GREG KADING Defense challenged Dorsey’s reliance on files supplied by Greg Kading Kading worked the Biggie Smalls task force rather than the original LVMPD Tupac investigation The parties argued outside the jury’s presence about how far defense could go into Kading’s credibility and conduct Judge Kierny allowed defense to explore the completeness of the case file Dorsey relied upon and how Dorsey obtained it, while limiting unsupported character attacks on Kading VERIFICATION Defense questioned whether Dorsey independently verified details in Davis’s later accounts, including: Foxy Brown being in Las Vegas Davis renting rooms at Caesars Palace Davis’s claimed $3,000 Versace suit His alleged seating at the Tyson fight Photos in Compton Street Legend Orlando Anderson’s clothing The “Liquor Barn” stop People allegedly traveling in the group Whether a .40-caliber gun was recovered Whether searches produced evidence placing Davis in Las Vegas Asked whether he personally possessed physical evidence connecting Davis to Tupac’s murder, Dorsey said he did not.
