James McDonald, also known as "Mob James," appeared in court as a witness. He was questioned about the 1996 murder of rapper Tupac Shakur.
McDonald was a former associate of Death Row Records. He testified on the second day of the trial for Duane "Keffe D" Davis. Davis is accused of Shakur's murder.
During his testimony, McDonald was combative. He refused to answer certain questions from the prosecution.
McDonald stated he would not break what he called "street code." This code prevents revealing information about certain activities.
The trial is ongoing. Prosecutors are seeking to build a case against Davis for the murder of Shakur.
The court heard details about the events leading up to Shakur's death. McDonald's testimony aimed to provide further insight.
His refusal to fully cooperate presents a challenge for the prosecution. They must find other ways to present evidence.
The case continues to draw significant attention due to the high-profile nature of the victim and the alleged perpetrator.
