‘Suge’ Knight’s lawyer: Video of deadly wreck helps defense

LOS ANGELES (AP) – The new attorney for former rap music mogul Marion “Suge” Knight said newly released video showed his client was attacked before his pickup truck ran over two men, killing one.
Celebrity news website TMZ posted Monday what appears to be surveillance video from a fast-food restaurant.
The camera recorded a red pickup truck pulling into the parking lot. A man approached the driver’s side window, when defense attorney Matt Fletcher said Knight was attacked.
The video showed the man getting knocked down as the pickup reverses. The truck then sped forward, running over the fallen man and a second man.
Knight pleaded not guilty to murder, attempted murder and hit-and-run charges.
After a brief hearing Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Fletcher told reporters the footage helps Knight’s case.
