Marion “Suge” Knight was sentenced to 28 years in prison due to a hit-and-run altercation on the set of the movie “Straight out of Compton” back in 2015.
Suge Knight, the former co-founder of Death Row Records was, according to CNN, facing life for the death of Terry Carter and one count of attempted murder in the case of Cle “Bone” Sloan. A video of the attack showed Knight sitting in a vehicle that ran over Sloan, a body guard, twice, then running over Terry Carter, who later died.
Carter was a former rap music label owner, and his family members made it a point to represent him in court during Knights hearing. According to CNN the family members made emotional victim impact statements in the courtroom Thursday. The niece of Carter stated “He never got out of the car, to see if my uncle was okay. This has to be in my family forever. Nothing will be the same. Not even an apology, condolences have been made to my family.”
Last month knight pleaded no contest, which means the defendant neither disputes or admits to doing the crime.This is not Knights first run-in with the law which is why his sentence has been hiked up to 28 years.
