Jury selection begins in the Tupac Shakur murder trial.

Nearly 30 years after Tupac was fatally shot in Las Vegas, Duane “Keffe D” Davis is the only person ever charged in connection with his death. Davis has entered a not guilty plea and denies all charges.

Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty is joined by Fame Under Fire’s resident trial attorney Shaun Kent to explain how lawyers try to find 12 fair and impartial people for one of America’s most high-profile cold cases.

Anoushka will be in Las Vegas as the trial gets underway, bringing daily updates from court, the testimony, arguments, key moments and legal analysis.
