In a shocking turn of events, a Las Vegas judge has only set a bail of $750,000 for Duane “Keffe D” Davis, a former gang leader who has been accused of playing a role in the murder of the late hip-hop legend Tupac Shakur back in 1996. Can you believe this? The audacity of it all!

It gets even more outrageous, as the judge has decided that Davis can be under house arrest until his June trial as long as he can post bail. House arrest? Are they kidding? This is a slap in the face to the justice system! Who knows what kind of trouble Davis could get into while he’s lounging around in the comfort of his own home?
Davis’s state-appointed attorneys had the nerve to request a bail of no more than $100,000, claiming that his declining health and recent battle with cancer make him not a flight risk. What a load of malarkey! As if health issues make someone less likely to skip town and avoid facing the music for their alleged crimes.
But wait, it gets better. Prosecutors argued that Davis is indeed a threat, citing a recorded jail call where he allegedly mentioned a “green light” as permission to kill. If that isn’t a red flag, then what is? And let’s not forget about the 2019 tell-all memoir and police investigations that allegedly point to his involvement in the crime.
In a feeble attempt to defend their client, Davis’s legal team tried to downplay the significance of the recorded jail call, claiming that he had no idea what his son was talking about when he mentioned a “green light” on the family. Oh, please! Who are they trying to fool with these flimsy excuses?
To add insult to injury, Davis’s lawyers had the gall to question why it took 15 years for police and prosecutors to arrest him for Tupac’s murder if he was supposedly such a danger to society. Talk about grasping at straws! It’s clear that they’re trying to create doubt where there should be none.
Since his arrest back in September, Davis has been locked up in the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas without bail. And despite all the mounting evidence against him, he has the nerve to maintain his innocence and plead not guilty. It’s like he thinks we’re all just a bunch of gullible suckers!
But the cherry on top of this whole ordeal is that Davis’s attorneys actually believe he will be able to post bail. Can you believe the nerve of these people? It’s like they’re living in a fantasy world where their client isn’t a potential threat to society. This whole situation is a complete travesty, and it’s clear that justice has not been served.
