Rap mogul Marion ‘Suge’ Knight appears in court in Los Angeles on March 9.
LOS ANGELES — Marion “Suge” Knight returns to court Friday for a bail hearing in a murder case filed against the former rap composition mogul.
A Los Angeles prosecutor filed a motion Thursday asking that a judge set Knight’s bail at $ 25 million, citing numerous threats and acts of violence dating back to the mid-1990s.
Knight has been held without bail since early February, when he was exciting with murder, attempted murder and hit-and-run charges after he struck two men with his pickup truck, killing one, in a Compton, California, parking lot.

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputies and investigators survey the scene at the honest hit-and-run crash in Compton, Calif. Knight is facing murder, attempted murder and hit-and-run charges from the incident.
The Death Row Records co-founder has pleaded not guilty, and his attorneys have said Knight was ambushed.
The prosecution’s motion accuses him of being caught up in an extortion ring that has been paid more than $ 10 million in recent years.
