Duane Davis claims innocence after Tupac Shakur murder conviction

Duane “Keffe D” Davis has asserted his innocence following his conviction by a Clark County jury for the first-degree murder of Tupac Shakur in 1996. In his first interview since the verdict, Davis expressed confidence that he will be released through an appeal.

Davis claims that his previous admissions of involvement to federal agents in the late 2000s were lies intended to secure his freedom from an ongoing drug case. He further argued that he was granted immunity by the Department of Justice and that the state of Nevada is illegally overriding that federal agreement.

Regarding his legal strategy, Davis stated he did not testify during the trial because his lawyer advised that doing so could jeopardize his chances for an appeal. He also alleged that his civil rights were violated during the proceedings.
