63岁的被告杜安·"凯菲·D"·戴维斯因涉嫌策划1996年9月7日图帕克·沙库尔遇害案受审1。检控方在第一周的庭审中展示了戴维斯数十年来多个采访的记录，他在这些采访中承认参与了这起枪击事件1。检控方首席副地方检察官比努·帕拉尔在开庭陈词中表示："让我明确说清楚，杜安·戴维斯没有扣动扳机。但他策划了这次枪击事件，目的是报复他侄子遭殴打"1。戴维斯已宣布不认罪，若被定罪将面临终身监禁1。
辩方律师迈克尔·桑夫特对控方证据提出质疑，声称戴维斯的陈述是"满嘴胡诌"，不代表真实1。陪审团由6名男性和10名女性组成，其中包括4名替补陪审员1。第一周共有17名证人作证，检控方计划传唤更多证人1。在法庭上，戴维斯表示其家人安全受到威胁，称"他们一直给出我的地址...他们闯入我的房子，破坏了我的房子，破坏了我妻子的车"1。
The first week of the trial in the 1996 killing of rapper Tupac Shakur has centered on decades-old statements made by the defendant, Duane "Keffe D" Davis, in which he admitted involvement in the shooting incident.1 Davis, 63, faces a murder charge stemming from the September 7, 1996 incident in Las Vegas and has pleaded not guilty.1 A jury of six men and ten women, including four alternates, will determine whether Davis is guilty; conviction would result in a life sentence.1
Prosecutors presented opening arguments that Davis did not fire the fatal shot but orchestrated the shooting as retaliation for an attack on his nephew.1 "Let me be very clear, Duane Davis did not pull the trigger. But he planned this shooting in order to avenge his nephew being beaten up," Chief Deputy District Attorney Binu Palal told the court.1 The defense, however, argued that Davis's statements across multiple interviews spanning decades were boastful exaggerations rather than truthful accounts.1 Defense attorney Michael Sanft characterized Davis's claims as "full of BS" and not representative of reality.1
During the first week of proceedings, 17 witnesses testified for the prosecution, with prosecutors planning to call additional witnesses.1 Davis raised concerns about his family's safety in court, stating: "They keep giving out my address... They broke into my house, destroyed my house, destroyed my wife's car."1
