$16.6-Million Award to Woman Voided
The estate of rapper Tupac Shakur does not have to pay $16.6 million to an Arkansas woman who was paralyzed after being shot at a concert, a judge has ruled.
In a decision made public Monday, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Arnold Gold ruled that Shakur’s estate does not have to pay Jacquelyn R. McNealey because lawyers for the estate were not allowed to present a defense.
McNealey, who was left a paraplegic after the 1993 shooting at a nightclub in Pine Bluff, Ark., was awarded the judgment by an Arkansas Circuit Court judge in 1997.
