Описание: (3 Feb 2015) SUGE KNIGHT RUSHED TO HOSPITAL AFTER PLEADING NOT GUILTY TO MURDER
Former rap music mogul Suge Knight pleaded not guilty Tuesday (3 FEB. 2015) to murder and attempted murder charges before complaining of chest pain and being rushed to a hospital.
No further information about his condition was immediately available, Los Angeles County sheriff's Officer John Gardner said.
Knight's attorney David Kenner said he was on the way to the hospital to see his client but had no further details.
The former rap music mogul is accused of intentionally running down two men, including a friend, in Compton on Thursday after an argument on a movie set.
Knight remains in custody and appeared in court wearing orange jail attire.
James Blatt, an attorney also representing Knight, has said the collision was an accident that occurred as Knight was trying to flee an altercation in which he was assaulted.
The 49-year-old Knight could face life in prison if convicted.
On Monday, prosecutors charged Knight with killing 55-year-old Terry Carter and attempting to kill 51-year-old Cle "Bone" Sloan. Knight also faces two charges of hit-and-run.
In addition, Knight's $2 million bail was revoked after a court commissioner agreed with authorities that he was a potential flight risk and could intimidate witnesses.
The ruling came after homicide detectives told the bail commissioner that Knight could face a lengthy prison sentence because of a violent criminal past, said Los Angeles County sheriff's spokeswoman Nicole Nishida.
