Los Angeles, CA — Marion “Suge” Knight, who founded Death Row Records in the 1990’s, recently told a judge that he is going blind and has other major health problems.The 49-year-old said he has already lost full sight in one eye, and about 85 percent in the other. Knight also said that he suffers from bloodclots, and has lost more than 35 pounds since being shot six times at a nightclub last year. He added that he is receiving extremely poor medical care in prison.
Bad timing
Knight blurted all of out this out during a recent court appearance, but the judge repeatedly admonished him not to interrupt the hearing. Afterwards, Knight reportedly sat down and muttered an expletive, and deputies placed a trash can in front of him after he started up his tirade again.
Bigger trouble
Knight, who has been in and out of trouble for years, is currently facing charges of murder, attempted murder, and hit-and-run after he allegedly used his car to run over two men killing one of them.
He faces up to life in prison if convicted.
Meanwhile, he has reportedly fired his lawyers and is seeking new legal representation.
