Lawyers representing Duane “Keefe D” Davis, a key figure in the ongoing Tupac Shakur murder trial, have filed a motion urging a Las Vegas judge to release their client from jail. Davis has been incarcerated at the Clark County Detention Center since his arrest in September in connection with the murder of the iconic rapper Tupac Shakur.
In the motion, Davis’s legal team is requesting his release on his own recognizance or the setting of a “reasonable” bail, arguing that his health is deteriorating during his time in custody. They propose a bail amount that is less than $100,000.
Since his arrest, Davis has consistently maintained his innocence, entering a plea of not guilty to the murder charge. His upcoming court date is scheduled for January 2nd.
The filing emphasizes concerns about Davis’s health, citing the adverse effects of his detention on his well-being. The lawyers argue that his continued confinement is compromising his physical condition, warranting a reconsideration of his pre-trial detention status.
The Tupac murder trial has been a long-standing and high-profile case, with Davis identified as a significant figure in the investigation. The motion for release highlights the impact of extended detention on Davis’s health and emphasizes the need for a fair and just legal process.
The court is expected to review the motion and assess the circumstances surrounding Davis’s detention in the coming weeks, shedding light on the evolving dynamics of this landmark case.
