Sean "Diddy" Combs has filed a new appeal to overturn his conviction.

The rapper was convicted of two counts of transportation for prostitution in October.
Diddy also accused Judge Arun Subramanian of acting like a “thirteenth juror” in his s-- trafficking trial that took place earlier this year in the paperwork that his team filed on December 23.
“The judge defied the jury’s verdict and found Combs ‘coerced,’ ‘exploited,’ and ‘forced’ his girlfriends to have s-- and led a criminal conspiracy,” the docs noted.
“These judicial findings trumped the verdict and led to the highest sentence ever imposed for any remotely similar defendant — even though most others, unlike Combs, ran prostitution businesses that exploited poor or undocumented women or minors," they continued.

The Bad Boys Records CEO's legal camp also stated their belief that the evidence featured in the trial “would have been irrelevant and inadmissible” if Diddy was just charged with the two Mann Act counts he was not acquitted of.
“Yet the district court — determined to punish Combs for the acquitted counts — considered all that evidence anyway. It did not even follow its own proposed test,” the paperwork revealed.
The New York native's lawyers asked the legal system to issue an “immediate release and either grant a judgment of acquittal or vacate and remand for resentencing.”
