This Case Brief highlights a legal charging conference where the judge and attorneys debate and establish over 50 jury instructions. The proceedings focus on crucial, fact-based instructions including the voluntariness of the defendant's statement, corpus delicti and its relation to confession corroboration, and the law of self-defense. While the defense successfully fights for a voluntariness instruction, the corpus delicti debate culminates in a modified instruction clarifying that a defendant's confession—if believed—does not require further corroboration as long as independent evidence proves the victim's death was caused by a criminal act. Ultimately, the judge plans to pre-read these instructions to the jury before closing arguments begin on Monday.

On day 9 of the first-degree murder trial of Duane "Keffe D" Davis for the death of Tupac Shakur, the defense case concluded after presenting three witnesses. The defense's final witness, Dan Long, a former Las Vegas homicide investigator who interviewed Davis in 2009, detailed past efforts to secure an arrest warrant that was ultimately stalled by the district attorney's office. Following cross-examination, the defense rested, the prosecution declined to present rebuttal witnesses, and the jury was dismissed until Monday, when closing arguments are scheduled to begin.
