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

[CubanGuyNYC]

Im not just pointing the finger at a guy taccused of **** . . i'm pointing the finger at a guy accused, charged, held to stand trial by a grand jury, and found GUILTY of **** after a trial.

WHo else am I accusing of **** aside from Tyson here?

Yeah, it is done - he's no longer in prison. But if he wants to travel to another country, then he should be prepared to face his past. Traveling to another country is not your right, it's a PRIVILEGE. He should be thankful? Did they dent him access? NO. They scrutinized his past, and asked him questions. He should be thankful they gave him the cahcne to explain himself.

You did the crime, nnow deal with it, and face the consequences, and repercussions that come along with it. Just like if you ****** a child, even after you serve your time, you deserve to be put on a "watch list."

You've made some good points on this thread, but this one might be the most powerful. Let's face it, there are crimes and then there are crimes. Tyson would never get any sympathy whatsoever if he were convicted of ******ing a child. But your observation is valid. It's unreasonable to ask that certain crimes be somehow forgotten, even after the perpetrator has "paid his debt to society."

The story is this girl went out that night with Tyson in his limo. They messed around in the car, everything consensual. Everyone was happy, then they went back to Tyson's hotel room. She didn't have to go; she chose to go. They messed around, had consensual sex, she spent the night. Early the next morning she is up, singing and dancing in the bathroom doing her hair. She asked Mike if he'd wake up and walk her down to the limo, and he responded, "No, he needed a bit more sleep, before he left town that day". She got p***ed off, now feeling "used" from the night before, and stormed out of his hotel room, with a vendetta in mind, claiming "foul". Don King sets Tyson up with a tax attorney, rather than a top trial attorney, and Tyson had no chance to win that case. From very credible sources, that's the story that took place. Had Tyson got out of bed, walked her down to the car, returned to his room and back to bed, none of that would have happened to Tyson. So when these TV stations interview and continue to bring that incident up, I'm sure it becomes growingly more painful for him to hear, when he paid his price, cost him worldwide humiliation to start with, he's turned his life around, striving to be a good husband and father, and these rubes living back in the day still want to labor you down with that painful questions of that night.

This is the story I heard.

I addressed this notion in an earlier post. I tend to agree that Tyson might well admit his wrongdoing if he understood it, and therefore believed it. It's quite possible that Tyson thinks what he did was okay, or that he's in denial about it.

Possible however doesn't mean probable, that's just a way of justifying a potentially erroneous Court judgement.

There are two parts to a crime, actus reus (the act) and men's rea (mental element). What you're describing is someone is someone who didn't have a readily apparent mental element to commit the crime.

who even cares? was like 20 years ago. If he was guilty, he paid his dues.

Pimps up hoes down anyways, **** that hoe

[Uturn]

People should leave Mike alone for once. Who knows what really happened. It was a long time ago anyway.

Believe me, I'm not trying to excuse Tyson for what he did. I originally brought up the idea to address those who believe he wasn't guilty. The point is, whether Tyson thought he was raping Desiree, or whether he meant to or not, he's still culpable.

That hoe took advantage of Tyson!! Who wants to go to New Zealand anyways?

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

I don't know either, but I do know that a Woman Scorned, is a dangerous thing...

He should of had the presence of mind and the intelligence to realize he was going to be asked those kind of questions without getting angry.

Personally I don't agree with country's bending there rules to allow convicted rapists into there country just because it happens to be a famous convicted rapist.

Mike was never proven guilty. He did 3yrs for the sole reason that ol' girl had a better witness than Mike did. Mike's best witness was his honesty!

And for the record, N.Z. ain't havin' to bENd no rules if my man wasn't proven guilty!!

[jbpanama]

Couldn't it be possible that Tyson being innocent made him view the false accussations as such a big joke that he didn't even feel the need to waste the money to hire a real lawyer? I mean surely if you really are guilty and know it, you wouldn't play around with your life by not hiring the best lawyer possible. I think if he were truly guilty he would have made sure he had Johnny Cochran or the absolute best he could get.

King "guided" Mike to the Wall Street Legal Men....
What Mike needed, was Gerry Spence, or a simalar
Country Boy Type...Maybe Don was losing Control
of Mike, and the situation, put El King in Back in Control!!
