Arnold has argued that Davis published the book to make money, and that his claims when speaking to police are inconsistent.

“He himself is giving different stories,” Arnold said.

Following Tuesday’s hearing, Arnold said he would consider calling Knight as a witness in the case. Knight, who was driving the car Shakur was riding in when Shakur was shot, is serving a 28-year prison sentence in California for running over and killing a man in January 2015.

“There’s really no witnesses with credibility in this case,” Arnold said. “The only one I would trust would probably be Suge, just because he was there.”

Arnold also said he would not consider calling Combs as a witness in the case.

Prosecutors’ evidence includes a 2009 interview with Las Vegas police in which Davis claimed he obtained the gun used to kill Shakur from a drug dealer associated with Combs. According to transcripts of the interview, Davis tried to obtain money from the drug dealer after Shakur’s killing, but Davis said he did not receive any payment.

Arnold said he questioned the theory that “Keffe conspired with Sean to murder both Suge and Tupac,” and said the theory that the killing stemmed from an altercation at the MGM Grand is more likely.

“More of a spur of the moment, which makes more sense,” Arnold said.

Davis remains in jail on $750,000 bail.
