- Judge allows use of police interview in trial for man accused of killing Tupac Shakur
A Nevada judge ruled that a 2008 police interview with Duane 'Keffe D' Davis, accused of killing Tupac Shakur in 1996, can be used in his trial starting August 10. Davis, who claims he provided the weapon used in the murder, argued the interview was confidential, while prosecutors say it is admissible. The interview was previously featured in a detective's book and documentaries.
- Book that Tupac Shakur murder suspect wrote is clear for use in the trial, judge rules
A judge ruled that a book co-written by Duane 'Keffe D' Davis, the man prosecutors allege ordered Tupac Shakur's 1996 murder, can be used in his trial. Davis faces a murder charge related to the Las Vegas shooting, and his defense argued the book was fictionalized and that prior police statements were inadmissible due to claimed immunity. The court determined Davis adopted the book's content as truthful and allowed the statements as evidence.
