August 1993: Snoop Charged With Murder
In 1993, Snoop and his bodyguard were arrested and charged with murder in the shooting death of Phillip Woldermarian, reportedly a rival gang member to the Rollin' 20's Crips that Snoop represented. Prosecutors charged that Snoop was driving the car from which the fatal shots were fired, although with the criminal defense help of the infamous Johnnie Cochran, who also represented one Orenthal James Simpson, Snoop beat the charge, and got a pretty great single out of it, too.
