in the area. Boom was uninjured, two others were hurt.

Data from the BMW's black box allegedly shows the car
accelerated from ninety three to one hundred four miles per
hour just before the impact. Deputy District Attorney Nathan Bartos
told the court quote, they were killed because of the
driving of the defendant. He consciously decided to get that
vehicle up to the speed of one hundred four miles
an hour. This was not an accident. Boehm's defense says

a restaurant in Malibu. Investigators say there's no evidence of that.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Thanks Drew more crime and justice news after this.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
New details and a missing Oklahoma toddler allegedly sold to
a meth dealer by her mother, and these details are
rather disturbing. Ashley Roland, aged thirty nine, and her boyfriend
Joshua Denton, forty, are in jail on child abuse charges
while police search for Roland's daughter, London Kerr. London was
two when she vanished in April of twenty twenty two.
Roland first told police she gave London to a man

(02:56):
named Carlos in a parking lot, claiming he might be
the child's She later admitted Carlos was a meth dealer
and that her story about him taking London to Mexico
was false. Oklahoma City police say interviews with the couple's
other children uncovered graphic abuse claims. Rowland's teenage son told
detectives that Denton hit London with a wooden paddle engraved

(03:17):
with the words the last Resort, and also shot her
with a BB gun. He said Denton once duct taped
him to a chair, beat him with a belt, and
threatened to kill him if he spoke. Denton's two younger
children told investigators they saw him poor hot sauce in
London's eyes more than once, forced her to bite into
a hot pepper and lock her in a closet. An
eight year old girl accused Denton of raping her. Police

(03:39):
searched a storage unit tied to the couple and found
a BB gun, diapers, a pink baby blanket, a car seat,
and the Last Resort. One child said the last time
he saw London, Rowland told him to say goodbye before
driving away with her. He never saw her again. Rowland
discharged with enabling child abuse and engaging in a pattern
of criminal offenses. Denton fail six counts of child abuse,

(04:01):
forcible sodomy, lute acts with a child, and the same
pattern of offenses charge. They remain in the Cleveland County
Jail without bond. London would be turning six next month.
She is white, blonde with blue eyes. Anyone with information
should contact the Oklahoma City Police Department Homicide tip Line
at four oh five two nine seven twelve hundred. The
only man charged in Tupac Shakur's killing changes his legal

(04:24):
team as the trial date nears. Dwayne Keefe d Davis
has hired Robert Draskovich and Michael Pandulo to defend him
in the nineteen ninety six murder case. They take over
from Carl Arnold, who was let go last week. The
new attorneys spoke to reporters in Las Vegas on Tuesday.
They said they are still reviewing the case but planned
a file motions in the coming weeks. They expect to

(04:46):
be ready for the trial set for February ninth of
twenty twenty six. Davis, age sixty two, was arrested in
September of twenty twenty three and pleaded not guilty to
first degree murder. Prosecutors accuse him of arranging the ambush
that killed Tupac near the Loss Vegas Strip. He remains
held without bail. In January, a judge rejected his claim
that old immunity agreements should shield him from prosecution, saying

(05:08):
there was no proof such deals ever existed. In March,
Davis told ABC News quote, I'm innocent. I ain't killed nobody,
never did ever kill nobody. He said he wanted to
spend his later years watching his grandchildren grow up and
enjoying life with his family. He also described himself as
a good man who had left drug dealing behind long ago.

(05:29):
A major part of the case comes from Davis's own
words and interviews, and his twenty nineteen memoir Compton Street Legend.
Prosecutors say he publicly confessed to the killing more than once.
Davis claims a co author took liberties with the story
and that he has never actually read the finished book.
Tupac Shakur was twenty five when he was shot on
September seventh, nineteen ninety six, while writing in a BMW

(05:51):
driven by Death Row Records co founder sug Knight after
Mike Tyson fight. Four bullets struck Shakur at an intersection
known for gang tensions. He died six days later in
the Las Vegas Hospital. For years, the case went unsolved,
fueled by speculation, gang rivalries, and Shakur's fame as one
of hip hop's most influential figures. Police say Davis's own

(06:13):
public accounts help restart the investigation that led to his arrest.
