Jimmy Henchman Lawyer Does Damage Control

Jimmy Henchman's lawyer speaks up about reports circulating the Internet that Henchman admitted to taking part in '94 Tupac shooting in New York City.


following the news initially reported by journalist Chuck Phillips , which said that henchmen had admitted to involvement in the 1994 shooting but henchmen's publicist denied henchmen had ever admitted such things

Henchman's attorney, Gerald Shargel spoke to MTV news to clear up the confusion surrounding the testimony. "The statement by the prosecutor that Jimmy Rosemond had confessed or admitted to being involved in the 1994 shooting of Tupac is totally false." He said "He categorically and emphatically denied that he had participation or role and that shooting and that was clear from the outset"

"anyone looking at the statements, or knows the statements would know that [Rosemond] didn't make that admission and more then didn't make the admission, he categorically, absolutely, emphatically without any qualification whatsoever denied being a part of that" Shargel said "we stand by it to this day"


(This sounds more like damage control. Never underestimate the power of deniability.)

"Jimmy Henchman" has loose lips

During a "Queen For A Day" proffer session last year Jimmy Rosemond confessed to his involvement in the 1994 shooting at Quad Studios.

Although there has been much chatter about James "Jimmy Henchman" Roasemond's involvement in the 1994 ambush at New York City’s Quad Studios that left rapper Tupac Shakur shot five times, up until now there has been no direct evidence linking him to the crime.

But an official transcript obtained by The Village Voice, Rosemond’s drug trial includes statements made by a U.S. prosecutor who refers to Rosemond admitting to his involvement in the 1994 shooting.

“Now, in particular, there are some statements where the defendant [Rosemond] spoke about acts of violence…Mr. Shargel made comments about the origin of the Chuck Phillips article, which has to do with the shooting of Tupac Shakur in 1994; in particular, the defendant has made admission that he was involved in this particular shooting,” said prosecutor Soumya Dayananda in a sidebar testimony according to official transcripts.

Rosemond admitted to his part in the shooting during a “Queen For A Day” proffer session with the government last year. Rosemond’s confession allegedly came shortly after Dexter Isaac came forward as the ringleader of the attack.

Rosemond’s drug trial which began last month stems from his involvement in a drug ring involving millions of dollar’s worth of cocaine.
