Suge Knight Collapses in court after bail is set at $25 Million

Death Row Records founder Suge Knight collapsed in court after a judge set his bail at $25 million on Friday.

Knight, who is known for his histrionics in court, slumped over in his seat and hit his head on the chair as he slid to the floor.

This marked the second medical emergency the 49-year-old former CEO has suffered during his legal proceedings in a little more than a month. Several deputies rushed to his aid after he collapsed in his seat and he was later taken to a hospital.

His lawyer Matt Fletcher told reporters that Knight collapsed from lack of food and medication for
his diabetes and blood clots, which were diagnosed last year. He added that the music mogul did not eat 
anything before the hearing and last took his medication on Thursday.

 Knight has collapsed in court on several previous occasions. His medical ailments range from “stomach problems” to blindness in one or both eyes.

Outside the courtroom, Knight’s attorney, Matthew Fletcher, complained about his client being unfairly treated by the system for running over 2 men, killing one of them with his SUV.

“He’s being treated worse than Charles Manson,” Fletcher told the Associated Press. Fletcher said his client is a diabetic who has a blood clot, and has not received his medication since Thursday.

Fletcher had asked the judge to set Knight’s bail at $2 million.
