What Happened
A judge has ruled that a book written by Duane "Keffe D" Davis, the suspect in the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur, can be used as evidence in his trial. Davis is accused of orchestrating the drive-by shooting that resulted in Shakur's death in Las Vegas.
The ruling permits prosecutors to introduce the book, titled "Son of God," as part of their case against Davis. The defense had sought to exclude the book, arguing it contained hearsay and irrelevant information.
Davis has maintained his innocence in Shakur's death, though he has publicly admitted to being present during the shooting and has claimed he was acting in self-defense. The trial is expected to focus on the events leading up to and during the fatal incident.
