Sean “Diddy” Combs was convicted on charges of transportation to engage in prostitution, Jason Swain’s mind raced back more than three decades to the Manhattan gymnasium where his brother and eight other young people were crushed to death.

After Combs' sentencing, his lawyers may file an appeal of both his conviction and his sentence. To succeed on appeal, the defense faces the high burden of convincing the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that Subramanian made legal errors that impacted the jury's verdict.

The partial verdict in the Sean "Diddy" Combs trial came on the second day of deliberations. The jury will return to deliberate on the final count Wednesday.
