Sean 'Diddy' Combs sentencing live updates: Combs gets 50 months in prison

Speaking outside court Friday evening, Sean Combs' lawyers vowed to appeal today's 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.

They did not answer questions about Combs' reaction to the verdict or his current mindset.

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, the attorney for Cassie Ventura, released a statement following Sean Combs' sentencing.

"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.

Leading up to Combs' sentence, Ventura wrote a letter to Judge Arun Subramanian, pleading to consider her and other victims' experiences, and recalled her testimony in court as "the most traumatic and horrifying chapter in my life."

She added that in her time dating Combs, she found herself "in a constant state of hypervigilance."

"I still have nightmares and flashbacks on a regular, everyday basis, and continue to require psychological care to cope with my past," she wrote.

"My worries that Sean Combs or his associates will come after me and my family is my reality. I have in fact moved my family out of the New York area and am keeping as private and quiet as I possibly can because I am so scared that if he walks free, his first actions will be swift retribution towards me and others who spoke up about his abuse at trial," Ventura added.

Ventura testified for four days during the first week of Combs' trial.

Gloria Allred, who represents alleged victims of Combs, reacted to his sentencing to reporters outside of the Manhattan courthouse on Friday, saying the music mogul "has to pay the price for what he did."

"Many of my clients were very concerned that he might walk free by the end of this year, time served and then a couple more months," she said.

"And they were very much afraid that he would retaliate against them. And so I think that they will be happy that he will be at least in prison for a number of years," Allred added.

Judge Subramanian concluded the sentencing by asking Sean Combs to make the most of his time in prison.

"You have a chance to show your children what true change and accountability look like," the judge said. "I am counting on you to make the most of your second chance."

The judge encouraged Combs 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."

As soon as court adjourned, Combs got up from his seat and looked towards his family seated in the gallery.
