A prosecution witness in rapper
Snoop Doggy Dogg's murder trial
changed his story and said he could
not have seen the crime clearly because
he was high on marijuana and wasn't
wearing his glasses.
The rapper, whose real name is
Calvin Broadus, and his bodyguard,
McKnley Lee, are charged with murder
in the 1993 drive-by shooting that killed
Philip Woldemariam, a reputed gang
member.
Jose Luis Murillo testified Monday
he had been standing outside with his
cousin Cesar Serrano, who testified in
the trial last week, when Broadus and
Lee drove by several times and then
stopped at a park.
Prosecutors said that supported

Bobby Grace reminded
Murillo he had told police he saw a
flash of light coming from the Jeep
driven by the rapper as the gun went
off.
"Did you actually see a flash?" Grace
asked Murillo.
"No," Murillo responded. When
asked why he gave contradictory
information to police, Murillo said, "It
was all the excitement," adding that
he had merely repeated to police what
Serrano had told him he had seen.
Deputy District Attorney Ed Nison
said he believes the witness may have

of reprisal from the rapper.

the police," Nison said.
Broadus' attorney, David Kenner,
said the contradiction "speaks volumes
to the weakness of the prosecution's
case."
One witness who claimed to see
smoke coming out of Lee's gun later
acknowledged he was more than 100
yards away.
Another witness who told jurors he
had seen Lee walk down an alley with
a gun several hours before the shooting
later said the man he saw was larger
and lighter-skinned than Lee.
Lee's attorney, Donald Re, said the
prosecution witnesses "have been led
by the nose to say certain things. Now
that they have to explain themselves,
they change their story."

tips: Make your New Year's resolutions
earlier to give yourself an incentive to
start earlier and work harder in
developing a healthy holiday diet.
Enlist a family member or friend to
exercise and to diet with you for social
support and encouragement.
Finally, forget about those guests
who may find your healthy holiday meal
disgusting; they will come around when
they start seeing the benefits of changing
habits.
Sargent agrees by saying, "If people
made better choices on their festive days,
they'll have more festive days to enjoy."
