Video After The Jump
Terry Carter's family doesn't buy what Suge Knight is selling when it comes to the man he once called a friend.
Carter was killed when Suge ran over him with his truck after hitting another man he had been fighting with, Cle "Bone" Sloane. The incident happened at a hamburger restaurant on January 29, following another fight Suge was involved in on the Compton set of the N.W.A. movie Straight Outta Compton.
Knight's legal team is banking on video of the fatal hit-and-run exonerating their client. They're argument is that Sloane attacked him and Knight took off in his truck because he was in fear for his life. The resulting death of Carter was an accident.
Carter's family thinks the video released by TMZ proves just the opposite. They say Knight was so determined to kill Sloane with his truck after being attacked that it put Carter in the position of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

In their estimation Carter's death was murder and self defense had nothing to do with it.
"The death was caused by unnecessary acts of violence initiated by Cle [Bone] Sloan attacking Mr. Knight and Mr. Knight choosing to retaliate by using his motor vehicle as a deadly weapon." Carter's family lawyer told TMZ.
The attorney added that Suge is lying about Carter being the one who set him up to be ambushed by Sloane.
