To recap:
The former Death Row Records co-founder had been facing life in prison for Carter’s death and one count of attempted murder in the case of Cle “Bone” Sloan, who was maimed after Knight allegedly struck the pair with his truck.
Knight had also been charged with one count of hit-and-run.
The maximum penalty for voluntary manslaughter in California is 11 years in prison, but that was doubled because of Knight’s prior convictions under the state’s three-strikes law, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office said.
Why Suge Knight Got 28-years in Prison:
Knight faced another five years because the conviction is for a serious and violent felony and one additional year for a deadly weapon allegation involving the truck he used.
“Straight Outta Compton,” tells the story of the founding of the rap group N.W.A.
Knight and N.W.A. member Andre “Dr. Dre” Young established the Death Row Records label together in 1991.
