Indicted attorney dismissed from Suge Knight’s murder case
LOS ANGELES — An attorney who was indicted on witness-tampering charges was dismissed Monday from the murder case of rap mogul Marion “Suge” Knight.
Knight previously gave up his right to having a lawyer without potential conflicts of interest so he could keep Thaddeus Culpepper on his defence team.
That decision came last month when Culpepper was under investigation but had not yet been indicted.
Los Angeles County Judge Ronald S. Coen overrode Knight’s decision and removed Culpepper.
