Overview

• A Nevada district court judge in July upheld Davis’s charges, finding he failed to substantiate promises of immunity and that the 27-year delay was not intentional.
• His appeal asserts that statements he gave during 1998–1999 and 2008–2009 interviews were secured under assurances they would not be used to prosecute him.
• Prosecutors have built their case on Davis’s own admissions in interviews and his 2019 memoir, in which he says he provided the gun used in the 1996 shooting.
• No physical weapon has been recovered and the deaths of other alleged co-conspirators have left Davis’s statements as the primary evidence linking him to the crime.
• Davis remains in custody at the Clark County Detention Center and is scheduled to stand trial in early February 2026.
