Keefe D finds himself at the center of a media frenzy, with major TV networks vying for exclusive interviews to share his perspective on the Tupac Shakur murder case. Alongside this, his attorney, Carl Arnold, has reportedly been approached to document his legal strategies aimed at securing the suspect's freedom related to the iconic rapper's death.
Despite the ex-gangster's confessions of orchestrating the incident, Arnold is actively seeking an agreement with television networks.
Both Arnold and Keefe, whose real name is Duane Davis, remain hopeful that they will secure TV and movie deals pending approval from Judge Carli Kierny during the upcoming Bail Reconsideration hearing scheduled for July 23. Kierny's hesitation in granting bail was primarily influenced by Keefe's attempt to profit from his association with Tupac, posing a challenge
The lawyer emphasized the importance of a financial arrangement to support Keefe in compensating for his legal services.
However, Arnold firmly believes that Keefe is entitled to both legal representation and financial gain from this case.
Information has revealed that Keefe's relatives have been discussing their plans to generate massive income through television, media, and a potential movie agreement.
Speaking to The US Sun, Arnold disclosed that he has initiated negotiations for himself and Keefe.
"We get approached with that since the inception of the case ever since I got on board. Different news agencies and TV shows have all come up and said, 'Hey, when Keefe gets out, we want to follow you. We want to see the preparation of the defense.'"
"Trust me, nobody's wrote me a contract yet," Arnold added.

The lawyer has reportedly agreed to appear in a documentary-style reality program that will showcase his journey towards reclaiming Keefe's freedom.
"When I'm dead and gone, we have to preserve this thing. It's a legacy. It's a legacy case," he admitted of a deal."
He went on, "And so that's what I'm saying. This is the legacy or one of the legacies that I'm leaving when I leave this planet. So of course if somebody wants to film it - let's go."
Davis's intention to compensate Arnold for his legal assistance remains uncertain, especially considering the challenges he faced in raising the necessary bail amount of approximately $113k.
Arnold remained optimistic that the funds raised would be sufficient to gather a team upon the Compton gang member's release.
A source who spoke to the outlet said, "They are banking on this television agreement to cover all the expenses."
"There has been a lot of stress from Keefe's plight, and concern that the family could lose their home should the bill mount up."
"So far, they have kept his money issues separate from their world, but doubts remain about how long that lasts."
"Strangely Keefe has spent the last decade telling people around him 'One day they gonna make a film about my life and all this s-t."
"So in some ways, the ego that Keefe has about this notoriety still is there. Just how much he will make after the lawyers' fees is a different question."
However, another TV source revealed to the outlet, "It is unlikely a TV production company will pay millions for an old gangster saying his entire life was a lie. There are many issues with doing a deal with Duane Davis."
The outlet reported last week that Arnold wants Keefe released from prison to capitalize on any ties he may have to Tupac Shakur before his court appearance.
The legal expert further justified Keefe to engage in movie and TV projects based on his insights into the 1996 murder of Tupac
