Lawyer Drops Client Charged in Tupac Shakur Murder Case

Duane Keith "Keffe D" Davis, the former gang leader charged with killing Tupac Shakur in 1996, has lost his bid to be represented by the lawyer who previously spoke about his defense. Davis is due for arraignment in Nevada, and the judge may order a financial accounting of his assets to determine if he can afford a lawyer or if he should be declared indigent. The Clark county public defender's office is reviewing Davis's case to determine if they can represent him, and the judge may appoint a defense attorney at taxpayer expense. Davis, who has publicly described his role in Shakur's death, is expected to plead not guilty to the murder charge.
