Suge Knight Tried to Overturn His 28-Year Prison Sentence. It Didn’t Go Well.

Suge Knight will remain incarcerated after a failed attempt to have his 28-year prison sentence overturned.

Los Angeles County Judge Laura F. Priver denied the Death Row Records co-founder’s appeal request, arguing that Knight waited too long to file, and adding that he seemed insincere, Rolling Stone reported. He argued that his permanent prison housing, the COVID-19 pandemic, and losing sight in one eye, negatively impacted his ability to file for appeal. They believe he was angry about being turned away from a meeting with Dr. Dre and Ice Cube — for the movie Straight Outta Compton — which took place earlier in the day.
