> In closing arguments, prosecutor Binu Palal told jurors to take Davis at his word and find him guilty.
> For years, he argued, Davis had been telling people "that he is responsible for Tupac Shakur's murder" through documentaries, his memoir, podcasts and a police interview.
> Throughout the trial, Davis' defence team tried to persuade jurors that his comments were fiction - bravado and exaggeration intended to sell books and make money.
I feel like there's a song about this... [1]
Gangsters telling on themselves can be almost funny from a distance, but that violence and lack of justice is real. It's hard not to feel sick to your stomach when you see a case like the Nathan Leigh shooting, where a Toronto gangster did broad daylight execution (attempted) on camera, beat the case, and has been rapping about the crime for years later [2].

Wild. Never expected this. Guess it wasn’t Suge, which is the biggest surprise.
I wonder if they’ll find Biggie’s killer next.

Almost 30 years to the day (Sept 7, 1996), wild indeed.

I mean Suge was driving the car and Tupac in the passenger seat. Seems risky.

Rap snitches, telling all their business
Sit in the court and be their own star witness
"Do you see the perpetrator?" "Yeah, I'm right here"
Fuck around, get the whole label sent up for years

He'd fit quite well in Silicon Valley.
