text: A man who was run over by Suge Knight has refused to testify against the rap mogul, defiantly stating in court that he is 'no snitch'. Cle 'Bone' Sloan, 45, was crushed beneath the wheels of Knight's pickup truck outside a burger stand in January, leaving him with two fractured ankles and wounds on to his head, knees and shoulder. But he claimed from the witness stand of the Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday that he does not remember the specifics of the confrontation, in which his companion Terry Carter, 55, was killed. 'No snitch': Cle 'Bone' Sloan, 45, (left, file photo) told the court that he 'will not be used to send Suge Knight (pictured right last week) to prison'. Knight is accused of murdering Terry Carter, 55, and trying to murder Sloan, whom he left with broken bones and other injuries . Suge is accused of murdering Carter and trying to murder Sloan, but claims he was ambushed and ran the men down in an escape attempt. Speaking to the court, Sloan said: 'I don't want it to get misconstrued that I told on this man. 'I'm no snitch. I will not be used to send Suge Knight to prison.' At one point he even refused to confirm that he recognized Knight in court. He also said he was only there because he had been subpoenaed. Knight, who is diabetic and has previously collapsed in trial hearings, is being kept in jail while the hearings proceed. Last week he came to court in a wheelchair, which his lawyers described as a 'ploy' to humiliate him. The judge said that if he did not need it to walk he would not have to use it again. At Monday's hearing Sloan even seemed to speak in Knight's defense - telling the court that he punched him through the window of the truck earlier in the fatal encounter. Strapped in: Knight, pictured above on April 8, is being held on a $25million bail. He came to court last week strapped to a wheelchair . He later agreed with Knight's defense attorney when he said Knight 'hadn't attacked you in any form, fashion or manner.' Summarizing his position, Sloan said: ''Every day, I tried to forget it,' Sloan said. 'I just know, I screwed up, and Terry's dead.' In response to his apparent memory lapse, judge Ronald Coen said that 'this witness is being deceptive.' Killed: Terry Carter, 55, was killed after Knight ran him down. He has claimed the killing was legal as he was trying to escape . Knight was caught on camera running over Sloan and Carter during the January 29 encounter. Sloan and Carter were both involved with Straight Outta Compton, an upcoming film about the rap group N.W.A. Sloan's testimony was offered during a preliminary hearing Monday during which a judge will determine whether there's enough evidence for Knight to stand trial on any of the charges. Authorities contend Knight intentionally hit Sloan and Carter. But Knight's attorney Matt Fletcher says his client was ambushed and was trying to escape an attack when he hit the men. Fletcher pressed Sloan on his feelings toward Knight and whether he was 'enraged' at him on the day of the incident. Sloan said he was mad, but disputed that he told detectives that he was enraged. Knight, 49, was a key player in the gangster rap scene that flourished in the 1990s, and his label once listed Dr. Dre, Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg among its artists. He lost control of the company after it was forced into bankruptcy. He has prior felony convictions for armed robbery and assault with a gun. He pleaded no contest in 1995 and was sentenced to five years' probation for assaulting two rap entertainers at a Hollywood recording studio in 1992. He was sentenced in February 1997 to prison for violating terms of that probation by taking part in a fight at a Las Vegas hotel hours before Shakur was fatally wounded in a drive-by attack as he rode in Knight's car just east of the Las Vegas Strip. Shakur's slaying remains unsolved. Knight's court hearings already have become dramatic affairs — he fired one set of attorneys during a hearing and medical conditions sent him to the hospital four times from courthouse appearances. He complained last week when deputies brought him into court handcuffed to a wheelchair and has detailed health woes, including weight loss and blindness in one eye, when he's been allowed to speak in court. Upset: Carter's family gasped as they saw prosecutors handling a picture of his dead body in court . The appearance of fragility comes in sharp contrast to Knight's violent reputation and his once-feared status in the music industry. He faces up to life in prison if convicted of killing Carter. Knight is being held on $25 million bail, an amount his defense claims is excessive. According to the New York Daily News, Carter's two daughters gasped and walked out of court after seeing prosecutors holding a picture of their father's dead body. Crystal Carter reportedly said outside court: 'I loved my dad, I miss him.'
