Brian Cole Jr, accused of planting pipe bombs outside the RNC and DNC before the January 6 Capitol insurrection, is set for a detention hearing after allegedly confessing to the crimes, with his lawyers seeking release citing his lack of danger and health conditions, while prosecutors argue he remains a threat.
Family, friends, and associates of Sean 'Diddy' Combs have submitted over 70 letters pleading for leniency ahead of his sentencing on October 3, after his conviction on charges related to transportation for prostitution. His lawyers request a sentence of no more than 14 months, citing his positive behavior in detention and personal reforms, while prosecutors suggest a minimum of four to five years. Combs, who was acquitted of more serious charges, has been praised for his contributions and recent sobriety, with family members emphasizing his positive traits and the importance of his role as a father.
