THE SEXUAL ASSAULT TRIAL OF RAP STAR TUPAC SHAKUR IS WINDING DOWN. AFTER ALMOST 3-WEEKS OF TESTIMONY, LAWYERS PRESENTED SUMMATIONS MONDAY AT MANHATTAN SUPREME COURT. SHAKUR ALONG WITH HIS MANAGER ARE CHARGED WITH SODOMIZING AND SEXUALLY ABUSING A YOUNG WOMAN AT HIS MIDTOWN HOTEL ROOM LAST NOVEMBER. SHAKUR'S LAWYER SAYS IT WAS CONSENSUAL SEX.

EXT NIGHT Tracking shot of police officers approaching a cordoned off area of the sidewalk outside the strip club, Runway 69 located in Forest Hills, New York. The police are gathered together discussing the Tupac Shakur shooting because this is the Tupac Shakur shooting site. Halfway through the clip, the camera zooms out so that it can capture more people and police officers standing outside and more of the scene of the crime. Tupac Shakur was a rapper also known as "2Pac" and "Makaveli." On this particular day in November, Tupac was shot 5 times and robbed right after he walked into a recording studio.

Music clip - '21 Seconds' by the So Solid Crew RAPPER SLAYINGS CONTINUE Gun violence has returned to the forefront of the rapping community today with the shocking murder of Jam Master Jay, part of the pioneering rap trio Run DMC, who was shot and killed yesterday. (WED30) The 37-year-old rapper, whose real name was Jason Mizell, was shot in the head at a recording studio in the New York City borough of Queens. Run DMC is widely credited with helping bring hip-hop into music's mainstream, including the group's smash collaboration with Aerosmith on the 1980's tune 'Walk This Way'. The trio released a greatest-hits album earlier this year. In 2001, the rappers produced 'Crown Royal', breaking an eight-year silence. Mizell is the latest of hip-hop's top stars to die in violence, after Tupac Shakur, who was gunned down in September 1996 in a hail of bullets outside the Soul Train Music Awards in Las Vegas, and The Notorious BIG (Christoper Wallace), who was shot and killed in Los Angeles six months later in a feud between East and West Coast rappers. Both murders drew huge media attention, but neither crime has been solved. Both were leading exponents of Gangsta rap which identified with the violent gang culture of America's inner cities. It has a massive following in the United States, representing over 20 percent of all music sold, and has become an important influence on popular culture. Other artists involved in gangland style shootings include gangster rapper Snoop Doggy Dog, who was arrested for a drive-by shooting incident in 1993, which caused the murder of Phillip Woldermarian. According to charges, Snoop's bodyguard shot the victim while Snoop drove the car. Snoop claimed the shooting was self-defense, alleging that Woldermarian was stalking Snoop. He was finally cleared of all charged in 1996 after much controversy surrounding his violent lyrics and the arrest. Meanwhile, the penchant violence extends right up to the boardroom. Suge Knight, the controversial boss of Beath Row Records, applied his considerable acumen and turned it and its leading stars - Dr. Dre, Snoop Doggy Dogg and Tupac Shakur - into a corporate dynasty that sold more than 18 million albums, with a revenue of $325 million plus in four years. According to his rap sheet, however, Knight certainly has all the qualities of a mobster. In 1990, he allegedly held rapper Vanilla Ice over the balcony of the Ballage Inn Hotel in Beverly Hills, eventually persuading him to sign away 25 per cent of his royalties. It is said that he would drag out-of-favour employees into a storeroom at the company's offices on Wilshire Boulevard and beat them to a bloody mess. Knight also led a gun war against his New York equivalent, Sean 'Puffy' Combs, that is thought to have contributed to the murders of America's biggest-selling rappers - Tupac Shakur in 1995, and Christopher 'Notorious BIG' Wallace in 1996. And it is not just the US where gun culture and music have been linked. Asher D from UK garage crew So Solid was sentenced to eighteen months behind bars in March of this year, for carrying a loaded firearm, and Radio One DJ Tim Westwood survived being shot at in his car in 1999, proving that the problem is spreading beyond the States and remains a serious issue globally for rap and hip hop artists within the music industry.

If you go to the ghetto that is what goes on. You can't talk about being in the ghetto and describe Beverlly Hills, it just doesn't work that way.

That's why I can't see whay they say how can they be bitter towards Death Row because their kids are Death Row kids, they had those babies because of Death Row, they have got those women because of Death Row and those women weren't coming out saying I want to be with you because you are a nice looking guy so let's have a baby.

The only problem I have had on Death Row is a lot of people don't finish high school, a lot don't know how to read or write. If they read something they can't comprehend what they have read. Even though they have got a great deal they don't understand that they have a great deal." 18. B-Roll on Tupac Video shoot - Death Row EPK 19.

When you turn around and speak of Hip Hop you can't leave my name out of it. If you speak about who owns the ownership of the masters, I will probably be the only one going like this." 21. Tupac Video - 'California Love' SUGE KNIGHT BACK IN THE HOOD He's the most fearsome and feared man in rap and he's back on the streets looking to to settle some old scores. Indeed, Dr Dre and Snoopy Doggy Dogg - former proteges of Knight - are reported to have upped the security around themselves, fearing retaliation from their mentor. Marion 'Suge' Knight, head of Death Row Records, is finally out of jail, and APTN talked to the baddest man in gangsta rap, and found that he still harboured a few grudges. Former prisoner No. K43480 is ready, he says, to 'get back to business'. That ex-con is Marion 'Suge' Knight Jr, CEO of Death Row Records, and the ringleader behind one of America's largest black exports, gangsta rap. Knight, 37, is six foot three inches tall, weighs more than 300 pounds and is as intelligent as he he is intimidating. Gangsta rap has sold massively in the United States, representing over 20 percent of all music sold in the US, and has been an important influence on popular culture. And of all its personalities, Knight remains the most beguiling: a violent hoodlum who took an embryonic label, applied his considerable acumen and turned it and its leading stars - Dr. Dre, Snoop Doggy Dogg and Tupac Shakur - into a corporate dynasty that sold more than 18 million albums, with a revenue of $325 million plus in four years. According to his rap sheet, however, Knight certainly has all the qualities of a mobster. In 1990, he allegedly held rapper Vanilla Ice over the balcony of the Ballage Inn Hotel in Beverly Hills, eventually persuading him to sign away 25 per cent of his royalties from seven songs on his debut album, II The Extreme. It is said that he would drag out-of-favour employees into a storeroom at the company's offices on Wilshire Boulevard and beat them to a bloody mess. Knight also led a gun war against his New York equivalent, Sean 'Puffy' Combs, that is thought to have contributed to the murders of America's biggest-selling rappers - Tupac Shakur in 1995, and Christopher 'Notorious BIG' Wallace in 1996. Knight has been connected to the death of both. He was sitting beside his close friend and gifted rapper, Shakur, when he was killed by hail of bullets in then neon glow of the Las Vegas strip. Knight's most recent sentence was for carrying a gun on the fateful evening. Like the Shakur case, the subsequent slaying of Biggie Smalls remains unsolved by the cops. But a recent scandal to rock the LAPD, involving over 40 African-American officers operating as a secret, has implicated a rogue cop currently doing time. The corruption inquiry has looked into cases of police officers on Death Row's payroll at the time. Knight's life was forged at the hard end of the American Black experience. Knight Sr, a truck driver eager to escape the evil blood lust of the South's lynch mobs, moved his family from Mississippi to California in the early Sixties. Not long afterwards, on 19 April 1964, Marion Hugh Knight Jr was born in a downtown Los Angeles hospital. In the sunshine state, Knight Sr took work as a janitor at the University of California, while his wife, Maxine, found work at the assembly line in a local electronics firm. In 1969, having cobbled together enough savings, the Knights paid for a modest, two-bedroom home in Compton - an area synonymous with the city's Bloods and Crips gangs. But that didn't stop Knight from honing his entrepreneurial skills - a unique blend of intelligence and violence - from an early age. Already over 6ft tall by his teens, Knight would catch a bus to the moneyed and manicured Hollywood hills, where he extorted money from terrified rich white kids. 70Seventies, Compton had become a by-word for inner city violence. Death and destruction was all around the young Knight, but luck or fate meant he never got 'capped' or joined the body count. But he was also a gifted sportsmen and a local hero, playing football for the LA Rams. This gave him a 'free pass' with the local hoods and connections to large sums of ill-gotten cash. By the late 80s and early 90s, Los Angeles was enjoying a black music boom that would eventually stifle New York, its main cultural rival. In 1988, LA hip-hop group Niggaz With Attitude's debut album, Straight Outta Compton, sold in excess of 500,000 copies in six weeks - it's new sound kick-started a self-sufficient industry for disenfranchised African-Americans. The new black sound, as culturally important as Motown's 'Sound of Young Black America' 30 years before it, was dubbed G-Funk - a relaxed, Californian pop motif that gathered together the city's gang culture, car clubs, 70s funk music alongside the popular language of the day. And in a curious twist of irony, its musical director was a black middle-class kid who had probably never held a gun in his life - Dr. Dre. After NWA split in 1991, Dre (Andre Young), introduced to Knight by a mutual friend, signed to Knight's fledgling Death Row Records label. It was a partnership that would end New York's decade-long domination of the rap market - and take the popular 'diss record', where rappers attack each other on vinyl, to its obvious conclusion - an all-out gang war. As label boss of a black empire, and unlike the disciplined but businesslike Berry Gordy at Motown before him, Knight's reputation for violence was enhanced by the band of gang bangers he grouped around Death Row, and rumours that he even had corrupt black cops on the pay role. He quickly established a ruthless reputation for himself: one writer from the New Yorker magazine, on asking the wrong question, was beaten up. Knight and his henchmen, dressed in the red insignia of the Bloods, later tried to bundle the writer into a fish tank filled with piranha. His understudies at the label were equally wayward: Snoop Doggy Dogg, a shy teenager from LA's Long Beach, was charged with the first-degree murder of gang member Philip Woldemariam and the subsequent trial lasted nearly 18 months. The rapper was eventually found not guilty. In 1995 Knight's most prolific artist, the trouble prone Tupac Shakur, was sentenced to four years for statutory rape - he'd been shot five times a year earlier. The label's reputation, and the fear it inspired, allowed Knight to find a target for his excess rage - the middle-class label executive Puff Daddy. He went about aggravating the West Coast-East Coast enmity to such a degree that it became impossible for rap groups to tour the country without facing multiple death threats. The end, inevitably bloody, could easily have been rapped by one his musical prot?g?s. Tupac Shakur was killed in in 1995 as he left the Tyson-Seldon fight. And in the repercussions that followed, Knight's musical maestro, Dr. Dre, resigned from Death Row Records to form his own record label. What kind of financial negotiations took place? Rumour has it Knight and his associates arrived, carrying baseball bats, at Dre's Beverly Hills mansion and Dr Dre left the company with nothing. Snoop Doggy Dogg similarly abandoned Knight to join a rival imprint called No Limit. His defection remains a particular source of irritation to Knight who paid more than $2.5m in legal fees to defend him against a murder charge. Meanwhile, as Knight sets about rebuilding his shattered empire, Death Row being renamed Tha' Row, law enforcement agencies and avowed underworld foes are keeping a close eye on him.

A: (unknown) of peace isn't that wonderful to see peace and democracy - how many people can do more than that in this world. " 14. Marcos Ibazeta, the judge STORYLINE: Lori Berenson, the American charged with collaborating with leftist guerrillas in Peru, was quizzed on Tuesday by the presiding judge about her political activism in El Salvador. Magistrate Marcos Ibazeta asked the former Massachusetts Institute of Technology student about her decision to drop out of school in the 1980s to devote herself to a U-S movement that supported leftist rebels during El Salvador's civil war. "I believed that the Salvadoran people's right to express themselves in their own organizations or in the guerrillas was legitimate in that there was no other way to change what for them was unjust," Berenson said. A secret military court convicted Berenson, a New York native, of treason in 1996 and sentenced her to life in prison for helping Peru's Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement plan a thwarted takeover of Congress. After years of pressure from the United States, Peru's highest military court overturned Berenson's conviction in August, leading to the civilian trial that began last week on the lesser charges of "terrorist collaboration." Berenson, now 31, said she lived in Nicaragua and then El Salvador before coming to Peru in November 1994. In El Salvador, she served as private secretary to that country's top rebel leader during peace negotiations with the government in 1992. Prosecutors allege she rented a house in 1995 as a hide-out for the Tupac Amaru rebels and collected information with the wife of the group's top commander for a planned attack on Congress. Berenson denies the charges.

Cutaway Mrs. Berenson's hands holding wire copy 7. SOUNDBITE (English) Rhoda Berenson, Mother of Lori Berenson: "Lori really was a victim of the previous President, President Fujimori, who has now run in disgrace to Japan. His whole administration was a scandal. He used Lori as a pawn for many years. I think that's a basis... I think if anyone looks at the case, would realise that Lori is innocent, that she has suffered certainly far, far too much for anything that anyone even accused her of doing, and we hope that President Toledo will see a humanitarian way of dealing with this." 8. Mid shot Mrs. Berenson leaves STORYLINE: Peru's Supreme Court has upheld a 20-year prison sentence against American Lori Berenson for collaborating with rebels to seize Congress. Presiding justice Guillermo Cabala said four of the five judges on the panel that oversees criminal appeals voted to confirm the 20-year sentence, while one judge voted to reduce the sentence to 15 years. The panel was Berenson's last option for an appeal in the Peruvian justice system. The judges voted last week, but the decision was only announced on Monday. Speaking in New York City, Lori's mother, Rhoda Berenson, said she wasn't surprised by the Supreme Court's decision. Mrs Berenson spoke to her daughter last week and said Lori began a hunger strike on Monday. Berenson, 32, was convicted in June of terrorist collaboration in a failed bid by the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement, also known as the Shining Path, to take over Peru's Congress in 1995. She was acquitted of being a member of the rebel group. The New York native was sentenced to 20 years in prison but is due to be released in 2015 because she had already served five years under an earlier terrorist conviction by a secret military tribunal. In 1996, a military court of hooded judges sentenced Berenson to life in prison without parole on charges she was a rebel leader. After years of pressure from the U-S, a higher military tribunal overturned the ruling in August 2000 and sent her case to a civilian anti-terrorism court. That court ruled that Berenson aided the Tupac Amaru rebels by renting a house that served as their hide-out and posing as a journalist to enter Congress to gather intelligence with a top rebel commander's wife. Berenson says she didn't know her house mates were rebels and hired the commander's wife as a photographer to help with articles she was writing for magazines in the United States. Berenson considers herself a political prisoner and says authorities unfairly portrayed her concern for social justice as a terrorist agenda.

Halfway through the clip, the camera zooms out so that it can capture more people and police officers standing outside and more of the scene of the crime.

It's been more than a year since Tupac Shakur was gunned down and 8 months since notorious B-I-G was shot to death. The following months have been filled with accusations, finger pointing and rumors. Tonight, Laverne Atkinson tries to separate fact from fiction.

Wide shot of press conference CANAL 4 Lima - File - 20 June, 2001 6. Lori Berenson hearing verdict sentencing her to 20 years in a state prison. STORYLINE: The Peruvian government will resist moves by Latin America's top human rights court to reopen the case of Lori Berenson, a New Yorker serving 20 years for aiding Peruvian leftist rebels. Peru's justice ministry is set to file a suit against the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights before an international court. Fernando Olivera announced in Washington that the commission, part of the Organization of American States, held a "favourable position" toward Berenson, who was convicted last year of collaborating with leftist rebels. Berenson's family had filed a complaint with the Washington-based commission, alleging that her trial violated due process. The commission recommended the Peruvian government give the New York native an "integral reparation," Olivera said, without specifying what that included. Olivera has been in Washington meeting with commission officials. The Costa Rica-based Inter-American Court of Human Rights, a legal arm of the OAS, could order Berenson freed or retried in Peru. A commission official had said Monday that the panel was considering whether to pass Berenson's case to the court. Peru's suit against the commission would apparently preempt that decision. Berenson, 32, has been serving out a 20-year sentence after a civilian court convicted her in June 2001 of aiding the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement in a failed bid to seize Peru's Congress. A secret military court originally sentenced Berenson in 1996 to life in prison for being a Tupac Amaru leader and plotting the thwarted attack, but that sentence was overturned in 2000. In February, the Supreme Court upheld the civilian court's decision, leaving a presidential pardon or a ruling by the inter-American system as Berenson's only options for getting released from prison. A pardon would be unpopular in Peru, where many consider Berenson a foreign terrorist. Berenson's supporters have insisted that her civilian retrial was unfair, contending that she was convicted for her leftist ideas and not on hard evidence. Mark Berenson, her father, called Peru's decision to go to the inter-American court "mean-spirited and frivolous" since the court has already ruled that Peru's anti-terrorism laws do not meet international standards of fairness and due process.

Berenson being paraded infront of the press STORYLINE: Peru's Supreme Court has upheld a 20-year prison sentence against American Lori Berenson for collaborating with leftist rebels in a thwarted plot to seize Congress. The panel was Berenson's last option for an appeal in the Peruvian justice system. Berenson, 32, was convicted in June 2001 of terrorist collaboration in a failed bid by the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement, also known as the Shining Path, to take over Peru's Congress in 1995, but was acquitted of being a member of the rebel group. It was the New York native's second terrorism conviction. She was first convicted in 1996 by a military tribunal and served more than five years of a life term. But that sentence was overturned in August 2000 and a new trial ordered after years of pressure from the US. In the 1996 trial, the military court of hooded judges sentenced Berenson to life in prison without parole on charges she was a rebel leader. Her parents, Mark and Rhoda Berenson of New York, have begun a campaign to pressure Peruvian President Alejandro Toledo to grant her a pardon. US President, George W Bush, is due to visit Peru on March 23 to meet Toledo to discuss trade and the fight against drug trafficking and terrorism. Peruvian Foreign Minister Diego Garcia Sayan last week did not rule out that the two leaders could discuss Berenson's case. Bush urged Toledo during a meeting in Washington last June to consider humanitarian concerns in Berenson's case.
