Trial for Tupac Shakur's murder: New allegations, insight

All right. Another trial. Everybody seems to be talking about. We have Tupac Shakur. That trial is underway with the jurors hearing recorded police interviews from the suspect who is the one on trial, Dwayne Kifidi Davis. So joining us live in the studio to break down today's courtroom developments is defense attorney Gary Pullen. Thank you so much for joining us. I have so many questions to get to. But first, prosecutors, they basically used a recording from Kifidi and they played that. How can this impact him if he originally was promised that he was safe from law enforcement if he cooperated? Well, somebody dropped the ball because he had a deal with the federal government not to prosecute. So that's fine. And they haven't prosecuted him. He did not have a deal with the state prosecutors. So that's what happened. And that's their out of saying we didn't have a deal with you. We made no promises. This is a voluntary statement. So it was only on a federal level, not with the state of Nevada. Exactly. So they prosecuted. Understanding this case is 30 years old. Right. Because Tupac Shakur was shot and killed in the 90s, 30 years ago in Vegas. There's no statute of limitation on murder, but I would suspect that the person on trial thought they're not going to come after me. I'm free to do whatever I want to do at this point. Interesting. Okay. So a pretty well known name got brought up. Sean Diddy Combs. Okay. He's already in a lot of trouble. But they're saying Sean Diddy Combs ordered the hit. Can they prove that? And would this implicate Diddy who's already in a mess of trouble? They're going to need more than the one witness. And if they're going to try to use the current defendant to say, I was involved with Sean Diddy Combs, they're going to need more evidence. That's not enough because you can't get a convicted unaccomplished witness only. We have the alleged shooter though, who ran, who died years ago, right? The guy who's accused of actually pulling the trigger. So how difficult is it for the defense to kind of shift the blame onto someone who isn't actually alive to testify? Well, that's a problem, but the bigger problem for the defense is the book that the defendant wrote where he admitted to setting it up. Oh, okay. So that brings me to the book, as you mentioned. This was like a tell all book, basically saying, you know, this is how everything went down and it was Kifi Dee pretty much taking ownership of it. Right. How are you going to argue that? As a defense lawyer, it's a problem. I mean, if I was asked, should I write a book knowing that the statute of limitations never goes away in murder, I would tell my client, no, do not write a book. Don't tell that story. That's going to end up hurting you. And so they're going to use the book and they're basically going to shove it down his throat. And the lawyer's now defense is, well, he embellished because he's trying to sell books. Right. Make some money. He's probably out of money or something. No, that's what I said when I heard about this in the first place. It's pretty unbelievable. Definitely interesting. We appreciate your perspective. Thank you.
