Los Angeles authorities have agreed that they will pay Notorious BIG's family $1.1million over those previously reported errors they made during the late rap star's wrongful death trial, and lawyers say an appeal to overturn the judge's order regarding that compensation payment is now unlikely. It's said that the money will most likely cover legal expenses incurred by the family.
As previously reported, the LA police were discovered to have withheld relevant documents from the civil case brought by the Wallace family, and a mistrial was declared. The investigation into Biggie's murder has now been reopened, with a new team of detectives in place. The family will now continue with a retrial of the wrongful death case, maintaining their allegations that a member of the LAPD was involved in the shooting. A date for the new trial is expected to be announced next month.
