The trial for the shooting death of Tupac Shakur has been pushed back by almost a year following a request from the defence team.

Keefe D will still stand trial in April of this year, though, based on a separate incident which occurred last year while he was incarcerated.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A Nevada judge on Tuesday postponed the murder trial of the only suspect ever charged in the 1996 killing of rap icon Tupac Shakur for nearly a year, saying she had little choice given new developments presented by his defense attorneys and the need to ensure a fair trial.
