Overview
- The trial, which had jurors listen to a 2008 law‑enforcement interview on Thursday, put Duane “Keffe D” Davis’s own account that his nephew Orlando Anderson fired the shots at the center of evidence.
- Prosecutors told the court they will present about five hours of video and say Davis’s recorded interviews and his 2019 memoir show he helped plan the attack even though they do not allege he pulled the trigger.
- Davis has given conflicting statements over decades, first denying involvement in a 1998 proffer to federal agents and later describing being in the white Cadillac and handing a gun to others in 2008 and in his memoir.
- Witnesses on the stand have been mixed on cooperation and credibility, with former Death Row security guard James McDonald refusing to name suspects and retired officer Garry Dale testifying that Tupac repeatedly would not identify his shooters in the ambulance.
- The prosecution must prove organization or supply of the weapon under Nevada law without a recovered gun or the white Cadillac and with the other alleged occupants deceased, a gap the defense says undercuts the case and that could shape jurors’ credibility decisions.
