He was a 60-year-old retired cancer survivor with adult children and grandchildren and had been living with his wife in Henderson, a city outside of Las Vegas, for nine years at the time the warrant was executed.
“The court wasn’t told any of this,” his attorneys wrote in the motion.
“As a result, the court authorised a nighttime search based on a portrait of Davis that bore little resemblance to reality — a clearly erroneous factual determination, in other words.”
His attorneys claim Davis’ arrest stems from false public statements Davis had made in which he claimed to be present in the white Cadillac from which Shakur was shot.
They say he has never offered details that would firmly corroborate his presence in the car, and that he benefited from saying he was present.
He dodged drug charges by telling the story in a proffer agreement, and he has made money by repeating it in documentaries and his 2019 book, according to his attorneys.
“Think of it this way: Shakur’s murder was essentially the entertainment world’s JFK assassination — endlessly dissected, mythologised, monetised”
“So it’s not hard to see why someone in Davis’s position might falsely place himself at the centre of it all for personal gain,” his attorneys wrote.
