In a shocking turn of events in the case involving the murder of iconic rapper Tupac Shakur, gangster Keefe D did not inform his lawyer about a second taped confession he gave to Las Vegas cops in 2009. This confession reportedly detailed his key role in the killing of Tupac on the Las Vegas strip in 1996.
Despite the revelation of this new confession, Keefe’s lawyer, Carl Arnold, argued that the tape does not bring any new evidence to the case and actually proves that there isn’t enough proof for a conviction. Arnold claimed that he was not aware of the existence of the tape and interview until recently, but he received a transcript and audio copy.
The newly discovered recording has not yet been submitted into evidence, and evidence custodians confirmed that the tape was not in their department. The Clark County District Attorney also had not filed any paperwork related to the tape. This has raised questions about why the confession tape was not used in the Grand Jury presentation of evidence in September.
Keefe, who previously confessed to a Las Vegas Metro Police officer about his involvement in Tupac’s murder, has maintained a not-guilty plea. His lawyer argued that Keefe’s confessions were fabricated for financial gain, as he had given media interviews and even wrote a memoir about the assassination purely for money.
Overall, the case surrounding Tupac’s murder continues to be shrouded in mystery and controversy, with more questions being raised about the handling of evidence by law enforcement and prosecutors.
