Causing death by dangerous driving still a possibility surely.

Cuban boxers have a history of driving like shit.

He has plenty of family and friends. It’s his home country.

They have made it easier for Cuban defectors to return to Cuba, they are even starting to promote professional boxing from what I read.

Either way that sucks for him, I don't see a reason for him to be jailed unless he was speeding or driving reckless which is a big possibility either that or he left the scene of the crime. I do know Cuba has some crazy laws, like you can get 20+ years for killing a cow.

Try because he killed somebody and a couple days won’t hurt his a_S while they investigate, dammmm!
