All of Combs’ adult children just addressed the court.
Through sobs, they pleaded with the judge to send their father home.
As his daughter spoke, Combs dropped his head into his hands and wiped tears from his face.
Here’s a piece of what each of them said.
Quincy Brown, 34, Combs’ adopted son: “In front of you and in front of us is a changed man. He has evolved, something we haven’t seen in 15 years.”
Justin Combs, 31, first born son: “I ask that you give my father a second chance.”
Christian Combs, 27, son with late model Kim Porter: “He taught me to treat women with respect. He treated my mom like a queen.”
Chance Combs, 19: “We have all felt a huge emptiness in our lives.”
Jesse Combs, 18, daughter with Porter: “Your honour, he is still our dad.”
Delila Combs, 18, daughter with Porter: “We can’t watch our baby sister grow up fatherless the same way we grew up motherless… Please, please give our family the chance to heal.”
