Rap Mogul Collapses On News Of $25 Million Bail
[su_r_sky_ad]Death Row Records’ founder Suge Knight, jailed on a murder charge, has a reputation as one of the toughest guys in the music industry – and a mixed medical history. And given some of the claims made by his family and defense team, one has to wonder what this was all about:
Rap mogul Suge Knight collapsed in a courtroom Friday shortly after a judge set his bail at $25 million in his pending murder case.
The co-founder of Death Row Records was walking back to the defense table after the judge initially left the bench so his lawyer could address a medical issue.
Knight hit the ground and appeared motionless when the judge cleared the courtroom.
Lawyer Matthew Fletcher came out about 10 minutes later and told Knight’s family that the burly inmate was still unconscious.
Knight’s mother started crying in the hallway, asking for more information.
“I’m very upset. I’m very upset,” Knight’s father told the Daily News. “We want him to be healthy. We just want to know he’s okay. We can deal with everything else. We just need him to be okay.”
Fletcher said Knight didn’t get a breakfast Friday morning and wasn’t receiving proper medication in custody. He said Knight has diabetes, glaucoma and a blood clot near his lung and was being kept in solitary confinement without hot water or a blanket.
Before he passed out, Knight was “sweating like a pig,” Fletcher said.
“He came through the door, he barely got to the table and he collapsed, literally head-first. Not one of these Maury Povich falls. Head-first down to the ground, that’s it, that’s where he lay,” Fletcher said.
An ambulance took Knight to a hospital, and Fletcher said he was awaiting an update late Friday morning.
The medical emergency came after Fletcher called the prosecution’s request for $25 million bail both “absurd” and “ludicrous” in his argument for a “more reasonable” bail of $2 million.

He ran his victims over in cold blood. I guess their lives were unimportant, in Suge’s view.

Trees is oblivious to not-so-subtle facetiousness.
Nice derp, Trees.

Dunno, but I’m sure it’s a connection between rap music and a thoughtfully copied and pasted article from the American Greatness , Jesus, apple pie institutions opinion of Hillary and her e-mail account.
