Keefe D after being arrested and charged for the murder of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur is now speaking and claiming he lied about murdering the rapper to rake in some cash. Really?
He also went mad while talking about his bail issues.
The 60-year-old – real name Duane Davis – fabricated his role in the 1996 assassination of Shakur to bank tens of thousands of dollars through media interviews and a memoir – after seeing an ex-LAPD officer make money with his own book.
Former LA drug dealer Keefe looked dejected, shuffling around in his shackled hands and feet as he appeared in court to hear how his trial would be postponed until November.
Afterwards, Keefe’s new defense lawyer Carl Arnold told The U.S Sun he was confident on clearing his client in “one of the biggest cases in Las Vegas history” – following Tuesday’s court hearing.
Arnold says Keefe’s previous confessions to the murder were influenced by ex LAPD task force investigator Greg Kading, who after probing Biggie Smalls and Tupac’s deaths, released a book and forged a media career around the killings.
Arnold said: “There’s no evidence that he was involved.
“He did what Detective Kading did. He put out a book and he made money.
“I mean even the state’s main investigator that testified at the grand jury said this is all about making money and that’s why he put out the book.”
When asked to confirm Keefe’s stance is: “I did it for money”, Arnold replied: “Correct.”
Arnold also labeled prosecutors’s claim that Keefe was a “threat to society” as “ridiculous”.
“I saw an affidavit from a neighbor that lives right next to him and said they were one of the best neighbors.
“He and his wife sat out in front of the garage, greeted everybody, talked about the grandkids.
“We never heard about Mr. Davis in regards to being a threat until this trial and when he’s getting ready to come out, all of a sudden he’s a threat.”
There are some issues you shouldn’t joke about regardless of how famous or how much money you will rake from it. Murder issues can’t be joked about and this makes Keefe D’s case a complicated one.
