Homicide detectives are analyzing a new video that may exonerate Hip Hop mogul Suge Knight, TMZ reports.
The celebrity gossip site has learned that the West Hollywood Sheriff’s department handling the case has obtained a video that “presumably” captured a portion of the hit-and-run incident.
The former Death Row CEO, was arrested Friday (January 30) on murder charges after police questioned him at the West Hollywood, California police station.
Charges stem from Knight’s involvement in a deadly hit-and-run outside of Tam’s Burgers near the 1200 block of West Rosecrans Avenue in Los Angeles. Knight reportedly struck three men with his vehicle. He injured two of them and killed his alleged friend, Terry Carter.
It’s unclear at the moment how police acquired the video since the surveillance camera from the Tam’s Burgers parking lot was not operating.
Knight’s lawyer, James E. Blatt, has told reporters the incident was unintentional and that his client feared for his life. Blatt believes that the murder charge will not be filed because Suge was acting in self defense.
Knight is being held on suspicion of murder in the fatal accident. His bail has been set at $2 million.

Probably somebody caught it on a camera phone or something.
or its made up because Suge is a Police informant like Daz said lol
wonder why Daz had to wait for Suge to get locked up to speak on that…..
because he didnt want to get killed by suge knight
surprised TMZ ain’t get it first
He gonna skate on that murder charge and maybe get involuntary manslaughter. Officer Ricky the coward probably shouldn’t have mentioned him in his new remix….
nope, like you said its still an involuntary murder charge. then you got the fact that he partook in a fight in which his actions resulted in there being a death. plus, you also got the fact that he fled the scene making it a hit n run. doesnt matter he’ll get sentenced
he might do 1-3 years max
nope its three strikes and ur out in cali. he already had prior felonies and this incident happened just two days after his latest court hearing for another felony charge. he’ll probly do more than 1-3 years
Oooh R.i.p then Suge .
