Despite protesting his innocence, Sebastian Telfair was sentenced to three and a half years after being accused of a crime. His sister received probation for threatening Sebastian's ex-wife. After being sent to Rikers, his legal team managed to secure an appeal within two weeks, a rarity in the system. Sebastian expressed his disdain for Rikers but referred to his imprisonment as a 'blessing', as it allowed him to spend time with his family before the pandemic hit. His mother and older brother tragically passed away due to COVID-19. Despite the pain, he expressed gratitude for the opportunity to be close to his family during hard times.
