Suge Knight was up to his game of trolls yesterday (May 28) when he didn’t think his robbery case he shares with Katt Williams was a big deal and he refused to leave his cell.

Since the guards who allowed this happened weren’t bout that life, a Superior Court Judge put his gavel down and said the fallen Hip-Hop mogul was going to be “forced” to come to his hearing if all else fails. Suge apparently got the memo and was back in court today.

Attorney Matt Fletcher contends in a motion filed before a hearing Friday that murder, attempted murder and hit-and-run charges filed against the Death Row Records co-founder should be thrown out based on the testimony of a man seriously injured in January. Knight has pleaded not guilty to running over Cle “Bone” Sloan and another man who died from his injuries.

Sloan refused to identify Knight while testifying during a preliminary hearing last month, but gave detectives a lucid account after being struck by Knight’s pickup and said he started a fight in the parking lot of a Compton burger stand in late January.

“There is nowhere in this transcript that Mr. Sloan ever identifies Marion Knight, the defendant, as a murderer,” Fletcher wrote. “There is nowhere in the entire transcript that Mr. Sloan even identifies Marion Knight as a driver of the red truck in question; the red truck that hit the victims.

Knight is also scheduled for a hearing in a separate robbery case that a judge delayed. The former rap mogul told deputies he was too sick to come to court, but Superior Court Judge Ronald Coen said he would order Knight forcibly brought to court on Friday if necessary.

“No one refuses to come to my court,” Coen said Wednesday.

Barring any last-minute shenanigans from Suge, his murder trial will begin on July 7.
