Suge Knight Video - The new video that surfaced, showing Suge Knight's hit-and-run incident shows disturbing scenes which could possibly impact the murder case against the media mogul, reports CNN. The Suge Knight video has been obtained by TMZ, and it shows Knight running over 2 men, killing one.
The Suge Knight video, anointed by the website with freeze frames, captions and arrows, also called it gruesome. The graphic content of the Suge Knight video has led many to believe that it can become the centerpiece of Knight's murder trial.
The Suge Knight video reportedly came from a surveillance camera from Tam's Burgers in Compton. It's near where Knight had been watching Dr. Dre's filming of footage connected with the NWA biopic, "Straight Outta Compton." Apparently, Knight had been kicked out of another location shoot 20 minutes earlier, and according to him, he went to the burger joint to patch things up with Dre.
In the Suge Knight video of the hit-and-run incident, Knight pulls up and is confronted by Cle "Bone" Sloan, who did security for the film. Bone attacks Knight through the driver's window and Knight suddenly throws the truck in reverse. Bone is clipped on the side with the side view mirror and is knocked down.
Terry Carter is also seen in the Suge Knight video, standing near Bone. Carter moves into the parking lot, then Knight moves the truck once again, hitting Bone a second time. However, Carter was mowed down this time, and he is mortally wounded.
Carter, 55, was killed in the collision on Jan. 29, while Bone was seriously injured. The AP reportedly tried to contact the Carter family lawyer about the Suge Knight video but the publication was unsuccessful.
Accused rap mogul Marion "Suge" Knight was last heard firing his lawyer, claiming to be blind and headed for the hospital again after a court hearing on murder charges against him, according to USA Today.
On Monday, Knight showed up in court but with a new lawyer. He retained his previous defense - that the video will help defend him against murder and attempted murder charges.
"They attacked Suge without question," his new lawyer, Matthew Fletcher, told reporters after the hearing. "I told Suge, 'This helps you beyond any stretch of the imagination.'"
According to Knight, he wasn't attempting to run either man over. Instead, he was trying to escape fearing he would be killed by both. His lawyer also claimed Bone and Terry to have carried guns at the time of the incident. Knight also claims that multiple people in the crowd had beenthreatening to shoot him.
According to TMZ, it was Carter's family who had asked them to post the Suge Knight video to show what happened during the hit-and-run.
"The Carter family is pleased you are releasing the video so the public can see what actually occurred and not be forced to speculate based on third party descriptions of the video," the family's lawyer, Gary Dordick, told TMZ.
The Suge Knight video is believed by the media mogul as something that would exonerate him. However, prosecutors reportedly feel the opposite.
Knight was a key player in the gangster rap scene of the 90s, with his Death Row Records label once listing Dr. Dre, Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg among its artists. Knight unfortunately lost control of the Death Row after it had been forced into bankruptcy.
