Former Death Row Records owner Marion “Suge” Knight has reportedly pleaded with a judge to see his parents and gain back some privileges in prison.
According to reports, Knight is concerned his parents health may cut their lives short before he gets out.
In fact, they’re in such poor health, Suge’s filed new docs in his murder case — obtained by TMZ — asking the judge to allow them to visit him in L.A. County jail. He also wants phone privileges so he can speak to them. Suge says he’s been walled off from his family — missing out on time with his sister and 6-year-old son as well — and he was never given a heads up that his communication with them would end. (TMZ)
In February, details about Suge losing multiple jail privileges surfaced online.
Former rap mogul Marion “Suge” Knight’s access to visitors and phone calls have been completely cut off at the request of sheriff’s investigators, court records shows. Court records show Los Angeles Superior Court Judge William C. Ryan on Friday cut Knight’s access to phone calls and non-attorney visitors. The order was issued at the request of a sheriff’s detective investigating Knight’s murder case, in which he is charged with running over two men, killing one, outside a Compton burger stand in January 2015.

Knight fired attorney Tom Mesereau following a disagreement in January.
Our sources say Suge and Mesereau had a bitter disagreement over confidential information. We’re told Suge claims the info made its way to authorities and he became enraged. Here’s what’s odd … the judge allowed our camera in the courtroom but then pulled the plug a minute after Suge’s case was called and then cleared the entire courtroom so no member of the media or public could hear the reason for the lawyer/client split.

Last year, Mesereau said his client may have a brain tumor.
Even more serious — Mesereau says Suge suffers from numbness on one entire side of his body and doctors have told him he might have a brain tumor. As such, he wants a place that has full access to a competent medical facility. He’s currently locked up on $10 million bail. (TMZ)
