Suge Knight Will Remain Behind Bars, Bail Review Postponed / Bobby Shmurda’s Attorney Gives An Update On His Case


A bail review hearing scheduled for former Death Row mogul Marion “Suge” Knight, who was charged with murder following a hit-and-run that killed one man and injured another last month, has been delayed until March.
Due to the delay, a judge says Knight should stay behind bars until the next court hearing.
The 49-year-old’s attorney and a prosecutor asked for a delay in the bail review hearing, as both sides expressed needing more time to prepare.
He was officially charged last week (February 2) for one count of murder, one count of attempted murder, two counts of hit-and-run.
If convicted, he faces the possibility of life in prison.
Suge Knight was arrested for murder in connection to a fatal hit and run that occurred last week (January 29) on the set of the upcoming N.W.A. biopic, titled “Straight Outta Compton,” in Los Angeles.
According to Knight, he was involved in a fight with three men on the set of a movie filming in Compton after the music mogul appeared uninvited and was asked to leave. When Knight got into his car, he allegedly reversed his vehicle and struck a man who was identified as “a friend,” according to his attorney. The man, named Terry, was later pronounced dead at a local hospital.
Knight is due back in court March 20.
                 

According to Montgomery, the court has turned this case into a show because based on the average household income in Shmurda’s neighborhood, his bail is too high for the charges brought upon him. He also touched on why the first bail package was denied and went through complications, due to the fact people trying to become new management for Bobby put up collateral that was owned by more than one person. Now they’re trying to put together a new bail package and present it to the judge in hopes of him being released.
Mr. Montgomery also spoke on the impact of his case being tried in the New York media, because of the high profile status surrounding it and how the public would perceive a “Brooklyn gangster” with all these charges in a “Manhattan courtroom” without merit.
