In a recent interview with the New York Daily News, Suge Knight’s second eldest son, Suge Jacob Knight, said his father is being treated unfairly while in custody.
“It’s extreme,” he said. “They’re treating him like a mass murderer.”
The former Death Row Records CEO is currently in jail for his involvement in a hit and run back in 2015, where he is accused of running over two men and killing one.
Knight was arrested, charged with murder and attempted murder and placed on $10.5 million bail as he awaited trial. Unfortunate for Mr. Knight, the trial was postponed again at a court hearing Wednesday (Feb. 22) until early summer, the New York Daily News reports.
Shortly after the hearing, the son posted a pic to Instagram of his father in an orange jail jumpsuit. In the caption, he tells how he feels his father is being mistreated and neglected.
“Im grateful to see my dad this morning, but it hurt me to see him get neglected right in front of my face. Im distugsted that these people take an oath to serve justice but do the exact opposite,” he wrote. “I havent seen or heard this mans voice in two years!…I dont know anybody who can sit in solitary confinement for two years and not speak to, nor choose his own lawyer.”
Knight was placed in solitary confinement in February of last year. The caption continues, “When will they let him get the best chance to defend himself… I really need those that actually support and who has a heart to reach out. I have great news but i need justice to be served.”
The 21-year-old son said he came from Fisk University in Nashville to attend the court hearing in attempts to see his father in person. “They even had the officer block my dads view to see me!” he wrote.
