L’avocat qui défendait le meurtrier de Tupac Shakur retrouvé mort
The body of 55-year-old Michael Sanft was found Saturday morning at his home in Las Vegas. The cause of death is still undetermined.
Michael Sanft, 55, had risen to prominence in recent weeks during the high-profile trial of Duane "Keffe D" Davis. He defended the former member of the South Side Compton Crips, a gang from a tough Los Angeles neighborhood, who was accused, 30 years after the fact, of having ordered the murder of rap legend Tupac Shakur. His client was sentenced on October 13 to life imprisonment with no possibility of parole for 40 years.
Even before the sentence was handed down, Michael Sanft had announced his client's decision to appeal. He was defending him pro bono, believing the case was riddled with inconsistencies and that the only evidence rested on his client's confession in his memoirs.
He was found dead at his Las Vegas home Friday morning. The cause of death is still undetermined, but it does not appear to be suspicious, according to local police.
