Marion Suge Knight has parole hearing for assault on Orlando Anderson in 1996

Marion Suge Knight is in court and custody for his role in the 1996 assault on Compton Crip member Orlando Anderson in a Las Vegas MGM Grand hotel the same day Tupac Shakur was murdered.

At the Probation Revocation hearing, Annette Machuca, an employee of the hotel, claims that Suge Knight kicked Orlando Anderson more than 3 times. Orlando Anderson claimed that Suge Knight was actually helping him, but Las Vegas homicide detective Brent Becker claimed that Anderson told him that Tupac and Knight beat him up. Bill Hodgeman prosecuted the case.

Knight was eventually sentenced to nine years in prison for his role in the fight which was a violation of his parole.

Judge J. Stephen Czulenger oversaw the hearing.
