Deputy Dist. Atty. Cynthia J. Barnes told the LA Times that she believed Knight “did it in front of the cameras.”

During the hearing Barnes listed some 31 incidents in the last decade in which Knight was accused of acting violently or threatening to do so.

Most recently Suge Knight is accused of running over and killing Terry Carter, and critically injuring Cle “Bone” Sloan, January 29 in a parking lot following an argument on the set of a Straight Outta Compton film commercial.

The music mogul is charged with murder, attempted murder and two counts of hit-and-run with an allegation that he committed a violent felony while out on bail in another case.
