    NEW YORK (AP) --

    Another week of football meant another winning week for NBC, according to the Nielsen company. A pair of NFL face-offs handed NBC the week’s most-watched and third-ranked programs, Nielsen said Tuesday.

    But NBC had more in its playbook: a solid new hit drama. Although “This Is Us” isn’t the fall’s biggest new hit -CBS’s “Bull” took the No. 7 slot last week – this gentle family drama continued to make NBC proud, landing in the No. 9 position with nearly 11 million viewers.

    Also contributing to the cause, though not as much as NBC might have hoped, was its annual live musical. “Hairspray Live!” sung-and-danced its way to an 18th place showing with 9 million viewers.

    To no one’s surprise, the half-season finale of “The Walking Dead” was a ratings highlight for AMC, taking 11th place with more than 10 million viewers.

    In prime time for the week, NBC averaged 10.61 million viewers. CBS was second with 7.76 million viewers, Fox and ABC were tied with 4.49 million, Univision had 1.78 million, Telemundo had 1.53 million, the CW had 1.47 million and ION Television had 1.22 million.

    Fox News Channel remained the most popular cable network last week, averaging 2.51 million viewers in prime time. Hallmark had 2.27 million, while ESPN had 2.22 million.

    “NBC Nightly News’” won the week’s evening news race, averaging 9.18 million viewers to 9.11 million for “ABC World News Tonight.” The “CBS Evening News” had 7.62 million.

    Duane “Keffe D” Davis’ Murder Trial Heads To Closing In Tupac Shakur’s 1996 Killing

    Friday, August 28, 2026

    The murder trial of Duane "Keffe D" Davis in the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur is headed to closing arguments after the defense rested Thursday following testimony from three former Las Vegas police officers.

    Jurors are scheduled to return Monday for closing arguments before beginning deliberations in the only prosecution brought in the killing of the hip-hop icon. The presentation of evidence ended after nine days of testimony.

    Davis, 63, did not take the stand.

    Shakur was riding in a BMW on Sept. 7, 1996, when a white Cadillac pulled up next to it at a red light near the Las Vegas Strip and gunfire erupted. Shakur was shot multiple times and died six days later. The driver of the BMW, Marion "Suge" Knight, survived.

    Years later, Davis would say he procured the gun and his nephew, who has since died, fired the shots. Prosecutors say Davis orchestrated the killing, and he faces life in prison if convicted of murder with a deadly weapon with the intent to promote, further or assist a criminal gang. He has pleaded not guilty.

    Defense attorney Michael Sanft has argued that Davis fabricated or embellished his accounts of the killing for money and notoriety and that investigators failed to independently corroborate his claims.

    Retired Las Vegas homicide detective Dan Long, the defense's final witness, testified that he tried unsuccessfully to verify several details Davis provided during a 2009 police interview.

    Davis told Long that his nephew, Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson, had gone to a Las Vegas hospital after being beaten by Shakur and others in a casino brawl hours before the rapper was fatally shot. Long said he was unable to find hospital records confirming Anderson was treated there.
