  Speaker 1: motion for a new trial. This is the judge who
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: took over after Judge John Wrote was officially recused earlier
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: this week. Carmelo's appellate team, led by Russell Wilson, spent
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: the day walking through what they call errors in the
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: original trial and laying out just how much evidence was
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: sealed off from the jury. Defense attorney Wilson said Judge
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Roach ran what he called quote a shadow docket, filing's

  Speaker 1: that Wilson says was closed to the public in violation
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: of the Supreme Courts Waller versus Georgia decision. But the

  Speaker 1: biggest moment of the day was when former trial attorney
• 1:57

  Speaker 1: document that had never before been made public. Fifty three
• 2:04

• 2:19
  Speaker 1: KKK kill All Black People, hil Hitler, and multiple uses
• 2:24

  Speaker 1: the day he died, telling another student to quote kill
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: that MF in reference to a Hispanic student sitting behind
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: him at the meet. Videos from Austin Metcalf's phone allegedly

  Speaker 1: allegedly threatened cheerleaders, calling one quote fat bee and saying

  Speaker 1: his hands were quote by sexual, meaning it would hit
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: girls too. The document also says both twins were suspended
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: repeatedly for verbal abuse of teachers and other students. Now
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: none of this was ever shown to the jury. Now
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the prosecutor's side, first Assistant District Attorney Bill Wirsky said
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: he was the one who offered the agreement to keep
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: this evidence out. Worsky said this quote, I offered the agreement,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: let's stay away from historical character and stick to the
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: facts what happened under the tent. He said his goal
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: was to quote keep the peace and prevent the trial
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: from becoming a national bonfire. Worsky also revealed evidence against
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Carmelo that was kept out too, a text message reportedly
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: sent by Carmelo the morning of the stabbing that read quote,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I'm low key on the verb pages of Apple notes
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: on his phone that allegedly discussed violence, a message that
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: read quote, I'm usa stab someone and lick the blood
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: off the blade, and a photo of Carmelo holding a gun.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Worsky admitted he wanted Carmelo to testify and said, quot quote,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: There's nothing better in my business than a testifying defendant.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Mike Howard testified that Carmelo only had about ten minutes
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: to decide whether to take the stand after the agreement
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: broke down. He said, quote one hour, two hours would
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: not have been enough time. It was not enough time
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: at all. Court resumes today and we're back inside Tupac's
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: murder trial in Las Vegas, and jurors have now heard
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Duwayne Keeped Davis, in his own words, describe his alleged
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: role in Tupac's killing. The recording is from twenty eight,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: twelve years after Tupac was shot. And here's why Davis
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: is talking to investigators in the first place. At the time,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: police were investigating the murder of the notorious Big Davis
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: sat down with an investigator under the agreement that was
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: supposed to give him some protection for what he told them,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: But during that interview, the conversation turned to Tupac, and
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Davis told investigators he was inside a white Cadillac involved
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: in the shooting and that he handed the gun to
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: the back seat. Let's listen when he said, we.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: Didn't have anything to do with that one, did that
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: trigger anything in your mind as to what he was saying?
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Whatever? Call yes, like that one? What do you mean?
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: And then well, we did the other one?
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: He said, we did the other one. And so at
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: that point, what did you think he was talking.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Me personally? The only other one was Tupac. But we
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: had nothing. We didn't think he was. We were talking
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: about Christopher Wallace. We didn't ask him any questions about Tupac.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: He offered that on his own.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: And so when he does that, is there some discussion.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Then of.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: Maybe having a conversation about Tupac.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: It was a surprise to us. Number one, we were shipped.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Mister Davis stated that his nephew, mister Orlando Anderson, was
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: jumped and beat up in the club or in a
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: hotel in Las Vegas. After the Tyson fight, he came
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: and told mister Davis what happened. They went looking for
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Tupac should anybody who was involved basically in the beat
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: down of mister Anderson, and couldn't find him at first,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: and then they saw him, and basically mister Davis had
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: the gun at first, but they came up on the
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: passenger side of should Knight and Missus Shakuri's vehicle, so
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: he couldn't shoot across the driver.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Now, Davis did not say he pulled the trigger. He
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: told investigators his nephew, Orlando Baby Lane Anderson fired the shots.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Prosecutors say all of this started earlier, when Tupac and
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: members of him his group beat Anderson inside the MGM
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: hotel Grant. Their argument is that what happened next was retaliation.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Davis told investigators that he Anderson and two other men
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: later went looking for Tupac and shook Night. When they
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: found him, Davis said he passed the gun to the
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: back seat and Anderson opened fire. Tupac was shot four
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: times and died six days later. He was twenty five
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: years old. Now here's the problem. Prosecutors are trying to overcome.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Davis has told different versions of this story over the years.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: In an earlier interview with investigators in nineteen ninety eight,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: he denied knowing who killed Tupac, and today his own
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: defense is essentially telling jurors you can't trust everything. Keifd
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: has said. His attorneys argue Davis exaggerated or made up
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: stories about Tupac's murder for attention and money, including books
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: and interviews, So that is becoming one of the biggest
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: questions of this trial. When Keefd talked about Tupac's murder
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: over the years, was he confessing or was he telling stories?
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Prosecutors say his own words help prove their case. The
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: defense says his own words cannot be trusted. Davis has
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: pled not guilty. And lastly, an update out of Philadelphia.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Please say they now know who is behind that creepy
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: mass chasing people near city Hall. Please have identified the
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: suspect as twenty two year old Zaimir Hughes and there's
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: now a warrant out for his arrest.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: You think it's funny to scare people, well, get ready
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: to get scared by us, because we got the handcuffs,
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: we got the jail cell, we got the Philly jury.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: That's going to tell you it's not funny at all.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: You think it's funny to make people run, get your sneaks,
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: because that's what Hughes is doing right now. Mister big
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: and Bad is on the run. We're not having it
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: in this city. We are not tolerating it.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Latter say Hughes approached as many as fifteen or sixteen
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: people while wearing the mask, holding up a cell phone,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: apparently recording the encounters. One woman told police Hughes chased
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: her and asked, are you ready to die? She seriously
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: injured her leg trying to get away. Police believe Hughes
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: may have already left Pennsylvania and says he has ties
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: to California and Nevada. The US Marshalls are now helping
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: find him. That's your front page.
