Defense attorney believes jury had "preconceived notions" in Tupac trial
Duane "Keffe D" Davis was convicted of first-degree murder nearly 30 years after the drive-by shooting that killed Tupac Shakur.
Defense attorney Duane Keffe D. Davis filed an appeal for his conviction in the 1996 shooting death of Tupac Shakur. Michael Sanft, representing Davis, expressed shock at the jury's quick 3-hour verdict, citing the need for more time to consider the evidence. He believed the jury had preconceived notions, leading to the conviction.
Prosecution claimed Davis procured the gun used in the drive-by shooting in retaliation for his nephew's beating earlier that day. Despite the lack of direct evidence linking Davis to the shooting, he was found guilty under Nevada law. Davis' sentencing is scheduled for October 13, with a maximum sentence of life in prison.
