Keefe D, a murder suspect in the case of Tupac Shakur, is expected to regain his freedom in the coming days.
Despite facing a month of imprisonment and grappling with financial challenges to meet his $750,000 bail requirement, Keefe's attorney, Carl Arnold, asserts his unwavering certainty that the self-proclaimed gangsterwill successfully arrange the necessary funds for his bond within the upcoming days, ensuring his release.
Tupac 'Killer' Freedom Looms After Month-Long Bail Struggle
Four weeks have passed since Judge Carli Kierney granted bail to Keefe D, whose real name is Duane Davis, the former Compton Crip who is currently being held in the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas.
In many cases, bail bond agents typically agree to accept a payment of 10% of the bail fees from the plaintiffs to cover the required amount for the court.
Nevertheless, for individuals involved in high-profile or possibly untrustworthy situations, the requested percentage might experience an upward adjustment.
According to his lawyer who spoke to The Sun, "[Keefe D] is still in and we are still working on it as we speak."
Expressing unwavering certainty, the lawyer confidently stated his ability to acquire the bond and secure the release of his client from incarceration.
In an upcoming hearing at the Las Vegas District Court on February 20, Keefe - also spelled Keffe - finds himself under the judge's scrutiny regarding the origin of the bail money and its legitimacy.
It has reportedly been disclosed that Keefe D's admission to law enforcement about his involvement in guiding gangsters to assassinate Tupac will not suffice to secure a murder conviction against him.

Tupac Shakur Suspect's Impending Freedom
In the face of Keefe D's two-and-a-half-hour recorded confession, he staunchly argues that it holds no merit as evidence in the prosecution's case.
The legal expert remains steadfast in his conviction that the law favors his client, despite Keefe D's numerous interviews where he openly admits to playing a significant role in the notorious crime of 1996 where Tupac Shakur was shot and murdered.
If the recorded admission of the former gang lord results in a conviction in the District Court of Las Vegas, the lawyer claimed that it would provide solid grounds for an immediate appeal at higher levels.
He added, "The law is clear - you cannot be convicted based on a confession."
"To prevent injustice happening, to prevent these wrong types of grandiose statements being accepted, you have to have corroborating evidence."
"Without it, the confession by itself is never sufficient or enough to meet the standard of beyond a reasonable doubt."
"You could attempt to prosecute me, but, just because I said it is not enough to convict, it simply isn't."
The prosecutors have presented Keefe D's recorded admission from 2008 as crucial evidence in their case.
This confession was given under a special agreement called a "proffer," which granted Keefe D immunity for his statements.
Amid a high-stakes legal battle, Keefe D found solace in the protective embrace of a proffer deal. However, unbeknownst to him, this agreement would eventually come back to haunt him.
Prosecutors seized the opportunity when Keefe candidly admitted to fabricating his statements to law enforcement.
