Was Mike Tyson guilty.....

[BIG H]

Of Rape?

I guess we'll never know, but my opinion is that he was set up.

[DaxxKahn]

I never felt he was set up but on the same hand I never felt he was truly guilty.

The girl knew what was going on she was there against the rules of the pagent,

they fooled around they had a good time Mike talked her into doing the deed, I am sure with some pursuasion afterwards he treated her like a scrub she was offended and that was her way of getting back at him and covering her ass at the same time

[El Kabong]

He was guilty of using the wrong lawyer is all....that conviction actually prolonged his career so in the end it benefitted him

Watching the recent Tyson film, I thought it was quite telling that he still showed genuine hatred towards her. He seemed like someone that TRULY believes they were wronged.

most rapists do believe they've done nothing wrong.

Considering one of my many fields of expertise lies in psychology - i make you right.

Desire Washington had previously accused a high school athlete of rape.

She went to Tyson's hotel room, sometime around 2 to 3 a.m.

When she arrived, she admittedly removed her panty liner in the bathroom

After they were done having sex/rape, Desire asked Mike to walk her down stairs to her limo. Mike refused, and they got into an argument.

She then waits over 24 hours before she calls 911.

The case was ultimately assigned to a judge who was a former rape prosecutor.

The judge made numerous questionable decisions during the trial which went against Tyson.

For instance, he would not allow three witnesses from the pageant testify, who observed Washington and Tyson making out earlier that night. His rulings were based on legal technicalities.

Desire Washington testified at the criminal trial, that this was not about money, and that she would not bring a civil suit against Tyson. Immediately after the criminal trial , she filed a civil suit.


The bottom line is that the case came down to credibility: his word against hers. And apparently, the beauty queen made a better witness then the fighter.

Good summary & in addition to her being a better witness, it sounds like she might be a good liar too.

Nice post

Tyson has admitted to a lot of horrible things, but yet he still completely denies that he raped Desiree Washington. Again, it's just my opinion, but I think Tyson would probably have admitted it at this stahe had he have done it

One of Mike Tyson's quotes.

"He called me a 'rapist" and a '"reclulse". I'm not a recluse."

[Kel]

I always thought he was innocent of rape and the way he talked about "That wretched swine of a woman" Desiree in his film/documentary really did reinforce that somewhat.

No. A girl goes to your hotel room at 2 in the morning she ain't going there to play cards. She going there to get fukked

Tyson cocky attiude didn't exactly help him. Especially with a female judge. Like Lyle said his lawyers were horrible. One wasn't even a criminal lawyer. He was tax lawyer

[AdamGB]

Isn't that what Big H is saying

[celtichiggo]

Personally i think he is not guilty.
