To say the Suge Knight cases have been bungled by the
Sheriff’s doesn’t really paint the picture.
They had a responsibility to pursue the shooters in the 1Oak
Nightclub shooting. They had 37 video cameras, an off-duty Sheriff whose name
has been released as Henry Boyd that allegedly let the shooters in the club and
drove them to the airport the next day. But cops don’t investigate cops. They
had every opportunity to solve that crime and they were not just derelict in
their duty – they were overeager to get Suge Knight instead of the shooters
that shot him and the other two victims that night. Allowing shooters to get away with such a public crime sends the signal we all hear that none of our safety matters to the Sheriff's more than protecting one of their own.
At Tam’s they further revealed their agenda. The video shows a gun
being picked up off of Cle Bone’s body. Nobody will admit to having guns there
because they don’t want to go to prison but Cle “Bone” Sloan commits four
felonies before Suge Knight runs over Terry Carter. Assault, battery, attempted
car jacking, and attempted kidnapping are all crimes where Suge Knight was the
victim and they all occurred before Suge drove over Cle “Bone” Sloan and Terry
Carter. By law the commission of a felony that leads to a death in the course
of that felony is by definition murder. Cle “Bone” Sloan should have been
charged with murder. Instead Suge Knight was charged and Cle was given a deal
so that Sheriff’s could finally send Suge Knight to the nethermost parts of the
prison system where he can never reveal what he knows about the former Corrupt
Compton Police that became Los Angeles County Sheriff’s.
They approached these two cases with an agenda instead of
serving the public interests. It shouldn’t matter that Suge Knight has the
reputation as a thug in gangster rap that was largely due to music industry
hype – hype that isn’t provable in a court of law. Every case should only be
brought on merits that stand on their own. Russell Poole knew that this case would
crumble under its own weight and he was offering Sheriff’s the opportunity to
solve the Tupac and Biggie cases instead.
But we know that cops don’t go after cops. This is probably
why the 1Oak case isn’t solved. The lead suspect in both the Biggie and Tupac
murders (a former cop) has said he has immunity granted to him by the CIA for
putting drugs out on the streets of Compton for the Agency. He has claimed that
if he is ever charged he will bring down the entire government of the United
States. Can it really be possible that he knows so much? I doubt our CIA would
ever be protecting him. The CIA keeps America free. They would never engage
petty murderers and drug dealers to kill and deal dope to kids in their name.
But one hour after Russell Poole died in a meeting with Sheriff’s that suspect
knew all of the intimate details of the meeting and he gloated about Russell’s
death and he disparaged Suge Knight. That suspect must be pretty well connected
and protected to have all of the salient details an hour after Russell died and
not because he is connected as he claims to the Central Intelligence Agency.
But who is really pulling the strings at the Sheriff’s as
they aggressively deny Suge Knight a fair trial?
The recent highly publicized theory that Orlando Anderson
and Keefy-D are the shooters of Tupac Shakur and Suge Knight on September 7, 1996 has many fatal flaws. Let's
examine some of them.
The theory goes that Orlando Anderson was mad because he got
beat down by Tupac and the crew so he contacted his uncle and they rolled in a
white Cadillac and shot Tupac and Suge a couple of hours later while the
entourage is making their way to Club 662. (Never mind that the fight was staged - see video below.)
Orlando Anderson is escorted away by Reggie Wright Jr. at
8:55 P.M. Tupac was shot at 11:15 P.M. That means that Orlando Anderson must
depart from his meeting with Reggie Wright Jr., meet up with his uncle -
Keefy-D, find the entourage, and figure out which car Tupac is traveling in,
and shoot Tupac Shakur and Suge Knight. Is that even possible on a fight night in Las Vegas?
Two hours and twenty minutes isn't much time to carry all of this out. Just finding his uncle could have taken an hour, and finding Tupac
and figuring out which car he was in would be impossible without radios and
spotters that require a tremendous amount of planning. According to the theory
that has Orlando Anderson pulling the trigger, there was no planning.
Have you ever been on the Vegas Strip in traffic during
fight night? The cars are bumper to bumper. The intersection where the hit was
carried out was right on the edge of the traffic where the shooters could get
away and that implies a high degree of planning. Orlando Anderson being
detained by security makes it highly unlikely that he could hook back up with
his uncle and the entourage... unless Reggie Wright Jr. helped him hook back up
with them. But there are other problems with this even if Orlando had help.
Cathy Scott talks about Orlando Anderson being badly beaten
in the scuffle and in no condition to retaliate. Watch the MGM surveillance
tape again. How many blows does Anderson sustain? Tupac talked about Tyson
landing 50 punches. In about the same amount of time, Orlando Anderson is
punched and kicked by multiple people. Was he in any condition to plan a hit
with his uncle? Corey Edwards says Orlando seemed OK after the scuffle.
Corey Edwards runs into Orlando Anderson at
the bar before news of Tupac being shot had reached them. There were many
others there that could verify this including a professional basketball player.
That news travelled fast in these circles as everybody in the cars following
Tupac had cell phones and they burned up the telephone lines with news of the
shooting. So in between the scuffle and the shooting, Orlando Anderson was seen
in the bar. Corey Edwards hears later about Tupac being shot.
Orlando Anderson makes the statement that he adjourned to
his room. Both of these statements are easily verifiable. Las Vegas has an eye
in the sky everywhere... Las Vegas Police verify this easily and have no
interest in Orlando Anderson as Tupac's shooter when offered up by the Corrupt
Compton Police.
As for the Keefy-D confession obtained in exchange for
a proffer deal that was illegally recorded, Keefy-D would have said anything to
get out of a potential prison sentence. The confession is coerced as Keefy-D
has stated. According to a recently interviewed former Assistant United States
Attorney, "FBI Profer deals are never recorded." This would violate
the interviewee’s Fifth Amendment Rights. So if the taped recorded interview
was indeed recorded it was done so without permission of the Federal Government
and in violation of the rights of Keefy-D. Just the type of behavior you would expect from a corrupt cop that was caught altering witness testimony.
Keffy-D has a reputation for making up stories. Darnell Brim
was recorded by J. Gollaz and T. Bracia of LAPD as saying about Keefy-D, "He
likes to talk a lot. He keeps stuff going; like hearsay stuff. Like when my
homeboy Lee got killed he was saying that he saw what happened including that
he seen my car driving away from the shooting. He was saying that I was the guy
who shot Lee. When he found out that. I was locked down. He changed his story
and said that it was someone who looked like me. He keeps a lot of stuff going like
girls do. I asked him about it when I got out of jail. He said something like, 'you know what's going on, you don't like us and we don't like you, just
keep it like that.'"
Now think of one of the most fatal flaws in this theory: the
fact that Michael Moore heard, "got-em" come over Former Compton Cop and head of Death Row Security, Reggie Wright Jr.'s
radio that night at the time of the shooting. That means someone was watching
and reporting on a radio and that indicates a high degree of planning. That
fully refutes the theory that Orlando Anderson pulled the trigger that night.
Compton Police arrested Anderson with the full expectation
that he would be charged with the murder of Tupac Shakur. He was offered up to
Las Vegas Police but because they knew he wasn't the shooter as his alibi
checked out, he was never charged, tried, or convicted of the murder of Tupac
Shakur.
You can read more about this in Chaos Merchants and Tupac:187 - Russell Poole's final words on the murders of Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls before his tragic death meeting with Sheriff's about the cases.
Growing up in Compton wasn't like growing up in any other city in America. The Crips were recruiting and they were aggressive. At Centennial High School there were 16 young men that were attacked because they refused membership into the gang. Many of them came from Piru Street in Compton. They created an affiliation to stand up to the pressures created by the Crips and the Bloods were born.
Because they are severely outnumbered they must adhere to a much more stringent set of rules to survive. They carve the code of conduct into their hearts. When a member of the Piru Set gives their word that someone is guaranteed safety in coming to a peace meeting it must be adhered to or there will be severe consequences. A Piru's word is his bond.
Terry Carter's brother was one of the original 16 members of the Piru. Suge Knight would know that since he grew up in the neighborhood. Carter giving his word that Suge Knight could feel safe in coming down to Compton to settle up with Dr. Dre for monies he was owed for the Apple Beats Deal and his portion of the budget for the movie Straight Outta Compton was something that Suge Knight could take to the bank. He should never have been attacked in a peace meeting as Carter told him this was... but we all know that isn't what happened.
How was Suge Knight owed money? When Eazy-E and Jerry Heller settled their lawsuit with Suge Knight they signed over the name NWA to Knight. That name was used freely in the movie and Suge should have been paid for it. Also, the likeness of Suge Knight appeared in the movie and even Ice Cube said that Suge should be paid. Also, when Dr. Dre left Death Row Records, Suge Knight signed a lifetime management contract with Dr. Dre. That meant that some of the Beats money had a legitimate claim by Suge Knight. Clearly there was some money he could expect to be paid and that was at least the subject of a negotiation.
But we all know Compton is a dangerous place. We also know that Suge Knight survived an attack by two shooters at the 1Oak Nightclub on August 24, 2014. Allegedly an off-duty Sheriff let the shooters into the club that night and the crime scene was allegedly bungled by Richard Biddle, a Sheriff investigator. That is why even though Sheriff's know the identity of the shooters they have never filed charges for attempted murder against them. There were 38 cameras in the club that night. Sheriff's blame Suge Knight being non-cooperative as the reason no charges are filed but video evidence is much more reliable than eye-witness testimony and the Sheriff's have all of the tapes.
In light of Suge's shooting at 1Oak and knowing that Compton is a dangerous place can anyone understand why Suge might be a little jumpy? When I look at the videotape I see an object being put into a waistband. If Suge Knight thought that was a gun it is enough justification to support his actions that night.
Clearly this was a homicide as Terry Carter died. The question becomes was this a justifiable homicide?
The Sheriff's made it clear to Russell Poole that they were going to try to throw the book at Suge Knight because they finally could send him away forever but the facts of this case don't justify their actions especially since they have failed to successfully prosecute his shooters at 1Oak and Richard Biddle was the investigator at Tam's (a conflict of interest that Russell would point out). Suge may have a cause of action against Sheriff's in civil court and he clearly has a cause of action against the City of Los Angeles for the LAPD's leak of the Tupac confession letter because Suge Knight was a victim of that crime too. Why else would there be so much publicity recently naming Suge Knight as the murderer of Biggie Smalls?
That is quite a stretch since Suge Knight was in LA County Jail at the time Biggie Smalls was murdered at Fairfax and Wilshire. Russell had previously blamed Suge for Tupac's murder because of a document leaked by LA County Sheriff's in 1998 blaming Suge Knight for the murder of Tupac. Russell felt bad once he knew Suge had nothing to do with it. He also believed it would be very difficult to prove that Suge had anything to do with Biggie's murder. They put listening devices in Suge's cell in prison. They searched his cell and always came up empty. Russell knew off-duty LAPD had carried out Biggie's murder using a shooter they could cut loose. He also knew Compton Police were there too. He was meeting with Sheriff's on August 19, 2015. He was trying to convince Sheriff's that their case against Suge Knight was crumbling and to reopen the cases of Tupac and Biggie's murders that he felt could now be solved. He brought proof that Compton Police were involved in those murders with him to the meeting that day as well as the information that an off-duty Sheriff participated in the attempted murder of Suge Knight. As we know Russell died in that meeting.
Suge Knight was the head of a gangster rap label. He was tough as nails and ran the company with an iron fist. He was in over his head as was Tupac. He was set-up to be murdered along with Tupac 20 years ago and his company was taken from him. You can trace his troubles from today straight back to that Las Vegas night of September 7, 1996. He was in Compton on a mission of peace to settle finances with Dr. Dre as Terry Carter promised him and he had a Piru word from the code that is written in every Piru's heart that he was safe. He never should have been attacked that night. Any reasonable person would have fled as he did even if it meant driving over someone to escape.
In the words of an eye-witness, "This is Compton man!!!"
You can read more about this in Chaos Merchants and Tupac:187 - Russell Poole's final words on the murders of Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls before his tragic death meeting with Sheriff's about the cases.
By now we have seen that Reggie Wright Sr., of the Compton Police, is on the MGM Surveillance Tape. He is supervising the interrogation of Orlando Anderson way outside of his jurisdiction. That indicates that the fight was staged but why?
Tupac had already fired his attorney David Kenner and according to Reggie Wright Jr., Security Manager of Death Row Records, he had been fired too. Reggie was playing games with the security that night and Suge told Reggie to knock it off and stop playing games but clearly Reggie's feelings were hurt.
This is pure speculation about the incidents that night. But it is all based upon things we know. There was a file in the Death Row Seizure by police that had Orlando Anderson's name on it. He was being paid for something, that much we know.
Reggie Wright Sr. as captured on the MGM Video
If Tupac was leaving Death Row Records, and we have lots of evidence of that, how does a record label let a cash-cow walk out the door? Truth is they employ all means to keep that cash-cow happy and recording on their label. When we look at Death Row Records tactics we know that Suge Knight used an artist's vulnerability with the law against him when it came to contract time. Snoop Dogg was signed a day after his arrest for murder. Tupac was signed while he was getting his twice daily cavity searches in Dannemora Prison. That contract was prepared September 15, 1995 and signed by Suge Knight and was signed by Tupac Shakur on September 16, 1995. Completion of the three albums called for in that contract were coming to a close and there was at best a renegotiation happening and at worst Tupac leaving the label.
The charade being played on Tupac was the staged fight at the MGM. The evidence is all there. You can see Reggie Wright Jr. on the tape hiding behind a woman from the cameras as he walks by. They were aware of the cameras and knew the fight would be caught on the surveillance tape. Reggie Wright Jr. leaves with Orlando Anderson at the conclusion of his interrogation. But again why stage the fight?
Last Photo of Tupac. Does he look happy? Suge was most likely renegotiating with Tupac as shots rang out.
Suge was known to use leverage to keep his artists in check. He used the legal defense of Snoop against him to keep Snoop generating revenue for Death Row Records. Snoop owed over five million dollars for that defense and was personally receiving very little of the money he earned in order to pay Death Row Records back for that debt.
Beyond the hand-written contract there was little to no leverage on Tupac. They needed to create leverage. The staged Orlando Anderson fight was their attempt to create that leverage.
In Got Your Back, Frank Alexander, Tupac's Bodyguard that night, writes, "When Pac snapped, he wasn't thinking about consequences, he never did with fighting. He just loved to fight and never cared about getting in trouble. All he wanted to do was get it out of his system." Fight night in Vegas would be a perfect opportunity to manipulate Tupac Shakur.
Trevon, who was next to Tupac at the MGM, whispered something into Tupac's ear and he took the bait and began the scuffle. At the time Tupac was out of prison pending an appeal. Getting involved in a scuffle would clearly send him back to prison if the tape made it to the authorities. There were no charges filed at the time and Orlando Anderson was released to go about his business - the people supervising the incident saw to that. The tape was probably collected by someone related to Kenner or Wright that night to use as leverage against Tupac later if he refused to come back to Death Row Records, Kenner, and Wright.
The MGM tape was entered into evidence in Suge's hearings on the probation violation by David Kenner not by the prosecution as is customary. In fact, all of the testimony came from Compton Police... even the statements acquired by Las Vegas Police were entered into evidence by the Compton Police headed up by Reggie Wright Sr. Frank Alexander's statement was of particular interest because what Kenner read to Alexander on the recorded telephone call is far different from the actual statement made by Alexander to Brent Becker. Somehow it was altered from the time Frank made it to the time it was entered into evidence. Alexander is warned to "not get subpoenaed" by Reggie Wright Jr. or it could have serious consequences to him and his family. When they couldn't kill Suge they were all working hard to send him away and he was not aware of his new "pawn" status until many years later.
Alexander again writes, "The fact was, the situations surrounding Tupac kept getting deeper and deeper all the time, and it became more and more apparent we were all in over our heads."
But most likely Suge was aware of the staged Orlando Anderson fight as a ploy to renegotiate with Tupac. Suge rushes Tupac away from the Mike Tyson fight for a reason. The Orlando Anderson incident happens and then they all get to the house of Suge for a reset. Tupac is asked to ride with Suge alone so they can discuss Tupac's future. Tupac is probably told he needs to remain at Death Row Records or that fight he was just caught in on videotape will be used by the authorities to send him back to prison. Suge probably told him that Kenner already had the tape and Tupac could determine his fate by playing along or he could be turned back over to the authorities who all had an axe to grind with Tupac. Look at the last image of Tupac. He doesn't look very happy. He looks like his entire life has been turned upside down.
What Suge and Tupac didn't know that night was that there was another plan at work that had them in the cross-hairs, in the same car, without any bodyguards, and without any guns. Both of them were set to die.
You can read more about this in Chaos Merchants and Tupac:187 - Russell Poole's final words on the murders of Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls before his tragic death meeting with Sheriff's about the cases.
There are things which can easily be known simply based upon chain reactions. I used to mix baking soda and vinegar as a child to watch the reaction. It doesn't take too long before there is an explosion when the two ingredients are mixed in a bottle and the cap is screwed on.
Walk through the hood with a million dollar medallion and see how long you survive. Now picture walking through the ghetto with five hundred times that around your neck and you come to understand what Suge Knight was doing back in 1996. There were many forces beyond his control at work.
Saying this was about money doesn't really paint the picture. Money is a down payment on a house or what we use to pay the rent. This was about millions and millions of dollars - about living on eazy-street for generations. This was about life altering amounts of cash and everybody wanted Suge Knight dead so the looting of Death Row Records could begin and that looting is still going on today.
Chaos Merchants takes us through the evidence that Death Row Records was in play and that Tupac and Suge Knight were both greenlit for murder on the night of September 7, 1996. Chaos Merchants was what Russell Poole was working on when he passed away on August 19th 2015 pitching the Sheriff's Department on solving the two biggest mysteries in the history of music. Russell was in effect apologizing to Suge Knight for all of those years he shouted from the rooftops that Suge Knight was behind the murder of Tupac Shakur.
Think about the change that Russell made in his viewpoint. He believed for nearly 20 years that Suge Knight was behind Tupac's murder because so much of the evidence pointed toward Death Row Records. When the evidence started pointing toward Suge as a victim that night and the people implicated were those around Suge it all began to make sense.
The recent allegations that Sean Puffy Combs was behind Tupac's murder were fully debunked in Tupac:187. The gaping holes were exposed. That book was the catalyst that lead to additional clues coming in that painted the clear picture of what happened that night. Russell and I were assembling those clues to present to investigators and what resulted from our investigation became "Chaos Merchants."
Looking at the MGM footage yielded clues that the entire Orlando Anderson incident had been staged to set up a motive for what would happen a few hours later. The clues have been here all this time. Russell was going to meet with Sheriff's knowing that an off-duty Compton Cop was supervising the Orlando Anderson incident. That same cop was absorbed into the Sheriff's Department when Compton Police were disbanded. Russell was also going to talk about an off-duty Sheriff letting shooters into the 1Oak Nightclub the night Suge Knight was shot six times on August 24th, 2014. That same Sheriff was caught on video dropping the shooters off at the airport the next day. Russell was going into the den of the lion to ask Sheriff's to do the right thing.
We did not know at the time that the Sheriff supervising the Orlando Anderson incident had only retired in 2014 from the Sheriff's a month before Suge was shot at 1Oak. We did not know that the LAPD cop caught hiding evidence in his desk drawer during the first Wallace Civil Trial was now the Captain of Homicide at the Sheriff's. That trial was ruled a mistrial when thousands of pages of information implicating Rampart Scandal officers in the murder of rapper Christopher Wallace were found hidden in the desk drawer and kept from the plaintiffs in the case. We also did not know that four of the investigators in the Suge Knight cases were waiting to meet with Russell instead of the lone promised homicide investigator who feigned interest in reopening the cases.
Russell was walking into a very explosive situation.
Russell Poole three days before his death. He had a spring in his step as I spoke to him that morning. He was meeting with investigators to solve the two cases that haunted him every day for nearly 20 years. He was hiking six miles a day and was confident that he was armed with the truth. Years before, Russell was fearful that LAPD was gutting the murder books in the cases and he made photocopies of all of the case files before he left the department. He was moved off of the investigation and his fears were confirmed as the files were all purged to derail any future investigation. Russell preserved history by making photocopies. The book Labyrinth by Randall Sullivan is about Russell Poole and the Rampart Scandal.
Reggie Wright Sr. from the movie Biggie and Tupac. By the time the movie was shot Reggie Wright Sr. was a Los Angeles County Sheriff. He retired from the department in 2014 just a month before Suge Knight was shot six times in the 1Oak Nightclub. That venue was chosen because Sheriff's would respond and that response could be controlled by those close to Wright Sr. The altercation at Tam's in Compton was also responded to by LA County Sheriff's and the same investigator who handled the shooting at 1Oak also handled the Tam's investigation. Russell was convinced this was a conflict of interest.
Reggie Wright Sr. captured on the MGM Surveillance tape the night Tupac Shakur and Suge Knight were shot in Las Vegas. It was necessary to ensure that Orlando Anderson was not detained for too long or they could not pin the murder of Tupac and Suge on him... at least that was the plan. The hit was a complete failure. Tupac looked like he would survive and Suge was only grazed. They would use the exact same tactics on the Biggie Smalls hit with an experience modification of a professional shooter and armor piercing ammunition. In effect they learned from their mistakes.
This is a rare photo of Reggie Wright Jr. back at the height of Death
Row Records. He was Suge Knight's personal bodyguard and the head of
Death Row Security. He disarmed all of the bodyguards that night and was
in control of where everybody would be and controlled all assignments
including many off-duty Las Vegas Police working security that night.
Death Row Records had learned that compromising investigations by hiring
off-duty cops was a lethal way bury the truth. It worked at the El Rey
beating of Kelley Jamerson and it worked in the beating of Mark Anthony
Bell. Bodyguard Michael Moore was standing next to Reggie Wright Jr. at
the time of the shooting of Tupac and Suge. Moore heard "got-em" come
over Wright's radio. With 13 bullets fired it really looked like they
"got-em!!!"
Reggie Wright Jr. leads Orlando Anderson away the night Tupac and Suge were shot in Las Vegas. Russell Poole was going to Sheriff's with all of the above photos as well as the information that an off-duty Sheriff was involved in the plot to kill Suge Knight on August 24th 2014. The photos were highly troublesome for Sheriff's who had just weathered a storm that led to 20 indictments. Russell was pitching the Sheriff's on solving the murders of Tupac and Biggie that he felt could be solved. Russell died in that meeting. Less than two hours after Russell's death Reggie Wright Jr. released a YouTube video gloating about Russell's death and threatening RJ Bond's life and any others that would investigate him. Reggie Wright Jr. revealed that he knew all of the intimate details of the meeting investigators had with Russell. He knew for weeks that the meeting would happen. In fact, the meeting had been scheduled for three weeks prior to the meeting occurring. How does a suspect in two murders know the details of a meeting with Sheriff's investigators to reopen those specific murder cases?
Tupac:187 debunks the myth that Sean Puffy Combs had anything to do with the murder of Tupac Shakur. That myth first surfaced as a rumor planted by Death Row Records management while Suge Knight was behind bars. It was meant to send investigators down the wrong path.
Chaos Merchants is the book Russell Poole and Michael Carlin were collaborating on at the time of Russell's death. The first section of the book was what Russell took to the meeting with the LA County Sheriff's investigators the day he died. The day before Russell's meeting the Sheriff Investigator called to talk about what they would be meeting about and confirmed to Russell that an off-duty Sheriff had let the shooters into the 1Oak Nightclub the night Suge Knight was shot six times on August 24th 2014. Russell insisted that each fact be documented with the source. There are over 300 footnotes in the book and many of those lead to a link of the source.

August 19, 2015
Russell
is an American Hero. He knew the risks of what he was doing. We talked about
it. He and I made a pact that if one of us was killed the other would get the
information out there where it could be used to bring the killers to justice.
He died for something he believed in. He died because the Tupac and Biggie
cases have always stuck in his craw and he wanted to solve them. He did solve
them. He first tried to meet with LAPD and they burned him. He thought the
Sheriff’s provided an alternative that would serve justice. He hiked six miles
a day and was in better health than I had ever seen him in. His spirits were
high as he felt finally there would be someone that would bring this case to
closure.
I
spoke with Russell Poole at 9 AM this morning. He was stuck in traffic in
Diamond Bar on the 60 and he was on the way to meet with the LA County Sheriff’s
in Monterey Park. I had talked to him yesterday about cancelling the meeting
but out of respect for Jim McDonnell he felt he should go through with it. He
was on his way to talk about the murder of Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls with
summary pages that were footnoted about the case. Russell told me he was going
to call me the minute he got out of the meeting and let me know what was said.
I waited and waited but got no word from him. I sent a few inquiring text
messages and got no response.
About
5:30 PM I got a text message from one of my confidential informants telling me
that Russell Poole was dead. I immediately looked it up on Google and sure
enough the news reports were already in that Russell had died. It is strange
that it hit the media before his family was notified. I was the one that called
his aunt and she broke down in tears from the news.
What
is also strange is that Bomb1st had an interview from Reggie Wright Jr. who
already had the news and he said he was glad Russell was dead[1].
He also talked about our summary pages of information like he had those pages
in front of him. He knew exactly what Russell was there to discuss. I know
because Russell and I spent hours on the telephone discussing this meeting and
preparing for it. How did Reggie Wright Jr. know about what homicide
investigators were discussing with Russell minutes after the meeting and
Russell dying?
This
ties back directly to Suge Knight’s current legal troubles, his shooting at the
1Oak night club and the attempt on Suge’s life on the night of September 7th
1996, when Tupac was shot and later died as a result of the wounds he received
that night. My opinion is that Russell was murdered because we have uncovered
the truth about the murder of Tupac Shakur. It is reminiscent of the attempted
murder of Michael “Harry-O” Harris while he was in prison and given a 7-up by
one of the central characters in this story. It also makes me wonder if Tupac
wasn’t given something in those final hours. He seemed to be on the mend and
took a turn for the worse and then his body was rushed off to be cremated.
The
truth is that an off-duty Sheriff was videotaped letting the two shooters into
the 1Oak Nightclub to kill Suge Knight. They picked the nightclub because the
Sheriffs would respond to the crime scene. Standard protocol was not observed
and they turned out the nightclub without getting witness statements. The crime
scene was purposely bungled by Sheriffs so that no prosecution could ever by
made. The same off-duty Sheriff was caught on videotape dropping the shooters
off at LAX. He was brought in for questioning and fired. The investigation led
to a payment of $50,000 to the shooters by someone directly tied to this story
who was questioned. But no charges have ever been filed. Then Suge is lured
down to the Straight Outta Compton set where he will again be in LA County
Sheriff’s jurisdiction. Again the crime scene is bungled and key witnesses are
allowed to leave without giving statements or getting their contact
information.
THE SAME INVESTIGATOR HANDLED BOTH
CRIME SCENES WHICH IS A HUGE CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Then
David Kenner is appointed as Suge’s attorney. Suge claims that David Kenner
stole 80 million dollars from him.[2]
Kenner tries to make deals with the prosecution to sell Suge Knight down the
river. On March 2nd there is a hearing to transfer the case to
downtown. Suge Knight rises and fires David Kenner. Ignoring Suge there is
discussion after David Kenner is fired and they try to reach a deal for Suge
Knight. There is a closed-door meeting after Kenner is fired with Kenner and
those transcripts have been withheld and then they were doctored before being
released.
On
March 17th the Sheriff Investigator that handled both cases – the
one embroiled in the conflict of interest visits the judge and gets him to sign
a protective order that would not allow Suge Knight to have any other contact
(incoming or outgoing) with anyone other than David Kenner. That protective
order is signed 15 days after David Kenner was fired as Suge Knight’s attorney.
The Sheriff’s Investigator called Russell Poole yesterday
to ask about what they would discuss. Russell told the investigator that he
knew that an off-duty Sheriff had participated in the attempted murder on Suge
Knight. He told them that they had a dog case on their hands and that they
could save themselves from ultimate embarrassment when it became public that an
off-duty Sheriff participated in the attempt on Suge Knight. The investigator
urged Poole to bring all of his case files on a disk to provide to
investigators. He confirmed that, indeed an off-duty Sheriff had participated in the attempt on Suge Knight and asked Russell how he came to possess this information. Russell said he did
not disclose the source of this information.
So now Suge Knight’s life is in danger. Why? The Compton
Police Department was corrupt and they were not disbanded instead they were
absorbed into the LA County Sheriff’s Department. The Compton Police were
involved in the murder of Tupac Shakur and the cover-up. Reggie Wright Sr. is
on the full MGM surveillance tape watching Orlando Anderson be interrogated.
Look at the end of the tape. Who is it that shakes Orlando Anderson’s hand and
takes him away at the end of the tape? Is it the same man who knows about
Russell’s visit and the intimate details of their conversation?
There are still remnants of the corruption inside of the
Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department. They have access to the jail system. I
believe that Suge Knight is in danger now and that they have been attempting to
kill him ever since September 7, 1996 because of the hundreds of millions of
dollars Death Row Records was worth at the time. If he is not removed from the
Sheriff control there is a high probability he will not survive.
I like Sheriff Jim McDonnell and I supported him in his Sheriff’s
campaign. I met with him last year in March and wrote an article about him. You
can see it on the American News Service Website.[3]
It is my opinion that Jim has no idea about the corruption that still exists
within the Sheriff’s Department. There are over 18,000 employees and he has yet
to clean house. Now is the time Sheriff for you to act swiftly to solve the
Tupac and Biggie Murders and to do the right thing here in the memory of
Russell Poole. Russell’s father was an LA County Sheriff for decades. He was
well respected and he deserves for you to treat his son right.
To Jim McDonnell on a personal note. Today I called you
on your cell phone. I sent you numerous text messages and you have yet to
respond to me. Please do the right thing for Russell Poole. It was you that set
up this meeting. We discussed it on July 22nd. There needs to be a
full investigation into this death with a coroner’s looking into all exotic
toxins that could trigger a heart attack. Then again we know there are
substances that are untraceable. Please do the right thing here.

WHAT RUSSELL
GAVE TO THE SHERIFF
INVESTIGATORS.
I apologize for the rough form that the rest of
this document is in but it was only a draft and not scheduled to be released
until September 13th. I am releasing it now so that the truth has a
chance of getting out there. Russell’s estate and I retain the copyright but I
intend for all of you to know that we encourage you to share it with true Tupac
and Biggie Fans. Read Russell Poole's final words on #Tupac & #Biggie murders
