Knight is accused of murder and hit-and-run in the death of Terry Carter. Sandra Mitchell reports. A judge ruled Tuesday that Marion Suge Knight should stand trial on murder charges even though a key witness — one of the men he's accused of running over — refused to identify him in court. Cle Bone Sloan told detectives it was Knight who ran over him and another man outside a Compton burger stand in January, killing the other man and seriously injuring Sloan. But when Sloan testified about the incident at Knight's preliminary hearing in April, he refused to say Knight ran him over. Knight's attorney Thomas Mesereau said the judge should reject Sloan's testimony because his changing story showed he isn't credible. But Superior Court Judge Stephen A. Marcus said he could not evaluate the credibility of witnesses at a preliminary hearing. The judge noted, He doesn't say that it's not him. He also cited evidence that Sloan and Knight had bad blood between them for years, calling the fight that led to the fatal confrontation part of an ongoing soap opera between the men. The only person who had a motive was Suge Knight, the judge said. Sloan told detectives he repeatedly punched Knight through the window of his pickup moments before he was run over. After running over Sloan, Knight ran over and killed Terry Carter, 55, investigators said. Knight's attorneys have said their client was ambushed and fleeing an attack when he ran over the men. Mesereau said after the hearing that the case was in its early stages and he wouldn't comment further. Knight is being held on $10 million bail, which Mesereau said Tuesday he would seek to have reduced. Posted By PSmooth
Judge Refuses To Dismiss Suge Knight's Murder Case!
I spent some time reading lyrics penned by Rap 'artists' produced, promoted and made famous by Suge Knight.
What I read are angry, juvenile lyrics depicting much of the chaos, violence and harm I personally observed caused by people who empathize with their lyrics and have lived in communities affected by the lawlessness and disrespect many of their words depict.
History teaches us Rap and Hip-Hop record producer Suge Knight is a angry, violence prone, maladjusted adult who in my opinion is directly responsible for actively and gleefully contributing to the physical and emotional harm many peaceful people living in urban communities have to contend with on a 24/7 basis.
In addition to being charged with murder, Suge should be facing societal charges of perpetuating negative stereotypes that harm peaceful people living in many communities populated by aspiring Rap and Hip-Hop stars, and for failing to assist damaged teens and men who are obviously suffering much emotional pain, instead of exploiting them for profit and notoriety.
