"Prosecutors Cite Jail Call in Denying 'Keefe D' Bail, Highlighting Threat to 2Pac Case Witnesses"

Prosecutors in Las Vegas have presented evidence suggesting that Keefe D, the man accused of ordering Tupac Shakur's murder in 1996, may be attempting to harm witnesses in the case. A jailhouse phone call indicated a "green light" order, which has led to federal intervention to protect at least one witness. Keefe D, who is currently held without bail, has pleaded not guilty to the murder charge, with his attorneys claiming his previous confessions were for entertainment and financial gain. A court hearing is scheduled for January 2 to address these allegations.

El Salvador's President Defies Constitution, Registers for Reelection.

El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele has registered to run for reelection next year, despite objections from legal experts and opposition figures who say the country's constitution prohibits his candidacy. Bukele's approval ratings are running above 80% in many polls, following a reduction in crime stemming from his harsh-but-popular crackdown on gangs. While constitutional bans on reelection were once common in Latin America, those term limits have been removed, overturned or ignored in a number of cases, including Honduras, Nicaragua, Venezuela and Bolivia.
