The End is Near; Suge Knight Facing 28 Years in Prison

This is NOT what former Death Row Records mogul Suge Knight wanted to hear, but the proof is in the video.

Sorry to say, but if you watch the video of Suge Knight driving over two men then backing up and doing it a second time it does look like he was fleeing in fear for his life. Read on to see what happened in court…

CelebNMusic247.com has the latest development regarding veteran hip-hop mogul Suge Knight.

Former rap mogul Marion Suge Knight pleaded no contest Thursday to manslaughter.

Suge Knight, who is 53, is now facing 28 years behind bars on October 4 in exchange for his plea. Click here for the backstory…

CNN reports:

Knight was accused in January 2015 of running over two men, killing one of them, during an argument.

Knight had faced one count of murder for the death of Terry Carter 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 one count of hit-and-run. He had faced life in prison.

There is a video, which you can watch here of Knight backing up and running over Sloan, the putting the car in drive and running over Sloan a second time and the hitting and running over his friend Terry Carter, a former rap music label owner. Carter died shortly after.

The defense previously argued Knight was defending himself because Sloan had a gun.

The maximum penalty for voluntary manslaughter in California is 11 years in prison, but that would double because of prior convictions under the state’s three-strikes law, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office said.

Knight faces another five years because the conviction is for a serious and violent felony and one year for a deadly weapon allegation involving the truck he used.

Two other criminal cases against Knight will be dismissed at sentencing.
