I agree. He was probably singled out because some people were angry at him during that time for evading the draft.

Exum Speight was arrested in 2013 for the 1987 murder of his former manager Douglas Stumler (over 26 years ago.) - ''Speight, perhaps best known for losing a 1996 bout with current heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko.''
