Suge Knight's defense is in full swing: his lawyer says that his client, who was arrested on murder charges this morning, had no clue that he had hit two people and killed his own friend yesterday in Compton.
His lawyer James Blatt told the Los Angeles Times, "He had no knowledge whatsoever he ran over anyone. There’s no damage to Mr. Knight’s car."
The man killed in the hit-and-run was his friend 55-year-old Terry Carter. Blatt says that Carter was trying to help Knight who was being attacked by a group at Tam's Burgers in Compton: "Mr. Carter, to our knowledge, was not involved. … He was a friend. He was trying to break up the fight with Mr. Knight."
But Blatt says a witness at the scene told him that Knight was fighting for his life: “Mr. Knight was attacked by a group of men while he was in his vehicle. They were beating him, threatening to kill him and attempting to drag him outside of the vehicle. He made an effort to escape, he was in fear for his life. And that’s exactly what he did.”
A second man, Cle “Bone” Sloan, was also injured in the hit-and-run, Blatt says. He is an actor whose credits include "Training Day."
Capt. John Corina of the L.A. County Sheriff's Department told the Times that an argument erupted on the set of the NWA biopic "Straight Outta Compton" around 3 p.m. yesterday. Deputies say that they believe that after the argument Knight followed men in his truck to a restaurant, then ran them over in a parking lot.
"Looks like he drove backwards and struck the victims and drove forwards and struck them again," Corina told reporters yesterday. "The people we talked to say it looked like it was an intentional act."
A 17-year-old named Robert Smith, who happened to be eating in the restaurant told the Associated Press he couldn't believe his own eyes: "To see the argument happen, it's one thing. Seeing the car incident, that was shocking."
Blatt is hoping that detectives can find security camera footage from the area that will exonerate his client.
Does any of this seem a bit odd to you guys? I mean one of the most criminally involved guys in the rap industry has not gone to jail yet and now suddenly he would do this shit? Maybe there is more to this situation then is being said right now.
If the glove box doesn't fit, you have to acquit.
Get him back behind bars so that Vanilla Ice may resume his singing career !!
Uhh, $2 a galloin is more than twice what I remember paying at the end of the '90s.
http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-suge-knights-bail-revoked-20150202-story.htmlFormer rap music mogul Marion "Suge" Knight has been charged with murder and attempted murder after he allegedly ran over two people, killing one, following an argument in Compton last week, according to the Los Angeles County district attorney. The official charges come hours after Knight's $2.2-million bail was revoked. Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Nicole Nishida told The Times that Knight's bail was pulled for the following reasons: “Possible flight risk, three-strike candidate, possible witness intimidation issues and his criminal past.”

It was initially believed the Death Row Records founder had a panic attack.
On Tuesday, Knight was rushed to the the hospital after a court hearing where he pleaded not guilty to charges including murder and attempted murder.
Family sources told the website that Knight has another blood clot, similar to the one that “almost killed him” in a Las Vegas jail three months ago.
The 49-year-old reportedly has been put on blood thinners while doctors assess the situation. Knight is under constant watch and handcuffed to his hospital bed, reports TMZ.
Here we have the video of the death:

Suge believes the video exonerates him. Prosecutors feel the opposite. Any opinions? (I am of the view Suge is guilty)
