Starz has begun development on the miniseries A Moment In Time: Murder Was The Case from 50 Cent and Snoop Dogg. The series will explore Snoop Dogg’s rise to fame and the 1993 murder trial which propelled it.
In 1993, Snoop Dogg aka Calvin Broadus, was charged with first degree murder for the shooting of Philip Woldermariam, an alleged member of a rival gang. Snoop’s trial was happening during the release of his debut album, Doggy Style, which also features the widely popular single “Murder was the Case.”
The publicity of the case boosted sales, but the violent nature of “Murder Was The Case” would go on to hurt Snoop’s case in his trial.
