Paul Brenner

Agnant's lawyer, Paul Brenner, said Shakur falsely believed his client made a deal with prosecutors.Shakur, 25, was gunned down Sept. 7 in Las Vegas in an unsolved killing.

Indictments were handed down on sex-abuse, sodomy, and also weapons charges (two guns were found in the hotel room), and Agnant's lawyer, Paul Brenner, who had represented the Patrolmen's Benevolent Assocation for many years, moved that his client's case be severed from the two codefendants', on the ground that only Tupac and Man Man had been charged with the weapons offenses, and that therefore the indictment was improperly joined.The prosecutor did not oppose the motion--something that Tupac's lawyers say is highly unusual--and the judge granted it.
