Suge Knight isn’t getting a discount on his bail.
Former rap mogul Knight, who’s currently facing murder and attempted murder charges, lost a bid to have his $10 million bail reduced during a court hearing on Friday.
During the hearing, Judge Ronald Coen also denied a motion to provide private medical care for Knight.
Knight’s team has complained about the conditions of his incarceration in Men’s Central Jail, with one attorney arguing, “They wouldn’t allow this at Guantanamo Bay.” Earlier this year, an attorney for Knight contended that his client has been denied access to hot water and a blanket. A spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has denied those claims, saying that Knight is “receiving the appropriate treatment.”
Knight reportedly suffers from diabetes, glaucoma and a blood clot near one of his lungs.
The former Death Row Records boss faces murder and attempted murder charges stemming from a January hit-and-run incident in Compton, California, during which he allegedly ran over Cle Sloan and Terry Carter, killing Carter and injuring Sloan. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Earlier this month, Knight lost his bid to have the murder case dismissed.
Knight has also been hit with a wrongful death lawsuit over the January incident.
