"James Crumbley Reveals Source of Legal Funding for Oxford Case Defense"

James Crumbley, facing trial for his alleged role in the Oxford High School shooting, declared himself indigent and unable to afford a transcript of his wife's trial, which could help him avoid pitfalls. Despite claiming to be broke, he revealed in an affidavit that he used funds from the sale of his home to retain his private lawyer. His wife, Jennifer Crumbley, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the same case, and James Crumbley is now facing the same charges. Jury selection for his trial begins on Tuesday.

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.
