Biggie Smalls Wrongful Death Lawsuit Dismissed

Biggie SmallsThe long and ongoing wrongful death lawsuit has been dismissed against the City of Los Angeles.  A lawyer for the Biggie estate, Bradley C. Gage claims the dismissal of this case can prompt arrests in the ’97 shooting of Biggie Smalls.  The case was dismissed on April 5th, 2010 after the Biggie’s estate and the city said the case can be opened at a later date.  The wrongful death lawsuit included allegations that the LAPD had something to do with the murder of Mr Smalls.  Biggie, who’s birth name was Christopher Wallace, was 24 when he died and at the pinnacle of his career when he was gunned down in March 1997 after returning from a party.  The lawsuit first filed in 2002, was declared a mistrial in 2005 after the city was found to withhold evidence of LAPD documents.  Family members say that this case isn’t about money it’s about finding out the truth behind his murder.  I don’t know but it seems like if it was someone else the killer would’ve been tracked down, found, arrested and tried already.  Like KRS 1 said, if you wanna get away with murder, kill a rapper.
