Things are seeming all bad for Suge Knight lately.
The former mogul fired his lawyers and was taken to the hospital yesterday …. again …. for an undisclosed reason. This is the third time he’s been taken to the hospital since his arrest in January.
The Associated Press reports that Suge told a judge that he is suffering from blindness and other health complications before being taken to the hospital. He supposedly is blind in one eye and only has about 15 percent vision left in the other. Knight also told Los Angeles Superior Court Judge James Brandlin that he let go of his attorneys handling his murder case and that his medical treatment was subpar.
Attorney David Kenner and his law partner were the ones that represented Knight since the case was filed. It was reported recently that the former rap mogul (and his now former legal team) acquired video footage of the parking lot incident that lead to the death of Terry Carter and it reportedly showed Cle “Bone” Sloan pointing a gun at Suge.
Suge Knight pleaded not guilty last month to all charges against him (one count of murder, one count of attempted murder and two counts of hit-and-run). He was rushed to a hospital shortly after suffering a serious blood clot that was potentially fatal. Knight was rushed from a courtroom to a hospital for a second time for a stomach issue related to the six bullets he took in a nightclub shooting last summer. Knight was charged for the murder of Terry Carter and the attempted murder of Cle “Bone” Sloan. His bail of $2.2 million was revoked after the Sheriff’s Department determined he was a flight risk and due to his criminal history. Knight remains in jail. If convicted, Suge Knight could face the possibility of life in prison.
Suge’s next court appearance is on March 9, although a bail hearing may not occur until March 20.
My two-cents: SMH. I’m sure he is suffering from all these health ailments. Stress is powerful thing – especially if you killed a man.
