The legal team representing Duane "Keefe D" Davis has initiated a bold challenge against the use of his recorded confessions in the upcoming trial regarding the murder of Tupac Shakur.
Keefe D, a former gang member, has adamantly maintained his innocence in the case, despite his previous admission of involvement in pursuing the rap legend on that fateful night in Las Vegas.
The suspect has partnered with his legal representative, Carl Arnold, to contest the admissibility of a recorded interview conducted by the Metro Police back in 2009. This interview, which resurfaced amid the renewed scrutiny surrounding Tupac's murder, has become a focal point of contention in the legal proceedings.
According to The Sun, Arnold expressed his confidence that the 2009 interview would not hold up as admissible evidence in court. He argued that the tape presented various legal issues and lacked significant relevance to the case at hand.
Moreover, the lawyer hinted at potential discrepancies within the recording, casting doubt on its credibility as a piece of incriminating evidence against his client.
"The motion's going to be coming down the pipe pretty soon within two to three weeks after that," Arnold stated, outlining their strategy to challenge the use of the recorded confessions.
"The motion will be to dismiss that tape," Arnold emphasized, underlining their intention to remove the recorded interview from consideration in the trial.
The revelation of Keefe D's past affiliation as the leader of a group of South Side Crips, allegedly on a mission to track down Tupac following his altercation with Orlando Anderson, further complicates the legalities of things.
One of the key points of argument raised by Keefe D's legal team revolves around the circumstances of his interview with the Metro Police. He claimed that he was promised immunity before answering any questions.
Arnold pondered, "You had that information in 2009. Why did it take you this long to go ahead and prosecute?"
"I mean, if you look at all the other stories, those are the main components of how Keefe would be criminally liable for the case. So you had all the central parts back in 2009, what have we heard that is the different?"
"Think about - really nothing?"
Keefe is still detailed in the Clark County Detention Center after being unable to post bail.
Maintaining his innocence, his trial is scheduled to commence in November.
