Suge Knight Hospitalized
By Sheldon Pearce.
Suge Knight has been hospitalized, TMZ reports. The Death Row Records co-founder and CEO, who is currently awaiting trial for murder, was reportedly moved to Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center for treatment of an ongoing condition related to blood clots. He is in stable condition. According to TMZ, Knight has been periodically taken to the hospital for treatment during his time in custody. He has reportedly claimed that secluded conditions in jail have been detrimental to his health.
In 2015, Knight was charged with one count of murder, one count of attempted murder, and two counts of hit and run for allegedly hitting and killing a man named Terry Carter. The former mogul could face life in state prison if he’s convicted. Last year, Knight claimed that his seclusion in jail violated his human rights.
