This topic was brought to my attention and I feel I should speak on it.
First off, in essense, Tupac was sentenced for "touching her ass", and was given the maximum sentence possible.
Tupac gave a great speech in the court room talking about how there was no justice in the court. Shock G said the tension in the court room was so thick you could cut it with a knife, and it's obvious the judge was angry with him.
Nobody argued the fact that Tupac was sleeping during the time of the assault, and Pac admitted he was guilty of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and said he wished he could have done something about it.
Secondly, the woman who accused him of rape, was a groupy who sucked Pac off on the dance floor of a club prior to the alleged assault.
Thirdly, and most interestingly, the woman was reportedly a friend of Black Mafia members. The reason Pac got shot in '94 was because he said something about a Black Mafia member in an interview. The people he was hanging around at that time were King Tut and Jacques Agnant, both Black Mafia members who reportedly funded Bad Boy. That's why on Against All Odds Pac says "Puffy getting robbed like a bitch, to hide that fact he did some shit he shouldn't have did so we ride for that."
So the alleged rape happened with the Black Mafia Members and a women they knew, in conjunction with the shooting which took place in a studio where Bad Boy was recording, with all the bad boy members present up stairs.
If that doesn't sound like a double setup, then I don't know what does.
The Black Mafia members had seperate trials, although it was the same crime. That just isn't supposed to happen, and even Tupac's lawyer said there was something wrong with that. Which is why Tupac says "witness as I take ya back, unleash this rap, a tale about a snitch named hatian jack (jacques agnant), new he was working for the feds, same crime different trials nigga picture what he said ..."
Lastly, Frank Alexander said Tupac had sex with on average five women a day, he didn't have to rape anybody, and while there are certain people who get off on rape (mostly those who get off on power/have issues with women etc.) Pac does not fit the profile.
This post is a great example of how people take what they read from a bias mainstream media source at face value and conform their opinions based on mis-information. The fact that CNN or MTV says something, does not make it true.
