    > 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].

      People are easily disgusted by violent acts and yet they often only harm a single individual directly and few indirectly.

      People that commit fraud are more welcoming to the public but they are the ones that harm the most people.

      Example: Brett Farve, a millionaire, is still likable while at the same time he stole from a welfare system that was designed to help the poorest in the state of Mississippi. He is directly responsible for harm enumerable number of people.

      I am more disgusted by the fraudsters of the world than people like Luigi Mangione. I wish more people would realize that corrupt wealthy individuals cause the most harm against humanity than those that commit singular violent acts.

        Violence ripples out. It’s never just one person. Living in a violent society has huge costs on all of us.

    Wild. Never expected this. Guess it wasn’t Suge, which is the biggest surprise.

    I wonder if they’ll find Biggie’s killer next.

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

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

    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.

      what used to be a crime becomes a business model.

      Is it just me or does it seem like they should have caught this guy sooner?
      • lenerdenator13 minutes ago
        Having a guy write lyrics about a killing is one thing.

        Having enough evidence to take to a grand jury, get an indictment, and convince a petit jury beyond a reasonable doubt, and survive appeals is another.
