Comments Thread For: Jermain Taylor Avoids Prison, Receives Suspended Sentence

Where's his family in all this? He needs good people around him that will make sure he gets appropriate medical care if he has brain damage.

And even then there might be nothing doctors can do. In that case they have to be his caretakers and look after him so he doesn't get into any more trouble.

No doubt about It. He needs to be In prison. There will be future victims and one of them might just be JT himself.

Hopefully the worthless ****** only harms himself as he goes. The judge who sentenced him certainly deserves a slap (as he cashes the check).

He's brain damaged as **** and just walked from multiple felony charges because his ranking is worth more then his actual life.

i'm really not sure i understand what's going on, or that i even want to. this is sad, sad, sad. just f#cking look at jermain taylor, a guy who was once heralded as the next big thing, and who ended the reign of a great fighter in bernard hopkins. looking like a nutcase and shackled is not how i wanted to see him end his career.


taylor was "accused" of shooting his cousin...? and he received a continuance for it? anybody have any more information on what facts came out, if he admitted to them, etc?


then he shoots his gun and threatens famiy... again.. and again it is continued / suspended?

and finally, he beats up a dude in rehab.. and it's continued?


pardon me, but doesn't that seem f#cking batsh#t crazy? two shootings, one where he actually hit somebody, and an ass whooping at an institution, and he gets 120 hours of community service and probation? am i missing something? were there not enough facts / evidence to prove anything regarding the shooting?

Its clear he got off because he has brain damage, it just won't be published due to hipaa

Good info. So **** CTE is just something guys in theory have til it can be proven or not after they've died. Didn't know that. I need to go watch that Will Smith movie. Heard it good.



You'd think that'd calm him down. But regardless I've never heard any Jermain meth type rumors & I've never had to calm down a friend who was high from talking about shooting up a parade. So it would seem obvious there is something else going on here besides drug use & bad decisions. Although maybe they aren't even considering that sort of **** at all in court & you'd need some advocate in the system to figure this out. I mean this CTE stuff is still kinda new mainstream-wise & this is Arkansas we're talking about.

well the article I linked, they were just talking about him drinking and smoking weed and the doctor in the article saying that brain damage + that combination would be worse than just a regular person drinking/smoking.

The court did throw him a bone here, he did a ton of chit and no jail time... the only thing that is troubling is theres no actual diagnosis of anything, no official diagnosis saying hes got brain damage, and the athletic commissions keep clearing him to fight on top of that. Its pretty obvious to me hes got CTE.

My friebd, you are way off base if you believe he has millions...

I never said he taylor has millions what I meant is another guy said they railroad poor blacks and I said they do the same to poor whites. so if taylor does not have millions it is way worse then I thought
