An attorney for Duane Davis wants to block his client’s tell-all book and police interviews from being used in the trial for the murder of Tupac Shakur.

Clark County court records show Michael Sanft filed a motion last week to suppress the co-authored memoir “Compton Street Legend” and Davis’ own statements to police over the years.

Authorities have charged Davis, also known as Keffe D, with the 1996 murder of Shakur in Las Vegas. Police and prosecutors cited Davis’ statements and memoir as evidence supporting the allegation that Davis ordered the fatal shooting of the rap icon.

In his motion, Sanft says that a detective’s interview with the book’s co-author, Yusuf Jah, “reveals that not all of the statements in Compton Street Legend can be attributed to admissions made directly by Defendant.”

Davis “was less open to talk about the murder of Tupac and restated information that was already out in public space,” according to the motion, and statements cannot be directly attributed to Davis.

Sanft also argues that 2008 and 2009 interviews that Davis gave to police detectives “were the result of inducements, promises and psychological pressure, which tricked Defendant into confessing if these promises are no longer honored.”

The defense attorney filed a separate motion seeking to sequester the jury during Davis’ trial, citing the high-profile nature of the case and the potential for jurors to be exposed to news coverage or social media commentary.

“The past and ongoing media coverage of this case poses a substantial risk to the fairness of this trial,” Sanft wrote. “During trial, jurors who are not sequestered will return each evening to every form of media covering the day’s testimony, commentary by legal analysts, and public opinion regarding Defendant’s guilt or innocence.”

Prosecutors filed their own motion as well, seeking to admit Davis’ gang affiliation to establish a motive. Authorities have said Davis was a “shot caller” for the South Side Compton Crips in the 1990s, and he gave the order to shoot at Shakur’s car in retaliation for a fight on the casino floor of the MGM Grand.

According to the motion, the shooting allegedly stemmed from a gang feud between the South Side Compton Crips and Death Row Records. Death Row’s head, Marion “Suge” Knight, was in Shakur’s car the night of the shooting.

“Every critical event in this case is rooted in gang affiliation, hierarchy, and culture,” the prosecution’s motion states. “The rivalry was a gang rivalry.”

Judge Carli Kierny is scheduled to hear arguments in all of the motions on Tuesday, June 30. Trial is scheduled to begin on Aug. 10. S: 3 Vegas
