Wtf happened to Don King

[JAB5239]

From wikipedia...

King was born in Cleveland, Ohio. After dropping out of Kent State University, he ran an illegal bookmaking operation, and was charged for killing two men in separate incidents 13 years apart. The first was determined to be justifiable homicide after it was found that King shot Hillary Brown in the back and killed him while he was attempting to rob one of King's ******** houses.[1] King was convicted of second degree murder for the second killing in 1966 after he was found guilty of stomping to death an employee, Sam Garrett, who owed him $600.[1] In an ex parte meeting with King's attorney, the judge reduced King's conviction to nonnegligent manslaughter for which King served just under four years in prison.[2] King was later pardoned for the crime in 1983 by Ohio Governor Jim Rhodes, with letters from Jesse Jackson, Coretta Scott King, George Voinovich, Art Modell, and Gabe Paul, among others, being written in support of King.[3]

Holy shit I've only known him since his early 90s Tyson days (born in the 80s) but he sounded like a badass.

Get the book, I promise you won't be disappointed.

Damn man stomping a guy to death. That's raw. He might've been the toughest promoter ever. That book sounds good. I know what I'm getting myself for Christmas.
