Suge Knight ordered to stand trial on murder, attempted murder charges

American record producer Suge Knight will stand trial on murder and attempted murder charges after the former rap music mogul struck two men with his pickup truck in January.

Superior Court Judge Ronald Coen made the ruling after concluding a hearing that focused heavily on testimony from Cle "Bone" Sloan, who was hit outside a Compton burger stand, the New York Post reported.

Sloan told detectives that he attacked Knight but testified that he didn't remember the fight and did not want to be a "snitch."

The judge also heard from the lead detective investigating the case and watched security camera footage of the crash. The camera caught a limited view of the parking lot but shows Knight struggling with Sloan through the window of his truck before putting the vehicle in reverse, striking Sloan, then hitting him again and running over Carter while fleeing the scene.

The accident in which the 49-year-old music executive is involved, killed one person and seriously injured the other.

The co-founder and former CEO of Death Row Records can face life imprisonment if convicted in the case.
