Judge Carli Kierny just DENIED Duane “Keefe D” Davis’s motion to suppress — meaning his recorded interviews and his own 2019 book can be used against him at trial.
Davis is accused of orchestrating the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur. His defense attorney, Michael Sanft, filed three motions ahead of the August trial — including a request to throw out the recorded interviews Davis gave and the memoir he wrote himself.
The judge said no.
I’m going LIVE to break down what this ruling actually means, why a defendant’s own words are so hard to suppress, and what’s left of the defense’s strategy with trial weeks away.
