O que mudou

• 40 years to life: that is the punishment now attached to Duane “Keffe D” Davis’s conviction for arranging Tupac Shakur’s murder. Judge Carli Kierny imposed the sentence in Clark County, Nevada, on Tuesday, October 13, 2026. Davis, 63, received credit for time already served. The sentence is not a fixed 40-year term with release guaranteed at its end.
