Suge Knight Fired His Lawyers and
Is Having More Health Troubles
As the court hearings drag, hip-hop
mogul Suge Knight's health continues its decline. So much so that Knight on
Monday told
the L.A. Superior Court judge presiding over his fatal
hit-and-run case from earlier this year that he needs better medical
treatment. He says he's experiencing partial blindness (one eye completely, and
another, slightly) and rapid weight loss, and claims he doesn't understand
what's happening with his case. After his latest hearing, Knight headed to the
hospital for the third time since his arrest, according to the AP.
Knight is still being held without
bail on murder and attempted murder charges stemming from a fatal car crash he
was involved in at Tam's Burgers in Compton, California, as well as for his
less-than-favorable track record. At Monday's brief hearing, a slimmer Knight
also inexplicably told the judge that his current attorneys were no longer
representing him, according to the Los Angeles Times. He said he fired
them, which makes David Kenner the second lawyer Knight's axed in this case.
Despite his statements, Knight's
lawyers argued he had been jailed too long and deserved a hearing to set bail.
The current judge transferred Knight's hit-and-run case, along with his newest
one (he allegedly stole a celebrity photographer's camera), to a different
courtroom so traveling would be easier. Knight
has pleaded not guilty; the next hearing is March 9.
