00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,440

31
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,640

Speaker 2: He was first arrested for a gross vehicular manslaughter, released,

33

Speaker 2: a meth dealer by her mother, and these details are

47
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 2: rather disturbing. Ashley Roland, aged thirty nine, and her boyfriend

48
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 2: Joshua Denton, forty, are in jail on child abuse charges

49

Speaker 2: Roland first told police she gave London to a man

52
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 2: named Carlos in a parking lot, claiming he might be

53
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 2: the child's She later admitted Carlos was a meth dealer

54
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 2: and that her story about him taking London to Mexico

55
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 2: was false. Oklahoma City police say interviews with the couple's

56
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: other children uncovered graphic abuse claims. Rowland's teenage son told

57
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,119
Speaker 2: detectives that Denton hit London with a wooden paddle engraved

58
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 2: with the words the last Resort, and also shot her

59
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 2: with a BB gun. He said Denton once duct taped

60
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 2: him to a chair, beat him with a belt, and

61
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 2: threatened to kill him if he spoke. Denton's two younger

62
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 2: children told investigators they saw him poor hot sauce in

63
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 2: London's eyes more than once, forced her to bite into

64
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 2: a hot pepper and lock her in a closet. An

65
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 2: eight year old girl accused Denton of raping her. Police

66
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 2: searched a storage unit tied to the couple and found

67
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 2: a BB gun, diapers, a pink baby blanket, a car seat,

68
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 2: and the Last Resort. One child said the last time

69
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 2: he saw London, Rowland told him to say goodbye before

70
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 2: driving away with her. He never saw her again. Rowland

71
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 2: discharged with enabling child abuse and engaging in a pattern

72
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 2: of criminal offenses. Denton fail six counts of child abuse,

73
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 2: forcible sodomy, lute acts with a child, and the same

74
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 2: pattern of offenses charge. They remain in the Cleveland County

75
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 2: Jail without bond. London would be turning six next month.

76
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,000

77
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 2: should contact the Oklahoma City Police Department Homicide tip Line

78
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,479

79
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 2: only man charged in Tupac Shakur's killing changes his legal

80
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 2: team as the trial date nears. Dwayne Keefe d Davis

81
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 2: has hired Robert Draskovich and Michael Pandulo to defend him

82
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 2: in the nineteen ninety six murder case. They take over

83
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 2: from Carl Arnold, who was let go last week. The

84
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 2: new attorneys spoke to reporters in Las Vegas on Tuesday.

85
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 2: They said they are still reviewing the case but planned

86
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: a file motions in the coming weeks. They expect to

87
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 2: be ready for the trial set for February ninth of

88
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. Davis, age sixty two, was arrested in

89
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 2: September of twenty twenty three and pleaded not guilty to

90
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 2: first degree murder. Prosecutors accuse him of arranging the ambush

91
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 2: that killed Tupac near the Loss Vegas Strip. He remains

92
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 2: held without bail. In January, a judge rejected his claim

93
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 2: that old immunity agreements should shield him from prosecution, saying

94
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 2: there was no proof such deals ever existed. In March,

95
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 2: Davis told ABC News quote, I'm innocent. I ain't killed nobody,

96
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 2: never did ever kill nobody. He said he wanted to

97
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 2: spend his later years watching his grandchildren grow up and

98
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 2: enjoying life with his family. He also described himself as

99
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,559
Speaker 2: a good man who had left drug dealing behind long ago.

100
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 2: A major part of the case comes from Davis's own

101
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 2: words and interviews, and his twenty nineteen memoir Compton Street Legend.

102
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 2: Prosecutors say he publicly confessed to the killing more than once.

103
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 2: Davis claims a co author took liberties with the story

104
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 2: and that he has never actually read the finished book.

105
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 2: Tupac Shakur was twenty five when he was shot on

106
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 2: September seventh, nineteen ninety six, while writing in a BMW

107
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 2: driven by Death Row Records co founder sug Knight after

108
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 2: Mike Tyson fight. Four bullets struck Shakur at an intersection

109
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 2: known for gang tensions. He died six days later in

110
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 2: the Las Vegas Hospital. For years, the case went unsolved,

111
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 2: fueled by speculation, gang rivalries, and Shakur's fame as one

112
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 2: of hip hop's most influential figures. Police say Davis's own

113
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 2: public accounts help restart the investigation that led to his arrest.

114
