Will Smith nervous about daughter dating
LOS ANGELES, June 1 (UPI) -- The family of slain rapper Notorious B.I.G. denied misleading a federal judge and accused Los Angeles of making a "desperate" bid to derail their civil suit.
Papers filed by attorneys for the family of the rapper, born Christopher Wallace, said the city "gave a really incomplete view of what happened" in the latest courtroom drama stemming from the star's unsolved 1997 slaying, The Los Angeles Times reported Thursday.
The papers filed Tuesday accused the city of staging a "desperate attempt to prevent additional discovery" about alleged police misconduct in the rapper's death.
Judge Florence-Marie Cooper last week angrily accused the plaintiffs of lying for saying they had not seen a key piece of evidence that led her to declare a mistrial in the family's 2002 wrongful death suit.
Los Angeles attorneys said they had proof the family had access to the information and asked the judge to stop the discovery process at the time.
"I would hope the judge looks at (the filing) and realizes we did nothing whatsoever to misrepresent anything," Wallace family attorney Perry R. Sanders Jr. told the Times.
