Ex-gang boss sentenced to 40 years for orchestrating Tupac Shakur's murder

Sekyiwa Shakur asked the judge to give Davis the maximum sentence, telling Davis he will sit in prison and "contemplate what you've done to the world, not just to me".Shakur's brother, Maurice Shakur, also addressed the court, asking the judge for "the longest possible sentence".Davis was asked by Judge Carli Kierny if he had anything to say, to which he replied: "I'm good. I'm gonna appeal this case for sure."Before handing down the sentence, Kierny told him: "You don't get to take a man from his family."You don't get to take his very life, his whole future from him, and just walk away from it. Especially when that man is Tupac Shakur. The world never forgot about him and his death."ReutersA 1996 photo of rapper Tupac Shakur (L) and Marion "Suge" Knight displayed during the murder trialThe key evidence in the case were Davis' own words, in which he repeatedly and publicly acknowledged being inside the white Cadillac from where the deadly shots were fired.In exchange for being shielded from criminal prosecution, he told authorities about his role in Shakur's death during a secret 2008 police interview relating to the death of fellow rapper Notorious B.I.G., real name Christopher Wallace, who was killed in a shooting just months after Shakur.
