Judge nixes conviction of one of two men found guilty of killing Run-DMC’s Jam Master Jay Nearly two years after a jury delivered its verdict, the decision came from the same Brooklyn federal judge who presided over the trial.

ATLANTA — Deliberations are underway in Atlanta after a year of testimony in the gang and racketeering trial that originally included the rapper Young Thug. Jurors end 1st day of deliberations without a verdict in the YSL gang and racketeering trial Jurors are considering whether to convict Shannon Stillwell and Deamonte Kendrick, who raps as Yak Gotti, on gang, murder, drug and gun charges.

Published by Parlour News

Tupac Shakur’s death is probably one of the biggest unsolved mysteries in the music world. What happened on September 7, 1996, when the revolutionary rapper was shot multiple times, resulting in his untimely and tragic demise, is now said to have some Diddy links. Sean Combs, Tupac Shakur McCollum, who has extensive experience in the case, argues that the origins of this violent rivalry can be traced back to a previous shooting incident involving Shakur in 1994. While the connection to Diddy is not new, the crime scene investigator’s statement has surely opened a new chapter as Diddy faces charges related to racketeering and Sex trafficking. Diddy connected to Tupac’s death? “This whole thing to me started in 1994 — the first time Tupac is shot,” Sheryl McCollum spoke to NewNation on Saturday. “You ain’t gotta shoot somebody five times to take their jewelry and their money,” the crime scene investigator who worked on the case back in 1996 added. “Sean ‘Puffy’ Combs and his entourage of 40? Unharmed. Unthreatened,” she questioned. “How does that …

A sessions court on Wednesday granted bail to Kavita Shah, a 47-year-old woman booked for the alleged murder of her husband by poisoning him with arsenic and thallium mixed with his food. Kavita was arrested in 2022, days after the death of her husband, Kamalkant Shah, a textile businessman in Santacruz.

Medical tests on Shah revealed excessive traces of thallium and arsenic, which can be used as poison. After Shah passed away during hospitalisation, the police filed a case of murder and arrested Kavita along with co-accused Hitesh Jain, claiming they had planned the murder together as they were in a relationship. Kavita had maintained she was falsely implicated and that she had taken every care to ensure medical attention to her husband, including taking him to the hospital and getting him admitted herself. She also claimed the food in the house was made …
