The 16-member panel, including four alternates, heard nine days of testimony from 24 prosecution witnesses and three defense witnesses.
A gunman in a white Cadillac opened fire on a BMW carrying Shakur and Marion “Suge” Knight on Sept. 7, 1996, on the Las Vegas Strip.
Knight recovered from minor injuries. Shakur succumbed to his injuries six days later at 25 years old.
