Tupac trial week wrap-up | CNN

Duane Davis’s first week in the high-profile trial over his alleged role in Tupac Shakur’s Sept. 7, 1996 murder centered on credibility—whether Davis is a serial liar or “a stone-cold killer,” prosecutors and defense said. On Monday, Aug. 17, defense attorney Michael Sanft told jurors the account of Davis’s involvement across decades of interviews, public statements, podcasts and a book is “BULLSH*T.” Prosecutor Binu Palal urged the jury that silence is the key for survival, highlighting Davis’s alleged trouble staying quiet. Court presentations also used context from 1996, including older analog video and a hotel bill for evidence.
