LAS VEGAS (AP) 鈥� A judge on Tuesday again rejected a request to free an ailing former Los Angeles-area gang leader accused in the 1996 killing of hip-hop star Tupac Shakur, saying she suspects a cover-up related to the sources of the funds for his bond.
The decision from Clark District Court Judge Carli Kierny came after an attorney for Duane 鈥淜effe D鈥� Davis said he would provide additional financial records to prove that Davis and the music record executive offering to underwrite his $750,000 bail from the sale of Davis鈥� life story and that the money was legally obtained.
鈥淚 have a sense that things are trying to be covered up,鈥� Kierny said, saying she was left with more questions than answers after receiving two identical letters apparently from the entertainment company that music record executive Cash 鈥淲ack 100鈥� Jones says wired him the funds.
Kierny said one of the letters was signed with a name that does not have any ties to the company.
