Tupac’s M-ur-der Trial Takes a Mysterious Turn as Suge Knight Refuses to “Snitch” on the Man Accused of K-il-ling Him 🔥
Suge Knight’s refusal to testify in the upcoming murder trial for the only man arrested and accused of killing Tupac Shakur could complicate the prosecution’s strategy, RadarOnline.com can report.
The former record executive, who is serving a 28-year sentence for an unrelated conviction, is the only known living eyewitness to the 1996 drive-by execution of the rap icon on the streets of Las Vegas.
What Does Suge Knight Know?

Jury selection is now underway for the trial of Duane “Keffe D” Davis, who seemingly confessed to orchestrating the hit on Shakur in his explosive memoir. However, he’s since changed his story and claims he is innocent.
Perhaps the only person to know the truth besides Davis is Knight. The Death Row Records co-founder was behind the wheel of the BMW carrying Shakur when gunfire erupted near the Las Vegas Strip on September 7, 1996.
Knight was wounded in the attack, while Shakur suffered critical injuries and died six days later.
Nearly three decades after the shooting, Knight says his lips are sealed, as he does not want to be known as a “snitch.”
‘Getting Anything Out of Knight’ Could Prove Difficult

But Sam Mirejovsky, attorney and partner at Sam & Ash Law in Las Vegas, told Radar that prosecutors don’t need Knight’s cooperation; they just need his body.
“Knight is in California custody, so Nevada goes through the Uniform Act to Secure Attendance of Witnesses,” Mirejovsky explained. “A Nevada certificate, a California judge signs off, and he is produced or he testifies by video. Consent is not part of that process.”
Still, there might be little prosecutors can do to get the 61-year-old to actually talk – especially if he has nothing to lose by staying silent.
“Getting him on the stand is the easy part. Getting anything useful out of him is not,” the lawyer continued. “Contempt means nothing to a man serving twenty-eight years, and a hostile witness who blames the people who brought him is a gift to the defense.”
