Tupac murder trial: Suge Knight associate testifies as 'hostile witness' amid gang tensions

Thirty years after Tupac Shakur was shot dead on a Las Vegas street, a courtroom is attempting what time and silence have long resisted: a reckoning with the night of September 7, 1994. On the trial's second day, medical testimony confirmed what the world already knew, while a reluctant witness from Death Row Records' inner circle reminded the jury that some truths are still guarded by old codes of loyalty and fear. The case turns on a question as old as violence itself — whether one man acted alone, or whether he was carried by something larger and darker than himself.
