Day 5 of the 2Pac trial, afternoon session: The DA plays the entirety of the 2009 interview Keffe D gave to investigators from Las Vegas Metro and the LAPD — the session he agreed to under a proffer deal.
Keffe repeats a practically identical version of the '08 proffer, with added details.
He again describes the scene at an Anaheim hotel, where Puffy first expressed his desire to kill Suge.
"Puffy said, 'I'll do anything for [Suge's] head.' ... He said it to the whole room. He was real scared of him. There was like 45 of us in the room, and he said it in front of everybody."
"Did Puffy have any problems with 2Pac?"
"When that record ['Hit 'Em Up'] came out. He said he was a f****t and shit. It made him mad."
Keffe is asked point blank:
"Does Puffy Combs play a role in this thing?"
"Yeah, I think he did."
The detectives ask if anyone mentioned Puffy directly after the shooting.
"We were like, 'Damn, we can get paid now,'" Keffe says.
"Do you think somebody got paid?"
"Zip. That's what we think. That's what word on the street is."
Keffe describes a subsequent meeting with Zip Martin at a hot wings spot on Melrose and La Brea, where Zip allegedly promises to get him the bounty money from Puff.
The money never arrives. Keffe remains convinced Zip took it and used it to fund a three-story nightclub.
After the shooting, Keffe describes the scene on the streets of Compton:
"We were scared to death because Suge had the real Compton police working for him. The whole city was with Death Row. They would raid your houses, and we'd know they were with Suge. We were at a big disadvantage."
Police ask how he feels about 2Pac being dead now.
"I wish it never happened," Keffe says. "It fucked up everything. I wish I would have never met Puff Daddy. He messed up my life. I was rich. Now it's all gone."
Before lunch recess, Keffe D addresses the judge as soon as the jury is out of the room:
"Tell them to stop giving out our address," he says pointing to prosecutors. "[People] have vandalized and tried to break into our home. They've vandalized my wife's car. It's wrong...
I've been beat up by the cops, this guy attacked me in [jail] and it's mostly because of this guy."
"I think he's upset because I'm prosecuting him for murder," DA Marc DiGiacomo says.
"No, I'm upset because he's endangering my family's life."
Day 3 of the 2Pac trial:
The state calls a former FBI agent from the federal task force that busted Keffe D on a wiretap in the late '90s for drug trafficking, and eventually got him to sign a proffer agreement to inform.
In the statement – made in exchance for leniency – Keffe D claims to be running a multinational drug ring involving Puffy associate Eric "Von Zip" Martin in New York and a Colombian supplier named Primo.
He boasts about having the South Side Compton drug trade "sewn up," and implicates Suge Knight as running the North Side — and later Reggie Wright Jr., after Suge got locked up. He says then-Compton Mayor Omar Bradley is on the take from Suge and Death Row.
He also claims involvement in the initial transfer of money from Michael "Harry O" Harris to Suge that funded the startup of Death Row. He names most of the major players in the Compton drug trade, his own suppliers, and who he's selling to.
On the murder of 2Pac, he claims to have had nothing to do with it, and suggests that some combination of Wright Jr. and Suge killed him for trying to leave the label. He admits to being in Vegas the night of the fight, but says he and Orlando Anderson never tried to get revenge because there was too much of a law enforcement presence on the Strip.
