Overview
- A 12‑member jury and four alternates were seated this week, and opening statements are scheduled to begin Monday in Clark County District Court.
- Davis, 63, has pleaded not guilty to one count of murder with a deadly weapon filed under a law that allows conviction for someone who organized or aided a killing.
- Prosecutors say they will rely heavily on passages from Davis’s 2019 memoir and recorded interviews after Judge Carli Kierny ruled portions admissible at trial.
- No murder weapon or the white Cadillac were ever recovered and the three other men in the car have died, so the case will turn on decades‑old accounts and jurors’ assessments of witness credibility.
- Prosecutors expect to call roughly 35–45 witnesses, a list that may include Marion “Suge” Knight, and the trial could shape public understanding and possible closure for Tupac’s family and fans.
