Summary
Inside a federal courtroom in Manhattan Monday, prosecutors presented jurors with portions of three sexually explicit videos said to feature Sean Combs in what witnesses have described as “freak-off” sex marathons. The clips, played only for jurors and courtroom parties wearing headphones, came from a cellphone linked to Combs and turned over by his former girlfriend, Casandra Ventura.
Two teenage brothers have been sentenced to 20 years in prison for their roles in a drive-by shooting that killed a 5-year-old girl in Albuquerque. The shooting, part of a surge in violence in 2023, led New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham to declare a public health emergency, temporarily restricting guns in public parks and playgrounds.
