Former rap mogul Marion "Suge" Knight was transported to the hospital Monday, following a hearing in which a Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge ordered all future hearings for Knight to be held in downtown Los Angeles. 

The Los Angeles Times reports that Knight told presiding judge James Brandlin that he was unable to process much of anything during the hearing.

“I can’t really see," Knight said, who was wearing an orange jumpsuit and eyeglasses. "I can’t really comprehend what’s going on."

Knight, the 49-year-old co founder of Death Row Records, is currently being held without bail for one murder charge and one attempted-murder charge for a Jan. 29 hit-and-run in a Compton parking lot that left Terry Carter, 55, dead and Cle "Bone" Sloan, 51 injured.

The former executive is also charged with robbery for allegedly stealing a camera with comedian Katt Williams from a celebrity photographer last September.  Knight has pleaded not guilty to all three charges.

This is now the third time that Knight has been transported to the hospital since he was first charged with murder in early February. During Monday's hearing, he told the judge he is blind in one eye and has lost 35 pounds as a result of ongoing complications from a shooting last August in which he was shot six times. 

The case has now been transferred to Judge Ronald Coehn, who has called for another hearing on March 9. If convicted, Knight faces up to life in prison for the murder of Carter.
