Duane "Keefe D" Davis has spent some time in prison before, which means he's not as nervous about a potential life sentence in the Tupac Shakur murder trial. TMZ reportedly spoke to alleged sources close to the suspect about his state of mind and his thoughts on a possible conviction.
According to the outlet, Keefe D is doing "pretty good" behind bars amid the Tupac trial's inception in Las Vegas. The court opened with the jury selection process on Monday (August 10) following Davis' not guilty plea.
Per the alleged sources, he's not nervous about possibly going back to prison if he faces a conviction, but he doesn't want to live out the rest of his life there. Reportedly, Keefe D recognizes he's an older man at 64 who won't have the same experiences he had when he was younger. "Prison is a dangerous place and horrible things happen there, especially when you're older," one source reportedly added.
Another reported factor is how his infamy as 'Pac's alleged killer might affect his day-to-day behind bars, facing scrutiny from other inmates. Reportedly, Davis' family and loved ones believe his tendency of "exaggerating" and "bulls**ting" is what landed him in jail.
TMZ's sources reportedly believe the prosecution's case is weak and should receive a dismissal with an apology, so they think Keefe D has a chance at freedom. Prosecutors claim he plotted the Vegas murder 30 years ago and produced the weapon another individual used to shoot and kill Shakur.
Keefe D Evidence In Tupac Case
This is the latest update in a very complex legal matter. Elsewhere, Keefe D's memoir will be evidence in the Tupac trial, which is something his defense team fought against. Prior to his 2023 arrest, he had spoken about his alleged role in the murder via books, police interviews, and other public statements. Defense lawyers argue this is fabricated exaggeration, not hard proof.
Keefe D had also accused someone else of Tupac's murder, namely Reggie Wright Jr. The former Death Row Records security chief denied these allegations, claiming he was not as close with Davis as his accusations suggest. In any case, it seems like Keefe D is ready to face trial.
