Synopsis

In 2002, acclaimed journalist Randall Sullivans groundbreaking book LAbyrinth ignited a firestorm with its startling disclosures about corruption in the LAPD. It told the story of Russell Poole, a highly decorated LAPD detective, who uncovered a cabal of gangsta cops tied to Marion Suge Knights notorious rap label, Death Row Records, and allegedly to the murders of Tupac Shakur and the Notorious B.I.G. Over twenty years later, no one has been held accountable for their killings. Now, Dead Wrong tells the story of the last sixteen years in the B.I.G. investigations and uncovers the conspiracy of silence that met the estates wrongful death suit against the city. Back in 2001, an eyewitness identified the man who shot Biggie as Amir Muhammad, a man who was a former LAPD officer, Death Row associate, and convicted bank robber David Macks college roommate and the only man to visit him in prison. Pooles investigation was repeatedly directed away from Mack and Muhammad, and the wrongful death lawsuit sought to make the city explain whybut instead, investigators encountered a disturbing pattern of selective investigation, hidden evidence, and possible witness tampering. Exclusive interviews with the FBIs lead investigator of the Biggie murder demonstrate a conspiracy that went to the top and that implicates some of the most powerful men in law enforcement nationally.

This book is much more cohesive than the previous book, largely due to the amount of time that has passed on this case. Again, it doesn’t really reveal new information about the deaths of Christopher Wallace and Tupac Shakur, but it lays out how perverse the politicization of law enforcement has rea......more
