Years ago, the detectives of Vegas Davis wanted to accuse the murder of Tupac, but held it when prosecutors feared that the case would be thrown away because of an agreement that Davis had made with a Federal Task Force in Los Angeles in 2008.
The former drug Lord has reportedly admitted that he had some involvement in the murder of Tupac, which he made as part of a 'provider agreement', which protected him against continued for what he said.
The following year he spoke with the police of Vegas, who, according to ABC News, did not have to honor the agreement.
Davis's lawyers tried to argue this in his new case, but it was rejected.
“I can't even be in prison,” he said ABC News. “A deal is a deal.”
He also points to Reggie Wright Jr., a former police officer who at the time had the security for Knight's Death Row records.
“Their best witness is the main suspect, Reggie Wright Jr.,” he told the outlet. Wright testified to a large jury to accuse Davis.
Davis is the only one who was still alive in the car from which shots were fired.
Davis did not owe murder at the first degree in November and was imprisoned in the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas. If convicted, he could spend the rest of his life in prison.
