What Keffe D Told Police About Tupac Back In 2008

from Hidden Killers Live! Daily True Crime News & Breakdowns · host Hidden Killers Podcast

Duane "Keffe D" Davis sat down with the LAPD in 2008 and described his alleged role in the murder of Tupac Shakur, on the record, in a proffer session his own defense team is now trying to use as a shield. He told a similar story on BET's "Death Row Chronicles." He wrote an even more detailed version in his 2019 memoir, claiming he provided the gun and gave the order that got Tupac killed over a fight at the MGM Grand. None of that stopped Las Vegas police from sitting on his statements for over a decade. They had what they needed by 2009. The arrest didn't come until 2023.  Now Davis says all of it was a lie to sell books, that he wasn't even in Las Vegas the night Tupac died, contradicting the account he published under his own name. There's no murder weapon in this case and no DNA. The man Davis says fired the shots, Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson, denied any involvement before he was killed in Compton in 1998. Judge Carli Kierny has already ruled Davis's own statements admissible, and his immunity claim tied to that 2008 proffer was rejected.  Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down whether a jury can convict on nothing but a defendant's own words, whether that immunity argument had any real teeth, and what it takes to prosecute a case this cold, three decades after the murder and fourteen years after police first had what they needed. Davis is 63, facing life without parole, and he's pleaded not guilty in a trial his own recorded history may end up deciding. Every major defense motion filed since his 2023 arrest has been rejected, leaving his own words as the centerpiece of the state's case. Links & Legal Footer Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
