Former Rap Mogul Marion “Suge” Knight Collapses in Court After Bail Hearing

Marion “Suge” Knight collapsed in a courtroom Friday after a judge ordered him held on $25 million bail in a murder case. “Suge” Knight, the 49-year-old co-founder of Death Row Records, has pleaded not guilty to murder, attempted murder and hit-and-run charges. Knight was arrested in January 2015 on suspicion of murder after he allegedly ran over two men with his truck following an argument on a film set in Compton, California.

25 million dollars

Former rap music mogul Marion “Suge” Knight collapsed in a courtroom Friday shortly after a judge ordered him held on $25 million bail in a murder case.

Bailiffs cleared the courtroom, paramedics arrived with a stretcher a few minutes later and an ambulance was seen leaving the courthouse.

Defense attorney Matthew Fletcher said Knight was unconscious when the lawyer left the courtroom and an update on his condition was not immediately available.

Fletcher said his client, who is diabetic and has a blood clot, previously told him that he hadn’t received any medication since Thursday.

Knight hit his head on a chair when he fell after the bail hearing, Fletcher said.

Hell, I think I would pass out too if a judge ordered bail at $25 million.
