Summary
Harris filed a complaint against [Knight] in 2002, alleging she and her ex-husband Michael Harris had helped bankroll Death Row and were thus entitled to half of the earnings generated by the label, which once counted Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre and Tupac Shakur among its roster of artists. According to court papers, Harris claimed Knight was trying to "destroy her ability to lay claim to her rightful share of the ownership and profits" of the company.
In March of last year, without even going to trial, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Ronald M. Sohigian sided with Harris, ordering Knight to pay her $107 million. The judge cited Knight's inability to cooperate in the court inquiries as the chief reason for the ruling. (Knight filed a countersuit in February, but that did not nullify the judgment.)"We're going to follow Suge Knight to whatever court he runs to," Michael Harris' lawyer, Stephen Goldberg, said. "We'll follow him to the courts of hell if necessary, but he's going to satisfy this judgment."See the full content of this document
