THE FUSE

Michael Sanft, the defense attorney who represented Duane “Keffe D” Davis in his trial for the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur, told NBC News his client intends to appeal the conviction. “Even before the first set of jurors came in for jury selection, we knew it was going to be an appeal issue,” Sanft said. Davis was convicted Monday of first-degree murder with use of a deadly weapon. He will be sentenced, possibly for life in prison, on Oct. 13.
