Suge Knight concludes 28-year plea deal in murder case

EXCLUSIVE

14h00 PT – The plea agreement has just been unveiled in court, and Suge will have 28 years in prison after arguing unchallenged about a murder. The 53-year-old man will receive a credit for the time spent – he is in jail awaiting trial for about three and a half years. He will also be on parole for three years after serving his prison sentence.

Suge's sentence is more severe than a voluntary intentional homicide because he had already been convicted of felony in 1997. He was also sentenced to five more years because Carter's murder was considered a "serious and violent" crime. He had an extra year because his truck was a deadly weapon.

Knight broke a joke … sort of. Part of the judge's instructions to the accused include a sentence on the possibility of deportation following a conviction, to which Suge said, "So, ICE can pick me up." There was a little laugh.

Suge Knight has reached an agreement in his murder case … TMZ has learned.

We broke the story … Suge ran on Terry in January 2015, he fled the Tam & # 39; s Burgers parking lot in Compton. TMZ published the surveillance video it showed that Chevalier had thrown his truck backwards, knocked over a man, and then led to Terry … killing him.
