Tupac's murder went unsolved for 27 years. Then the man in the front passenger seat published a memoir about that night, and a Las Vegas jury just needed 3 hours to convict him.
Here's the wild part. Duane "Keffe D" Davis had already confessed to police back in 2008, and it was legally useless. He talked under a proffer deal, the "queen for a day" arrangement where investigators promise nothing from the session gets used against you. Detectives heard the full story of September 7, 1996 and couldn't touch him.
So Davis walked. For over a decade, the only living person from that Cadillac was free, protected by his own confession.
Then he started selling the story. TV interviews. YouTube sit-downs in 2017. And in 2019, a memoir called Compton Street Legend, where he put himself in the car and named his own nephew as the shooter.
The proffer only protected what he said inside that interview room. A book published for profit has no Fifth Amendment protection. The judge ruled the memoir independent evidence, the case got reopened, and in 2023 Davis became the only person ever charged in the most famous cold case in music history.
There was no weapon, no DNA, no other living eyewitness. The prosecution's case was two dozen witnesses plus hours of Davis narrating his own crime. His defense was that he invented all of it for money.
The jury took under 3 hours. He faces life, sentencing October 13.
Police couldn't close the case with 27 years of investigation. His book royalties closed it in one memoir.
All those years where I played career mode on FIFA and the transfer windows spat out goofy move after goofy move doesn't hold a candle to whatever the fuck has happened in the PL this summer
Mina Kimes pointed it out, but this whole fake WR scam really exposes how far Google has fallen. The AI search result concluded that he is a legitimate 49ers player, citing his social media accounts as proof. Search engines are more exposed to manipulation than ever before
Translation: "Sony realized they f*cked up and is concerned that Xbox is planning to capitalize on said f*ck up!"
This is a prime example as to why competition is a good thing.
