CROSS-EXAMINATION Dorsey confirms he is not a detective He became involved in the case in 2012 after learning about Greg Kading’s Murder Rap book Dorsey says his documentary research combined his own work with Kading explaining the investigation he had conducted Defense walks through books and other sources Dorsey did and did not review Dorsey says Kading gave him more than 2,700 digitized reports, over 100 hours of audio, photographs and other case material Dorsey did not interview LVMPD detectives while making Murder Rap He did not begin contacting Metro about Davis’s public statements until after Death Row Chronicles aired Dorsey says he eventually exchanged numerous emails with Detective Mogg as new Davis interviews appeared online Dorsey secretly made his own audio recording while listening remotely to the 2017 Davis interviews Davis did not know Dorsey was listening and texting additional questions to producer Mario Diaz Dorsey did not turn his recording over to BET or LVMPD and says he never used it for another project At different points Dorsey told defense counsel: “Don’t shake your head.” “Can you please stop badgering me, man?” Judge Kierny later instructed both sides to stop the commentary and stick to questions and answers. GREG KADING Defense challenged Dorsey’s reliance on files supplied by Greg Kading Kading worked the Biggie Smalls task force rather than the original LVMPD Tupac investigation The parties argued outside the jury’s presence about how far defense could go into Kading’s credibility and conduct Judge Kierny allowed defense to explore the completeness of the case file Dorsey relied upon and how Dorsey obtained it, while limiting unsupported character attacks on Kading VERIFICATION Defense questioned whether Dorsey independently verified details in Davis’s later accounts, including: Foxy Brown being in Las Vegas Davis renting rooms at Caesars Palace Davis’s claimed $3,000 Versace suit His alleged seating at the Tyson fight Photos in Compton Street Legend Orlando Anderson’s clothing The “Liquor Barn” stop People allegedly traveling in the group Whether a .40-caliber gun was recovered Whether searches produced evidence placing Davis in Las Vegas Asked whether he personally possessed physical evidence connecting Davis to Tupac’s murder, Dorsey said he did not. REDIRECT State returned to Dorsey’s research concerning the alleged Liquor Barn Dorsey discussed Lee’s Liquor / Liquor Barn naming and a liquor store in the area Davis described State returned to Foxy Brown / Inga Marchand and whether investigators had attempted to interview her State asked about Davis discussing his 2008 proffer in Compton Street Legend Dorsey said many details from Davis’s account could be compared against material in the case files State specifically asked whether, as far as Dorsey knew, the first use of “Sea Breeze” / Sebring to identify the women’s car in the 2008 proffer came from Davis Dorsey answered yes RECROSS Defense asked whether Dorsey had ever interviewed Suge Knight Dorsey: No No jury questions were submitted for Dorsey.
