'I don't want to send you to prison', witness tells Tupac accused in combative testimony

James "Mob James" McDonald, a member of Tupac Shakur's entourage, gave reluctant and combative testimony during the murder trial of Duane "Keffe D" Davis, who is accused of orchestrating the rapper's 1996 killing. McDonald, threatened with contempt of court if he refused to testify, repeatedly expressed his unwillingness to provide information that could incriminate Davis, even directly telling the defendant he didn't want to send him to prison. The trial, occurring three decades after Shakur's drive-by shooting death in Las Vegas, reflects the persistent influence of street codes that discouraged cooperation with law enforcement during the gang-dominated hip-hop era of the 1990s.
