Suge Knight, Katt Williams Ordered to Stand Trial on Felony Robbery Charges Involving Female Photographer
Katt Williams and Suge Knight have both been ordered to stand trial on felony robbery charges stemming from a late 2014 incident involving a female photographer.
The New York Daily News reports a Los Angles criminal court judge announced his decision after prosecutors played a videotape showing Knight allegedly ordering the Beverly Hills attack and Williams walking away with the victim's camera.
The decision came after prosecutors played videotape in court that allegedly depicted Knight ordering the crime against female photographer Leslie Redden in Beverly Hills last year and Williams walking away with the woman's camera.
Attorneys for Knight, who also faces a charge of making criminal threats, contend Redden caused the entire incident by invading their client's space and recording images of his son just days after the 90s rap mogul had been shot in a nightclub ambush.
"Why you taking pictures of my motherf---ing son?" Knight was heard yelling at Redden in the video. "I'll tell you what. I got a bitch that will beat your motherf---ing ass." Later, Knight can also be overheard screaming, "Get that bitch over here. Get her s-t."
On Tuesday, Redden testified she hit her head multiple times during the subsequent assault and ended up with a concussion as well as long term physical damage that impacts her ability to work. She added that she did not take any photos of the child and was intent on getting pics of Williams and not Knight.
"I just remember looking in his eyes and realizing it was getting very dangerous," she said of Knight. Under oath, Redden also later admitted that she uploaded the video to YouTube and has since filed a civil suit against both men.
Meanwhile, attorneys for Williams argued felony charges against him were not warranted because he has cooperated with authorities through every step of the investigation and always believed Redden's camera would be returned to her.
