How is it BS? No one here was on that jury. It really aggravates me when people read clips on news or watch clips on TV or internet and think they know what happened in a court room.

The guy is a scumbag convicted rapist who should have been thrown under the fucking jail and never been seen or heard from again.

So clearly you're completely unaware of Don King's role in that.

It's been a pretty open secret for 25 years or so that it was a setup.

Bad news for Jake Paul.

(KTLA) — Mike Tyson suffered a medical emergency on a flight headed to Los Angeles from Miami on Sunday night.

“Thankfully Mr. Tyson is doing great,” Tyson’s representatives said. “He became nauseous and dizzy due to an ulcer flare-up 30 minutes before landing. He is appreciative to the medical staff that were there to help him.”

Tyson’s reps said that reports that the flight was delayed due to the emergency are inaccurate. The flight took off two hours later than scheduled.

“It’s false reporting that his medical attention caused the flight delay,” his team stated. “This two-hour delay was due to an air conditioning issue on the aircraft.”

Big money grab on her part. She invited him up there, let him have his way, then cried rape. I don't have to be on the jury to tell that the dude was railroaded by that prosecutor who shut down anyone who was going to tell the court that they knew what she was up to.

Mike was guilty of being a dummy who thought he could get some easy ass and not have it blow back on him.

As an attorney I wish I could say the justice system is perfect, it isn't. Especially in rape cases. Prosecutors don't need witnesses, or physical evidence. They just need a person's statement and away they go. And honestly some prosecutors don't care if a person is innocent or guilty. They would rather try a case than to dismiss a rape charge that they think could be wrong. Public perception is awful on these things and they are elected. If a prosecutor dismisses a rape charge against someone they potentially face public backlash that could lead to them losing their job at the next election.

But I also agree that the general public has no idea about the true nature of a criminal case. Some evidence is never presented. Some evidence is never allowed to be presented. Some defenses are barred by statute. The public sees a charge, and a result and they react. But that doesn't really mean they have any idea what really happened. As an attorney sitting behind the scenes I can tell you that I've wanted to reply to facebook posts about cases when people have no idea what they are talking about. But I can't and would never want to wrap myself up in those messes. Still it's hard when you see that people have no idea what really happened.

Like anyone would care about Paul vs Chael Sonnen, whoever the hell that is.

Does make me wonder if this whole thing was a publicity stunt. It never made sense that Mike would really fight against a spare like Paul.

Might be cynical, but that's the world we live in.

I have wondered that since it was announced. But I sure was hoping to get to see Tyson beat the brakes off that douchecanoe.

It's just a money grab. Tyson is a big name, that's all it's really about. It's not like the guy is still a competitive boxer. Nothing about this is really a sport. It's just a novelty thing with big names. If you take Tyson's name out of it, no one is going to want to watch it.

This is some Twiter rando and could be total BS, but I could see this being the truth.
