CULTURE / MEDIA — Diddy returns to court, appeals conviction

Sean “Diddy” Combs appeared in court as his legal team pushes to overturn or reduce the prostitution conviction he received in July. While acquitted of higher charges such as racketeering and trafficking, the one conviction stands. Now, arguments focus on whether First Amendment protections apply and whether procedural missteps warrant a new trial. Sentencing looms in October.
