While some people sat in the courtroom for only one day to punch their ticket of pop culture curiosities, Tupac Shakur’s stepbrother Mopreme Shakur and sister Sekyiwa “Set” Shakur showed up every day, surrounded by family, friends and a representative of the Clark County District Attorney’s office, who carefully weaved them through a back door of the courtroom away from reporters at each break.
The family sat grim-faced and rarely physically reacted to the extensive testimony about gang violence and Tupac Shakur’s doomed trip to Las Vegas. But by the end of the first day, Set Shakur acknowledged the strain.
“It was just a whole lot,” she told CNN. “A lot of information to take in.”
During a 2017 recording between Duane Davis and documentary producers that was aired in court, he was asked whether he wanted to apologize to Shakur’s family.
Set Shakur gave an intense, narrowed glare toward Davis as the recording played in court. A minute later, she pulled a tissue from a box placed in front of her and dabbed her eyes, taking several deep breaths before she briefly left the courtroom.
