Knox was charged after an officer found the YouTube video, performed by Knox under the name Mayhem Mal of the Ghetto Superstar Committee.<\/p>\n

The video taunts by name two officers involved in the drug arrest and mentions Richard Poplawski, who’s on death row for killing three Pittsburgh police officers in 2009.<\/p>\n

Knox’s lawyer says he wasn’t trying to intimidate the officers and didn’t intend the video to be posted online.<\/p>\n
