Knight's Retrial Collapses Amid Settlement Dispute
Tap title to read story
Suge Knight's wrongful death retrial took an unexpected turn when he contradicted his lawyer's claim of a last-minute settlement. The lawyer, David Kenner, stated they'd agreed to proceed directly to the damages phase, avoiding a jury trial on liability for the 2015 death of Terry Carter. However, Knight, speaking remotely from prison, denied any such agreement, leading to Kenner's renewed motion to withdraw from the case. Judge Long reserved his ruling and postponed jury selection until April 29th. The initial trial ended in a hung jury.
