Sparks flew in court Tuesday as a Nevada judge rebuked a defence attorney and an ailing former Los Angeles-area gang leader lashed out against prosecutors during his renewed effort to be freed from jail to house arrest ahead of his trial in the 1996 killing of hip-hop legend Tupac Shakur.
Duane "Keffe D" Davis, left, who is accused of orchestrating the 1996 slaying of hip-hop icon Tupac Shakur, listens to his attorney Carl Arnold during a hearing to reconsider his bond at the Regional Justice Center, July 23, 2024, in Las Vegas.
Arnold was recently featured in a British tabloid report that said he was fielding offers for a film crew to follow him working on Davis' behalf. The article quoted Arnold calling Shakur's death a "legacy" legal case and invoking the memory of Johnnie Cochran, a defence attorney for O.J. Simpson during his 1995 trial in Los Angeles. Cochran, who died in 2005, was famously credited with showing jurors a glove and saying, "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit.
No arrests have ever been made in the Wallace case. Davis is the only person ever charged in the Shakur killing. Jones, who has managed artists including Johnathan "Blueface" Porter and Jayceon "The Game" Taylor, testified in June that he wanted to put up money for Davis because Davis was fighting cancer and had "always been a monumental person in our community ... especially the urban community."
Authorities allege that the shooting stemmed from competition between East Coast members of a Bloods gang and West Coast parts of a Crips gang, including Davis, for dominance in a musical genre known at the time as "gangsta rap."
