Tupac Shakur's Accused Killer Duane 'Keefe D' Davis Makes Second Court Appearanc

Transcript

00:00 Shackled at his hands and feet, Tupac's accused killer Dwayne "Keefie D" Davis had high-powered

00:06 attorney Ross Goodman by his side, but he did not enter a plea because his arraignment

00:11 has been delayed once again.

00:12 I'm going to give you two weeks, but in two weeks we've got to get this case moving.

00:15 Goodman said he needed more time to confirm whether or not he's going to represent Keefie

00:19 D going forward.

00:21 If this representation issue is not resolved, Keefie D will have a court-appointed attorney.

00:26 No more delays.

00:27 While attorney Misty Maris tells Accent the holdup may all come down to money.

00:32 This case is going to cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to take this case to trial.

00:38 My guess, this attorney needs time to work with Keefie D to iron out all those logistics.

00:44 I've been speaking with Mr. Davis.

00:46 We are close to finalizing my agreement.

00:49 After today's hearing, Goodman told reporters Keefie D plans to plead not guilty.

00:54 There's no surprise that Keefie D plans to plead not guilty.

00:58 Although there's so much in the media about the statements that Keefie D has made outside

01:03 of the courtroom, it doesn't necessarily mean that all those statements will make it into

01:08 trial.

01:09 Davis is accused of orchestrating the gang-related drive-by shooting that killed Tupac in Las

01:13 Vegas 27 years ago.

01:14 He's been publicly boasting about his involvement in the murder for years through various outlets

01:19 like podcasts, documentaries, and even an autobiography.

01:23 Big Dre, Orlando, who shot Tupac?

01:27 The keeper from the cold little streets.

01:30 He just came from the back seat, bro.

01:32 The defense strategy is going to be a hard push to keep all of these public statements

01:38 out of the courtroom.

01:39 The defense is going to argue that they fall under the umbrella of hearsay.

01:43 However, if they're not successful, the case is much harder.

01:47 This case is really going to hinge on what evidence actually comes into the case.
