A civil wrongful death lawsuit involving Death Row Records founder Marion “Suge” Knight has ended in a mistrial.
A Los Angeles Superior Court judge declared the mistrial Wednesday after the jury reported they were hopelessly deadlocked 7-5 in favor of the plaintiff, Lillian Carter, the widow of Terry Carter.

Knight pleaded no contest to voluntary manslaughter in the criminal case and is serving a 28-year sentence.
