It would appear as if all of Marion Hugh “Suge” Knight Jr.‘s demons have — officially — caught up to him. After being in prison for some 3 and a half years await trial for the murder of Terry Carter, the former Death Row mogul was formerly sentenced to 28 years in prison, pleading no content to voluntary manslaughter. As broken down by TMZ:
The 53-year-old will get credit for time served — he’s been in jail awaiting trial for around 3 1/2 years. He’ll also be on parole for 3 years after serving his prison sentence.
Suge’s sentence is stiffer than a typical voluntarily manslaughter because he had a prior felony conviction in 1997. He also got an extra 5 years because the Carter killing was deemed a “serious and violent” felony. He got an additional year due to his truck being a deadly weapon.
