Suge Knight Seeks Early Release From Prison Over Rights Violation

Lyndon Abioye |

Suge Knight is demanding he be released from prison due to prejudicial errors in his 2015 hit-and-run case.

He claims he did not have three strikes when he accepted a plea deal and he was not allowed to represent himself during his trial.

Speaking to AllHipHop, Suge said:

“So an unfixable error, the only thing you got to do is you got to make a deal and let me go home or show I was right or you let me take my plea back and start all over,” he told the outlet. “But it’d be harder to start all over because you did all this bullsh-t with my case.”

He accepted a 28-year plea deal but says the sentence was too harsh and he was forced to accept it.

“This [is] my bed,” he told AllHipHop. “If they allowed me to go to trial, I would have won my case. I would have beat my case. But they didn’t. OK, I understand that, right? My crime carries two, six, 11 [years], if I was guilty. They gave me–naturally, they going to give me the high term, right? So my past, who I am, definitely is going to make sure I get some time. And I’m fine with that. But you don’t have the right to double me up.”
