'My client lied' - Accused Tupac killer's lawyer
The defense attorney for hip-hop legend Tupac Shakur's accused killer said Wednesday that his client Duane "Keffe D" Davis was involved in a 1996 He lied repeatedly about the Las Vegas drive-by shooting.
"He himself tells a different story," attorney Carl Arnold told reporters Tuesday after a brief meeting with the Nevada judge outside the Regional Judicial Center in Las Vegas. His trial is scheduled for Nov. 4.
Former Los Angeles gang boss Davis is accused of plotting the murder of Tupac Shakur. In Nevada, this is the legal equivalent of pulling the trigger yourself.
Arnold said his client's accounts of the murders were fabricated and prosecutors were unable to corroborate them with physical evidence.
"The Compton Street Legends: The Infamous Keffe D's Street-Level Accounts of Tupac and Biggie," Arnold said, referring to police and media interviews Davis has given since 2008 and his 2019 self-published book, "Compton Street Legends: The Infamous Keffe D's Street-Level Accounts of Tupac and Biggie." We only see what he promises." "Murder," "Death Row Origins," "Suge Knight," "The Fluffy Comb" and "Slick Cop." "
In that book, Davis admitted driving a white Cadillac driven by his nephew, Orlando Anderson, to the intersection of Flamingo Road and Koval Lane and asking Shakur and Death Row Records co-founder Suji · Knight fired.
Six days later, 25-year-old Shakur died of his injuries.
Arnold said police and prosecutors have no evidence that Davis was in Las Vegas at the time of the shooting.
"We've seen videos of other people here," he said. "Where's the video of Arnold talking about Davis?" "There's no indication he's here."
The video was captured by a surveillance camera in the lobby of the MGM Grand. In the video, Shakur, Knight and their friend and Bloods gang member Trayvon Lane attack Anderson, a member of the rival Cripps gang, in retaliation for a previous incident.
Arnold said Davis will not testify at the trial, but he plans to call Knight to testify — although Knight told TMZ last October that he would refuse to testify if asked.
The case they gave him was a murder case
Davis, 60, was arrested on Sept. 29, 2023, after being indicted by a grand jury in Shakur's murder. He remains in custody at the Clark County Detention Center since his arrest, although his bail was set at $750,000 on Jan. 9.
On Wednesday, Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson called the prosecution's evidence "strong."
Davis pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in November. If convicted, he will likely spend the rest of his life in prison.
