Sparks fly, Nevada judge sets deadline in bail bid for man charged in Tupac Shakur killing

Associated Press

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Sparks flew as a Nevada judge rebuked a defense attorney and a former Los Angeles-area gang leader lashed out against prosecutors during his renewed effort to be freed from jail to house arrest ahead of his trial in the 1996 killing of hip-hop legend Tupac Shakur. The judge last month rejected a hip-hop music figure’s attempt to underwrite Duane “Keffe D” Davis’ $750,000 bail bond. The judge on Tuesday called for more documentation by next week. She also accused defense lawyer Carl Arnold of shaping media attention about the case, which Arnold denied. Davis has been jailed since his arrest last September. He has pleaded not guilty to murder and is due for trial in November.
