      No we don't. They used him as a patsy and scapegoat was never no Harry Billups or Amir that was smoking mirrors. Even Lyga saids he believes that sketch just like I been saying since I was a kid that Kevin Gaines killed Biggie. That was the man with the funny haircut and the suit and bow tie at that party. I bet if they showed Big Gene that picture of Kevin Gaines then that Sketch of so Called Amir Muhammad then he would say damn that's the same person i seen walking up to Puffy car looking angry with a suit and bow tie on. I always told people Kevin Gaines went out by suicide by cop having a guilty conscious about what he just did on March 9th 97. He dies a week later??. Coincidence isn't it😂😂😂😂. Yea he definitely smoked Biggie and checked out early before they can get him. Kevin Gaines knew them streets or Feds was coming.

    This guy is not being 100% transparent. I've heard thus guy claim he and his guys split up after their job and he was on his own when Kevin pulled up. HERE IN the opening sequence he says he "led the pack" on their way back. So he's in front of them and then suddenly kevin shows up and lyga by himself and needs to radio his crew for help. Whatever you say, man. Fulla fckn sht

      @woodchuck9344 Mlaybe. Anything is possible. But the fact he states he didnt recognize Gaines at the light, but also says he and "all of us" (fellow cops) believed Gaines was biggies shooter as soon as the sketch was released. When was the sketh released? At first i had no opinion, i waited to hear it. But now I find him untrustworthy.

    Frank Lyga is and was found innocent by the legal system. But in God’s moral court, he’s guilty. He obviously escalated the situation by even interacting with Gaines while having all the training to deescalate situations before they elevate to the point this one did. And he admitted he was even willing to fight him! He just operated within the boundaries of the law better then his other corrupt LAPD partners.
    Also, he sounds like a real shining example to have teaching future officers at the academy. LAPD still remains the biggest gang in LA.
    And he even began the interview by saying he was “leading the pack” of other officers heading back to Hollywood but yet they were no where to be found during a car pursuit and a shootout. Even the CHP beat them there.
    Something ain’t addin up 🤔

    So facts about the house. Kevin was not in his Mercedes he was in the house owner suv the same one he was shot in. The Mercedes with the CIA plates was in the driveway. So there for the gate opener wouldn’t have been in the Mercedes. Two he would have never said it was his house. Three the officers were on foot when Kevin saw them walking up the hall. Kevin also told them he would escort them to the pool through the garage because he didn’t have access to the house. If a call is related to an area and the area showed no signs of evidence it’s no need to enter a persons house.
