Los Angeles prosecutors are requesting a judge to set Suge Knight's bail at $25 million in his fatal hit-and-run case which killed Terry Carter, according to a motion filed by Deputy District Attorney Cynthia Barnes on Thursday, March 19. The motion cites 31 incidents of Suge's violent history since 2004.

According to the motion, Suge is accused of threatening others or using violence, including threats he made about upcoming movie "Straight Outta Compton". The motion also alleges the music mogul has been involved in money laundering and extortion schemes targeting up-and-coming rappers in the past few years.

Suge allegedly has been involved in an extortion scheme that has netted for more than $10 million. "Apparently when a new artist or rapper comes to either Los Angeles or Las Vegas, he is required to pay a 'tax' to defendant Knight," the motion says.

Cynthia tells Los Angeles Times that Suge was scheduled to appear in Judge Ronald S. Coen's downtown courtroom on Friday for a bail review hearing, where prosecutors will argue for the $25 million bond.

While Suge is being held without bail, prosecutors argue it because no special circumstance allegations have been filed against him. According to prosecutors, setting such a high bail would "protect the public from defendant Knight." They add, "Knight's extensive history of violence, both in this case and over the last 30 years, clearly demonstrates that he is physically incapable of stopping his violent criminal behavior."

Prosecutors claim that at the time of the fatal hit-and-run incident occurred, Suge was out on bail in the case of camera robbery. "Not only did he disregard the constraints of bail, he escalated his criminal behavior to murder and attempted murder," prosecutors say.

Suge's attorney Matthew Fletcher hasn't commented on the issue yet.
