Suge Knight Agrees To $1.5 Million Settlement For Fatal Hit-And-Run & Avoids New Trial, Says He Didn’t Want To Put The Victim’s Family Through More Pain

Suge Knight is cutting a check to avoid another day in court.

The former music mogul has agreed to pay $1.5 million to the family of Terry Carter, the man he ran over and k*lled with his truck back in 2015. Carter’s wife and two daughters will each receive $500,000.

Knight appeared virtually from San Diego’s Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility on Tuesday (Apr. 29) and accepted the terms of the wrongful de@th settlement, bringing the nearly decade-long legal battle to a close. The agreement blocks what would’ve been a second trial. Had Knight not settled, jury selection was set to begin Tuesday.

In a statement to Rolling Stone, Knight insisted the hit-and-run was not deliberate:

“Terry was a friend of mine. It definitely wasn’t done intentionally. It wasn’t done to bring harm to him. One of the reasons I settled [is] I got respect for Terry, so that means I’ve got respect for his family.”

Knight added,

“I didn’t want to put the family through more pain. It’s not that I did anything wrong. I never would have. But I do owe the family an apology because of this thing they had to go through.”

Carter’s widow didn’t hold back about how the loss continues to impact her, saying,

“It’s hard living without him. It’s been very, very difficult. I’ve been in pain ever since January 29, 2015, I haven’t had a good day, not one good day.”

She continued,

“I’m not happy with the outcome of it, at all, but I don’t want to give him another opportunity to put on a clown show and act like a b*tch. Maybe somebody will shank him in jail.”

Knight is currently serving a 28-year sentence and won’t be eligible for parole until October 2034.
