Keffe D’s Defense Turns on Confession | Music News
Description
The trial for Duane Davis, aka Keffe D, in the 1996 Tupac Shakur murder case just wrapped up its defense phase—fast and lean, with only three witnesses and under two hours. Defense lawyers leaned on former cops who saw a light-colored Cadillac near Suge Knight’s house, oddly matching eyewitness accounts of the car that pulled up beside Tupac’s BMW before the shooting. They’re painting a picture of sloppy police work and conflicting evidence, including old leads pointing to a Chevrolet Impala. But here’s the twist: Davis himself admitted he was in the Cadillac and handed a gun to shooters during a proffer interview—though prosecutors say he blew his credibility by talking about it publicly later. The defense is fighting back hard, claiming the confession was fabricated for leverage and that investigators botched their job. With closing arguments set for Monday, the jury’s about to hear a wild, tangled story with high stakes—and no easy answers.
