James "Jimmy Henchman" Rosemond Implicated Himself in 1994 Tupac Shakur Attack: Court Testimony

All that the Smoking Gun Argues is that the prosecutor who was representing James Rosemond was confused and denies being at the "Queen for a Day" proffer. So, first Mr. Shargel states he was there, then after Ms. Dayananda suggest they use Mr. Rosemond's statement, Mr. Shargel states it was a mistake, he was confused, he actually was not there, therefore, he is inelligable to state if Mr. Rosemond made such confessions. That was the "smoking gun." That his layer is unable make statement to criminalize his defendant. Chuck Phillips investigation and reports are hardly centered on the 302's either. They were merely added to give his article more substance and supposedly Mr. Rosemond's lawyer was given copies to contest the validity three weeks before the article was published.

The one thing all 2pac fans have in common is there ability to relate to whats real...Through us the real moves on. #TrueStory: The Mixtape Coming Soonhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pq02GA10ohQ

Jimmy, if i'll ever see you in Europe.

I will cut your balls off and force feed them to you, you punk ass motherfucker.

why did jimmy had to attack pac??? anyone.. i ve read many articles but noyhin clearly states the purpose!... so anyone??

Writing again a week later to remind you that this story has been discredited and you have not printed an update, let alone a retraction. http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/james-rosemond-tupac-shakur-shooting-978345 Either the article on the smoking gun is true or there is a cover-up. Are you hoping people don't find out? If you have any integrity you would do an update.

Thanks for another great article. It's good to know there's still someplace to look for investigative reporting not just news cut and paste.

Again, Chuck Philips makes a huge factual error in an article when it comes to Rosemond.  http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/james-rosemond-tupac-shakur-shooting-978345

So did puffy have any direct involvement in any of the shootings of Tupac?

i don't know why he waste the life of the best rapper of all time with the real drop of everyday tangs. i miss you PAC. Rest in peace while REVENGE will definitely take place after my confirmation!. Endorsed by loyal fan from Arizona..  ain't fuckin send your judgement.  TUPacalipse  always alert 24/7..

 If this is truly fact, i think another gun shots* will flow........ "In 1994, James Rosemond hired me to rob 2Pac at the Quad Studio. He gave me $2,500, plus all the jewelry I took, except for one ring, which he wanted for himself. It was the biggest of the two diamond rings that we took. He said he wanted to put the stone in a new setting for his girlfriend at the time, Cynthia Reed. I still have as proof the chain that we took that night in the robbery." 

I would like to know who were receiving these drugs shipped to properties owned by Universal Music Group. How come no employees or executives are being investigated for connection to the drug ring? We know Wachovia/Wells Fargo laundered billions in drug money and only got fined and no one went to jail. Could these music corporations that promote so much music that glamorizes violence, drugs and other vices be involved in drug dealing as well? 

 like Donald explained I am dazzled that any one can profit $4269 in four weeks on the internet. did you see this web link makecash16. çom

Add note:: Has any one ever compared album sales of those mentioned during the Pac-Era? And jimmie was a joke..a nobody before and after the quad shootings before pac died! Truestory$

Chuck Philips stands correct! And Pac was telling the truth the whole time. Period. Jimmie Henchman was an informant who when his time of pleasing the feds or hmm.. should i say the m.i.b was deceased, then he was shown the darkside of the darkside he joined forces with to kill Pac.. he always thought he was ahead of the game but he was their pawn.. and any1 defending him mustve been babies during the Pac Era.. They couldnt take the punishment Pac delivered lyrically and in record selling.. therefore jayz,henchman, Diddy etc.. tried to off Pac and failed..that time.

I find this still upsetting, so many lives changed because of it, Music changed. It really bothers me that now they acknowledge it. I was a teen at the time of this Pac was real he told it all in his Music he cried out for help and they pretended not to hear... R.M.K ,

You're talking about the wrong shooting there dickhead. This story is about Henchman admitting to shooting Tupac in '94, not about the fatal shooting in Las Vegas.

Just to be clear he was shot in 94 at a studio but this wasn't when he was killed he died in september 1996 he got shot in las vegas

Classifing cases sucks.

It's a shame that a reporter loses his job for reporting what happened. It's very touchy situation when a story as damaging as that one was and the evidence to back it up is hard to find. That is why its important to have all the ducks in a row. If not people are going to have the right to sue even if the underlying facts of the case prove to be true with no evidence its all allegations and innuendos.

Well, well.  Jimmy Henchman gets his due.But when does the L.A. Times go to the slammer for its crimes? They suppressed the truth tracked down by Chuck Philips about Tupac.  Fired Philips, then rewarded Henchman with a few hundred thousand dirty dollars.  All on the same day. Journalistic malpractice by the L.A. Times?  Guilty.Unfair employment practices?  Guilty.Contributing to the cover up of a murder?  Guilty.Betrayal of the principle of a free press--on which our democracy stands?  Guilty.The NYT stakes claim to "all the news that's fit to print."L.A Times, here's a slogan for you:  "UNFIT TO PRINT THE NEWS!"

Chuck Philips already explained what his motivation is.He interviewed Tupac in 1992 for Rolling Stone,and was promised an exclusive interview from Tupac's departure from jail..This seems to be his only connection to the Hip Hop Culture.I bet he'll get some "Great White Hope" book or movie deal,crusading for Hip Hop..Why doesn't he find the murderers of Biggie or Pac since he has so much love for this culture?Chuck Philips has an agenda

This is hype..This guy Chuck Philips is trying to get his career back.I read his long article in allhiphop..I find it interesting that he writes a full two paragraphs proving his "blackness",and love for black music,yet it's very clear he is another leech looking for a payday from Hip Hop Culture..The only History he knows,or music he seems to have knowledge of, is Tupac..Now,why would he devote his life to a story that

Where are the court transcripts you based this story on? Where is his admission? What part of the ambush did he admit to? This seems like shock story.
