    Suge Knight picks Rockets to win NBA title as murder trial set

    Knight, a co-founder of Death Row Records, is accused of driving his car into two men, killing one and injuring the other, after a January 2015 argument, according to the Los Angeles Times.

    During a hearing Monday, a judge asked Knight who he thought would win the NBA championship.

    “Houston,” Knight said, according to the Times.

    "All right, Houston. Good pick," the judge responded.

    The Rockets finished the 2017-18 regular season with a 65-17 record and entered the NBA playoffs with the Western Conference’s top overall seed. Houston topped Minnesota 119-100 Monday night to take a 3-1 lead in its opening round series. The Rockets scored 50 third-quarter points en route to the win.

    Knight has pleaded not guilty in his murder case. His trial is set for Sept. 24, according to the Times.

    Suge Knight’s Murder Trial Date Has Been Set: Report

    By Israel Daramola
    SPIN

    Former Death Row Records CEO Marion “Suge” Knight finally has a trial date for the 2015 murder charge against him, the Los Angeles Times reports. Knight was charged after allegedly being involved in the hit-and-run death of a man named Terry Carter near the set of a promotional shoot for the N.W.A. biopic Straight Outta Compton. The trial, now reported to begin September 24th, has faced a number of setbacks since the original start date of January 8, 2018 was pushed back after two of Knight’s former attorneys (Thaddeus Culpepper and Matthew Fletcher) were indicted for conspiracy to commit bribery. Knight will now have a court-appointed lawyer, who, as reported by the New York Daily News, will be the 16th attorney he’s had over the course of this case.

    Suge Knight sentenced to 28 years in prison after pleading guilty to murder

    By Alex Young

    Suge Knight has been sentenced to 28 years in prison after pleading no contest to voluntary manslaughter.

    In January 2015, the former Death Row Records CEO was arrested and charged with murder after he was involved in a hit-and-run at a Los Angeles restaurant parking lot.

    Knight allegedly got into a confrontation with two men while on the set of the N.W.A. biopic Straight Outta Compton. According to prosecutors, Knight proceeded to follow the men to a nearby burger restaurant, where he ran over them with his car.

    One of the men struck, Terry Carter, died from his injuries. The other, Cle Sloan, suffered injuries to his head and foot. Knight fled the scene of the incident before authorities arrived.

    Knight, who turned 53 in April, had been facing the possibility of life in prison. His no contest plea came days before his trial was scheduled to begin on Monday (Sept. 24). Knight will get credit for the three-and-a-half years he already served while awaiting the trial.

    Aside from the murder charge, Knight was also facing a second-degree robbery charge for an incident in 2014 in which he and comedian Katt Williams are accused to have stolen a paparazzi’s camera. In 2017, he was indicted on charges of “threatening death or bodily injury” against Staight Outta Compton director F. Gary Gray, to which Knight pleaded not guilty.

    Knight was previously sentenced to nine years in prison in 1997 after violating his probation stemming from an earlier assault charge. After being granted early release in 2001, he was sent back to prison in 2003 after assaulting a parking attendant.

    Knight, who has experienced a myriad of health issues in recent years, told the judge he expects to die in prison.
