Suge Knight Loses Bid to Overturn Prison Sentence


Seven years ago former Death Row Records CEO, Suge Knight, was sentenced to 28 years in prison on manslaughter charges [click here if you missed that].

This week Suge was denied his request to have his sentence tossed out...

From XXL
Suge Knight's attempt to get his 28-year prison sentence for manslaughter overturned has reportedly been shot down by a Los Angeles judge.
After the former Death Row Records cofounder filed an appeal of his sentence in 2023, a judge handed down the final decision on Tuesday (March 4), according to Rolling Stone. Los Angeles County Judge Laura F. Priver denied Knight's request, citing that it took too long to file and was "not sincere."
"It is clear that the petitioner was not as isolated or as helpless to act as he wishes this court to believe," Judge Priver wrote. "He was able to file the writ in a timely manner had he chosen to do so."
Suge Kight's attorney, David Kenner, did not agree with the ruling. He tells RS, "I find this decision to be shocking and unconscionable. I think the court has grossly erred in the decision it rendered. I think it is legally improper and the court did not follow the law."
Knight claimed in his 2023 petition that his defense was hindered by issues with his permanent prison housing, improper assistance from his previous lawyer, the Coronavirus pandemic and Suge losing sight in one eye.

Say what you want about Sug, but he was always real. You knew what was up when you approached him. He didn't pretend to be anything other than what his was.

That said, I'm glad a nicca is stayin' where he is.

Sell-out snoopy just breathed a sigh of relief. It would have been funny to see him hiding out at Martha's (or maybe with Dump) if Suge got out. What a punk-ass snoopy has become.
