It's ironic ... Suge Knight fled the scene after killing
a man in his truck, but now he claims he should be released from jail because
he's not a flight risk.
Suge and his lawyer certainly have
balls. They say a 6'3", 315 pound African American man doesn't have many
places to effectively hide. They also say the famous defendant is one of the
most recognizable people in America.
Suge -- who's being held without bail --
also says he's more than willing to accept home detention with an electronic
monitoring bracelet ... assuming there's one that fits.
And there's another pesky issue.
Authorities believe Suge instills fear wherever he goes and they worry he'd
strong-arm eyewitnesses to the truck incident.
But Suge's lawyer, Matthew Fletcher, says he's repped Mexican gang
honchos who regularly put the screws to people and they get bail.
Suge's bail hearing is set for
Friday ... assuming he makes it. His court runs have been regularly interrupted
with 911 calls that landed him in the hospital.
