Keffe D Convicted of Tupac Shakur's 1996 Murder
A Las Vegas jury found Duane 'Keffe D' Davis, 63, guilty of first-degree murder for orchestrating the drive-by shooting that killed rapper Tupac Shakur in September 1996. Prosecutors built much of their case on Davis's own public statements, made during years of interviews and a memoir in which he described his role in the attack. The conviction closes a case that went unsolved for nearly three decades.
"Davis's own interview tour, in which he discussed his role in the shooting, became central evidence against him at trial."

Supreme Court allows White House ballroom work to continue
The Supreme Court has kept in place a stay allowing construction of a ballroom in the White House East Wing to proceed while litigation continues. The court did not rule on whether the project is legal, finding only that the National Trust for Historic Preservation likely lacks standing to challenge it in federal court. The Trust had argued the demolition and construction required congressional approval under historic preservation law.
"We do not pass upon the legality of the government's East Wing project — we conclude only that the government is likely to prevail in showing that the Trust lacks Article III standing."
