@JIMENOPLIX: It was a gang-related shooting in August of 1993. Snoop was arrested as an accessory; it was his bodyguard that actually shot the man, and Snoop was booked because he was apparently driving the car from which the gun was fired. Snoop did indeed claim self-defense, as he said the deceased had been stalking him with probable malicious intent. He even has a song called “Murder Was the Case” on his first album, which was about him being arrested and charged. Johnny Cochran defended both him and his bodyguard in court, and they were both acquitted in 1996.
He’s been getting criticized a lot recently for several things, yet he’s still invited to events, and all of this stuff happened years ago? How is he still relevant and about when he’s seemingly not as much well-liked anymore?
The main question is: in this case, will he or will he not use the “Chewbacca Defense”?

@JIMENOPOLIX: Iirc, Snoop killed someone in self-defense, but I’d have to read more about that…
@Red Rain: X2 for the same thoughts LOL
Wait… Snoop Dogg KILLED someone???

Oh yeah, I forgot about Snoop Dogg’s Murder Trial, though it didn’t get as much attention as OJ Simpson’s trial.
I can’t think about Johnny Cochran without thinking about the Book of Mormon’s “Spooky Mormon Hell Dream” number.
“I got O.J. freed!”
Well, Snoop Dogg would definitely remain in infamy in recent decades. If you know you know.
