Celebrity Justice
Suge Shakes Off Battery, Drug Charges

As usual, no one wants to get in Suge Knight's way.

Suge and his two bigshot lawyers David Chesnoff and Richard Schonfeld just got the battery and drug charges stemming from that alleged GF beatdown tossed in Vegas. We're told the charges were dismissed because of a "lack of production in discovery and the failure of witnesses to be subpoenaed."

The judge told the prosecution they could go forward with their case without witnesses, but they chose dismissal instead.

We're also told the alleged victim was in court, and the judge told the prosecution they could refile the case.

Meanwhile, Mr. Knight tells TMZ, "God is good, and I've got the best two lawyers in America. Happy holidays."

UPDATE -- The prosecution has now decided to take the case to a grand jury. Mr. Chesnoff tells TMZ, "The grand jury will consider favorable evidence in regard to Mr. Knight, and we look forward to it."

19. Was the girlfriend he beat up and possibly murdered, or had her murdered, ever found? ~ Maybe the smaller guy who knocked out Suge should knock him out again.

21. I was at the court case this morning. They are taking it to the Grand Jury, but he will be back in court within 14 - 15 days. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens next. I do have to say that Suge's lawyers did a great job... He definitely got the best.

24. I hate this guy. Every time I see pictures of him or articles I groan... eventually he will be shot again or something equally as vilent and they will finish him off. Really, I can't wait, the world will be noticeably brighter the day he is eliminated. He's a big, fat pointless slob that only exists to cause discomfort to others.

25. Suge Knight is NOT the teflon man he thinks he is. He's a murderer and everyone knows it! Someday he will pay for all the horrific events he has coordinated - Tupac Shakur's death immediately comes to mind. And THAT'S the name of that tune! What goes around comes around 3 times worse - your day is coming Suge baby!!
