A look inside Diddy's Star Island mansion on raid day: Shocking new pics just dropped
Jurors in the Sean 'Diddy' Combs NYC trial continued to learn more and more about the inner workings of the famous defendant Wednesday. Homeland Security Special Agent Gerard Gannon took the stand for the second day while pictures of the March 25, 2024 raid at the rapper's Star Island mansion were displayed. Most of the myriad photos taken at the scene were shockingly NSFW — and allegedly used for the star's infamous 'freak offs.' Think bins of baby oil and lubricant, S&M style rope, sex toys, peekaboo lingerie, as well as illicit drugs and even guns. Gannon, one of 80 or 90 agents assigned to the case, testified that serial numbers had been defaced from gun parts possibly so that law enforcement could not trace them. As per CBS News, in cross-examination, Combs' lawyer asked Gannon, who lives in Florida, if he has guns in his home, and he replied that he does. The sex trafficking trial, in its third week, may be getting to Combs, who has been behind bars since September of last year at MDC in Brooklyn. The New York Post reports that at one point during Gannon's testimony, the embattled singer put his head in his hands. Courtroom sketches show that the 55-year-old is now also completely gray, due to no hair dye in jail. On Tuesday, the Bad Boy Records founder spoke for the first time, telling people in the courtroom gallery, 'I love you all.' Combs is charged with two counts of sex trafficking, two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and one count of racketeering. If convicted, he could face up to life in prison. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges. READ MORE: All the times cops were called to Diddy's mansion

LGL: Friends of the Erie County Public Library
Borrow a book, buy a book, or share a book. It all happens at the Erie County Library. And this week, the Friends of the Library got a visit from Loving Giving Local. There is so much more to the Erie County Library System than just books. But it's the books that keep the place going. Thanks to a volunteer group called the Friends of the Library. 'This is kind of a community center as I see it. It's a place where people can enjoy lifelong learning. You hear the pitter-patter of little feet coming in. Parents and grandparents bringing their kids in, but also adults come in, and they can learn all kinds of wonderful opportunities. learn through the idea lab, how to make things, even how to start a business,' said Many of those opportunities are not funded by tax dollars. That's where the friends come in. They've been helping support programs since the 1980s. 'We're kind of a merry bunch of volunteers. None of us are paid staff. We've got probably over 400 members who help us with our book sales, they help us in our store, they help us collect books,' said Marcy Bencivenga of Friends of the Library. Those donated books from the public are sorted and recycled at a number of used book sales throughout the year. The next one is the Great American Book Sale at the Flo Fabrizio Ice Center. Mark your calendar, June 15-19. Here you can pick up a summer of great reading for just a few bucks. While it's the friends that raise money for the library, it's the library director and staff that decide where to spend it. 'So we use that funding to do programs for children, to do our regular story time, to fund things that happen in the idea lab,' Jessica Spitulski, Erie Co. library director. 'All of the programming that the library does is funded by the Friends, and so we here refer to them as the fairy godparents of the library because they're the ones that help us create the magic.' The friends got a helping hand in the form of a financial donation from Loving Giving Local. 'Well, the Friends of the Erie County Library have been in our community for over 40 years. So, for us to be able to deliver them a donation today, and learn today, this donation we bring will go into one of their youth programs, that's what Loving Giving Local is all about,' Joe Askins of Auto Express Resale Center went on to say.
