Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford Sentenced to 50 Days in Jail in Body Shop Case

[aldo5408]

90 days, 2 years probation and 120 hrs community service.. gotdamn!! there has to be priors or the judge was simply offended by Bud's demeanor in court.. "you've continued to act as if you're above the law", judges usually say that to people who show no remorse and give off that "im untouchable" aura...this looks like a case of having a bad attitude in the wrong place..with the wrong judge..for the actual "crime" itself, a simple fine would've been sufficient, Judge Judy handles these cases all the time.

Edit: just read another article and found this quote.

Crawford's attorney, Matthew Kahler, plans on appealing the sentence, noting that it's a severe punishment for two misdemeanors.
"This is his first and only adult conviction of any significance, and for crimes of disorderly conduct and property damage it's an abnormally high sentence,'' Kahler said, according to the Associated Press. "It's the most significant sentence I've seen from that judge for those charges.''

so there you have it, this is just a judge b*tch slapping Crawford for his attitude in the courtroom.. that happens more than you think.

he's been arrested before

Wow...is this f**king for real??

Yep. It's called paying the price when you break the law. And this has absolutely zero to do with his level of talent. And I hope he has to do a full remittance to the shop owner for damages as well. No room for big headed ee-diotts who think they're above the law.

Bud is gonna eat crap food, SOS **** on a Shingle, mystery meat sandwiches, and whatever he can buy at commissary.

He should have stayed clear of Adrian Broner type drama.

He'll be out in less than a month I guess, if he goes to jail at all.

This is what happens when you take gangsters as your role models.

What should he get for it? Acting like an animal should get you thrown in jail

A fine and some kind of community service would do just fine. Throwing people in cages for nothing of course they will behave like animals.

however, it is good knowing you'll be doing time and your career will not be affected by it in the least. could be a good mini vacation to thin out his circle.

pre jail crawford was much better than post jail crawford

[KLockard23]

Why? Its sucks to be in any kind of legal trouble. I feel bad for anyone going through the court system, whether its family, criminal, or civil law. Dont get me wrong, I believe if you do the crime you do the time BUT the anxiety a man or woman and their family has to endure in court is awful.

Because I always fear that a celebrity will get off lightly (or just get off completely) from persecution of the law because of their status as a celebrity. It makes me happy when they don't.

anyone who has the time or ability to read up on what happened will know that TC got the time largely because of his attitude. Judges hate to see celebrities come in thinking they better than the average

he certainly could have played the contrite, apologetic role and got off easy. like dude, you got money. pay this small time business owner his lil 2k to 4k (cuz you fkd up his property!!!!) and move on. smdh.
