Former rap mogul Marion “Suge” Knight is due in court today for a hearing to determine if there is enough evidence to require him to stand trial on robbery and criminal threats charges involving a female photographer whose camera was allegedly taken in Beverly Hills just over a year ago.

Knight — who is awaiting trial in an unrelated murder case — is charged with one felony count each of second-degree robbery and criminal threats involving the Sept. 5, 2014, run-in with the photographer. Comedian Micah “Katt” Williams, 44, is charged along with Knight. Facing one felony count of second-degree robbery, Williams is free on bail.

The two are set to appear before Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Ronald S. Coen, who found sufficient evidence April 16 to require Knight to proceed to trial on a separate case charging him with one felony count each of murder, attempted murder and hit-and-run for allegedly running down two men in Compton on Jan. 29, killing one and injuring the other.

Knight — while free on bail in the robbery case — allegedly drove his pickup truck backward and forward, killing Terry Carter, 55, and injuring 51- year-old Cle Stone, about 2:55 p.m. Jan. 29 in the parking lot of Tam’s Burgers in the 1200 block of West Rosecrans Avenue near Central Avenue.

Knight’s attorney, Thomas Mesereau, called that case one of “self- defense,” telling Coen at a hearing in July that his client was alone and unarmed and fled “when his life was threatened.”

Knight remains jailed in lieu of $10 million bail.
