You brought us this verdict live tonight on philadelphia live when the news broke. Absolutely. And I have to tell you our audience came up in huge numbers. We're talking tens of thousands of people just on tiktok alone and we're on a number of different streaming platforms and I understand because we've had 30 years of not really having any real justice. I guess you could say in the murder of Tupac Shakur. So you know our audience on streaming, they went back and forth on whether or not you could determine whether K. P. D. Was the real shot caller or whether he was just the fall guy. And I brought in a legal expert who kind of had the same sentiment. A criminal defense attorney Dante mills wasn't so sure that the defense put together the strongest case. I want you guys to take a listen. Everybody is entitled to their own lawyer, but I think that's where you run up against issues where you don't have a lawyer who truly understands who you are, truly understands your circumstances and your surroundings. I don't, I still don't believe despite this jury verdict that Keith E. D. Was a shot calling right that he was the top guy. He never displayed anything that showed that that's who he was. He never lived that lifestyle of the top guy. There were a lot of inconsistencies in the stories he told um and he kind of rolled off into the sunset as someone who really didn't have that much of an impact around the people he were around and told stories to try and magnify himself and you know, boost his own credibility. I just don't think that a good enough job was done throughout this trial to show that. So you're going to see a lot of people and hear a lot of people listening to Tupac tonight. Also talking on social media about that same thing I just mentioned whether or not Keith E. D. Was actually a shot caller. Was he just the fall guy? That's going to be a big topic of discussion. I can tell you that october 13th is the day we're expecting to hear sentencing in this case. So still a couple of weeks to go. Yeah, the jury reaching a quick vote. Yeah, I was gonna say three hours and um for your legal expert to say the defense didn't do that. The jury disagrees. Yeah. I mean again like you guys said three hours. He says that in his case what he saw maybe that was enough time. He said really all they had to do was point and poke holes in their argument. Maybe they didn't do that. And the man suspected of actually pulling the trigger. Um he is now dead. So I know that's another question out there. What about the person who actually pulled the trigger? All right judea. Thank you so much. No problem. Thanks judea. You can watch her 7 to 10 on Fox local
