Suge Knight’s Prosecutors Are Seeking a $25 Million Bail

Prosecutors want Suge Knight's bail set at $25 million. Referencing his violent past, the motion sites 31 different incidents in which Knight is either accused of threatening others or using violence, Billboard reports. Filed by Deputy District Attorney Cynthia Barnes, the motion also claims that Suge is a “prolific and unrepentant criminal.”  Barnes documented Knight's criminal history in 295 pages of written arguments and supporting evidence.

The L.A. Times reports the most shocking revelations:

• Knight is suspected of extorting “taxes” from rappers and athletes who want to work in Los Angeles or Las Vegas, according to a sworn affidavit submitted by Los Angeles County sheriff’s Sgt. Richard Biddle.
• Knight and a woman in Las Vegas are also involved in laundering more than $10 million since 2002 through a network of bank accounts, according to Biddle.
• In 2014, a man told the LAPD that Knight held him at gunpoint for about 10 minutes in an alleyway and repeatedly vowed to kill him, according to a police report.

The Former CEO of Death Row Records, who has been in and out of the hospital since being arrested for the the past two months, has pleaded not guilty to murder and attempted murder. The charges stem from the hit and run incident on the commercial set of the N.W.A biopic Straight Outta Compton back in January. Knight is accused of killing Terry Carter and attempting to kill Cle "Bone" Sloan with his truck. Knight is scheduled to appear in an L.A. courtroom this morning (March 20) for a hearing regarding his bail.

In other news regarding Knight's case, it was reported on Wednesday (March 18) that the Compton native was attacked by Bone moments before striking Sloan with his truck. If true, this can bolster Knight's claim that he was acting in self-defense. Another part of Suge's claim is that he is legally blind in his left eye and couldn't see when he was driving.

We will continue to update as the case progresses.
