Not that I like the guy, but I can imagine his time will be way more than the punishment or complete lack there of that Lindsey Lohan and other bimbos on TV get for the same or worse. Fair system we have in place.

Mike Tyson admits drugs charges

Former world heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson has pleaded guilty to drug possession and driving under the influence of drugs.
He was arrested in December 2006 in Arizona after being spotted driving erratically as he left a nightclub.

Tyson, 41, initially denied the charges at an earlier hearing in January.

Tyson served three years in prison after a conviction for **** in 1992 and was jailed again in 1999 for assaulting two people after a traffic accident.

The latest charges carry a total maximum sentence of just over four years in jail.

Rehab

He was arrested in Scottsdale, Arizona on 29 December after nearly crashing his car into a police car as he left a nightclub.

Prosecutors said Tyson had 2.16g of ******* in his possession and traces of marijuana in his system when he was arrested.

At the time of his arrest, police reportedly said the former boxer admitted that he was addicted to *******.

At the plea hearing Tyson's lawyer, David Chesnoff, said the former champion was undergoing rehabilitation treatment in California and has been clean for eight months.

"He took the bull by the horns and has managed to deal with his addictions and stay sober for an extended period of time," Mr Chesnoff told reporters after the hearing.

"He's not in denial. He's acknowledged that what he did was wrong," he added.

In 1986 Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion in history, aged 20.

He is due to be sentenced on 19 November.

Good while he lasted...

Oh, what could have been of mere mortals.

Supernovas that grace our planet in human form to give us a brief glimpse of their greatness, only to depart just as fast as they arrived.

The next hundred years will evidence us of the shooting stars that opt to take a detour into our atmosphere just as a millions seeds rush toward the ovum out of which only one succeeds in penetrating the egg to create a new life.

We await the next superstar.
