Thirty years after Tupac Shakur was shot and killed on the Las Vegas Strip, the trial of the man accused of orchestrating his murder is finally underway. Duane "Keffe D" Davis essentially talked himself into a Las Vegas courtroom, and now prosecutors are using his own memoir against him. Pete Christiansen, founding partner and lead trial attorney at Christiansen Trial Lawyers helps us dig into the key elements of the case, what the opening statements revealed, and where the trial goes from here.
