An ex-gang leader is seeking to have all charges against him dismissed in the 1990s killing of rap music icon Tupac Shakur. Attorney Carl Arnold filed a motion in the District Court of Nevada to dismiss charges against Duane Davis in the 1996 shooting of Shakur. The motion alleges constitutional violations due to a 27-year delay in prosecution and a lack of corroborating evidence.
The motion also claims that immunity agreements granted to Davis by federal and local authorities were not honored. Arnold stated that the prosecution's failure to justify the decades-long delay has irreversibly prejudiced his client and raised serious questions about the integrity of the criminal justice system.
