Former hip-hop mogul Marion 'Suge' Knight has been charged with murder and attempted murder after he ran two men over in his truck.
Prosecutors claim the Death Row record label founder deliberately struck a friend - who died - and another man after an argument on a movie set.
Defence attorney James Blatt says Knight, who handed himself in to police, ran the pair over by accident as he tried to escape a vicious attack.
The 49-year-old's initial bail of $2m (£1.3m) was revoked after a court commissioner agreed with authorities that he was a potential flight risk and could intimidate witnesses.
Knight, who was out on bail in a separate robbery case when the men were hit, is scheduled to appear in court in Compton to be arraigned on four felony counts.
