Why Keffe D Believed His Tupac Confession Could Never Be Used

from Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary · host True Crime Today

Tupac Shakur's family sat in a Las Vegas courtroom and listened to Duane "Keffe D" Davis describe the night of September 7, 1996 in his own voice. The recording came from a 2008 police interview that opened with a promise: nothing Davis said could be used against him, and nothing would leave the room. The Tupac Shakur murder trial has now put every word in front of a jury. Davis, charged with murder with a deadly weapon and a gang enhancement, has pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors never claim he fired a shot. Their case is that he planned the retaliation after his nephew was beaten at the MGM Grand hours earlier, obtained the gun, and handed it toward the back seat of the white Cadillac, where Orlando Anderson allegedly used it. On the tape, Davis says the angle decided everything, and that Shakur's side of the street was the only thing that kept him from firing personally. The interview happened because a task force was chasing the killing of the Notorious B.I.G. Detectives testified they asked Davis nothing about Tupac and he raised it himself, contradicting denials he had given the FBI a decade earlier. No gun was ever recovered and the Cadillac was never found, and the other three men from the car are dead. What the state holds is Davis's recorded account, his memoir, his documentary appearances, and its argument that going public destroyed the confidentiality he was promised. The defense calls all of it fiction sold for money. The tape is in evidence now, and the promise protects nobody. This episode covers what jurors heard and what it costs both sides.
