Boxer Jermain Taylor: "I'm No Terrorist" Pleads Not Guilty In Gun Incident
Printable View
To be fair even a terrorist would say I'm not a terrorist, so lets see how it pans out.
"Boxing superstar Jermain Taylor just appeared in court ... and said he's NOT GUILTY of assault and making terroristic threats at a Martin Luther King Jr. day parade back in January
Taylor was arrested in Arkansas after he allegedly pulled a gun on a married couple and their 3 young children ... and fired two shots in a rage ... after one of the children dropped his championship belt.
Taylor was charged with 5 counts of aggravated assault, 1 count of making a terroristic threat and 1 count of possession of a controlled substance."
So what I don't get is what were the children doing holding on to his belt at a parade. Maybe I'm just reading into it wrong?
No. Not a terrorist. Just insane.
Poor dude, all screwed up in the head
The man has messed up, but I'd like to have a cup of tea with him and no he is no terrorist. Taylor has never ordered anyone dead by drone. He is black though which means his penalty will be harsh and if he was a cop then all would be dandy.
It's hard for me to believe his peculiar behavior isn't related to head trauma.
Any news about his court ordered mental evaluation?
Well at this point Jermain, you could probably avoid jail time by pleading insanity caused by CTE....but that would also effectively end your boxing career so there's that.
Unless he says he was ill when it happened and is healthy and cured now.Quote:

Within reason, because there will only be so much the judge will allow and the jury will accept as valid. But again, go aheadQuote:

Winning that trinket was a very bad thing for him, shouldn't have been in there to begin with.
