Rap mogul Marion "Suge" Knight pleaded no contest in a Los Angeles court on Thursday to a charge of manslaughter for a 2015 hit-and-run killing, accepting a 28-year prison sentence under a deal with prosecutors days before his murder trial was to begin.

 

In pleading no contest - equivalent to a guilty plea under California law - the 53-year-old co-founder of influential hip-hop label Death Row Records admitted using a "deadly and dangerous weapon" when he ran down two men with his pickup truck.

 

One of the victims, 55-year-old Terry Carter, later died of his injuries. The second man, Cle "Bone" Sloan, was left with a badly mangled left foot and head injuries.

 

The deadly confrontation occurred on January 29, 2015, outside a hamburger stand in the Los Angeles suburb of Compton, following a heated argument on the set of a commercial for the film Straight Outta Compton.

All those people who do not know how to control themselves destroy their own lives at the same time as those of others, it's pathetic!

Good riddance, nothing but a thug.
