The jury's verdict that Duane "Keffe D" Davis orchestrated the 1996 murder of rap icon Tupac Shakur has finally brought a measure of closure to a case that has captivated hip-hop fans and haunted the public for decades.

陪審團裁定杜安·「基夫·D」·戴維斯策劃了1996年饒舌偶像圖帕克·夏庫爾謀殺案,此裁決終於這樁數十年來令嘻哈樂迷密切關注縈繞公眾心頭懸案帶來了某種程度了結

Davis, aged sixty-three, was convicted on Monday of murder with a deadly weapon, a charge that could carry a life sentence.

六十三歲的戴維斯於週一被裁定一項以致命武器犯下的謀殺罪名成立,恐將面臨終身監禁的刑期。

Following a trial that spanned several weeks in Las Vegas, the jury reached this verdict after deliberating for less than three hours.

在拉斯維加斯歷經數週的審判程序陪審團僅經過不到三小時的商議便作出了這項裁決

Upon the reading of the verdict, Shakur's sister Sekyiwa "Set" Shakur was moved to tears and promptly stepped forward to embrace the prosecutor.

宣讀裁決之後夏庫爾的胞妹塞基瓦·「塞特」·夏庫爾不禁潸然淚下隨即上前擁抱了檢察官

Meanwhile, Davis's son concealed his face with his hands.

與此同時戴維斯的兒子以手掌遮掩了自己的面容

In his closing argument earlier on Monday, Chief Deputy District Attorney Binu Palal told the jury that Davis had obtained a firearm after his nephew was assaulted earlier that evening, and had embarked on a "hunt" targeting Shakur and Marion "Suge" Knight, the co-founder of Death Row Records.

首席副地方檢察官比努·帕拉爾在週一早些時候結案陳詞向陪審團表示戴維斯在當晚稍早其侄子遭毆打後取得槍枝夏庫爾死囚唱片公司共同創辦人馬里昂·「蘇格」·奈特展開獵殺」。

"He bears full responsibility for the death of Tupac Shakur," Parall said.

圖帕克·夏庫爾之死難辭其咎,」帕拉爾表示

"Let him take that to heart.

把話聽進去。

Make sure he is convicted."

務必將他定罪。」

The prosecution pointed out that despite the variations in Davis's accounts over the years, he had repeatedly maintained that he was inside the white Cadillac from which the bullets were fired.

檢方指出儘管戴維斯多年來的說詞有所變化他仍多次堅稱自己當時身處那輛白色凱迪拉克內而子彈正是從該車射出

Furthermore, the prosecution emphasized that although he did not personally pull the trigger, the evidence indicated that, as a powerful gang leader, he had ordered the shooting, and the younger members in the vehicleincluding his nephewwould have followed his orders.

此外檢方強調雖然他並未親自扣下扳機但證據顯示作為一名勢力強大的幫派領袖他下令開槍,而車內較年輕的成員——包括他的侄子——都會遵從他的命令

Defense attorney Michael Sanft questioned the jury as to whether any evidence existed, before or after the shooting, that would sufficiently indicate Davis had issued an order.

辯護律師邁克爾·桑夫特向陪審團質詢在槍擊事件發生前後是否存在任何足以顯示戴維斯曾下達指令的證據。

The jury, comprising sixteen members (four of whom were alternates), heard testimony from twenty-four prosecution witnesses and three defense witnesses over the course of nine days.

由十六名陪審員組成的陪審團(其中四人為候補)在九天內聽取了二十四名控方證人三名辯方證人的證詞

The prosecution stated that, owing to logistical issues with witnesses, the state would be withdrawing an aggravated charge involving gang affiliation.

檢方表示由於證人後勤方面的問題州政府將撤銷一項涉及幫派的加重指控

Following the verdict, the prosecution declined to offer any comment, whereas Shakur's family indicated that they would await the sentencing hearing scheduled for October.

宣判之後檢方拒絕發表任何評論夏庫爾的家人則表明他們將靜候十月舉行的量刑聽證會

This trial has brought a case spanning several decades to its zenith, one that has long captivated the attention of hip-hop enthusiasts and true crime researchers alike.

此次審判一樁橫亙數十載案件推至巔峰該案多年來始終牽動著嘻哈樂迷真實犯罪研究者的目光

Shakur, hailed as one of the most influential rappers of all time, was stopped at a traffic light in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, when a white Cadillac pulled up quietly and gunfire erupted almost immediately.

夏庫爾被譽為史上最具影響力的饒舌歌手之一1996年9月7日在拉斯維加斯一處紅綠燈前停車之際一輛白色凱迪拉克悄然駛近旋即槍聲大作

He succumbed to his injuries six days later, while Knight, though wounded as well, managed to survive by sheer luck.

因傷重於六日後辭世奈特負傷僥倖存活

For years, no one was ever prosecuted in connection with the rapper's death, until Davis began publicly claiming that he was inside the Cadillac at the time of the incident, handed the firearm to others in the back seat, and asserted that the shooting was an act of retaliation for the earlier beating of his nephew.

多年來這名饒舌歌手之死始終無人因此遭到起訴,直至戴維斯開始公開宣稱事發當時身處凱迪拉克車內將槍枝遞交給後座的其他人,同時聲稱此次槍擊是為了報復其侄子先前遭人毆打一事。

Davis is the sole surviving individual among the four men the prosecution alleges were in the vehicle.

戴維斯檢方所指控車內四名男子唯一尚在人世者

The witness described the hostile standoff between Los Angeles gang factions, namely the Mob Piru and the South Side Compton Crips to which Davis belonged, a confrontation that ultimately led to Shakur's demise;

證人描述了洛杉磯幫派派系之間的敵對對峙莫布·皮魯戴維斯所屬的南區康普頓瘸幫此對峙最終導致夏庫爾喪命

Furthermore, the witness elucidated the context in which these respective gangs had forged alliances with Suge Knight's Death Row Records and Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs's Bad Boy Records.

同時證人闡明了這些幫派分別奈特旗下的死囚唱片公司肖恩·“吹牛老爹”·庫姆斯壞小子唱片公司結盟的脈絡。

Davis's defense attorney, Sanft, argued that there was a lack of physical evidence directly linking his client to the shooting incident.

戴維斯的辯護律師桑夫特主張缺乏實體證據能將當事人槍擊事件直接連結。

He further contended that the book co-authored by Davis and his public statements were deliberately exaggerated bluster aimed at commercial gain, rather than a faithful account of the facts.

進一步指出戴維斯合著的書籍及其公開言論實為謀求商業利益刻意誇大的虛張聲勢,並非對事實的如實陳述

Throughout the trial, Sanford challenged the prosecution's narrative.

在整個審判過程中桑夫特檢方的敘述提出了質疑。

He pointed out that investigators had not corroborated his client's statements, and repeatedly underscored the absence of crucial physical evidence, such as phone records, that would implicate Davis as the orchestrator.

他指出調查人員並未支持其客戶的聲明並反覆強調缺乏如電話記錄關鍵物證以證明戴維斯是指揮者

"In this case, they have no substantive evidence whatsoever to prove that the individual was in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996."

在本案中他們並無任何實質證據足以證明該名人士於1996年9月7日身處拉斯維加斯。」

Such was the assertion made by Sanft during his closing arguments.

桑夫特於結案陳詞中如此陳述

During the rebuttal, prosecutor Mark DiGiacomo pointed out that Davis had kept a scrapbook containing articles related to Shakur.

在反駁過程中檢察官馬克·迪賈科莫指出戴維斯保存了一本剪貼簿其中收錄了與夏庫爾相關的文章

This fellow was actually piecing together the details of his murder case, heavens above.

這廝竟在拼湊其謀殺案之細節天哪

DiGiacomo stated this to the jury.

迪賈科莫向陪審團陳述道

Parall raised Davis's 2019 memoir, "Legends of Compton Street," and played an interview clip in which Davis urged readers to purchase the book in pursuit of what he called the "real truth."

帕拉爾高舉起戴維斯於2019年出版回憶錄《康普頓街傳奇》播放了一段訪談片段其中戴維斯慫恿讀者購置該書以探求所謂的「真實真相」

Although the book explicitly states that certain facts have been altered, the prosecution maintains that its core narrative has never deviated from the truth.

儘管書中載明部分事實業經更動檢方堅稱核心敘事脈絡未曾偏離

In his closing argument, Sanft also invoked his client's memoir.

在結案陳詞中桑夫特援引其當事人的回憶錄

As he read aloud an excerpt from it, he audibly uttered the racially derogatory N-word, causing those listening in the adjacent courtroom to recoil and shake their heads in dismay.

當他朗讀其中一段摘錄時,大聲唸出帶有種族歧視意味的N詞致使在另一法庭旁聽的人們不禁退縮頻頻搖頭

In numerous interviews, Davis claimed to have handed the firearm to a rear-seat passenger, yet in other interview settings and in his writings, he never explicitly clarified who actually pulled the trigger.

在多次訪談中,戴維斯聲稱他已將槍枝交給後座乘客,然而在其他訪談場合及其著作中,他卻從未明確交代究竟是誰扣下了扳機。

The prosecution maintained that Davis's testimony alone sufficed to establish a basis for conviction, while simultaneously noting that the standoff between rival gangs served to illuminate the sequence of events leading up to the shooting.

檢方堅稱僅憑戴維斯一人的證詞便足以構成定罪之依據然同時亦指出幫派間的對峙局勢有助於闡明槍擊事件發生的來龍去脈

The witness detailed the tense standoff between rival Los Angeles gang factions, fueled by animosity, which ultimately led to Shakur's death; concurrently, he clarified the alliances between the gangs and two opposing record labelsMob Piru with Knight's Death Row Records, and the South Side Compton Crips with Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs's Bad Boy Records.

證人詳述了洛杉磯幫派派系間因敵意而對峙緊張局勢此對峙最終導致夏庫爾喪生同時他闡明了幫派與兩家相互對立的唱片公司之間的結盟關係——莫布·皮魯奈特的死囚唱片公司,以及南區康普頓瘸幫肖恩·「吹牛老爹」·庫姆斯的壞小子唱片公司

Six months after Shakur's demise, the Notorious B.I.G. was also fatally shot, a matter repeatedly raised during the trial; law enforcement witnesses stated that Davis had been a suspect but was subsequently cleared.

夏庫爾辭世六個月之後聲名狼藉先生(Notorious B.I.G.)遭槍擊斃命此事於庭審中屢被提及執法證人戴維斯曾為嫌疑人後來排除嫌疑

The case remains unsolved to this day, continuing to captivate hip-hop enthusiasts.

此案至今未破嘻哈樂迷著迷。
