**Davis's own public admissions in his memoir and a 2008 police interview form the core of the prosecution's case against him for orchestrating Tupac Shakur's 1996 drive-by murder, fueling the 65% market-implied odds on conviction.** The ongoing Las Vegas trial, which opened with jury selection on August 10 and statements shortly after, centers on Davis supplying the weapon amid 1990s Crips-Mob Piru and East-West rap rivalries, with prosecutors highlighting his self-described role as the "on-site commander." A judge's July ruling admitted key recordings and the book as evidence, strengthening the state's position despite Davis pleading not guilty and the defense arguing the statements were profit-driven fabrications. With testimony underway and the case expected to run four to six weeks, traders see a moderate edge for conviction based on this self-incriminating material, tempered by the lack of direct eyewitness proof and historical unsolved status of the case.
