Suge Knight is trying his best to get out of jail. He seems to be running out of valid excuses and is now just throwing things at the wall to see if they stick.
Knight and his lawyer Thomas Mesereau appeared in court on Friday, July 17 to attempt to have Knight’s bail lowered from the current amount of $10 million, which they deem “excessive.” Prosecutors contend that given Knight’s ever expanding rap sheet, the bail amount is appropriate. This past April, Knight was successful in getting the initial bail amount of $25 million reduced to $10 million, but the judge presiding over Friday’s hearing denied any further lowering of the bail.
In addition to the bail request, Mesereau also claimed that Knight is suffering from failing mental and physical health. He claims Knight is feeling numbness on one side of his body and that a possible brain tumor may be to blame for the numbness. He has petitioned to have Knight moved to a jail in which he would have access to a medical facility.
Additionally, Mesereau claimed Knight is suffering mental anguish because his toilet flushes on its own every 20 minutes and it’s driving him crazy.
Knight has been in jail since January after being arrested and charged with murder for the hit and run incident on the movie set of Straight Outta Compton that resulted in the death of 55-year-old Terry Carter.
