Death Row Records co-founder Marion “Suge” Knight faces 28 years in state prison after he pleaded no contest on Thursday to voluntary manslaughter.
The years-long case involving the 53-year-old rap mogul came to an end this week after he reached a plea agreement over his involvement in the 2015 hit-and-run case of 55-year-old Terry Carter. Knight, who has been in prison for more than three years, will get credit for time served and will be on parole for three years upon release, the L.A. County District Attorney’s Office said.
