Suge Knight Strikes $1.5 Million Settlement to Avert Retrial in Wrongful Death Case
Suge Knight agreed to a $1.5 million settlement on the eve of a retrial over claims he negligently killed a Compton dad.
Speaking outside the courthouse after the afternoon hearing, Carter’s widow wipes tears remembering the husband she met in high school and knew for 40 years before Knight left him for dead in the parking lot of a Tam’s Burgers in Compton. An actor and self-described non-active gang member named Cle “Bone” Sloan was working as a technical advisor on Straight Outta Compton that day and got into a verbal altercation with Knight at the movie’s base camp, according to prosecutors and the civil lawsuit. He said after the call, he felt “anxious about being able to competently and energetically try this case.” Judge Long rejected Kenner’s request multiple times but signaled he was on the verge of granting the motion heading into Tuesday’s hearing.
