One time hip hop mogul Suge Knight and comedian Katt Williams have both pleaded not guilty to those robbery charges. The two men, as previously reported, are accused of stealing a photographer’s camera last year.

Knight and Williams appeared in an LA court yesterday in order to enter their pleas, which they were having to do for a second time after a judge recently decided that they should stand trial over the incident.

They are accused of taking a camera from photographer Leslie Redden in September 2014, who also says that she was injured in the scuffle. Knight has denied handling the camera, but said that he was angered that Redden was attempting to take photographs of his young son. Williams admits handling the camera, but says that he only did so in an attempt to delete the photographs and was not the person who took it from Redden.

There was some mild drama in the courtroom when Knight, who has been in custody awaiting trial on murder charges since January, held up a birthday message for his son to TV cameras filming the hearing. “If he does it again, I will shackle his hands to a chair”, the judge told his lawyer.

The next hearing in the robbery case was set for 30 Nov.
