Welcome to today's podcast, where we delve into the latest updates surrounding Suge Knight's retrial. As he faces a second wrongful death trial for the 2015 hit-and-run that killed Compton businessman Terry Carter, Knight is stubbornly insisting that his longtime attorney, David Kenner, remain on the case, despite Kenner's repeated requests to withdraw.

During a recent hearing, Kenner expressed his frustration, stating, "I’ve had a remedial breakdown in communication with Mr. Knight.” He's worried about conflicts of interest and has not been able to prepare adequately for the trial, which previously ended in a hung jury.

Knight, appearing via video from prison, claimed, "I don’t talk to my counsel," insisting that he wants a fair trial and that his calls aren't being answered. Meanwhile, Judge Thomas Long has ordered jury selection to begin, saying, "I stand by my ruling."

As the trial approaches, Kenner believes Knight still has a chance to win, stating, "We have a superb chance of winning in a subsequent trial." The case has garnered attention with its dramatic history, including graphic surveillance footage of the incident.

As we prepare for opening statements and testimony next week, the tensions between Knight and his attorney promise to bring additional layers to this unfolding legal saga. Stay tuned for further updates.
