Former
hip-hop music mogul Marion “Suge” Knight has been charged with murder and
attempted murder after he struck two men with his pickup truck last week.
Prosecutors
allege that Knight intended to run down a friend and another man after an
argument on a movie set. One of the men was killed.
Knight’s
attorney, James Blatt, has said Knight ran over them accidently as he tried to
escape a vicious attack. He turned himself in to police on Friday.
Knight’s
initial bail of $2m was revoked on Monday after a court commissioner agreed
with authorities that he was a potential flight risk and could intimidate
witnesses.
Knight
is scheduled to appear in court in Compton on Tuesday to be arraigned on four
felony counts, which include murder in the death of 55-year-old Terry Carter,
“attempted, willful, deliberate, and premeditated murder” involving victim
51-year-old Cle “Bone” Sloan, plus two charges of hit-and-run.
