After discovering that Keefe D, a suspect in the 1996 murder of rapper Tupac Shakur, had the necessary funds to be released on bond for house arrest, a judge denied the request. The suspect will remain in custody until his trial in November, according to KTNV Las Vegas.
Prosecutors requested a "source hearing" upon learning of Keefe D's release request. They wanted to determine how he was able to legally secure the bond. On June 25, Judge Carli Kierny held the hearing. During the hearing, Cash "Wack100" Jones, manager of artists like Ray J and The Game, was revealed as the benefactor who provided the bond money. Despite his testimony, Judge Kierny denied the request to place Keefe D on house arrest with electronic monitoring.
Judge Kierny stated that she was not convinced that Keefe D did not make arrangements to sell the rights to his story to Wack. In Nevada, convicted killers are not allowed to profit from their crimes. Wack appeared via an online link and informed the judge that he paid 15% of the bail amount, which comes out to $112,500. He claimed that it was a "gift" from his business accounts and that there was no financial agreement in place for the money he put up. However, prosecutors presented a recent video where Wack talked to DJ Vlad, saying that he would post bond for Keefe D to have the rights to do a television series about him.
In the interview, Wack said, "It's only $75,000. I've been thinking about going to get him with the stipulations that I'll do the series on it." After the revelation, Wack claimed that he only said that to help the interview gain more views. He explained, "That's what I said to Vlad, but Keefe D is already involved with somebody. I have no contracts with him. Before you go on Vlad, you have a discussion about what you're going to talk about and what needs to be said to draw up views. There's nothing about Vlad and nothing about YouTube that says that we're being truthful about what we're saying for entertainment."
Prosecutors also played an audio tape of a phone call between Wack and Keefe D, where they discussed the arrangement. Wack told Keefe D, "You got to remember, this s**t can set you up for the rest of your life. I will get you out, and then we'll sit down and talk about all that."
In the judge's ruling, he stated, "While Mr. Jones testified that he was bonding out Mr. Davis because Mr. Davis was fighting cancer and had been a pillar of the community, his previous interviews with VladTV suggested another motive." The former gang member has been in jail at the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas since his arrest on September 29. He has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder.
The news of Keefe D securing a $750,000 bond caused quite a stir, with many wondering how he was able to come up with the funds. Now, with the revelation that it was Wack who provided the money, the motives behind the bond have come into question. It remains to be seen what will happen with Keefe D's case and whether or not he will be released on bond.
