As Suge Knight starts those previously reported legal proceedings against Kanye West over injuries he suffered after a shoot out at a party hosted by the rapper back in 2005, the former Death Row Records mogul could be heading back to court as a defendant too.
He is facing criminal charges in Las Vegas after an incident back in August when he was seen hitting his girlfriend. Although the alleged assault took place three months ago, the charges were only filed with the Las Vegas court this week. As well as assault charges there are drug possession charges related to the incident.
Knight is due in court on 16 Dec where, according to his legal people, the former hip hop chief will plead not-guilty guvnor. His lawyer, Richard Schonfeld, told reporters yesterday: "We're going to vigorously defend him against these charges".
