Judge Carli Kierny believes hip-hop manager Wack100 provided the funds to obtain the rights to Keefe D’s story.
After learning that Keefe D, suspected of involvement in the 1996 killing of rapper Tupac Shakur, had the necessary funds to post a $750,000 bond for house arrest, a judge denied the request, ruling that the suspect will remain in custody until his trial in November.
According to KTNV Las Vegas, when notified of Keefe D’s release request, prosecutors requested a “source hearing” to determine how he was able to secure the bond legally. Judge Carli Kierny held the hearing on June 25. Cash “Wack100” Jones, manager of artists such as Ray J and The Game, was revealed as the benefactor who provided the bond money. Despite his testimony, Judge Kierny denied the request to place Keefe D on house arrest with electronic monitoring.
Kierny stated she wasn’t convinced that Keffe D did not make arrangements to sell the rights to his story to Wack. In Nevada, convicted killers are not allowed to profit from the crimes they commit.
