The jury heard a recording in it. Duane Keffe D. Davis described the night Tupac Shakur was shot. He blamed his nephew, Orlando Babylain Anderson, as the gunman. He described providing the weapon. He even discussed Sean Puffy Combs and money. He explained how Combs allegedly wanted Suge Knight taken care of. He talked about the brawl at the MGM Grand and the retaliation that followed. Then near the end of the recording, the interviewer, Mario Diaz, the executive producer of Death Row Chronicles, asked Davis a question. You want to apologize to Tupac's family?
Davis said, No, I didn't do nothing, he told Diaz. I didn't do nothing to his family. That whole, you know, providing the gun to your nephew and rolling up alongside Tupac and saying, you know, do your business. That's nothing, right, Keffe?
That's the moment that's mattered the most from day six of the Tupac murder trial, not because it's a confession. The jury has already heard those. It matters because of what it does to the defense's own theory.

Day six opened with defense attorney Michael Snaft arguing that the recording the jury heard Friday from the 2017 production of Death Row Chronicles contained references to other crimes and should not have been played. The judge issued limiting instructions and allowed the recording to stand. That fight right there? No. That tells you a lot.
Tells you where the defense is. Snaft has built his case on one argument. Everything Davis ever said about the Tupac shooting was fiction, invented to make a little bit of money. Davis has said in jail that he admitted to involvement in the killing to make money for his family. His defense team has argued that prosecutors are leaning on decades-old statements instead of actual physical evidence. The problem is the volume of those statements and the chain they created. Davis first told the story in 2008 while he was facing a potential life sentence on federal drug charges. Investigators from a joint LAPD and Las Vegas Metro Task Force brought him in under a proffer agreement. The proffer works like this. The suspect sits in his attorney's office with investigators and agrees to tell them what he knows. In exchange, investigators agree not to use what he says directly against him. Former LAPD detective Greg Kating told Davis on the recording played earlier in the trial, nothing you say can be used against you. Davis sat in that room in Los Angeles County and talked for hours. He described providing the gun. He told detectives he was in the front passenger seat of the white Cadillac that Anderson fired from the back. He said he would have pulled the trigger himself of Tupac had been on his side of the car. He told the story again to Las Vegas Metro Detectives in 2009 He told it to a BET documentary crew in 2017 He published a book in 2019 In between details from the proffer leaked into Cading's 2011 book Murder Rap, you're later in the documentaries, prosecutors have argued that Davis' decision to go public stripped away the protections of the original proffer. The judge agreed, ruling both the book and the proffer interviews admissible. Every time the prosecution plays another version, the fiction defense gets a little thinner. Snaft is not trying to keep out a single damaging statement, he's trying to slow the flood basically. The prosecution's witness for day six was a filmmaker named Michael Dorsey. Dorsey directed the 2015 documentary Murder Rap and later worked as a consultant on Death Row Chronicles. He spent years researching the Tupac and Biggie cases, access to thousands of investigative reports, roughly 100 hours of audio, photographs and case files. Dorsey started following the case around 2012, spent over two years making the Murder Rap film and helped write the questions that Diaz used to interview Davis on camera for Death Row Chronicles. During cross-examination, Snaft established that Dorsey is not a detective and did not interview Las Vegas Metro detectives during his initial documentary research, even though Las Vegas had jurisdiction over the Tupac case. During the 2017 interview, Dorsey was in the room, not as the interviewer, but as a consultant. While Diaz ran the session, Dorsey hit record on his own phone. His recording captured audio before the official production recorder had restarted, making his version potentially broader than the actual professional one.
