, while the jury acquitted Combs on the allegation he used force or coercion to move his victims across state lines.

"We think that's just absolutely inconsistent with the jury's verdict," he said. "The jury's verdict was resoundingly clear. There was no sex trafficking, there was no racketeering, everything was consensual, everything was adult, which is why he was convicted only of the prostitution offense."

Attorney Brian Steel called today a "very bad day for everybody."

"There is a human being now in custody for 50 months based upon conduct that the jury heard, the jury resolved and the jury rejected," he said.

One of the jurors from Sean “Diddy” Combs’ jury is reacting to his sentence, saying that the music mogul "got off easy."

Combs was sentenced to over four years in prison for his conviction on two prostitution-related offenses. He will get credit for the 12 months he's already served, as well as be fined $500,000.

"I think he got off easy. I’m surprised the judge was that lenient," the juror said in a statement to ABC News. "... I think 10 years would have been more appropriate. He has many more civil suits filed against him, so he will be in and out of court for years. I’m sure he will have more fines to pay, too," the juror said.

Doug Wigdor, an attorney for Sean Combs’ ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, said in a statement, “While nothing can undo the trauma caused by Combs, the sentence imposed today recognizes the impact of the serious offenses he committed.”

“We are confident that with the support of her family and friends, Ms. Ventura will continue healing knowing that her bravery and fortitude have been an inspiration to so many,” Wigdor said.

District Judge Arun Subramanian is now speaking to Sean Combs to encourage him that there is a “light at the end of the tunnel” despite the lengthy sentence.

“Mr. Combs, I know you feel you are in a dark place right now, but these crimes were serious ones,” the judge said. “Mr. Combs, you and your family are going to get through this. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.”

When leaving the courtroom, Combs turned to his family and said, “I’m sorry. I love you.”

Prosecutors accused Sean Combs of downplaying his alleged violence, despite his lawyers openly conceding during trial that he was violent with two of his exes.

"He owned that violence only insofar as it benefited him," prosecutor Christy Slavik said.

"The violence in this case was uncontested," Slavik said. "The evidence of what the defendant did was overwhelming."

Slavik emphasized what she said was "life-altering" violence that Combs’ girlfriends Cassie Ventura and a woman who testified under the pseudonym "Jane" testified at trial, as well as Combs’ allegedly abusive behavior towards his employees.

"He hit her, he kicked her, he threw her into walls, he stomped on her face, he dragged her by the hair," Slavik said of Ventura, who she said was "treated like an animal."

"Once is bad enough," she said. "Dozens and dozens of times is something the public must be defended from."

"This is not a person who has accepted responsibility," she said.

Slavik also pushed back against the defense argument that Combs’ relationships with "Jane" and Ventura were mutually harmful.

"The court heard Cassie engaging in a 'freak-off' while he was overdosing on drugs. What is mutual about that?" Slavik said. "There is nothing mutual about that."

Even if the judge removed the alleged violence, Slavik argued that a significant sentence would still be justified. Prosecutors argued that the most comparable case for Combs’ conduct is a 2023 conviction of a movie producer who ran an international prostitution business. The defendant in that case received a five-year prison sentence.

"Even prostitution cases that don’t involve violence get significant sentences in this district," she said.
