During
Court TV's coverage of the murder case surrounding Tupac Shakur,
Jennifer Brandt analyzed the evidentiary hurdles facing both sides as prosecutors seek to use Duane "Keffe D" Davis's own statements against him. Brandt noted that while Davis has made numerous public comments over the years that appear consistent and suggest animosity toward Tupac, the defense is expected to argue that those statements were unreliable exaggerations made for notoriety and credibility. She explained that the central issue for jurors may be determining which version of Davis to believe, particularly as his current claims conflict with many of his prior accounts. Brandt also suggested that, despite the risks, Davis may need to testify to explain why he repeatedly made statements appearing to implicate himself in the events surrounding Shakur's murder and to address questions about whether he was seeking fame, attention, or street credibility.
