Former rap music mogul Marion "Suge" Knight was fleeing for his life when he allegedly ran over two people – killing one of them – in Compton on Thursday afternoon, his attorney James Blatt says.

A group of people attacked Knight and threatened to kill him and were “attempting to drag him outside of the vehicle when he made an effort to escape ... in fear for his life,” Blatt told the Los Angeles Times on Friday morning.

But police have a different view. After interviewing the onetime hip-hop mogul, Los Angeles County detectives arrested him for murder.

According to the cops, this isn't just a hit and run. Surge allegedly followed the two victims, deliberately hit them, and backed over them to make sure he'd done the job. Wonderful young man, another one of Obola's "sons."

If the deceased individuals had threatened to kill him, I’ll give him a pass. Some people NEED killin’!

[ColdOne]

I was wondering what his defense was going to be.

[Da Coyote]

Hands up.

Don’t drive.

[a fool in paradise]

How does one become a “former rap mogul”?

Stop having hit artists?

Stop having any artists?

Recant the music scene?

when he allegedly ran over two people

ALLEGEDLY

Was someone else driving?

Were the people faking their injuries?

I convict this JINO (Journalist In Name Only) of being retarded, sir.

[cripplecreek]

He was backing up to check to see if they were really threatening him or was it all a horrible mistake.

[denydenydeny]

Straight under Compton.

[canuck_conservative]

Behold the effect of lawyers threatening to sue.

(And people wonder why lawyers have such a low image in society).

[a fool in paradise]

He could get a job in the Obama administration. They are always throwing someone under the bus.

[rktman]

Obvious case of self defense based on his fame and fortune. :>}

In 2006, Knight filed for bankruptcy. He put his Malibu mansion up for sale the following year. In 2008, he was arrested in Las Vegas on suspicion of drug possession and aggravated assault. The next year, he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor battery.

[GeronL]

I guess he stopped mogul-ing

[Noamie]

I guess he doesn’t tread lightly.

Maybe he should reverse some of his tire-d life decisions and move forward.

[Noamie]

“He could get a job in the Obama administration. They are always throwing someone under the bus.”

Heck, he was probably running guns, too. He deserves a czar position.

Even Oprah doesn't believe this crap.

Not any more! someone shot him to death right after he bailed out @ the Sheriff’s office! Good riddance!
