The evidence hearing for Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s felony domestic violence case in Las Vegas has been reset to March 10. Mayweather, 33-years-old, appeared in a Las Vegas court on Monday with attorney Karen Winckler, adviser Leonard Ellerbe and girlfriend Shantel Jackson.

Mayweather is accused of hitting and threatening the mother of his children and threatening to beat two of the children during an argument at her home in September. Outside court, Mayweather declined to comment about the case. Mayweather, who denies any wrongdoing, could face up to 34 years in state prison if he’s convicted of all charges.

Nevermind you guys, I should have read Mark's article.

Mark said evidence hearing, So based on Mark saying they were at his evidence hearing. It is to my understanding Mayweather had to plea guilty or use his right to silence. However if he did that they should have assume his right of silence was his not guilty plea.

How I understand it, and just look it up to be sure.

If the defendant pleads guilty, an evidentiary hearing usually follows. The court is not required to accept a guilty plea. During the hearing, the judge will assess the offense, mitigating factors, and the defendant's character, and pass sentence.

If the defendant pleads not guilty, a date will be set for a preliminary hearing or a trial.


So what is up with this case?

Boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. won't have his next round in court on several felony charges until March, thanks to a delay granted this morning in Las Vegas Justice Court.

The 33-year-old Mayweather, wearing a vest and tie, made a brief appearance in court this morning for a preliminary hearing on eight misdemeanor and felony charges stemming from a Sept. 9 dispute with his former girlfriend, Josie Harris.

Mayweather's attorney, Karen Winckler, asked for a continuance of the case and Justice of the Peace Melissa Saragosa reset the date for 9:30 a.m. March 10.

After the brief court appearance, Mayweather quickly left with three men and a woman in his entourage. He waved off reporters' questions about the charges, then turned around to speak.

"Yeah, I want to say something. When I'm feeding the homeless come interview me," he said. "When I'm going for kids that are less fortunate, that's when I want you to come interview me."

As Mayweather waited to get on an elevator, James Dean Leavitt, chairman of the Nevada Board of Regents, came up to shake his hand and introduced himself. Other fans recognized him and shook his hand as he left the Regional Justice Center.

Mayweather faces charges of felony coercion, grand larceny and robbery, and misdemeanor domestic battery and harassment after allegedly beating his ex-girlfriend and stealing her cell phone during an argument in front of their three children last week.

The coercion counts stem from Mayweather allegedly threatening to "beat" two of his children if they called 911 or left the house, according to the complaint.

During the Sept. 9 argument with his ex-girlfriend, Josie Harris, Mayweather allegedly grabbed her hair and threw her to the floor, the complaint stated.

He also allegedly threatened to kill Harris and her boyfriend or make her boyfriend "disappear," according to the criminal complaint.

Mayweather is out on bail and could face up to 34 years in state prison if he's convicted of all charges.

Documents indicated Harris and Mayweather lived together for seven years and separated in May 2010 after 15 "on and off" years.

A nine-page request for a protection order alleges Mayweather pulled Harris's hair, punched her in the head and twisted her arm while she screamed for their children, ranging in age from 7 to almost 11, to call 911.

"He yelled and screamed that he was going to kill me and my boyfriend," Harris wrote. "Floyd has threatened to have other people do harm to me as well and if (there) is a way I can be protected from that please help me."

Meanwhile, Mayweather also faces a bench trial Feb. 3 in Las Vegas Justice Court on a misdemeanor battery complaint for allegedly poking a security guard in the face several times Nov. 15 over a parking ticket. That trial will be at 9 a.m. Feb. 3 before Justice of the Peace Janiece Marshall.

The battery allegation stems from a Nov. 15 confrontation over parking tickets between the undefeated champion and a security guard outside Mayweather's home.

Mayweather faces a a six-month jail sentence and a $1,000 fine if convicted on that charge.

Mayweather is considered one of the sport's top performers, with a record of 41-0 and 25 knockouts. He goes by the nickname "Money" and earned more than $20 million in May from his fight in Las Vegas against "Sugar" Shane Mosley.

Hey BPP or Mark this was a preliminary hearing not a evidence hearing.

You guys have to change that up, because you guys are going to mislead alot of people by posting it was a evidence hearing which means Mayweather pleading Guilty which he did not do. Intead of a preliminary hearing, because he pleaded not guilty to all charges, which he did.

I know you guys value facts posting articles on this site, so I am just giving you guys the heads up that reporting that this was a evidence hearing is not accurant nor the truth.

He didnt plead guilty my dude, Mark Vester and BPP are reporting it wrong.
Hopefully they change it soon so people do not get mislead into believing he did plead guilty. As I almost did, just by reading he was at his evidence hearing. When he was really at his preliminary hearing.
