Toi-Lin Kelly, the fiancee of Death Row Records founder Marion "Suge" Knight will be spending the next three years in prison.
The L.A. Times reports that In October 2017, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Douglas Sortino, sentenced Kelly to five years on probation for selling surveillance footage connected to Knight's forthcoming murder trial to TMZ for $55,000. A previous judge had prohibited the sale of the recording to media.
On Friday, February 2, Sortino ruled that Kelly violated the terms of her probation by helping Knight circumvent a court order limiting his jailhouse phone communications. She allegedly helped set up interviews between the business mogul and BET for a documentary about his former record label.
Sortino said that Kelly had "basically slapped him in the face after he granted her probation."
During the court proceeding Kelly asked for leniency. Saying her 8-year old son would be without both parents if she went to prison. Those pleas fell of deaf ears.
As for Knight, he is currently in jail awaiting trial for an alleged 2015 hit-and-run incident in Compton that injured his rival Cle "Bone" Sloan and left Terry Carter, 55, dead.
He's charged with one count of murder, one count of attempted murder and two counts of hit-and-run. If convicted Knight is facing a life sentence.
