The trial, which is expected to last about a month, is set to include Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ former bodyguard Eugene Deal, ex-Las Vegas mayor Oscar Goodman, and Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo, who was an officer with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department at the time.
Additional testimony had been expected from Death Row Records co-founder Marion ‘Suge’ Knight, who was injured in the same shooting that killed Shakur.
Knight is currently serving a 28-year prison sentence in California for voluntary manslaughter stemming from a fatal 2015 hit-and-run. However, the now 61-year-old has indicated he will refuse to testify.
“This trial has nothing to do with me, and if somebody brings me there, it’s gonna hurt whoever brings me there,” Knight told ABC News. “I promise you that.”
Knight said while he has no loyalty to Davis, he’s also not a “snitch.”
“To actually get on the stand, and point somebody out, it’s worse than taking a gun and shooting that man in the head,” he said. “Because if you shoot a person in the head, they die once. If you get on the stand and you snitch on that person, they die a million times.”
