Boxing reporter Dan Rafael wrote that Kirkland was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon. [details]

i know what you mean but the bottom line is that he ****ed up. big time.

no question about it he fucked up. I just have sympathy and can understand why. I just hope he gets past this. Of all the things he and Anne Wolfe have gone through and worked so hard for, it would be a shame if it were all for nothing.

what's it look like for him? 2 clips is saying zero tolerance - so does that mean mandatory time?

if so - then before he goes away i bet ann wolfe beats his ass prior to getting sent up state.

the texas prison industry in the hugest in the country with the largest population,. and business is thriving,.. hundreds of thousands of people profit off the system,.. Kirkland will have to get an attorney with major clout to beat this one,..

california's is the largest
