Thirty years after Tupac Shakur was murdered on the Las Vegas Strip, a jury will finally hear the case against the man accused of orchestrating it.
Opening statements in the trial of Duane “Keefe D” Davis begin TODAY — and I’m covering it live from the first word.
This is the moment the case stops being filings and motions and becomes a story told to twelve people. Both sides lay out what they intend to prove. The State will walk the jury through the 1996 shooting, the alleged motive, and the evidence they say convicts him — most of it drawn from Davis’s own book and interviews. The defense gets its first real chance to tell the jury why none of it should be believed.
What we’re watching for:
⚖️ How the State frames its case — and what they lead with
???? Whether Compton Street Legend is the centerpiece
????️ The defense’s theory — ghostwriter, “entertainment,” coerced statements
???? The jury that was seated last week
????️ What both sides promise the evidence will show
❓ And a reminder: opening statements are NOT evidence
I’ll be breaking it down in real time and taking your questions in chat.
Davis has pleaded not guilty. He is presumed innocent, and nothing said in openings is evidence — it’s a roadmap of what each side intends to prove.
