Former Death Row Records owner Marion “Suge” Knight, Dr. Dre and Ice Cube have all been named in a wrongful death suit for deceased California man Terry Carter.
According to reports, the Carter family have sought out legal action in the publicized hit-and-run case.
Carter’s wife and kids have filed the lawsuit — obtained by TMZ — claiming Dr. Dre and Ice Cube — both producers of “Straight Outta Compton” — hired known gang members to provide security for location shoots in gang-infested neighborhoods. The suit claims some of the gang members incited the fight and threatened Suge, leading to his decision to roar back through the parking lot in a panic, running over and killing Carter. (TMZ)
Last week, Suge Knight had his murder case delayed following the hire of a new celebrity attorney.
The appearance of attorney Thomas Mesereau prompted the judge to reschedule a hearing on a motion by Knight to dismiss murder, attempted murder and hit-and-run charges. The motion was pushed back until July 7 to give Mesereau time to file his own legal documents and get more familiar with the case. (Associated Press)
Despite past issues, ex-Death Row Records artist Snoop Dogg stressed his friendship with Suge last month.
“I do that’s why I feel sorry for him because I made up with him and we got on a great page before this nonsense started happening because I play the role of being the big man. I don’t ever kick a man when he’s down and I always look forward to building a relationship with someone I had a relationship with. And I feel like a lot of times I feel like it be a misunderstanding and it be people in the entourage as opposed to the two people really hating each other. I never hated him and he never really hated me. How could you hate me when I made you $100 million and how could I hate you when you help me build a team to beat my murder case. I didn’t forget about that. It’s a give and take thing. That’s why I’ve always have a open heart for him – this was my friend before he became my enemy.” (“The Whoolywood Shuffle”)
In late April, a judge did not approve Suge’s request to have bail reduced in his current hit and run fatal case.
His attorney asked the court to reduce Knight’s bail, now set at $10 million, but Los Angeles County Judge Ronald Coen denied the request. Knight faces one count of murder for the death of Terry Carter, one count of attempted murder in the case of Cle “Bone” Sloan, who was maimed in the incident, and one count of hit-and-run. Knight, 49, faces up to life in prison if convicted. (CNN)
Suge about to get away with murder
Why would that be? People can file lawsuits and make claims all they want at any time they want. That isnt going to affect the trial, legal proceedings etc though. Dont get it twisted
The family blamed Dre and Cube for hiring gang members to do security
The suit claims some of the gang members incited the fight and threatened Suge, leading to his decision to roar back through the parking lot in a panic, running over and killing Carter. (TMZ)
Sounds like self defense to me
Not to mention Bone didn’t testify against suge he blamed himself
And? If that was the end all be all then the judge wouldnt have ordered it to go to trial. the judge determined there was enough evidence
This is a lawsuit man…it has nothing to do with the murder trial and doesnt affect it. The family also wasnt there when it happened so they can only know as much as law enforcement/authorities do. They can make claims, file lawsuits, and say anything they want but it wont have any affect on the legal proceedings regarding suges case/trial. Also, if it sounds like self defense to you, then why did you just recently say hes about to get away with “murder”?
I said he about to get away with murder because he clearly murdered dude on camera but now that the whole story coming out it sounds like self defense we just gotta see what the judge say
How do you the family wasn’t there
If they were it wouldve been mentioned by now, but it hasnt
Streets always been my daddy and momma be the county jail…
The video still exist. The dummy hit him, then backed over him like he was wiping his feet.
Dre look scared…..smh
