Keffe D's Tupac Confession Came With a Promise Cops Put on Tape

from True Crime Today | Daily True Crime News & Interviews · host Real Story Media

For fifteen years, the government held a recording of Duane "Keffe D" Davis explaining his role in the death of Tupac Shakur, and no charge followed. The Tupac trial in Las Vegas just showed the jury why that changed.The 2008 interview ran under a proffer agreement, which Davis later called the deal of a lifetime, and it legally blocked prosecutors from building a case out of what he said in the room. On the recording, detectives tell him directly that his statements cannot be used against him. Jurors heard those assurances played back in open court.They also heard what Davis did with the protection. He described the white Cadillac, the hunt that followed his nephew's beating at the MGM Grand, the gun moving from his hand toward the back seat, and Orlando Anderson allegedly firing the shots that killed Shakur at 25. It contradicted what he told the FBI years earlier, when he denied involvement and steered investigators toward New York.Then the material stopped being secret. A detective from the interview published details in a 2011 book. Davis appeared in a BET documentary in 2018, released a memoir in February 2019, and gave paid interviews repeating the account. Prosecutors argue those public statements nullified the confidentiality, and a grand jury indicted him in September 2023. Davis pleaded not guilty, his lawyer calls the narrative fiction, and the judge admitted the tape while noting concerns about the legality of the proffer statements.True Crime Today follows the trial down to the question underneath it: whether a man everyone agrees is unreliable told the truth exactly once.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
