His attorney, Carl Arnold, has argued that he should never have been charged due to immunity agreements Davis claims he reached with federal and local prosecutors years ago, while living in California.But prosecutors say they have strong evidence against Davis, who now lives in Nevada, and any immunity agreement was limited.
The trial of the only suspect ever to be charged with the murder of rapper Tupac Shakur, almost 30 years after his death, has been postponed for almost a year.
During a short hearing in Las Vegas on Tuesday, Clark County District Court Judge Carli Kierny said she had little choice but to reschedule given new developments presented by Duane "Keffe D" Davis' lawyers.
Shakur, who was 25 when he died, is regarded as one of the most influential rappers of all time, known for hits including Dear Mama, Keep Ya Head Up, California Love, I Ain't Mad At Cha, and Changes.
Davis, a former Los Angeles gang leader, agreed when asked by the judge if he was okay with moving the trial by such a long time.
