Another set back in the Notorious BIG investigations

A paid police informant has told the LA Times that his earlier sworn claims that Suge Knight and a rogue LAPD officer were involved in the Notorious BIG killing were only hearsay.

Another development in the never-ending investigations into just who killed the Notorious BIG back in 1997. In a new report in the LA Times, journalist Chuck Philips says a crucial witness in past investigations now says his evidence was just "hearsay". The witness was a paid police informant who said while under oath in a civil lawsuit that hip hop mogul Suge Knight and a rogue LAPD officer were involved in the killing. However, according to Philips, the informant, who describes himself as a paranoid schizophrenic, now says those allegations were mere rumour. Which sets back an already faltering investigation even further.
