Wack 100 Responds To Judge Refusing Duane “Keefe D” Davis’ Release After He Posts Bail
Wack 100 has spoken out regarding a judge blocking Duane “Keefe D” Davis from being released from custody, despite Wack posting his bail. In conversation with VladTV, Wack, legal name Cash Jones, explained his thoughts on the decision. Davis is currently behind bars awaiting trial for the murder of Tupac Shakur.
“When they called me they said ‘Hey, high profile case. They want you to go to a bail review hearing.'” Jones explained of the process. “I said okay, what’s it about because I sent you all of my stuff. ID, notarized, property information, everything. He said they just want to make sure it’s you sending these things in…They want you to go on record saying you are in fact the one doing these things.”
He continued, “Maybe the night before I get a call, [explaining] the attorney is saying you can’t discuss if you want to do business with Keefe D. and I’m like why? They’re like ‘Well just don’t discuss it.’ And I’m like ‘There haven’t been any contracts as of yet but its conversations on what I may want to do.'”
“When it comes up I was truthful with them. No, it’s not a contract as of yet. But yeah. Im definitely having conversations about doing some business. Why wouldn’t I? It took the judge three or four days to say ‘Alright I’m not gon’ let him out,'” shared Jones.
He went on to explain how “Son Of Sam” laws may have factored into the decision. According to the Freedom Forum, the legislation in several states prevents convicted criminals from “earning money from telling the stories of their crimes, such as through book and movie deals.” The Supreme Court ruled these laws can sometimes violate the First Amendment.
“You can’t because it’s not against the law for him to do business with somebody,” added Jones. “Even if he doesn’t. Let’s say they block his bail right? I can just say okay apply the funding I sent for the bail toward your legal. And I can still do a deal with him. I don’t want to do a sit-down interview with Keefe D…I don’t need Keefe D on the streets to do what I want to do. Because what I want to involves and entails actors, his book, and it going to script form for the TV series, if I did anything at all.”
Last month in Clark County District Court, the prosecution argued the music executive intended to get the alleged murderer released to feature Davis in a series of video interviews, showing a Vlad TV interview where Jones alluded to a similar plan.
Davis is charged with murder with use of a deadly weapon with the intent to promote, further, or assist a criminal street gang, pleading not guilty. He has made his own plea for release citing physical health issues impacted by the living conditions in jail.
“I got cancer. I [have] been in jail eating processed food. I had colon cancer…” explained Davis. “They serve all this processed food, they don’t serve no fruit, it’s terrible. Fake potatoes. Fake milk. Fake everything. It ain’t good for an ex-cancer patient. I got it again.”
