According to The Smoking Gun, a con artist in Federal prison named James Sabatino created the documents that were the basis for the Times' March 17 report, which suggested that the 1994 shooting of Tupac was planned and perpetrated by Diddy and his associates. The supposed FBI reports and lawsuits Sabatino says he filed were apparently created in the Allenwood federal penitentiary in White Deer, Penn., and can't be found in the bureau's database."The bottom line is that the documents we relied on should not have been used," LA Times Editor, Russ Stanton, said in a story posted Wednesday night on the newspaper's Web site. "We apologize both to our readers and to those referenced in the documents ... and in the story." Pulitzer-prize winning reporter Chuck Philips, who wrote the story, and his supervisor, Deputy Managing Editor Marc Duvoisin, also apologized.

Curses...plans to bring Puffy down has been spoiled again. I would have succeeded if it wasn't for those medling people.
Sincerely
James Sabatino
well somebody shot pac up.....just dont know if it was puffs puffy ass mouth that had it done....
I read the 1995 Vibe where pac talked about puffy and big just stairing at him as he bled....
hmmmm.....puff prolly had biggy killed!!
Fuck Chuck Phillips and Bill O'Reilly!
I cant front that James was creative with them papers. His ass should write hood novels instead of trying to flame shit up with fake stuff.
One of the other writers on Highbrid Nation did a story on Pac and the craziness surrounding that shooting and I wondered what other were saying about this. It seems to me that this is something the news media refuses to let go. Everyone wants to be the one who solves the crime. In reality what are the chances of us solving a 15 year old crime? And in the end does it matter? That shooting did not lead to Pac's death. He recovered from that shooting. So what's the fuss about?
damn shame
oh please pac said himself that he suspected biggie and puff and you can't chage that.
So is this suppose to change something? Is Puffy all of a sudden vindicated? Please. It doesn't change Pac's account of what happened, false documents or not they were there that night & they know what happened. Period.
@mike belgrove: no disrespect but im just curious if you were shot yet you survived & the mf's that set you up are still running around out in the public & everybody involved know what happened, is it okay to just say fuck it cuz its been 15 years?
I STILL THINK PUFF N JIMMY DID IT

PEE THA NEW GHETTO KNOCK
"GRIMEY"
puffy threatened to sue for slander or some shyt, they didnt mean it when they apoligized....
it's all bs...everybody knows diddy was involved...i wonder how many cocks he had to suck to get that apology....hmmm
Haha LA Times are stupid. Should never have published the article in the first place with no propa evidence. If i was Diddy i would sue there lying little asses.....
I love you Tupac, and one day, you gone lead us to the right one(s). Don't worry about that, we gotchu.
While I think about you and love you, I'm smoking one (or two) for you, my nigga. You know you was good to me, and I was good to you. All those hours in the studio, the bedroom, blunted out and throwing down. You are forever my nigga, my nigga. Straight from my pounding heart. In a minute, I'll do a tribute to you on my blog.
Love you, Tupac Amaru Lesane Parish Shakur! I miss you. More than that, my garden is empty; I need more of your seed...
Talk to me, baby, I'm listening...
anon 3:39-sit your crazy ass down!
you are cuckoo for cocoa puffs
Cuckoo - OMG
- fuck that Piss shitty diddy did it god damn it and all you homo bitch ass thug homo's should get your weight up and peel dude's wig back. Fuck it if you will become a marthyr or whatever they call it, fuck that.
Man up bitch ass homos. Fucking pissing me off and the memory of a true trooper - TUPAC (the don) Shakur.
This chubby f*cker might of made up his own version to be relevant but somewhere, oh, somewhere at the bottom of this Puffy is involved that will not change. And above you were right in his own words i remember reading Tupacs version of what happened at the studio that day and when he got to the part about reaching up stairs still alive after being shot 5 times and them dudes looking at him like oh sh*t you still alive and no one would help him. Well no apology in the world can change that. F*ck Em. One day they will answer to the one who knows and sees all. Forget his money he is not an over rated POS. How much money has this dude paid to make people forget the sh*t he has done to them since Tupac? i am sure he knows exactly what happened to Big and I am sure that person is still breathing so how live can he really be?
3:39 uh .. Hi Kidada / Jada.
This is 3:39 - What's up, Yazmar? You still hiding behind someone else's picture?
You go, girl.
I still loves me some Tupac. You can't take that away from me.
HAY 3:39 lol Still hiding? LMAO your crazy ass is delusional...do you see rhymeswitsnitch having her pic up...na u don't....matter of fact 2pac says fuck you
lmao
We hear you 3:39 no one wants to take anything away from you but we would like to see you get help. You do realize Tupac can't lead you to the "right ones" because he is DEAD.
Quit smoking that OOOOWWWEEE!
@Yazzy and 9:38 - What's up with it, y'all?
That OOOOOWWWWEEE is a mofo, 'ya hear me? I'm beginning to think it's worse than that 'caine y'all are smoking.
I still loves me some TALPS!
One day, we gone get them niggas for fucking with our boy. Trust. Believe. Yazzy, I'm coming to your blog in a minute; aint been in a while, homegirl...
He's guilty but once again he rides. Was there an apology to Henchmen?
The kind of bread the Puffy has now, he could pay people to find out who killed Big. He bread is long enough to make damn near anyone talk or definitely point the finger @ the guilty party. Over 10 years and no one has talked even in the grimest spots about who killed Biggie? I find that hard to believe.
ANON 9:38--Thankyou he/she definitely on sumthin--over there talking like Pac still alive...
ANON 11:06 Whats up with you? cuz Im good...aint been over here in a while so I figured I would join in, in some commentary...thank you for coming by my site....appreciate that!!
@Yazzy and 9:38 - Y'all aint no true 'Pac lovers, 'cause true believers KNOW that dead or alive, 'Pac is still with us.
An anointed prophet, when he passes away, leaves behind instruction to his followers on what to do, what/who to believe, etc.
Y'all aint no Tupac disciples because y'all believe, in the literal sense, that he is gone. He's not. Pay attention. His name is being whispered off the tongues of his disciples and his flock.
Get somewhere, okay?
yazmar, don't you believe 'tupac is alive? you must not listen to the mesages in his songs.
word.
anon 11:28--No I don't love Pac, biggie was my dude although I've listened to alot of Pac's songs and appreciate most if not all of them...but you can miss me with all that cult-Jim Jones talk about disciples and crap....wowsers ya'll are something else
ANON 11:52--I've listened to alot of pacs and songs and was intuitive to his messages and belief...however I believe he is dead! when I see the interviews where Afeni,his mom is crying and hurt over her son's death it's saddening...so I highly doubt Ms. Afeni Shakur would play those devilish games about her son's passing!!!!
The L.A. Times story is true. Diddy is a dangerous thug who has sold his soul. Poor Mr. Phillips probably had little choice but to recant. I don't believe for a second that some random white guy already incarcerated (perfect scapegoat) made it up. If he did, why does his account match that given by those who were there???
11:28 You belong on that spacecraft Tom Cruise and all them waiting on to return.
Hell no I aint no Tupac DISCIPLE. Did you say Disciple? That is a big word for a nut job.
The guy was talented and on another level but the truth is he has passed on he is no longer with us and may he rest in peace.
As for Puff I read that he didnt want people in his crew talking to the police about what they saw the night Big got killed I could see if that was the case and he was gonna have it taken care of himself but all these years later - Nothing. He is a bonifed POS and only loyal to himself.
And for those of you in OZ singing and puffing with Pac shout outs to Elvis as we know he is there with ya'll
why must we choose whether or not we're on pac or biggie's side? the east coast-west coast beef faded along with those kicks pac is wearin'.
You see, this is just one salvo in a sting of salvo's pointing at P Shitty. Shyne is on his way down, Sabatino gunning for his ass, Suge getting his power back (his own Making the Band). Give it a year or so, God don't like ugly and P Shitty is a wrap - Faker than a $2 dollar bill - POS.
Tupac is hiding with Osama Bin Laden. They're using a Sony Camera too.Yea. Fairies exist too.
You know what gangsters do? After they do all of their murder and mayhem and extortion, they try and go and become legit businessmen. i.e Jimmy Rosemond and Pdiddy. They have death on their hands!!
