Keefe D, a figure linked to the Tupac Shakur murder case, reportedly did not inform his lawyer about a crucial confession he made to Las Vegas police in 2009.
The revelation surfaced recently, raising significant questions about the case’s handling.
Although Keefe’s lawyer, Carl Arnold, was unaware of the taped confession’s existence, he contends that the new evidence doesn’t alter the trial’s dynamics and actually suggests a lack of substantial proof against his client.
In the taped confession, Keefe purportedly admitted to involvement in the shooting incident on the Las Vegas strip in 1996.
This disclosure contradicts claims made by Arnold in court, asserting that Keefe wasn’t in Las Vegas at the time of the crime.
The discovery of the tape, which was featured in an ABC News special, hasn’t yet been officially submitted as evidence in court.
Arnold downplays its impact, emphasizing that the delayed disclosure undermines Keefe’s right to a fair trial due to deceased witnesses and the lengthy wait by law enforcement to act on the information.
Keefe’s assertions of innocence align with his defense strategy, claiming that his prior media statements and book about Tupac’s murder were fabricated for financial gain, inspired by the example of a former LAPD investigator.
Despite mounting accusations, Keefe maintains a not-guilty plea as he awaits trial scheduled for November.
