Ultimately all charges against Shakur were dropped, whilst Mark Whitwell was charged for alleged shooting at Pac’s car. There wasn’t an actual shooting aimed against the car, but the detectives seem to have made an error of judgment because of the act of violence, which saw the front window broken. Whitwell was also prosecuted for giving false information away. These charges were also dropped by the jury soon afterward, and Mark simply resigned from his job as a policeman half a year later. The moral victory definitely belonged to Shakur. 

Strangely enough, that wasn’t the end of the tale. The Whitwell’s decided to turn their wants to the civil court, suing the Tupac Estate for a staggering 2 million dollars. The lawsuit was actually filled by Scott Whitwell, whilst Mark’s complaints were fulfilled outside of court. The decision was for a default judgment against the Tupac Estate in 1998 – two years after Shakur was murdered. One way or another, however, the fallen rapper was once again trying to help the black community through selfless actions, and for that, his name will forever remain iconic for his followers and fans. 

Atlanta Courthouse

December 1, 1993 A mere few hours later Pac was arrested in the hotel. He was charged with two counts of aggravated assault and was released in the morning on a $55,059 bond until the hearing on December 1st, to determine if the case will be sent to a grand jury. The two officers were released two days later from Grady Hospital. One was wounded in the abdomen, the other was in the buttocks.

During the first trial a month later the Whitwell brothers admitted to carrying stolen guns with themselves, whilst the discovery was made that both men were drunk during the struggle with Tupac. Worst of all, however, the Whitwell’s were found guilty of lying about whether Shakur was the aggressor or not. The jury discovered that Shakur was merely trying to protect the motorcyclist, who was being assaulted by the two armed men and only pulled out a gun once the Whitwell’s had done the same and started the aggressive confrontation through his own actions.
