Suge Knight has been told he must stand trial on a murder charge.
A judge gave the order to former rap music mogul Marion “Suge” Knight for murder and attempted-murder charges in a deadly hit-and-run.
The co-founder of Death Row Records has been charged with intentionally killing 55-year-old Terry Carter and seriously injuring Cle “Bone” Sloan by striking them with his truck outside a Compton burger stand in late January.
Knight’s attorney has said his client was ambushed and was trying to flee an attack by Sloan when he hit the men.
Los Angeles Superior Court judge Ronald Coen made the ruling Thursday after prosecutors presented some of their evidence against the 49-year-old Knight.
Coen’s decision came after hearing testimony from Sloan, who told authorities he attacked Knight but said Monday that he didn’t remember the fight or being hit by Knight’s truck.
