A Los Angeles inmate who implicated a former L.A.P.D. officer in the murder of Notorious B.I.G. admits to lying about the officer’s involvement, which is another new twist in the unsolved murder case.
Waymond Anderson, a former R&B singer who is now serving a life sentence for murder in a different case, said in an Aug. 20 deposition that he lied as part of a scam to win a monetary settlement from the city.
His deposition, which was first reported in the Los Angeles Times on Wednesday, states that he was offered a portion of a settlement if he testified that former police officer Rafael Perez told him that another ex-police officer, David Mack, was involved.
Both officers denied any involvement in the March 9, 1997, murder of the New York rapper.
“I don’t know David Mack, I don’t know Rafael Perez,” Anderson said in the deposition. “It was a lie, and I’m ashamed of it.”
