Jurors will hear closing arguments in the trial of Duane “Keffe D” Davis, who is accused of orchestrating the killing of rapper Tupac Shakur. They come after nine days of testimony from detectives, former gang associates and documentarians. The trial has revisited the night nearly 30 years ago when Shakur was shot while on his way to perform at a club in Las Vegas. Davis is the only person ever charged in Shakur’s 1996 death after he previously said he was in the Cadillac when it pulled up beside Shakur and gunfire erupted. Prosecutors argue Davis orchestrated the shooting, but his attorney argues there is no physical evidence connecting his client to the crime.

Jurors in the Lindsay Clancy trial have resumed deliberating whether to hold the Massachusetts woman criminally responsible for killing her three children in 2023. The 12 jurors and six alternates returned to Plymouth County Superior Court on Monday morning for a third day of deliberations that began Thursday. Clancy, a former nurse, doesn’t deny strangling her children but claims postpartum psychosis led to her actions. Prosecutors argue she knew what she was doing. The jury could find her guilty of murder or manslaughter, or acquit her if they believe psychiatric problems were to blame. Her sentence could range from life in prison to confinement in a mental health facility.

Jurors in the Lindsay Clancy murder case must decide whether the former labor and delivery nurse is criminally responsible for killing her three children at her Massachusetts home in 2023. Both sides agree she killed her children. Clancy’s attorneys argue she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and that poor medical care exacerbated her condition. Prosecutors argue she intentionally planned the killings because she wanted to take her own life and killed her children because they “were keeping her from ending her misery.” Deliberations began Thursday, but jurors had not reached a verdict by the end of the day Friday. They will return to deliberate on Monday.

The prosecution has resumed questioning its final witness in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial. The testimony was happening Wednesday for Clancy's trial on charges she killed her three young children in Massachusetts in 2023. FBI psychiatrist Dr. Gregory Saathoff has testified that he does not believe Clancy’s account that a voice ordered her to kill the children. The defense does not dispute that Clancy killed them but argues she should not be held criminally responsible because she was suffering from postpartum psychosis. Saathoff will be cross-examined by Clancy’s attorney after prosecutors finish questioning him. Closing arguments will follow.

A former Compton gang detective testifies that Duane “Keffe D” Davis was a high-ranking “shot caller” in the South Side Compton Crips. Prosecutors allege Davis orchestrated Tupac Shakur's shooting nearly 30 years ago in retaliation for a casino brawl involving Davis’ nephew. They have not accused Davis of firing the shots but claim he provided the gun. Davis has admitted in past interviews to being in the car during the shooting. Defense attorney Michael Sanft emphasizes the lack of physical evidence. Prosecutors argue Davis’ own words are central to their case.

A man who killed eight of his relatives, including four children, as they gathered for Sunday dinner at a home in Montana had been asked to move out of the residence weeks earlier. That's according to Brad Ireland, whose former wife and two children were among the victims. The victims spanned four generations of the blended family. Police said they responded to the home Sunday evening and heard gunshots coming from out back, just before the house was completely engulfed in flames. They confirmed nine people had died, including a suspect with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
