Comments Thread For: Mayweather Associate Takes Plea Deal in Shooting Case

[Sin City]

probably get 2 years on each to add up to 6 but only pull 3

the law doesn't work that way in Las Vegas..

u dont know what you are talking about. he can only be convicted of purjury if he makes the statement under oath, since he didnt, it doesnt matter what he said to the police. he never purjured himself in court and since this isnce going to trial, he will never be called to witness.

finally, as far as the whole conspiracy bit, it is not enough that he knows the guy. the d.a. would also have to show that floyd agreed to conspire with the guy and that he took a substantial step in furtherance of said conspiracy. cleary the d.a. does not have that evidence and therefoe, floyd will not and has not been charged with anything in this case. and if u think ive said anything wrong here, ur welcome to ask anoyone else.

I re-read the report, and you could be right about the perjury. As for the "conspiracy", I said it was a possibility. It still is, depending on what evidence the D.A. has. He might have video tapes or phone tapes of their conversations. It could be Mayweather possibly giving "instructions" or "hints", we don't know yet. He seems to have something. and the report itself says that the guy is a Mayweather "associate", so it was pretty ****** of Mayweather to lie to the police. In some places, lying to the police is an indictable offence.

I know for that in the U.S to lie to an FBI man is indictable.

I agree with your 3-time felony opinion, but not the rest. I think that the Las Vegas justice system does look at Mayweather favourably. A good example is that with all the woman beatings, threats, assaults, etc. he's been known to do, he was only sentenced on this last one. And it was a paltry term which will likely result in only about 75 days behind bars. Corrales got 2 years for a similiar offence, and wasn't a serial woman beater like Mayweather has shown to be. The guy has bodyguards with pistols, but still needs to personally assault some people, especially when they're women.

Or so it seems.

Proof noob? The previous case the woman later admitted to lying about the assault. pwned, next!

Unless mayweather paid this person to shoot at the vehicle, then I dont see how mayweather did anything wrong. So what if he knows the person. And I really am not buying the story that this guy tried to kill an SUV full of people because someone texted that they wanted mayweather to loose a fight.

The shooter might have been mayweathers friend, and mayweather might have known the people in the SUV and they may have texted mayweather.... but anyone with common sense realizes that is a ridiculous motive and that its deeper than that and the shooter and the people in the vehicle already had previous beef.

Don't be so ****** with your "pwned", whatever it means and whatever childish game you're playing. The woman retracted her accusation, but that doesn't mean that it wasn't originally true. Why was the original accusation filed anyway?? Isn't he finally going to gaol for this very thing? Hasn't Mayweather a reputation of slithering in and out of tight spots using money. I'm speculating here, but not too much. He's been "sailing close to the wind" for years, and there have been too many accusations for ALL of them to be fake. Some, undoubtedly, as he has money and could be a mark, but why should a boxer have 24 hour armed bodyguards?

I don't understand you. How do they have no proof of anything? Idoubt that the convicted Mayweather "associate" stooge would agree with you, because whatever they have, it was enough for him to accept a plea bargain which may get him 6 years. I'm only surprised that they didn't charge him with either 2 or 7 counts of attempted murder. The mere effect of shooting a bullet into the car is a potential murder attempt. And who ever heard of a charge of "shooting at a car"... That's like a charge of trespassing. The American Justice System is the most messed up collection of contradictions I've ever come across.

As for the Mayweather connection, I wouldn't think that the evidence they have connecting them together is just a "do you have a match sir" or "can you spare me a dollar"..... If it has any perceived connection to the shooting, like "getting" the two people in the car, the next move will be to charge Mayweather with being an accessory or perhaps the instigator. And perjury as well, perhaps.

I always thought that the prosecution settles for a plea-bargain only if the burdens-of-proof are complicated and difficult to prove. They must have had enough evidence to be sure of a conviction for the D.A. to decide on arrest and charge in the first place, and the guy is a potential murderer.

Mayweather has to clean up his act. He's just been lucky so far, but now they'll have him on the books so will be paying more attention to him.

That is, if the prosecutor is an anti-corruption straight shooter. (pardon the pun)

any regular joe smoe done did what mayweather junior did (threatin and poking finger in security guards face, wife beating, etc...) wouldve been in jain by now...how the fraud can get away with all of this felonies n misdemeanor is beyond me.

You are right re perjury. Unless he was under oath, he couldn't get convicted of this. He could be charged with providing false information to law enforcement though. Dumb of Floyd to deny knowing the guy. He should have just lawyered up and not answered any questions. He should know better than that, as much "interaction" with law enforcement as he's had.
