LOS ANGELES (AP) — Former rap music mogul Marion "Suge" Knight collapsed in a courtroom Friday shortly after a judge ordered him held on $25 million bail in a murder case.

 Bailiffs cleared the courtroom, paramedics arrived with a stretcher a few minutes later and an ambulance was seen leaving the courthouse. 
 
 Defense attorney Matthew Fletcher said Knight was unconscious when the lawyer left the courtroom and an update on his condition was not immediately available. 
 
 Fletcher said his client, who is diabetic and has a blood clot, previously told him that he hadn't received any medication since Thursday. 
 
 Knight hit his head on a chair when he fell after the bail hearing, Fletcher said. 
 
 The 6-foot-4-inch tall Knight collapsed while deputies were bringing him back into the courtroom after Fletcher asked a judge to order that Knight be given his medication. 
 
 The attorney said Knight was being kept in solitary confinement in jail without proper access to medication. 
 
 "He's being treated worse than Charles Manson," Fletcher said. 
 
 The collapse marked the fourth time that Knight has been taken by ambulance from a courthouse since he was charged with killing Terry Carter, 55, in early February. 
 
 Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Ronald S. Coen set bail on Friday at $25 million for Knight, who is accused of running down and killing Carter with his truck. 
 
 Coen made his decision after Deputy District Attorney Cynthia Barnes noted that Knight was on bail in a robbery case when he struck Carter and another man in a parking lot in Compton. 
 
 "He escalated his behavior and committed murder," Barnes told the judge. 
 
 Fletcher argued that Knight's bail should be set at $2 million, but Coen said the higher amount was warranted. 
 
 The attorney said before the hearing that his client likely could not post bail if it was set at $25 million. 
 
 Knight, the 49-year-old co-founder of Death Row Records, has pleaded not guilty to murder, attempted murder and hit-and-run charges. 
 
 Barnes filed a motion Thursday accusing Knight of being part of a scheme that has extorted more than $10 million from up-and-coming and established rappers in recent years. 
 
 Fletcher countered that prosecutors should file charges involving those extortion claims if they have enough evidence. 
 
 Fletcher also said phone records and other evidence in the murder case would show that Knight was lured to the location where the men were hit by the truck. Knight was attacked when he arrived and hit the two men while trying to flee the scene, the lawyer said. 
 
 Fletcher said Cle "Bone" Sloan acknowledged to sheriff's investigators that he attacked Knight. The attorney argued his client wasn't required to remain at the scene and endure the attack, and that Sloan should be charged. 
 
 "If his name wasn't 'Suge' Knight, they wouldn't have filed this case," Fletcher said. 
 
 Knight was a key player in the gangster rap scene that flourished in the 1990s, his label once listing Dr. Dre, Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg among its artists. Knight lost control of the company after it was forced into bankruptcy.

 Knight received the high-term of 11 years in prison for the voluntary manslaughter count that doubled because he has a prior conviction under California's three strikes law, and received an additional five years because the conviction was for a serious and violent felony and a year for the deadly weapon allegation, the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office said in a statement to E! News. 
 
 ______ 
 
 Suge Knight struck a plea deal for fatally running over and killing a man in 2015. 
 
 According to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, the music producer entered a plea for manslaughter by use of a deadly weapon, which was his truck. 
 
 Per his agreement, the star is expected to serve 28 years in state prison at the Department 101 of the Foltz Criminal Justice Center starting on Oct. 4. 
 
 In January 2015, the music mogul was initially charged with one count of murder, one count of attempted murder and two counts of hit-and-run with an allegation that he committed a serious and violent felony while out on bail in another pending case. 
 
 At the time of the incident, the producer turned himself into the authorities, but was denied bail due to his criminal past. 
 
 The incident, which Knight's attorney has referred to as a "tragic accident," occurred on the set of a commercial shoot with The Game, Ice Cube and Dr. Dre.
– Marion "Suge" Knight pleaded not guilty this morning to murder and attempted murder, and it was apparently a stressful experience: TMZ reports that the former hip-hop music mogul suffered a panic attack and was rushed to the hospital. It's the second time he's ended up hospital-bound while in police custody; he passed out in a jail cell in November because of a blood clot. Knight was charged yesterday with murder after he struck two men with his pickup truck last week. Prosecutors allege that Knight intended to run down a friend and another man after an argument on a movie set. The friend, Terry Carter, was killed; Cle "Bone" Sloan was injured, TMZ reports. Attorney James Blatt says Knight accidentally ran over the men on Thursday as he tried to escape a vicious attack. Knight's initial bail of $2 million was revoked yesterday after a court commissioner agreed that he was a potential flight risk and could intimidate witnesses. Knight faced four felony counts including murder in the death of 55-year-old Carter; "attempted, willful, deliberate, and premeditated murder" involving 51-year-old Sloan; plus two charges of hit-and-run. Authorities say Knight had argued with Sloan, who was working at a location for Straight Outta Compton, a film about the rise of the rap group NWA. They allege the argument resumed in the parking lot where the two men were run down after Knight and Sloan exchanged punches through the pickup truck's window. A conviction could result in Knight's third serious felony under California's three strikes sentencing law, and lead to a life sentence.
