    Keffe D Trial: Prosecution & Defense Clash in Intense Courtroom Charging Conference | Case Brief

    Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/E9560lA271A This Case Brief highlights a legal charging conference where the judge and attorneys debate and establish over 50 jury instructions. The proceedings focus on crucial, fact-based instructions including the voluntariness of the defendant's statement, corpus delicti and its relation to confession corroboration, and the law of self-defense. While the defense successfully fights for a voluntariness instruction, the corpus delicti debate culminates in a modified instruction clarifying that a defendant's confession—if believed—does not require further corroboration as long as independent evidence proves the victim's death was caused by a criminal act. Ultimately, the judge plans to pre-read these instructions to the jury before closing arguments begin on Monday. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    Tupac Trial Opening Statements - Fact or Fiction? | Case Brief

    Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/gGBJJnek1aM This Case Brief reviews the first day of the first-degree murder trial of Duane ‘Keffe D’ Davis for the September 1996 drive-by shooting of rapper Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas. The prosecution argues that Davis planned and orchestrated the killing as gang retaliation after Shakur participated in the beating of Davis's nephew, Orlando Anderson. While the prosecution relies heavily on Davis’s own admissions from interviews and his 2019 book, Compton Street Legend, the defense counters with a "fact or fiction" theme. The defense asserts that Davis is a known "bullshitter" whose claims are merely entertainment and hyperbole, while also highlighting missing police reports and questioning the overall integrity of the 30-year-old investigation.

    Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/0icF2zqoldw In a recent legal update regarding Kouri Richins, a restitution hearing in her murder case scheduled for July 31, 2026, was postponed by Judge M. to August 28, 2026, to allow the defense time to respond to the state's motion. Concurrently, Richins is facing a separate financial crimes case involving 26 charges, detailing extensive debt, fraudulent loans, check kiting, and an alleged plot to murder her husband, Eric Richins, for pecuniary gain. The financial case features newly surfaced text messages from late witness Hayden Jeffs, whom Richins allegedly solicited for fentanyl and propofol shortly before Eric's death. Following the withdrawal of her initial trial attorneys, Richins' newly appointed counsel requested a 45-to-60-day window to review discovery, prompting the judge to schedule a WebEx conference for October 9, 2026. Prior to calling this case, Judge M. presided over drug court, earning praise from the speaker for his empathetic yet accountable approach to celebrating sobriety and counseling individuals in custody.
