Witness gets combative in Tupac murder trial - 'I don't want to send him to prison'

James McDonald, a member of Tupac Shakur's entourage, became combative during his testimony in the rapper's murder trial on Tuesday. McDonald, a former Blood gang member and enforcer at Suge Knight's Death Row Records, was threatened with contempt of court if he did not testify. He denied being able to identify Shakur's killer, stating he didn't want to send the defendant to prison.

The trial, 30 years after Shakur's death, aims to resolve one of America's most high-profile unresolved murders. Prosecutors allege former Compton Crips leader Duane "Keffe D" Davis orchestrated Shakur's death after his nephew was involved in a fight with Shakur hours earlier. McDonald, who wasn't present at the shooting, testified that the shooting was part of a gang war, with Davis and his nephew being the main subjects.

McDonald expressed his reluctance to participate in the trial, saying, "What you are going through brother is what you going through. I don't want to be a part of it."
