Walter “King Tut” Johnson, who 2Pac famously accused of allegedly shooting him at Quad Studios in 1994, has been released from prison after spending 27 years behind bars for unrelated crimes. While he was initially sentenced to life five times over in 1997, the federal judge behind that decision has changed his mind and admitted that the ruling was "excessively harsh." He was never formally charged with the attack referenced by 2Pac in the original liner notes of his album, The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory , as noted by HipHopDX .
“Judges gain insights that with the passage of time only can come with experience on the bench and their judicial maturation,” Judge Frederic Block wrote in his decision from earlier this month, as caught by The New York Times . “I now believe that my sentences, though lawfully rendered, were excessively harsh.” Read More: 2Pac's Brother Remains Unconvinced Diddy Wasn't Allegedly Involved In Late Rapper's Murder MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA - AUGUST 1: Tupac Shakur (L) and Treach of Naughty By.
