Sloan, 51, survived his injuries but Carter, 55, was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
Matthew Fletcher, who formally took over as Knight's attorney during a hearing in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday, told reporters that the video would help exonerate his client because it showed him fleeing an ambush at the fast-food restaurant.
"When you're attacked ... you have every right to defend yourself," he said. "There's no duty to retreat, there's no duty to hide or cower.
The two men trade blows through the driver's window of the truck for about 20 seconds before Knight reverses the vehicle, knocking Sloan to the ground.
A few seconds later the truck reappears, accelerating through the driveway and running over both Sloan and Carter as two other men scamper out of the way.'
So if you are attacked- assuming that was the case- and you get away- somehow you get to come back and mow down people?
