GUILTY CA - Terry Carter, 55, killed in hit & run, Suge Knight charged, 29 Jan 2015

Toi-Lin Kelly has known Marion "Suge" Knight for 11 years, and says the former rap music mogul is nothing like the fearsome reputation associated with him from his heyday at the helm of the influential gangster rap label Death Row Records.

(...)

"People forget that he's human, and he has people who love him and has a family and a lot of people who root for him," she told The Associated Press in an exclusive interview alongside Knight's new legal team, J. Tooson and Jeremy Lessem. Knight himself is not permitted to speak publicly.

The session, held recently at the attorneys' suburban offices, offered a preview of their defense of the former mogul, including a detailed account of the time leading up to a violent confrontation that ended when Knight ran over the two men, killing one, outside a Compton burger stand in January 2015.

No, of course not.....Suge is really just a pussy cat now!
 
This guy is really playing the system. When trial starts it will be just like arias, anthony, and others. Hope the Judge is a great one, not good, but great, along with the prosecuter.
 
Suge Knight accuses Dr. Dre of hiring a hitman to murder him in $300million lawsuit

The first time was in August 2014 at a VMA party hosted by Chris Brown at 1OAK in Los Angeles

Knight was shot seven times but survived, with no arrests ever being made

The second time was in January 2015, in an incident which left Terry Carter dead when Knight ran him over with his car

Knight claims he hit the man as he fled from Cle 'Bone' Sloan, who Knight claims was paid $300,000 by Dre to have him killed

Knight claims that Dre did not want to pay him the 30 per cent share he was owed after the rapper sold Beats by Dre to Apple

Suge Knight Reaches Out to Casey Anthony’s Lawyer to Help Him Beat Murder Case

"...Sources tell us the family believes Baez has what it takes to help prove Suge’s case, and present their defense that he believes he was acting in self defense when he drove his truck through the parking lot of a burger joint in Compton and ran over a man who died soon after.

We’re told Baez agrees with Suge’s team and feels that he has a good case. As of now, the deal is not fully inked, partly because Baez is based out of Florida and would need to logistically figure out how to move his team out to Los Angeles for a long time as they research and prep to defend Suge properly.

However, we’re told both sides are extremely interested in working together, so it’s possible the partnership may happen soon....

The 52-year-old former Death Row Records CEO was given a court appointed attorney after his former counsel were busted for allegedly attempting to bribe witnesses. He’s due back in court at the end of April."

:snip: from JG's source link:
[..]
Knight has been assigned a new court appointed lawyer and has stated that he is healthy enough to proceed with the trial.
[..]
(His) sister, Karen Anderson, stated that they would be seeking another private defense lawyer before the start of the trial, but maintains that Knight is ready to stand trial.

Is 28 years 28 actual years--or is it substantially less with parole...?

28 years would make him 81 when he gets out--if he is not dead by then.

On second thought they will take off time served--4 years?

The Death Row Records founder made the plea to avoid charges of murdering one man and attempting to murder a second with his pick-up truck in Los Angeles.

Knight will be formally sentenced to 28 years in prison in October.

Under Californian state law, a no contest plea is the legal equivalent of a guilty plea.

The deal calls for him to serve 22 years in prison for voluntary manslaughter with a further six years added because of the US "three-strikes" law relating to repeated violations. Had Knight been found guilty of murder as originally charged, he would have faced life in prison, prosecutors said.

Former rap mogul Suge to serve 28 years
 
It's a shame you have kids who are now grown and they see you being this way and having lived this way.

I saw his son on TMZ talking about this and just felt so bad for him...
