Comments Thread For: Mike Tyson Loses Temper Over **** Case Question

[CubanGuyNYC]

As several people have already stated, only two people truly know what happened on the night in question. For the sake of discussion, I'll offer my two cents:

Years ago, I believed Mike Tyson was railroaded. I no longer feel that way. I'm not convinced, but I lean much more toward the belief that Tyson did what he was convicted of.

Clearly, Desiree Washington should not have gone up to Tyson's room at all, especially at such a late hour. But is it so far-fetched that an 18 year-old girl from a small town in Rhode Island could be so naive?

Tyson was regarded in a very different light from what we know today. He was this giggly kid who was seen as so wholesome that he was doing Pepsi commercials and selling video games with his name on them. Anybody remember that? This was, of course, before the conviction, the infamous "Oprah" interview and Tyson's very public baring of his inner-self.

As far as I know, Desiree never sought any kind of financial gain or exposure from her fateful encounter with Mike Tyson. In fact, I'll bet that many of the members here couldn't recall her name before they read it in this post. (This is fairly uncommon in this day and age, where everyone is trying to "get paid," no matter how humiliating their story.)

I tend to agree with some of the people that speculate Tyson is capable of admitting his crime publicly after all these years. He seems truly remorseful for his past life, calling himself a "pig" and a "piece of ****." (Does that sound like someone incapable of ****?)

Tyson may very well believe he never ****d Desiree, or even be in denial about it. In his mind, the very fact that a young woman came up to his hotel room at a late hour could very well have meant she was consenting to sex. If that's the case, his thinking explains his actions, but it doesn't excuse them.

tyson should be able to **** whoever he wants

Didn't she get a sizable Civil Legal Settlement, to sooth her Anxiety?

I don't know. You tell me. Better yet, provide links for all to see.

Don't know why some clowns still bring this thing up. Mike paid his dues and is now a well-behaved family man. What more do you want to know? What can you possibly get out of it?

I see it as simply a topic of discussion, like everything else around here. If you didn't read my earlier post on the issue, I wonder how you might feel if Tyson's convicted act might affect your thinking had he done it to someone you love. Would you still say (after he served three years on a **** charge) he "paid his dues"? Would you forget about it and insist others do as well?

Of Course that question was being asked OVER THE PHONE because we know that would not have been asked in person

LOL, you've never met Mike Tyson in your life. Everybody here has seen, and heard him.

I think he is capable of ****, and I believe he did **** her. He probably was angry, and she knew how to push his buttons to make it worse, and he snapped, and ****d her.

He went to court, that means all the evidence there could possibly be, from BOTH sides, were presented. Obviously a jury of his peers did not find any reasonable doubt that he was not guilty. . . Are there wrongful convictions? Sure there are! I don't see any reason to doubt his innocence more than the next man who claims he's innocent, though. In fact, judging by the behavior I have seen, I think he is guilty of raping her.

Why would he admit he ****d a woman? Mike is no fool. . He knows he still has a name, and a persona to make money off of. If he admitted he ****d her, nobody would touch him, and he'd be broke again. . . .

You are embarassing yourself in this thread making these long posts when you don't even know what you're talking about.

Instead of thinking "look at him he was an aggressive guy, so he must have done it" you could actually look at the details and facts of the case.

The fact that Washington had a history of wrongfully accusing others of **** before(all dismissed). A girl with that kind of history is going up to Tyson's room at night because she's 'naive'? Yeah sure. Or the fact that Tyson's defense was Don King's tax attorney who botched the case so badly, that after some time after the conviction a lot of jury members of that case changed their minds about the conviction. Or that Tyson could have only served a couple of months at best if he said he was guilty, but then responded that he would rather face life in prison than have to admit to doing something he didn't do.
You know what Desiree claimed when asked why she went to Tyson's room at 3 in the morning? She wanted an autograph for her dad. Yeah.
Or the fact that really the only evidence presented for Washington was a cab driver who claimed she looked distressed on the way back, and two small ******* abrasions(no other physical injuries whatsoever) that the doctor discovered. Now really, if a young Tyson were to violently **** a tiny 18 year old girl, do you really think that two small bruises in her lying **** are going to be the only injuries she suffers?

A lot can be said about this old topic, but I would bet a ton that if you went back in time and gave Tyson a great lawyer he would not have gone to prison.

Mike said, 'he was set up, and at his stage of his life, I take him at his word..... The sophisticated new York audiance, Knew that the Lady didn't go to Mike's Room, at 3AM, for Cookies and Milk...I think Mike FINISHED with her, SHOWED her the DOOR, and she became a Woman Scorned...A Dangerous One!!!

That's exactly what happened - groupie did the truth & told a lie. Same thing I got from my people. l believe the hood before the press any day......

If Desiree Washington was ****d, and Mike Tyson was guilty of it, do you think she's over it? Wouldn't you think she probably thinks about it every day, or nearly every day, until the end of her days? Imagine how she would feel every time Tyson's image comes on television, every time his name is mentioned, every time she hears his voice. That must happen a lot.

There's a line from the movie "Gladiator" where “Maximus” says, "What we do in life echoes in eternity." Whether we like it or not, there are some actions so terrible (or great) that the passage of time can only dim them but cannot fully extinguish them.

what would you have liked them to do to Tyson then? give him the death sentence? shun him from tv for ever?

The incessant defending of Mike Tyson's past has got to stop! !

He was an animal during his early days who among other things threatened to ****** Teddy Atlas' 11 year old niece and was recorded on camera telling a female interviewer to have sex with him or leave the room.

Tyson is an all time great boxer but lets not pretend that raping a women was in any way uncharacteristic of his former self.

He shouldn't have any business in a country he has been understandably banned from but he persisted in gaining entry on his own accord, and so should be expected to answer some uncomfortable questions from the native tabloids.
