Rap mogul Suge Knight recommended a judge not require him to be in wheelchair after the celebrity previously said he was "paralyzed on one side" of his body, according to TMZ.
Officials ordered him to be rolled into the Los Angeles courtroom for a hearing about his robbery case involving comedian Katt Williams and Knight, who reportedly pocketed a photographer's camera in Beverly Hills, Calif., The Los Angeles Times reported. Los Angeles Judge Ronald Coen said Knight was put on the transporter because there was concern that he might fall after he said that he was numb.
Knight claimed he did not say that, according to video footage. The former record producer will therefore be able to walk on his own two legs at his next court appearance May 27 as he did before the hearing. He will also be required to have another attorney for the alleged September camera stealing incident after he fired his former representation, David Kenner.
The wheelchair incident has not been Knight's only struggle with court accommodations. The Death Row Records founder previously collapsed in court after hearing Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Ronald Coen set his bail money amount at $25 million for the reported deliberate murder of Terry Carter and Cle "Bone" Sloan on the set of the N.W.A. biopic "Straight Outta Compton."
Knight's lawyer says Knight was trying to get away from an attack. Knight faces life in prison if he is found guilty, BBC News reported.
Knight was also reportedly trying to come to peace with record producer Dr. Dre after an argument on the set of another scene for the highly anticipated biopic, according to The New York Daily News.
