Ex-gang leader's account of Tupac Shakur killing is fiction, defense lawyer in Vegas says

  • By KEN RITTER - Associated Press

The defense attorney representing a former Los Angeles-area gang leader accused of killing music legend Tupac Shakur in 1996 in Las Vegas says his client’s accounts of the killing are fiction. Attorney Carl Arnold told reporters outside a courtroom on Tuesday that his client, Duane “Keffe D” Davis, wanted to make money with his story. Arnold says Davis embellished or outright lied about his involvement in the car-to-car shooting and that prosecutors lack key evidence to obtain a murder conviction. Prosecutors say evidence against Davis is strong and a jury will decide the case. Davis is now 60. He's jailed on $750,000 bail pending trial in November.

Man who won primary election while charged with murder convicted on lesser charge

  • AP

A central Indiana man who won a primary election for a township board position while charged with killing his estranged wife has been found guilty of the lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter. A Boone County jury convicted Andrew Wilhoite, 41, of Lebanon on Thursday. He was charged with murder in the death of his wife, 41-year-old Elizabeth “Nikki” Wilhoite, who was reported missing by coworkers on March 25, 2022, when she did not show up for work. Her body was found in a creek near her home the next day. Wilhoite was one of three Republican candidates who advanced in a 2022 primary for a township board position before later withdrawing from the race.

Man granted parole for his role in the 2001 stabbing deaths of 2 Dartmouth College professors

  • By KATHY McCORMACK - Associated Press

A man who’s served more than half of his life in prison for his role in the 2001 stabbing deaths of two married Dartmouth College professors as part of a plan to rob and kill people before fleeing overseas has been granted parole. James Parker was 16 when he was part of a conspiracy with his best friend that resulted in the deaths of Half and Susanne Zantop in Hanover, New Hampshire. Now nearly 40, he appeared before the state parole board on Thursday, years after pleading guilty to being an accomplice to second-degree murder and serving nearly the minimum term of his 25-years-to-life sentence. His lawyer says he’s taken many steps to rehabilitate himself.

  • AP

Bryan Kohberger, the man charged in the deaths of four University of Idaho students in late 2022, was out for a drive the night they were killed. That's what his attorneys say in a new court filing that lays out more details of the alibi defense he intends to use at his trial. Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves were stabbed to death at a rental home near the university campus in Moscow, Idaho, early on Nov. 13, 2022. Kohberger was then a criminal justice student at Washington State University in nearby Pullman, Washington. He has been charged with four counts of murder.
