Keefe D will have to wait a while to find out whether he will be able to post bail after being charged with 2Pac’s murder.
According to the Associated Press, Clark County District Court Judge Carli Kierny decided during a hearing on Tuesday (June 25) that she would delay the decision on whether to grant Keefe’s $750,000 bail. The accused killer said late last week that he “d mustered resources to pay.”
“I really don’t understand where the money came from,” Judge Kilney said. She announced that a decision on whether the suspect would be released pending trial would be made after reviewing financial records.
One of the issues was the involvement of controversial manager Cash “Wack 100” Jones, who claimed on Instagram on Sunday (June 23) that he had “finalized” Keefe D’s bond.
Jones reportedly paid more than $100,000 to hire a New Jersey insurance company to cover the remainder of the bond. During the hearing, Jones claimed his contribution was a “gift.”
Prosecutors had a different explanation, saying the manager paid just to get an interview with the alleged killer.
“I… do not find that the defense has undertaken… to prove that bail is [Keefe] What is ultimately being discussed is Mr. Shakur’s murder and any evidence to the contrary is not credible,” the judge said.
Jones did acknowledge wanting to interview Keefe but said he planned to do so after the suspect’s trial, which is scheduled to begin in November.
Judge Kilney has not yet set a timetable for a bail decision.
Keefe’s attorneys filed a request for house arrest back in January.
At the time, they claimed their client “posed no risk” due to his poor health.
They also said he would not flee before trial.
Their client had previously made a request for leniency late last year, but the request was rejected after Keefe was deemed “too dangerous” to be released on bail.
According to documents obtained by TMZ in December 2023, the state of Nevada denied Keefe’s request to be released on his own recognizance.
