Knight reportedly said, "Since I have been here, I've lost about 30 lbs ... I can't really see. I can't really comprehend what's going on." Supposedly Knight claims to be blind in one eye and have 15 percent vision in the other.

The Los Angeles Times reports that Knight, who is being held on charges of murder and attempted murder in connection with the hit and run, was in court to announce that he would no longer be represented by lawyer David Kenner.

Another attorney, James Blatt, previously released the following statement about his client,

We feel strongly Mr. Knight did not do anything wrong in this matter. He was attacked by a number of individuals; that has already been corroborated by certain witnesses. He left the scene because he was in fear for his safety and life.
